About this property

Fantastic mountain views from this cozy home in sunny West Vail. The property is conveniently located and is easily accessible to all of the attractions in Vail, Beaver Creek & Arrowhead.

1 block to Town of Vail bus stop (free). Leave your car behind & save by not having to pay for daily parking in the Village or Lionshead. Bus comes every 15 minutes.

Ideal for families. If some of your group wants to stay out longer/go home early it’s no problem b/c the front door can be accessed using the keypad/lock. As a guest you can come and go as you want, simply by catching the bus. You don't have to travel with your entire group together.

Your lodging is 3 blocks to a nice, clean strip mall. There are restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, fast food, hardware & sporting goods stores. A Wal-Mart Super Store & Home Depot are just 2 exits West on I-70. This is especially important for families who need to buy groceries or maybe a new parka for a child who has outgrown their old one.

Vail getaway

We had an excellent experience at this property. We had a little hiccup accessing the new lock but the owner was very responsive and all was fine. Very clean and close to a bus stop in a calm neighborhood. The unit has everything that you would need and we would highly recommend it.

We had a very nice stay at this property. The location is beautiful, and it was very convenient to the bus stop, the grocery store, and a neighborhood park. The living areas were very comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and good wifi. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive. The only negative was that since this is a downstairs unit, we could hear the upstairs resident(s) throughout the night. They weren't disruptive, but whenever they would walk around or run any water, we could clearly hear it through the ceiling. We should have brought a white noise machine to help the lighter sleepers in our group. Overall though, I would definitely recommend this place!

Fantastic experience and great customer service!

Awesome spot if you're staying for a long weekend with a group of 5 to 7 people. The property is older, but well kept and contributes to the charm. Kitchen is a little small (but decently stocked with utensils) if you plan to stay for over a week and do your own cooking. Above all else, Bill and Katie were fantastic on the customer support side. We had trouble getting through the door code and they dropped everything to help create a solution. Very pleasant to work with and very helpful. The property maintenance tech, Nathan, was also very friendly and offered help and support at any time. Sincerely, Conor

First time staying on that side of the interstate

We have been coming to Vail for years but had never stayed on this side of the interstate. At first I wasn't too sure if I was going to like it but we had a great visit. Nice place to walk and there is a hiking trail close by the home. The home is dated but clean. Clean means a lot to me. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. A couple additions that might help with convenience would be to add surge protectors/additional outlets by each side of the beds plus next to the kitchen table and couch. If you plug in your phone and computer then you had to unplug the lamp. A couple of us were working while we were visiting and needed the additional charging stations. The washer and dryer worked great but to turn on the water was a little unusual so instructions would be helpful. Perhaps a little mowing or yard clean up would go a long way in the presentation of the home. We would stay at this property again.

Great location. Great space. Highly recommend. I booked this site through Orbitz. Or a bit somehow links up with VRBO. Neither Orbitz nor VRBO sent to me information on how to get into the apartment. It took me about 10 or 15 minutes to get in touch with the owner directly who was fantastic, but Orbitz and VRBO failed

West Vail Xmas

The condo was clean and convenient to Vail and Beaver Creek and only a 40 minute drive to Keystone and Breckenridge. The owner was proactive in reaching out to see if we needed anything or had any issues. The checkin process was also very easy as well. Overall, it was a very positive experience and comfortable vacation. We would recommend the condo to family or friends if they planned a visit to the area.
