Great property, great place to stay! The pool hot tub area is nice. The property manager was able to accurately guide us through warming up the hot tub water from the pool equipment panels. Location is fantastic.
Great spot and spacious home. The ability to only heat the pool or the hot tub and not both at the same time was unfortunate but we enjoyed the pool. We would rent again.
A group of six of us came to celebrate three 50th birthdays. The house was perfect for our getaway. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms for each couple. Outdoor pool area is gorgeous and relaxing. My only suggestion would be a binder of directions on the various appliances, pool, hot tub, etc in the house though communication with our host was amazing!! Overall I would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful home!
The house exceeded expectations!! Kids had so much fun in the Hot tub, pool and with the mini golf! The park was so close too which was awesome and the neighborhood was calm!
Beautiful property, incredible backyard, and all the luxuries of 1 million home. Had an absolute great time. Communication was fantastic. I would definitely do this again.
Our family used this property for our spring break getaway and it was perfect. The house was clean and just as described looking just like the pics. Well stocked kitchen and ease of check-in and check-out made this place one I’d love to come back to. Though temps were moderate we took dips in the pool and definitely enjoyed the hot tub. Thanks for a great stay!
We loved our stay in Phoenix at this home . The home and pool were beautiful and we truly enjoyed our time there . The kids had so much fun playing in the pool and golfing. The beds were comfortable and the home was well stocked . My only feedback would be a more detailed home manual for instructions on the amenities of the home . We can’t wait to come back again !
Fantastic stay in a beautiful home and amazing backyard
Great communication with AvantStay. Seamless rental process and check in/out. Loved that you didn't need to spend the departure morning running around; stripping beds and cleaning. I hate when you pay a cleaning fee then have to clean the home before departure. The propery was beatiful and well cared for. The beds were comfortable and cotton linens were new and soft.
The location and the property were absolutely incredible. Exactly as advertised. We had a few questions about a couple of things while we were there, one of those being pool, heat, and a couple of other things. The property managers were very prompt at returning text walked us through it offered to come out, extremely helpful. All in all it was an amazing experience, and I will definitely be using them in the future.

Needs work
Spa didn't work, marijuana wrappers left outside, stained carpets, no light to cook with, leaking bathtub, duct tape holding ceiling light up, bad instructions from property management to heat spa. Ugh. If I owned this property I’d get a new management company.

House had good bones. However, Six burner stove of which two burners worked. Back yard could have used a good leaf blowing. Front door could be replaced, under cabinet lights did not work. Ice machine didn’t work—nothing worked in refrigerator door. Pool needed to be cleaned. Needed a hand rail between spa and pool for safety. Natural gas bbq needs work. New mattress needed in front bedroom. . For the price we paid, the place was a little tired. Two of the three heat lamps outside didn’t work.

Beautiful home and stay
This is a beautiful home and the backyard certainly did not disappoint. A few simple things could be done to make this a better experience. Most backyard lights did not work, either missing bulbs, broken or other. Would really add to the experience if they all worked. Overhead heaters only had 1 that worked. Outdoor propane heaters only 1 worked. Bar stools by counter all in need if repair. After arrival we were told you can either heat the pool or the hottub not both. Had to hit a couple buttons and then things were better. None of the things listed above really dampened our stay just would have been nice to get the full experience after dark.
This house was beautiful. The location for our family was perfect. The bedrooms were very comfortable, with wonderful white linens. The kitchen was nicely stocked, as were the bathrooms.
We left just some small suggestions for the owner, one being a window covering in the master bath. Overall, the house itself was awesome. The only reason I didn't give the property a straight 5 rating was the backyard. The pool, the spa, the golf green, the barbecue area, the outdoor seating, along with the privacy given from the beautiful greenery... was almost the perfect oasis. The pool, unfortunately remained more green than blue for our visit, even after the pool maintenance came by. But, in their defense, it was Spring, and very windy. The wind was blowing leaves, petals, and tree seeds into the pool for 3 days straight. The pool, spa, and decking are all in need on minor repair, as well as the lighting throughout that beautiful yard. OVERALL, it was fantastic, and we do hope to stay there again.
