From booking this property, spending a week there, and finally receiving the depost back, I can only state that this was an exceptionally positive experience. The house is very spacious, perfectly clean and all the furniture and fittings are of a very high quality. We loved it and highly recommend it to anyone viewing the details.

Owner response:Hi Pam, What a pleasant experience to have guests like you! Not only that you've been wonderful guests but you also took the time to express your thoughts about what our vacation villa has to offer. We believe that our guests deserve the best and a vacation at our house should be a memorable experience. We are happy that you enjoyed your vacation time there and wish the best to you and your family. You will always be welcome to come back any time you'd like. Olivia

Expectations Exceeded!

This was our first rental through VRBO so we were a bit apprehensive. EVERYTHING about this home is 5 star--furniture, yard, appliances, pool, BBQ, jacuzzi, sound equipment, televisions--pool table --you name it! It is the perfect place to entertain with the layout of the kitchen to family room. There are activities to keep all ages busy while dinner is being prepared. The minute you walk through the front door you feel at home because it has been furnished in such a friendly manner. The owners offer thoughtful amenities to make you feel welcome immediately. It is convenient to shopping, golfing, theatres, and sightseeing but who wants to leave the house! We highly recommend this home and look forward to visiting again.

A five-star home at a very affordable price

Words cannot begin to describe what a beautiful home you share with your guests. We rented this home for our week-long visit with our two boys (age 14 & 16) who live in Avondale with their dad and step-mom. Location nearby where the boys live was important to us so that they could have friends come visit, including our 14 year-old birthday party with a few friends. Your web site only begins to tell the story of what a special home you share. We had a big screen TV for each of the boys, and even had one in the game room for us. The PS3 has been keeping the boys entertained. The kitchen (with all of the essentials you could possibly need provided) allowed us to entertain guests. The pool and Jacuzzi were great for both adults and kids. The neighborhood is quiet and easy access to many things including our visit to University of Phoenix Stadium (15 minutes away) to see the Cardinals beat the Saints. A five-star home at a very affordable price. And to think I stayed at the Wigwam Resort last fall for this visit. My wife and I look forward to coming back again next fall for our visit with our boys.

Home is better than a 5 star hotel

Our 4 day stay at this home was an awesome experience! The owners definitely place high quality as a number one priority. The website photos and description are ony a glimpse of what the home really has to offer. Everything is superior from the home itself, neighborhood, the furnishings, bedding, kitchen supplies, appliances, entertainment provisions and the cleanliness of the home. The owners provided more "extras" than we ever expected and we had everything we needed and more during our stay. We visited with our son who is in the Air Force stationed at Lukes Air Force Base which was only a 10 minute drive from this home. Shopping was close by and the neighborhood extremely quiet. We were so happy to provide a "home away from home" for our son during our visit there. We definitely recommend this home if you are looking for high quality, comfort and cleanliness as the owners, Olivia and Igor, were wonderfully responsive to all our needs. T

Owner response:Dear Lisa, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience at our vacation villa in Litchfield Park. I will use this opportunity to tell everyone that this was our best experience with guests as well. Most of our guests are very considerate with our property but you have exceeded any expectation. The way you have treated our home was beyond imagination. It is people like you that we had in mind when we invested, furnished and decorated our house. We want the home to be a treat for our guests and make them feel special. Their vacation spent at the house should reward them for all the hard work they've done during the year and invite them to finally relax and celebrate life. Lisa, you and your family will always be welcome and considered our special guests at our vacation home in Arizona!

We make an annual trip to the Phoenix area and this house is the best we have stayed in by far! The location is great, the amenities are wonderful, and the home is gorgeous. We would recommend this home to anyone looking for a vacation rental near Phoenix.

We were 3 phyician couples from Sudbury, Ontario stayed at this house in November for 3 nights. We were the first guests. The house was beautiful and in a very good location, close to shops and restuarants. The house was fully stocked with new good quality pots, pans, plates etc. The furniture was very good. The house did not lack anything. Olivia was extremely gracious in answering our questions. We will definetly book again with the Marenkos if the opportunity arises. L. Aulakh
