I found the Wyndham properties perfectly fine and yes, bookable online. But that Vacasa was one where we kept pinching ourselves that it was real. But do note that every Vacasa is different, you have to read very carefully to make sure it’s what you want. Also, I did have to pay $10 parking fee at the Vacasa, but I was happy to pay it, esp since it included bike rental (which was a huge points winner for my youngest).
Nice looking Vacasa in your link. Sadly, it looks like its rate has risen since you were there as now it routinely goes for ~$550-600 all-in per night (at least for all the dates that I checked), which is 10-20% higher than what Wyndham will let us get away with.
