Cute Condo/ Terrible Communication
We were headed down to enjoy some music in Girdwood for the night. The place was very cute and clean. I didn’t receive check-in instructions. I tried several times contacting the host through the VRBO app. After arriving it was still unclear how to get in. I called the customer help line in the VRBO app and was connected to a representative of Vacasa. She was incredibly rude. We were eventually able to get into the property and enjoy our time. It is extremely frustrating that your are charged more then the room rate for a cleaning fee and you are expected to remove your trash and drive it to a dumpster off site. I was still never contacted by the host which has never happened to me before. I would still recommend staying here. I would just make sure to call them if you don’t receive instructions before driving down.

Nice studio with some fixable issues
The studio is in a nice location in the woods. The bed and couch are comfortable. The kitchen is decent. The local staff were good about quickly helping with a couple issues. However there are a bunch of things to note and that need to be improved for me to want to stay here again. There are no blinds whatsoever. This makes it impossible to sleep past the very early sunrise. Other reviews mentioned this problem years ago so it's clear this won't be fixed by the time you consider staying. The apartment could have been cleaner. There were hairs on the sheets and some stains on the counters. The street and driveway both receive minimal plowing and are going to be treacherous without 4wd in the winter. Also, it can be challenging to fit your car along with the other rental on the same property in the driveway. There was no frying pan in the kitchen. The wifi struggled in the evenings. The TV needs to be replaced, it's small and ancient. The call center staff from vacasa was not willing to check with the local staff for an early check in despite the property not being reserved the night before. The local staff was helpful in sending someone to plow one day, though.

Gem in Girdwood for the most part
I recently stayed at a Vacasa rental in Girdwood, Alaska, and I have mixed feelings about my experience. On the positive side, the rental offered great value for the price. The accommodations were comfortable, and it was a budget-friendly option for my trip to Alaska.
However, there were some drawbacks to this rental. One major issue was its location, which was quite far off the beaten path. This made it challenging to access nearby amenities, and limited transport options meant that getting around was a bit of a hassle.
Another drawback was the lack of blinds or curtains on the windows. This resulted in too much light pouring into the room, making it difficult to sleep, especially during the long summer nights in Alaska. Some blackout curtains or blinds would have made a significant difference in the overall comfort of the stay.
Additionally, a minor inconvenience was the absence of a keychain for the key provided. While this may seem like a small detail, it can make a difference in terms of convenience, especially when you're out exploring the beautiful surroundings of Girdwood.
In conclusion, the Vacasa rental in Girdwood, Alaska, offered good value for the price, but its remote location and lack of window coverings were notable drawbacks. Adding some transportation options and addressing the window issue would greatly improve the overall guest experience.

Great location needs curtains
Fantastic spot, it was perfect for the two of us. The only issue we had was the lack of curtains to block out the 24hr sunlight.

Didn't even stay the night
My husband is a huge Alabama fan and he was very upset when he realized the that a) the T.V. was so small and b) it did not have good enough reception to even watch his game. We put our shoes back on and left. So much for a romantic weekend getaway. If you or your husband are sports fans, this is not the room for you.
A wonderful location tucked away in Girdwood. Comfortable for 2 people with all of the amenities that you could need. Would highly recommend this stay to anyone wanting a comfortable place that is close to all of the fun near the resort.
Make sure you bring your own coffee and tea for supplies. There's a coffee maker and Keurig but no items for making. The bed is toward the end of it's life as there are definitely divots in the mattress where people have slept repeatedly. The couch was cozy and the extra blanket was good. Stayed warm for the night and the windows were awesome in the winter. The kitchen has lots of supplies to prep food if you bring it. Really enjoyed the shower and plenty of towels and washcloths. The road and driveway to the house were a little slippery in the winter and ended up sliding into an embankment needing to be pulled out by a Tow. Definitely good to have good winter tires and vehicle if reserving.
Nestled against the mountainside, the space was warm and cozy, with a gas-flame wood stove, comfortable bed. Only complaint - the photos on the listing didn’t do it justice - much more charming than we’d expected.

Awesome
Loved the space! And how cute everything was. The place had everything we needed for a nice stay in girdwood.
We really enjoyed our 4-day weekend in Girdwood—trail running by day and enjoying the pouring rain on the skylights by night. We did have a sunny afternoon/evening where we would have appreciated a couple of camp chairs to sit out in the sun in the driveway and enjoy a beverage, but other than that, the place was perfect. Bed is very comfortable, water pressure fantastic, and the place isn’t cluttered with the usual knickknacks one finds in many rentals.
Beautiful spot. Very clean and cozy. And close to the Alyeska day lodge. It was quiet and private. The driveway is narrow and steep but we just parked at the top. They did forget to give us toiletries and the office wasn’t open at 11:00 am on a Friday so that was the only bummer. But we’d stay again. We really enjoyed it. Great kitchen. Could use a frying pan for cooking eggs though.

Clean, private and cozy for two
We very much enjoyed our stay. This property has another rental (the larger house) but we found it to be quiet and private, in a neighborhood closer to town but nice and quiet. We didn't really use the kitchen but it has a lot of cooking utensils and would be a great place to cook a meal. Only suggestion for other visitors: bring your own coffee grounds and supplies for morning coffee, there is a coffee maker with built in filter.

This little condo above a garage is cozy! There are skylights and large windows in this efficiency apartment, and we woke up to rain on the metal roof, and it was heaven. This is a perfect getaway spot for a couple who are just down exploring Girdwood; everything you need. Highly recommend, and would stay here again.

Relaxing get-away at St. Moritz!
We loved the beautiful apartment and surrounding area. We enjoyed cooking in the fully stocked kitchen and we really appreciated the quiet privacy for a nice night in.
