The condo is in a great location! It was so easy to walk to all of the nearby attractions. It was very clean at check-in. It was very cold during our stay and the heat seemed to struggle a bit. However, the fire place was great for both ambience and warmth. It might be helpful to have runners or rugs for the colder months. The property manager and local team were fantastic in their response when the cold temps caused issues with pipes. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and shopping. The unit was in a high foot traffic area close to stairs and entrance causing too much noise at night. Overall good value for cost.

This is a great house for two parent couples and small children. Two full BRs with roll out. Three full baths!!! Awesome!!

The only thing I would suggest would be to get a tall barstool table for outside and tall chairs, so you can enjoy the view. We cannot enjoy the view because of the balcony.

Location was perfect (walking distance to everything). Clean and pretty much well maintained. Never found the dumpster to throw away our trash when we left. Would have been nice to have a working washer & dryer but not a deal breaker.

Location. The 2 BR was a little dated but being in Helen knowing its an older town, our expectations were definitely exceeded. We even left something behind and Vacasa was super attentive and shipped our item out promptly. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Our stay was perfect it was off the river and in the heart of Helen. Back patio you can watch the river and out the front door you can walk to all the restaurants and stores.

The floors where dirty and there was no cleaning products ,no broom no mop, the floor had a greasy sheen on it. The dishwasher would not close to start . The dryer doesn’t work so don’t wash anything because you will be looking for somewhere to dry your stuff . No batteries in any remote so you can’t watch tv . Good thing helen is a very entertaining town other wise you would be spending more money to have the luxury to watch tv. But after all that said the location is great close to everything

Location is great. It's nice having a bathroom per bed/room. The decks overlooking the water were nice. The dryer does not dry well - we spent hours and multiple cycles drying a set of sheets. Our party was broken up into two units, and the sofa mattress in the other unit was very thin. We did not use the sofa mattress in #402, but you may want to go ahead and bring an air mattress just in case. I had a horrible experience with Vacasa trying to get into this unit. It took hours, and I did not receive notification once it was fixed by the "on-site" staff (whom I never saw or heard from).

Without listing every detail that was wrong with this place, I will just say I wish the pictures I took were posted. Never would have booked! I’ve been told repeatedly that the local property manager would contact us. As I now sit at home, that contact is non existent. A deep cleaning and some very unsightly repairs need to be performed. Never been so disappointed with a rental in my life! Never again for us!!!

Great place to stay in Helen. It is within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, and activities.
Property was clean and well furnished. They provided everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again.

The place was very dusty. Especially on top of curtains/rods, baseboards and behind appliances. My family has allergies and I ended up with a sinus infection. No reserved parking spots so the front ones were full when we arrived. Also, outdated appliances. I think a hotel stay would be cleaner and cheaper.

Place is conveniently located by a great restaurant and shops. Place was clean and had large rooms. People in Helen Ga are very nice.

Location: Perfect for walking around the town, never needed our vehicle. The river is right outside, but not so easily accessible. (Listing doesn't say it will.) Everyone obeyed the quiet hours.
Condition: The condo was clean. The floors need work and finishing touches needed on bathrooms (especially the king bedroom shower ceiling). Queen bed is uncomfortable, but seems like the foam was under the mattress. (Weird set-up switch?)
Cleaniless: It was clean, but there are no cleaning supplies such as a broom. We spent a lot of time in the river and there were not nearly enough rugs to catch the riverbed we tracked back up easily.
Caution: the dryer is missing the lint trap which is a fire Hazzard and there is a sharp piece of metal that ripped a few of our items.
Note: We arrived and there was a small mountain of trash right outside the door. This was awful! I contacted customer service and it was removed in three trips the next day.
We would use this location again.
[If stairs, steps, something were added to walk down into the river would be perfect.]

We really enjoyed our stay. It’s showing some age but overall it was what we needed.
Ceiling fan and TV in king bedroom need replaced. Those are minor things though.
We loved the location and walked everywhere we went. We were able to play in the river and the playground next door. We would certainly stay here again next Helen trip.

Once we got there the water was off due to the city changing out the meters. After they fixed the issue within an hour of checking in we were set and enjoyed the time there. Definitely worth a trip.
