RESORT AMENITIES *** please read carefully****:
Because this is a privately owned condo, the clubhouse cannot manage any aspect of your reservation. Additionally, clubhouse access is not automatically included. Guests may purchase aday passes directly at the front desk if they’d like to access the club amenities.
The Vail Racquet Club is a 20 acre resort property that features multiple rentable tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball hoops, a year-round heated pool, a family hot tub, two adult-only hot tubs, a fitness room, a yoga/pilates room, saunas, and steam rooms in each locker room, a gift/clothing shop, on-site massage therapy, and an on-site restaurant, Apres Cafe.
ENTRY TO THE CLUBHOUSE IS NOT INCLUDED WITH CONDO RENTAL! Guests may purchase a drop-in day pass at the front desk of the clubhouse if they wish to use the club amenities. Check with the Vail Racquet Club website for current entry rates.
The Aprés Cafe and the gift/clothing shop do not require a day pass to enter.
If you book a massage, it comes with complimentary day access to the club. We recommend you call the Vail Racquet Club ahead of your stay to secure your spot with the massage therapist if you plan on booking a massage. Their schedule fills quickly.
RECREATION:
We're 5 minutes from the center village at Vail, 15 minutes from Avon (Beaver Creek Resort), 15 minutes from Copper Mountain, about 35 minutes from Breckenridge and Keystone and Ski Cooper, 40 minutes from Arapahoe Basin, and 45 minutes from Loveland Ski Area. Both snow & non snow opportunities at the resorts abound!
Other winter activities such as ice fishing, XC/Nordic skiing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, sleigh rides, sledding, and more are readily available in the area via a quick google search.
THINGS TO NOTE:
-Please make sure you understand and agree with our cancellation policy prior to booking. We recommend purchasing a separate, "cancel for any reason" insurance policy for your trip to cover you if something unexpected happens.
-Colorado weather hazards are not unique events here and do not qualify for rate adjustments or refunds. Please plan accordingly and cover yourself with a personal policy that covers trip delay.
-We are a high-alpine environment. Snow, ice, and hazardous conditions can happen at any time (even in summer). While the property is well maintained and many of the paths are heated and/or shoveled, not all surfaces will be clear of snow and ice at all times. Caution must be used and guests assume the risks of staying in an alpine environment. We highly recommend you do NOT wear ski boots when climbing the stairs to the unit.
-Our space is best sized for one couple/two people only. It will feel a bit tight with 3 or 4 people.
-While we do allow children, our space is NOT recommended for younger children. The condo is a top-floor walk-up. There is unprotected furniture with hard edges, balconies, sharp kitchen items, etc. that would be accessible to youngsters. We are NOT baby-proofed or toddler-proofed or curious child-proofed. Parents who bring children assume all responsibility for their children in the unit.
-Our condo is not recommended for those with mobility issues. It was built in the 70's so there is no elevator and some hallways are relatively narrow. The stairs to the unit are outside and while they are shielded from the majority of weather, occasionally you will find snow present.
HOUSE RULES:
-The Vail Racquet Club HOA does not allow pets for renters. We love animals but please do not attempt to pass a pet off as a service animal. This is fraud and illegal in Colorado and only serves to harm those who legitimately need service animals.
-Absolutely no smoking or vaping of any kind inside the unit. And no smoking/vaping near open windows or doors to the unit. Smoke odor embedded in the unit will be charged an additional clean-up fee or result in the forfeiture of your damage deposit.
-No tampering with smoke detectors, internet routers, wireless networks, thermostats, or locks. Our smoke detectors are hard-wired into a fire monitoring system. Tampering will result in a $300 fine from the HOA that will be passed on to you.
-All guests WILL be required to sign a rental agreement after booking and prior to their entry code being given out. This agreement reinforces the VRBO contract but also goes in-depth with information about the property, fulfills our HOA and town requirements of dispensing certain information to guests, and it helps us collect information to help us customize your stay such as how many towels you want, how many parking passes you need, etc.
-All guests must purchase either the VRBO-offered damage insurance or do a fully refundable damage deposit at the time of booking.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
We have a FIRM cancellation policy with VRBO. Please review and ensure you understand this before you book.
We HIGHLY advise you to purchase a "cancel for any reason" trip insurance policy with a third-party insurance carrier. (The VRBO platform damage insurance is NOT a "cancel for any reason" policy. It is only for damage to the unit.) A CFAR policy can offer coverage for illness, trip delay, weather impacts, and more and are generally very economical. We will happily supply your policymakers with any necessary documentation should you need to file a claim.
CHECK OUT INSTRUCTIONS:
We do not believe in a long list of things to do before you head home. We expect our guests to treat the condo reasonably and we simply ask that you:
1) Leave towels and linens where they are! No need to strip the beds or gather linens.
2) Make sure the faucets, stove, and oven are off and the fridge/freezer are closed.
3) Log out of entertainment apps.
4) If the trash is stinky, please take it out.
That's it! Of course, we welcome it if a guest starts the dishwasher, clears the fridge of their used food, or sweeps up however we do NOT require guests to do that.
We clean the condo personally and are very thorough in all the tasks. We ask that our place be treated with courtesy and respect.
