Cozy stay with amazing Lake access

The condo was as expected. It worked for our needs as a family of 4. The location was prefect as it was close enough to the village and everything we did while staying in big bear. Walking access to the lake was amazing for morning and evening strolls and very convenient for kids to fish.

Warm and cozy cabin

This cabin was more ont he modern side, but did not dissapoint. All amenities matched the online description. I appreciate the carpet becasue from past canin experiences, hardwood floors make the cabin cold so the carpet was good to preserve the warmth. The pool and hot tub were both clean. The place was clean and stocked up on basics, for arriving and leaving. Thank you far having us!

This condo was gorgeous! It's perfect for a couple and just as great if you have kids! Everything was clean, there is a big tv in the living room and one in each bedroom. The fireplace ads a romantic touch and the balcony is great to barbeque or just chill on. The view on the balcony is of the pool and Jacuzzi which are both clean and a nice treat. Boulder bay is walking distance for fishing or a picnic. The location is perfect! I called the host, (Mario), the day we arrived. Very nice guy as is his wife! They set us up well! We will return here but in the downstairs condo. We loved our stay here! Thank you Mario for providing this as a rental!!

This condo was so cozy & comfortable!!

Me, my husband and our teenage daughter loves everything about this condo. From the coziness, to the separate bedrooms for privacy along with the family room for family time. This was our first time staying in the mountains and the location was just perfect. Look no further, this condo was a home away from home! And Mario responded to our questions and concerns at such a timely fashion.

Big Bear weekend getaway

This was a great condo. It is an older unit, but very, very clean. Everything worked well. It was the perfect size for our family of four. We loved the decor. The property manager did a fabulous job and was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend taking advantage of the 15% discount at Get Boards for renting kayaks. The location of the condo was perfect and walking distance to great food at the Blanca and Pierre‘s. The entire condo complex was very quiet and we never even heard any of the neighbors. Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay, and we would definitely recommend it to anybody. It was also very affordable!

Spontaneous Spring Break getaway

It was a spontaneous getaway and we spotted this lovely condo. Spaces enough for 4 of us, 2 adults and 2 preteens. The living room and kitchen and dining table was cozy. Bonus, my son and husband love the mini Galaga machine. After a long day of skiing, it’s father and son bonding time. My daughter and I just love playing cards and puzzles. Since it was spontaneous, I never receive an email to confirm my booking from the owner, maybe due bad internet connection. However, VRBO assistant quickly connected us and everything went smoothly right before check in. Communication through VRBO apps messages was a lot quicker to receive. Owner is super nice and friendly. We’ll return again soon. ❤️

No hospitality

I'm hesitant to give a review as it definitely wouldn't be a 5-star review. In the hospitality business, stars have to do with the HOSPITALITY one feels when they visit their accommodation. You not only didn't make us feel "special" as your guests, you made us feel a burden to you...no propane, no coffee filters, no way to get the fire started, the sliding doors also didn't work so the place was drafty, so the forced air heater set at 69 degrees was constantly running... the second bedroom was hot at night while the living room was cold. You are not a good provider of hospitality as it seems you are mainly thinking of yourself... and your profits...sorry I'd never stay here again.

The location of the property was great. Giving us access to Boulder Bay, which is just walking distance around the corner. The unit was clean, however when we came in the strong odor of the cleaning product was bad. We ended up having to open up the windows to air it out. We also had difficulty with the smoke alarm going off repeatedly when we had the oven on. The unit is fine, it is clean and has all the basics, but they don’t really provide the extras like tissue boxes, condiments, or beverages/coffee. Be aware that they do not provide wood for the fireplace so you need to bring your own. There were basic seasonings available, which was nice, but wished I would’ve known ahead of time so I didn’t have to pack my own. Also, they don’t supply coffee filters, so you need to be aware to bring your own/round filters not cone shaped. They had a good supply of pots, pans, bowls, and cutting boards along with really good cutting knives. Barbecue was great. The set up is ideal for a family with young kids. We were two adult couples so the bed and the second bedroom was not suitable for two adults on the lower bunk. Since the mattress is not firm enough to sustain that kind of weight comfortably. But it would be fine for kids and they would probably love the bunk beds. The Jacuzzi is super close to the unit, which was wonderful. The pool isn’t heated, but made for a fun little polar plunge to cool off after soaking in the Jacuzzi for a while. Overall, it was a really nice stay

Boulder Bay - great stay!

Communication with the property manager is excellent; he's very responsive. The condo is a little outdated, but very clean and a nice place to stay. It was perfect for myself, my husband, and our 2 teenage boys. Never having been to Big Bear before, we weren't sure how this location would be. If you're ok with needing to drive to everywhere you want to go, it's fine. I can see how it might be problematic when the town is really busy because there's only one main road to get through town and Boulder Bay is at the far end, so if traffic backs up, it could take a while to get where you want to go. It wasn't a problem during our stay, but just a warning if you're going when it might be more crowded. Overall, a 5-star rating from us!
