Perfect for all stays

We traveled from frozen MN to sunny AZ to celebrate my brother’s January birthday. The layout and amenities were exactly what we needed. There were so many great features to praise including the quiet office space, large bedrooms/shared spaces, the pool table, ample dishes for cooking a group meal, throw blankets for chillier nights, and so much more. Let’s not forget the pool, it was the cleanest I’ve ever seen!! (we couldn’t use because of the cold)Bring your family, friends, and kids. This location is a top pick!

The house was beautiful and very accommodating. The only downside was that the pool was very dirty at the beginning because they had just had a massive storm a couple days earlier but when I reached out to them, they sent someone the next day. We were able to enjoy the pool for one day of our two night stay. The management company was quick to respond to any questions and the check in and check out process was super easy. I would definitely stay here again.

Pleasant Experience

Overall we loved our time here. The check in process was quite simple. The house was beautiful and felt more like home than a vacation rental. Although we did not meet or communicate with the owner, the management company was awesome. They made everything from checking in early to staying another day a breeze. Yes, we loved it that much we extended another day with just a simple text message. There were a few things around the house that needed some touch ups but could easily be overlooked. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy home.

Wedding Stay January 2024

Our family was very pleased with our stay. The only disappointment was the lack of the outdoor play structure that was pictured and advertised on the web site. Instead of the play structure there was a simple swing set. One of the reasons that we booked this location was because of the play structure as we have an autistic grandchild and this structure would have been helpful for her. It was an added bonus that the pool had a protective enclosure which was not pictured on the web site and so that was an added bonus! The residence was clean and comfortable and we would stay again. It would have been nice to have the pool heated as it was chilly and rainy.

We will return!

The house was beautiful and clean! When we walked in it looked exactly like the pictures and we felt immediately at home!! The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of room for the party that we had staying there. Communication with the homeowner was amazing and extremely efficient! I noticed there were two things that were a little misconstrued and they came out fixed them and it was no problems! I really liked the level of dishes and stuff in the kitchen, it made making meals easy. Of course our favorite thing was the pool, and the backyard had plenty of space for all of us to be comfortable even in the hot sun! The best thing for us was the location, as it was only 3 mi from the rest of the family that we were visiting there. I hope that in the future will be able to rent this home again!

The Not So Golden Cactus

The place was decent. Plenty of space and the beds were comfortable. Good size backyard. We had a group of three adults staying for a six day work week. There were issues during our stay. Upon arrival the pool was green and unusable. We called the mgmt office and someone shortly thereafter arrived to clean it. Through the stay the water never looked clear or clean enough to use even after the cleaning. It was murky. In comparison the neighbors pool that was crystal clear blue. Halfway through the trip the gas was shutoff because of an unpaid balance. We couldn't use the gas stove for meals as we had planned and purchased food for and there was no hot water. Called the property mgmt and they said it would be taken care of the next day but that didn't happen. Two days after the gas was disconnected it was turned back on. This was the afternoon before our checkout. When the gas company turned the gas back on they couldn't get the water heater on because of a broken part on the water heater. The mgmt company sent a plumber who said a part was broken and he didn't have the parts to fix. So we didn't have hot water for the remainder of our trip. Through all the issues the mgmt company was timely to returning our calls. At the moment, we have a message left with them about a compensation adjustment for the inconveniences. This was something they said would occur when the gas incident happened. This was my first VRBO experience.

Amazing house!

Our entire family enjoyed our 5 day stay in this home. The house was decorated very nicely, beds were comfortable, kitchen was fully equipped and the pool and game room were lots of fun. We didn’t realize there would be a safety gate around the pool but were happy it was there as our 2 yr old grandson was obsessed with the pool. We have stayed at many houses in AZ and this house exceeded our expectations and is by far one of the better homes we’ve stayed at. Definitely recommend!

Booked this house for the location to everything. Didn't need to rent a car. Ubers were cheap. Store is a mile away. We seriously walked a few times. Pool is perfect! Who ever gets the house after us has a full tank for the gas grill lol you're welcome. Seriously. Loved this house and will book it again next time we are in Phoenix.
