Pricey due to service fees but fine
Chalet #5 was generally clean, somewhat updated with good windows; furnishings were dated but in good repair and comfortable. The overall finishes were a hodgepodge, no cohesive decorating theme. Good lighting. Bathtub and hot tub were both clean. Nice dishwasher and clothes washer with adequate supplies of detergent. Comfortable bed in master. Areas of concern: Light bulb out in refrigerator. Upstairs bed was creaking which could be heard downstairs. Cobwebs in the master bedroom and above main level bathroom mirror. Sliding closet door in master off track and not movable. Bathroom sink and tub not draining well (water pools significantly before slowly draining). Pink mold on shower curtain. No hair dryers. The service fees were very high so short stay was rather expensive, more than staying at Alyeska Resort. Being able to bring a dog was the reason to choose this chalet so it fit our needs well.

Good place if you’re not interested in Hot Tub
Good location, cute neighborhood but no working Hot Tub. Initially Vacasa staff seemed confused about whether or not property even had a hot tub which was frustrating. I noticed the hot tub photo was removed from listing days before check in, but was never notified it didn’t work before I arrived . Local management confirmed it was not operating and I'm waiting for a partial refund .

Cute Hot Tub-Less Chalet
We arrived and were happy to see that the Chalet was as it appeared in the listing A little smaller than expected but quant. We were very disappointed at the condition of the deck covered in leaves and debris and broken tree limbs that had not been cleared from the deck We were excited to use the hot tub as this was a major selling point for us But unfortunately it didn't work the water was ice cold and the fuse box for the hot tub kept tripping when we tried it so we decided it wasn't safe I called VRBO customer service and they said someone would get back to me within the hour Someone called the next morning and apologized for the inconvenience and that someone would be out the following day to fix it I explained that we were checking out the next day He again apologized and offered a refund of $150.00 and let us have a late check out at noon It wasn't the money that mattered honestly When you rent a VRBO with the expectation of having a hot tub and it doesn't work its frustrating You can't check in until 4pm because there is someone there cleaning Wouldn't they check the cleanliness of the hot tub and be sure its working? It was very disappointing Also even though they said we can check out at noon instead of 10am the cleaning guy was knocking at our door at 10am wondering why we were not ready to leave so obviously No communication I'll rent somewhere else next time

Hot tub wasn’t working & I wasn’t notified.
I booked this location a few weeks back specifically because it had a hot tub listed. Upon arriving, the hot tub wasn’t on, wouldn’t turn on, and a Vacasa rep let me know the owners recently took it down from amenities meaning something likely happened. Unfortunately, that’s the only reason I picked this location. It’s cute and was well put together but I simply would have picked a different location had I know or they notified me that it was down. No email, not anything. I would’ve booked a different location had I known. Disappointing to say the least. Working to try to get some sort of reimbursement so I’m holding out hope for some sort of compensation.

Overall great, hot tub didn’t work
Overall we loved our stay and the place was a great space, great location. However the hot tub didn’t work when we got there. It was the main reason we chose this rental over others. We reached out to management and they weren’t able to get someone out to fix it until the next day however no one ever came to fix the issue. Management was quick to respond but not very helpful. Disappointed about the hot tub and spending the extra money for this amenity but otherwise the place was great.

False advertising
The place does not look like the pictures at all. It is not well maintained at all. The dishes and the oven were dirty. The property manager was clearly aware that cleanliness was an issue for this cabin as a recent comment had mentioned it. Given this, they could have sent someone to check before our arrival, they did not. The hot tub was not working. We informed the property manager upon our arrival, they told us they would take care of it, they never did. We asked for a partial refund. It’s been one week. They keep saying they will take care of it. Yeah, sure… Needless to say, I do not recommend to rent this place. And I will not rent any property managed by Vacasa in the future.

This property badly needs to be up dated, new paint and carpeting would help a lot. The bathroom sink upstairs needs to be replaced as it has many worn spots and chips. Small amenities are missing such as a dust pan to go with the broom and a waste basket in the upstairs bed room. Watch out for the extra "service" fee.However, the location can't be beat and is very close to the resort.

Quiet Honeymoon Getaway!
My husband and I enjoyed our short stay for our honeymoon! Lots of snow and beautiful scenery, super close to all of Girdwood / Alyeska amenities. Comfy beds and most things you need in the kitchen. A Keurig and maybe a few other more commonly used items (we left cooking spray for others) would be helpful, if you plan to cook I would recommend checking the cupboard before you go shopping or bring all you'll need. Beware there isn't a lot of hot water so you may need to space out showers. Extra blankets in the livingroom would be another great perk. We used an extra blanket from the closet, but hate to dirty a larger linen just to cozy up on the couch. Overall we loved the place, and it was plenty roomy for a family. Beautiful views and available hot tub to use! Hoping we can visit here again!

Nice home and clean. Few concerns. Hot tub is in full view of all the neighbors so was not used. There are no window coverings in living room so we're in a fish bowl surrounded by neighbors when it's dark. Recliners sound like they'll break as soon as you recline. Shower handle comes completely off so you have to balance it back on to turn water on & to off.

Great location
The cabin was clean and had plenty of room for our family if 4 to spread out. Appliances were new, property was clean, and the hot tub was nice. You are close to other cabins, however the surrounding trees and shrubs make it seem more secluded. The cabin is close to stores and restaurants, the scenery was beautiful. The only reason I am not leaving a 5 star review is the bed in the master bedroom. It squeaked every time I moved, the mattress was not very comfortable, and the pillows were flat. Taking that into consideration, I would still give this rental a 4.8.

Horrible!
This home is in horrible condition with worn carpets and linens, the hot tub looks into a parking lot with no privacy and the living room has no curtains so also no privacy. We could not stay in the home and are still awaiting a confirmation for our refund from Vacasa who has been very non-responsive. Steer clear of this one and look for a home that has a responsive on site property manager. Very disappointing to say the least.

This Girdwood getaway is not with the cost
Four days before arrival I was contacted and told the hot tub doesn't work. I was told we could be relocated or they would refund $100 per night, if we elected to stay. I asked what my relocation options were, and was told they would contact me with relocation options, and then I didn't hear anything else, despite repeated calls to find out our options. When I was finally given one relocation option, I told them we would stay where we are and take the $100 per night refund. At that time, I was told the person who offered the $100 per night refund didn't have the authority to offer a $100 per night refund, and they would only give me a $50 per night refund. I was also told the hot tub would be repaired on 26Oct, two days before our departure, but no one ever came to fix it. The condo has not been updated since the 70s. There is a Jacuzzi tub, which was the reason we elected to stay rather than be relocated, but there wasn't even enough hot water for two showers, let alone to fill up the tub. There was no extra toilet paper, so we had to get the toilet paper from the half-bath upstairs. Speaking of upstairs, there is a nail or something sharp protruding from the second stair from the top. There were disposable cups in the cabinet, and some of them had names written on them, and should have been thrown away. The smoke detector beeped constantly, and the battery needs to be replaced. The batteries also need to be replaced in the remote control. The cover below the oven won't stay on, and the refrigerator makes a very loud banging noise, and sounds like it is on it's last leg. In short, pick another place, this one is not worth the cost. Homeowner, you should pick another property management company, Vacasa did a very poor job of representing you.
