Date of visit: Mid-January 2005 for a week.
Vantage Point is an older property in Lionshead
village. The location is great for walking to
the Lionshead Gondola, but the complex is almost
next to I-70, which can be loud.
We had a 2-bedroom, 2 bath unit that was very
spacious and functional. But the unit AND the
property in general needed some improvements and
upkeep. Lots of peeling paint, worn handrails,
walls, trim, etc. It just looked "ratty" all
over! We now know why it's the cheapest condo
for rent that's "walk to lifts". Lionshead
Village itself is embarking on a major
renovation and "rebuilding" of some of the
properties. I wish Vantage Point was included
in the plans!
Our unit was on the 1st floor up from the
underground garage, so our view facing East was
of the "snow mound" from the Lionshead parking
structure. Not too pretty......but I'm sure
that the higher-up units had much better views.
Outside pool was closed for the winter, but the
2 outdoor hot-tubs were always crowded after a
day on the slopes. Yessssssssssssss....
Our assigned ski locker in the garage was filled
with fishing equipment, so we could not use it
for our skis.
Our rental unit only had a VCR, so despite
bringing our own DVD's from home, we had to run
to the (close by) Blockbuster for VHS movie
rentals.
We wouldn't mind staying here again because it's
cheap, but most folks would be better off
spending a little extra $$$ to get a nicer place
in Lionshead or Vail Village.
The Vail Village shuttle was almost right
outside the complex--very convenient to get into
Vail Village for dinner, shopping, etc. The
shuttle to Beaver Creek is on the other side of
Lionshead, but for $5, it was worth it not to
drive over and fight the BC parking lots (and
add'l parking fees!).
