We just checked out of this condo after spending our spring break vacation in Vail. I will start off by saying communication with Peter was top notch! He is extremely responsive and easy to work with. Check in was a breeze. The unit is overall very clean, has comfortable furniture and all of the items you need in a kitchen. There is a ton of storage space in the kitchen! We prepared all but 3 meals during our stay and had everything we needed. The unit was very well stocked with all necessary supplies - blow driers in each bathroom, shampoo, conditioner, etc. The location is perfect - equal distance between Vail Village and Lionshead… just about a 5-10 min walk to each. It was super easy to walk into town. My one recommendation if you’re going during ski season is to rent a locker at the base of Gondola One in Vail Village to avoid having to carry your gear through the village each day. It was a lifesaver! We used Vista Bahn Ski Storage.
The master bedroom is a comfortable size with a firm king mattress, although there is not a lot of storage. The second bedroom, while a nice size, has interesting sleeping arrangements. We have 2 teenagers, and only one could comfortably sleep in the 2nd bedroom, as the top bunk is pretty much unusable as it it so close to the ceiling. I would recommend it for smaller children, but not full-size adults. The trundle is another option, but requires rolling up the carpet in order to use.
The other thing to note is that while the bedrooms have double-paned glass, it was noisy in the morning with the unit backing onto Frontage Road. It could be due to the Vail bus route being altered due to COVID, but I'm not sure if that's normal.
Additionally, I think the listing needs to be amended to exclude pool and spa. While the property has privileges at Aria Athletic Club, it has been closed due to COVID since March 2020 and based on their Facebook page, they are closed permanently.
Overall, this is a very nice unit, probably better suited for 3 people or families with 2 small kids, centrally located and tastefully appointed. We had a great vacation!
