Amazing condo in Vail!
Susan‘s condo is an amazing location and it’s a great property for groups. There was plenty of room for all of our family and friends, and it was well laid out. This has been one of my favorite places to stay in Vail! We hope to be back.

A Wonderful Ski Chalet Experience!
My friends and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic ski chalet, and we can't recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the charm and comfort of this home away from home. The location of the chalet just next to a Vail bus stop is very convenient to get to the slopes without needing to use the car. The interior of the chalet was tastefully decorated and had a cozy yet modern feel. The living area was spacious and provided ample seating for everyone in our group. We especially loved the fireplace, which added a touch of warmth and ambiance during the evenings. The bedrooms were comfortable and well-appointed, ensuring a good night's sleep after an exhilarating day on the slopes. One of the highlights of our stay was the well-equipped kitchen. It had everything we needed to prepare our own meals, which was not only convenient but also allowed us to save some money. The dining area was perfect for enjoying meals together and sharing stories from our skiing adventures. Throughout our stay, the owner was incredibly attentive and responsive to our needs. Any questions or concerns we had were promptly addressed, making us feel well taken care of. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable ski vacation. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

Cozy Townhome with easy access to the slopes and essentials
We stayed here over spring break with several teenage boys. We enjoyed the easy access to the slopes in the morning and the hot tub/pool in the afternoon evenings. There was easy access to grocery shopping and quick bites as well as easy access to the shuttle lines to get around. We caught the tail end of a Colorado storm on the way out and the host was super thoughtful and gracious to make sure we made it out of the mountains safely. I would definite consider coming back again if we find our way back to Vail!

Perfect ski retreat
The location was perfect for skiing at Vail and at Beaver Creek. Free shuttles to both ski resorts right outside the door. Inside we had access to everything we needed! Beautiful location nestled in the mountains with a gurgling creek in the back yard and lots of snow! Hot tub was perfect after a day of skiing. We LOVED the fireplace too! Perfect place for a family vacation. Just the right amount of space for everyone in our family! Thank you!

Wonderful in every way!
I resist writing reviews because my expectations always seem too high and are rarely met - however in this case, I can honestly say this experience far exceeded my expectations in every way! The home is located ideally in West Vail - easy access to both Vail and Beaver. The inside the home is so inviting with a wonderful fireplace and absolutely gorgeous views of Gore Creek right out your living room sliders. The 3 level layout is ideal for families, the home is immaculate and incredibly well appointed with the highest quality furnishings, kitchen items and accessories throughout - including real down comforters and thick, plush bath towels :) The owners have stocked this home with everything you need, right down to supplying the Advil and hand warmers that you never have enough of! The added benefit of the shared hot tub and heated pool was a real treat! I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was... in every way.

Great place to stay in Vail
We had a great stay at this property. It was perfect for our group of 4 ladies. The place was very clean and comfortable. And it's located right next to a lovely creek which you look out onto. It's right next to the bus stop so easy to get to the village or to the ski lifts. Also we could get to Safeway to do shopping in a 5 minute drive. The heating is good with many different thermostats throughout the unit and there's a nice gas fireplace in the large lounge area. There's also a wonderful hot tub that's great after a day of skiing a short walk in the complex. I highly recommend this property!

Beautiful Condo; Great Location
The condo is immauclately clean and nicely decorated. They had all of the amenities for guests; video games, board games, fire place, videos and more. Communication with the owner was very easy and responsive. The property is close to ski lifts, grocery stores, and restaurants which are all on the bus route. Be sure you check the bus times on Google so that you don't have to wait too long at the bus stop which is very near the unit. The outdoor heated pool and indoor hottub was a great hit for the kids and adults.. We look forward to staying in this unit again.

Excellent property, excellent host!
My family and I visited Water’s Edge the week after Christmas and had the best stay! The host, Susan, was very attentive and friendly, giving excellent tips and pointers. When we arrived, the property exceeded our expectations. It was clean, well-stocked, and so spacious. The garage was great, as it kept our vehicle cleared off and we didn’t have to scrape ice or snow from it each day (Susan also provided windshield wiper fluid, which was so thoughtful because you really need it if you’re traveling on the interstate!)! The house has new carpet and cozy furnishings, and pretty much everything you need for a relaxing stay. Having a few pantry items was so helpful, so be sure to check in and look around before going to the store! We were pleasantly surprised by everything Susan had available to us. The location is good, and for ski guests, we highly recommend the shuttle to the Cascade lift. The Cascade lift is for “downloading” on the way off the mountain, as trails going back down were not open when we were there. After a long day of skiing, the pool and hot tub were a welcome treat! My kids really enjoyed swimming outside in the snow! Overall, we loved our stay at Water’s Edge and would love to return. Thank you so much, Susan!!

Roomy, clean, perfect location, and a great host
We stayed at Water's Edge during our annual ski trip in late January. Check in process was a breeze. We were shocked at how much room the condo had. There was even a neat little entertainment area upstairs between the bedrooms. Everything we needed on the trip was available in the condo. The host was extremely responsive and very thoughtful. The internet was a bit spotty, but a ski trip isn't the time to be hanging out on our phones anyways. As far as location, Water's Edge couldn't be beat. It was a 2 minute walk to the bus stop which takes you right into Vail village with multiple lift stops on the way. The nearest grocery store was a 5 minute drive away. Theres a creek running right through the backyard which was serene after a big snow. There was ample parking out front, a spot right in front of the garage, and plenty of storage in the garage for skis and equipment. We'll will ABSOLUTELY stay at Water's Edge next time we're in Vail if it is available.
