Great neighborhood, large house, convenient commute to slopes

Upscale neighborhood with pride of ownership homes in the Castle Glen Estates. We loved short commute to groceries and slopes and the fact that there is plenty of room inside. The owner /pm co can do a better job with stocking the kitchen with spices/coffee and most importantly some dishwasher detergent (we got one cube for 3 day stay) but it’s relatively small drawback compare to the amazing view, convenient location and spacious quarters.

Liked: Location
Disliked: Check-in

Location was great, home was nice furnishings and communication with property managers not so great.

Our stay started off on a poor note. The communication with the property manager was poor. Seemed to be automated messages not a human. They wanted us to stop in the office instead of going right to the location to double check my IID. This was strange since I have booked with VRBO numerous r times but they insisted it was “policy”. The location is Greta but furniture is old and outdated. Couch was dirty, beds were hard, sheets and blankets old and uncomfortable. They also do not have trash receptacles on site and you need to remove your own trash so be ware of that.

Thank you, Richard, for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the great location and found the home nice. We apologize for the challenges you experienced with communication and the check-in process. While our policy does require stopping by the office for certain verifications, we understand it may have felt inconvenient, and we’ll look into improving this process. We appreciate your comments regarding the furnishings and have shared your concerns about the furniture and linens with our team for review. As for trash removal, it’s a city ordinance requiring guests to dispose of trash off-site, and we aim to communicate this clearly to avoid surprises. We value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more seamless and comfortable experience in the future.

The property was well maintained and beautiful . Most amazing view

Very spacious the pics don't do it's justice . The mattereses were very firm and hard to sleep on. The place is well kept and maintained minus a few flaws . Spider webs on the ceiling but nothing major and outside some of the light bulbs were out . I had to go purchase bulbs myself because I couldn't BBQ in the dark. I wish the garage was opened and available but it was locked per the owners request we had a hard time unloading everything in the snow specially with 3 little kids . They had stocked up the house well silverware pots and pans etc . The only reason I gave it a 4 star was for the price I paid I expected more than just a spacious home with a good view . Some technological upgrades are missing . But strong wifi . But practically no backyard to play . Also the driveway was not shoveled and cleared after a major snow storm

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar, 2020
Wow! Thank you for writing such an amazing 5 Star review. Sounds like you had a great time in Big Bear and really enjoyed the property. Now you have experienced Summer in Big Bear - we should try Winter next! Playing in the Snow and then warming up to a cup of cocoa by a glowing fire in the fireplace on a Holiday or Winter night is hard to beat. We would be honored to have you and yours back again very soon.
