Great condo close to downtown Helen

My wife and I went to Helen for Oktoberfest. This condo is located right on the river and a short 5-10 minute walk to downtown. The condo was clean and the bed was comfortable. Definitely recommend.

Perfect Getaway

This home was a last minute booking and turned out to be awesome and just what we needed. It was not overpriced like so many are these days it was affordable without being in a play of concern for safety. It could do with some updates in bathrooms but other than that it meet our needs. We were a family of 4 with the kids being 2 adults so the double beds in 2nd bedroom gave them some much needed catch up time! Air Conditioning was awesome it wasn’t stuck in 75/72 like some of the places we have stayed and we were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed for basic food needs. It had a regular coffee pot so could enjoy it when ready!! The outside space was a plus you could set and watch the tubers float down the Chattahoochee or even venture in the water itself. Location was so close we could actually walk to cool tubes/ big daddy’s/ dollar store/ putt putt golf and the Bodnese Restaurant this place for walking distance was one of the best features!! Definitely saving this location for future visits absolutely loved it!!!

Good home with some issues

We have stayed here in the past and had hoped to return again in the future. The location is perfect - right on the river and within walking distance of everything in town. Enough beds and bathrooms for a large family. Very clean and comfortable beds. Amazing water pressure (but not much hot water - so be quick in the shower!) However, our ac went out the 3rd night we were there and even through I contacted customer service multiple times, it was never fixed. Needless to say, we are not happy with our experience. I contacted customer service again once we returned home to see if they could make it right - I asked for a 1 night refund - and they have not responded to my request. So...the home is great, but the customer service really needs some work.

Nice place…

We stayed here for 4 nights. Everything was very clean. I’m 63, and would have liked to see handles in the showers and the toilets a bit taller. Otherwise, it was a nice stay.

Perfect Location - Clean and Well Stocked

The home was very conveniently located right along the stream so when we were in the home relaxing we had the added relaxation of the water rippling over the rocks to soothe away the cares of the day. For those able to walk a few block the home is close enough to walk comfortably to the shops and restaurants.

Nice weekend trip to Helen

The place was relatively easy to find, plenty of room, pretty updated especially compared to other units in the complex. We did not want for anything since it’s in the middle of everything. The beds were acceptable but not incredibly comfortable nor were the pillows but we all have our preferences. The Wi-Fi was problematic which was a bummer since our cell service was also very spotty. Those things were relatively minor as far as inconvenience. The unit is on the first floor and directly under the stairs, unfortunately there was a LOT of foot traffic and noise well into the night. The back deck was nice to look out at the River and the hundreds of tubers going by. All in all, not bad but we will probably look a little further out of town if we return for a little more peace and quiet.

Dirty

The condo first appearance looked and smelled good but then you notice the bed spread smelled of smoke,, the bathtub grout is filthy, the doors and Toilet paper holder had dust an inch deep, there were crumbs on the counter under the toaster, the dishwasher was full of dishes and water and the deck was dirty as can be! Some boards on outer deck were rotten, I would not rent there again!

Dirty, Run Down, Ant-Infested Property

We stayed 3 nights at this property and I spent a decent portion of the time cleaning. As soon as we arrived and saw the condition of the property I contacted the management company letting them know it was dirty and there were ants in the entryway, kitchen and bathrooms. They were responsive and messaged back and twice said they were sending any spray but nothing ever showed up and nothing ever happened. One of the ants but me and I ended up holding my 7 month old all night because I was afraid to but him in his portable crib overnight since it sits on the floor. The dirt and grime on the walls and floors was unbelievable - crumbs, stains, old pet urine on the baseboards, shoes, bottle caps and food all over the walls. No cleaning products were in the house except for a vacuum and filthy mop so we went and purchased some. We would have left but I was not able to confirm I would be reimbursed. The locks on the front door and on the sliding glass door were broken. The slider was also missing the security bar so overall it is not a secure environment. The showers were clean and so were the appliances. And the location on the river and in the heart of town is great as everything is in walking distance but I would not recommend staying there.

Ants

Floors were very dirty and there were ants everywhere. We had to keep all food in the refrigerator, even the chips. Ants were also very bad in the master bedroom. The condo itself was nice and the location was excellent.

Comfortable Stay

We enjoyed the accommodations; however, the two ladies complained about how noisy the two beds are. They squeak with every move. The headboard hits the wall when you move. That interrupts the sleep. The beds are right next to the doors, so we heard every person who stomped up and down the stairs and came in loud and drunk. The building is not sound proof to be right off the street. You can hear everything from cars to conversations in the front and the breezeway. That was horrible. We called to file a complaint around 1:30am or 2:00am. Our parking was secured. There was nowhere to park upon return from the Falls. The is no way to report someone not staying there that needs to be towed. The acccommodations were nice outside of there being no sound barrier and parking. We didn’t see the Wi-Fi detail in the email, so we were attempting to use the information left on the kitchen counter which was not correct. That is all that we have to report.
