Thank you Sophie and Michael for letting us stay at your beautiful home, we had a wonderful time. It was so nice to come back to your place after a day of baseball or shopping. The kids loved the swimming pool, the pool table and the library. My husband and I loved the comfortable beds and how wonderfully decorated your house is. We would highly recommend staying here during your time in Arizona and look forward to coming back again soon.

Owner response:We are so glad that you had a great time in our vacation home. We like to think everyone can be as comfortable as are when they are there. You are very welcome to come back again. Thanks.

Amazing Property

This property was amazing! We enjoyed our stay and felt right at home in this house. The house was in pristine condition, very clean and well maintained. The furnishings were beautiful and the kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed cooking dinner most nights and eating outside in the beautiful backyard by the pool. The location was perfect and close to everything we needed. It seemed like where ever we needed to go, it only took a few minutes. The beds were so comfortable and the bedroom decor was so well thought out and welcoming. We didn't want to leave! Thank you so much Sophie and Michael for sharing your property with us.

Owner response:Thank so much for taking the time to write a review. We are glad you had such a great stay in our vacation home. We have tried to make it as comfortable and relaxing as we can. We hope you will think of using us the next time you are in the area.

Relaxing Oasis

We stayed at this home away from home in May 2010. The weather was fantastic. We did a bit of golfing. My wife and I vacationed here with another couple. For all of us, this was our 1st time in Phoenix (Chandler). This neighbourhood has everything one needs. From shopping, restaurants to parks it’s all there. This neighbourhood is quiet and little car traffic so it made it quite enjoyable for walks. From the surroundings to the house we immediately felt a home here. This house is immaculate, clean and well organized. The owner’s have thought of every detail. The beds are very comfortable. The decor is tasteful and up to date. Our oasis was the pool. You got to have a pool if you are in Phoenix. It was difficult leaving this gem. We look forward to going back. We had a wonderful time. Highly recommend it.

Owner response:I appreciate the wonderful comments and am so glad people feel comfortable in our home away from home. The area is an oasis in itself. Thanks again for your review.

Paradise in Chandler

We stayed here for 10 days with another couple and it was even nicer than we expected. It is decorated beautifully with attention to detail, immaculate yet extemely inviting and very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you require for cooking and entertaining, great TV/Stereo surround system, and the backyard is outstanding. I think this is the area we enjoyed the most, from sitting outside in the morning enjoying our coffee listening to the birds and taking in the beautiful fragrance from the orange trees to sitting outside in the evening with a glass of wine with all the twinkle lights on the palm trees and fountain running... great ambiance. The area was also great for taking walks not to mention very convenient to the freeways and close to great shopping and restaurants. The owners are very accomodating and easy to deal with, I would recommend staying here without hesitation.

Owner response:Nice to hear you had a wonderful time and felt at home. This is the idea we had in mind when we purchased the property. It is designed to destress and make you relax. Thanks for affirming this is what the house does for you.

This was a wonderful property. Pristine condition inside and out with a lovely backyard oasis. The furnishings were lovely- it was like being on an HGTV set. The neighborhood was quiet but convenient to stores and other parts of Phoenix. Sophie and Mike, the owners, were easy to deal with and everything was just as described on the site and in the other comments. We would recomend this property of anyone looking for a place in the area.

Owner response:Than you so much for your wonderful comments. It is so nice to hear that others can enjoy the home as we do for their getaways.

The “golf get away” for my sisters and mother was perfect thanks in very large part to your beautiful home. As soon as we walked in the door we knew it was special. Beautiful house and pool, immaculate and every amenity you could ask for – right down to the decadent Egyptian cotton towels! We’re looking forward to making this a yearly event. I highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a special holiday. Thank you Sophie & Michael for sharing your wonderful Arizona home.

Owner response:Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It is nice to know that others can enjoy themselves in our vacation home just like we do. We look forward to having you again.

Dear Michael and Sophie, Thank you so much for your hospitality. What a delight to arrive at your beautiful desert home after leaving the rain of the Pacific northwest. We found the house comfortable, convenient, and beautiful. We talked of trying to bring home your amazingly comfortable beds. Your attention to detail made our stay worry free. From the towel hamper by the deck door, to the convenient laundry facilities, to all the equipment to make drinks and fancy coffees. You thought of everything. We really appreciated the loose leaf book with all the tourist, shopping and dining information. Also the house information sheets explaining everything we needed to made our stay stress free. We all liked your library of books and games in the den. The kitchen and family room had everything we wanted and needed. Loved the big screen TV’s. We enjoyed the central location. Shopping, eating out, day trips around Phoenix, a drive to Scottsdale and Sedona were all easy. It was always wonderful to return to this beautiful home. We enjoyed many morning walks in the nearby park. We ate most of our meals outside on the lovely deck, lounged on the deck chairs beside the pool in the afternoon watching the birds and geckos, then enjoyed the lights in the palm trees in the evening. The backyard was a desert oasis for us northerners. We were comfortable from the moment we arrived. Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated,- all the luxury of a five star hotel with all the comforts and privacy of home. We didn’t want to leave. An extraordinary comfortable home away from home. Thank you again. We really enjoyed our stay. Sue, Jan, and Carol

Owner response:Thank you so much Sue, Jan & Carol. We purchased this home as our oasis away from home and are very happy to find that others feel the same way. We hope to have you back again. Your comments are greatly appreciated.
