Perfect house for entertainment

This is the 2nd time Ive rented this property. Love the pool table and the pool and jacuzzi plus the big yard. This house has everything you need. The neighborhood is quiet and wonderful and there are shopping centers close by even walking distance. Great restaurants as well. Vacasa does a great job managing the home and the house is made super clean and organized.

Team Bonding

My team and I stayed here while attending a conference. It was perfect for team bonding - morning walks to Starbucks, breakfast in the backyard, walk to dinner, etc. Accessible location, large backyard, sleeps 6, entertainment kitchen and open concept. This was our second time staying in this house and we will be back next year!

Amazing Home

We celebrated Thanksgiving at this house and we loved it. The house is perfect and it has everything to make you feel like home. From the kitchen to the backyard, it has everything to make your stay a little more enjoyable. The location is perfect, close to every store you need for a quick purchase and about a 5 min drive to El Paseo Dr. (Highend stores). We'll definitely be coming back.

Beautiful Tree in the Backyard

Other than a very beautiful tree in the backyard, the property is in disrepair and is quite tired. A small amount of maintenance and upkeep might make it worth the money we spent, but with a Hot Tub that has no jets and is losing tiles all over, a kitchen with old appliances, and a Master with no Tub, we were quite disappointed. Probably best for a group of men having a Batchelor Party.

Nice spot!

Great house with plenty of sleeping options, and pretty dog friendly. Some of the beds were pretty rough in terms of comfort, but my spouse and I enjoyed the master. The house is very large for just two people, but it was nice to have a pool to ourselves. The pool is great - a little rough on the toes due to scratchy surfacing but it was clean enough and the mountain shades it well in the evenings. Probably the biggest complaint was not being able to lower the house temperature below 73 degrees, especially at night, and that the living room furniture wasn't very comfortable.

Great House and Neighborhood

We enjoyed our stay very much, We had communication problem with the rental management. They don't seem to know the property very well and the way the property was listed. At one time we waited for an hour while we were put on hold. We had to hang up the phone because of the long wait. We actually prefer to communicate with the host or property owner.

Refreshing pool. Wonderful shaded backyard. Peaceful.

We stayed in this house with 3 kids and a small dog. Everyone had such a fun and relaxing weekend. My kids are home bodies so lounging around the pool was all they wanted to do. They also enjoyed the tire swing and hammock. The dog had a yard to run around - bonus. We all enjoyed the games and pool table. Kitchen had everything we needed. New fridge. Double oven made baking 2 pizzas at once a breeze. Quiet neighborhood. My favorite part was waking up to the mountain and watching the birds swooping in and out of the small openings. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of bath towels, pool towels, soap and shampoo. There were large portable fans that we used on the first night. Once the AC got going, we were more than comfortable.

Great place with 1 major drawback

The house was clean and exactly like the pictures. The pool table and the pool outside were a big hit with my party. But we had 1 major drawback: the AC. The AC doesn’t reach any of the bedrooms except the master (it has its own AC) and my friends were boiling while trying to sleep at night. We made sure all the vents were open and cranked the AC up, but it barely made any difference. We had one couple leave early b/c they were so uncomfortable. We loved the house but the AC issue made it basically unusable.

Point happy

Vacasa has amazing service, easy to reach, clear communication and helpful staff. The house sits on a great lot but it is a shame that it is in such disrepair. It is not a fair offer especially for the high price point. Also the kitchen supplies are low quality. The pool gets heated quite nicely and makes for a nice place to hang out. Beds are very comfortable.

Comfortable, Versatile, and Quiet

My family enjoyed our stay at this home. Check in and check out we’re a breeze. The neighborhood was quiet and the neighbors were friendly. The home was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The kids enjoyed the pool and pool table, I enjoyed the large kitchen, and we all enjoyed taking walks and hiking in the area. The beds were comfortable. I definitely recommend this home for families.

Rest and relaxation

The house is conveniently located to numerous grocery stores, retail stores, and restaurants. The house is spacious and perfect for a family to spend time in the pool, playing pool, or watching a movie in the living room. The house is a little dated inside but it’s clean and comfy for the family.

Not as nice as it looks

The backyard is mostly dirt with some small patches of grass. The pool water is clean but murky with dust and dirt. There are 2 AC units with 2 controls, you need figure out which is which. Both get set to 74 f in the middle of the night. It’s a bummer to get up and reset them every night! Decent appliances, dishes, glasses, pans and pots. Lots of towels. WIFI is spotty. The pool table and cues are old and defective, but usable. The leaving room sectional sofa is very uncomfortable and almost unusable. The master bedroom shower is very big and nice, water pressure and temperature is great. You can find a few floats and balls for the pool in the garage. The pool guy walked on us unexpectedly without even knocking. In the little binder it says pool service on Tuesdays, but he showed up on Saturday morning. We had a lot of fun, I am sure you will too, just adjust your expectations.
