Best condo we've rented so far
Best condo we've rented so far

Five friends and I rented this condo for our annual ski trip (3rd year renting through VRBO). By far, this is the best place we've stayed. Excellent location! Not only is the condo walking distance to the Creekside gondola, but if you are lazy like we were, you can drive down and park in the _free_ parking lot across the street from Creekside. Overall a great deal, since the lines at Whistler Village are at least 2x longer, and the parking there is $10/day. And the apres ski place at Creekside (Dusty's) has the best nachos of any ski resort, hands down.
The condo itself was even more beautiful and spacious than the pictures show. We definitely could have brought another 2 people and it still wouldn't have been cramped. The view from the first floor living room is fantastic to take in while eating breakfast before hitting the slopes; the upper living room view is even more impressive. We felt that the condo was well equipped in every way. The dishwasher was particularly handy for us, since we cooked almost all of our meals during our stay. And being able to wash our socks and Under Armour to start off a new day fresh was a big plus. But the biggest bonus of this place was the ski locker at Creekside. Not having to haul all of our skis, snowboards, and boots back and forth everyday made the experience smoother and more enjoyable. (Read: more time spent eating nachos and drinking beer!) The sauna was the perfect place to relax sore muscles after a harsh day. The shared hottub (although we'd been wary at first) was very comfortable, AND proved to be a great place to meet some cool people and get restaurant suggestions for the evening (Citta's, in the village. Excellent salmon burger).
Lastly, the owners were very helpful throughout the entire rental process, and that definitely set the bar above our previous VRBO experiences. For the price, location, and overall experience, our group will be hard pressed to find a better deal for next year's trip.
