What was even more impressive was the immediate care given to our needs when the home air conditioner failed. Vacasa, and especially the local representative named Amanda, was on top of the situation during the holidays and took care of the situation to our satisfaction. I will defintely stay here again based on the home, location and great customer service. ##### Aaron V. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Celia .. 4 Jan 2022 #### Great views Very nice townhouse. We loved the area with all the wildlife, dear, birds and even a whooping crane. Plenty of cookware but if you are planning on cooking you need to bring everything from your own salt and pepper and coffee. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company. ##### Celia .. ---
