Great week in a great house

We stayed here April 26- May 3, 2025. House location was great. Large lots for all the homes in the area and quiet neighborhood too. We took our adult children and grandchildren ages 1,3 and 5 and hardly ever left the property because they all enjoyed it so much. The pool was amazing we paid to have it heated and ended up having to turn it down because it was too warm! Used Shipt shoppers for groceries and brought in take out a couple of times and ate on the covered patio. The pickleball court and putting green were a hit with the kids. The yard and ebterior of the house could use a little sprucing up but all in all a fantastic place to stay as a family!

Disappointing

Spent 5 days on property for Spring Training. Property was listed with lots of outside activities for adults and kids alike. Inside of home was clean and had nice layout for 3 families. Kitchen wasn’t stocked with enough cleaning supplies, dish towels, trash bags, etc. Be prepared to bring your own. Ice maker did not work on refrigerator. Outside was a major disappointment. The pool and spa were non functional 4 out of 5 days. Technicians were sent out 5 times and issues were not resolved leaving us without one of the major reasons we booked this property. And, dead mouse was in pool when we arrived. Property management was not willing to give any compensation refund for lack of nonfunctional pool/spa. Would not book again. Not worth money spent.

Great house for a family Christmas

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had a wonderful time renting this house during Christmas. The house fit the 10 of us very well! It was nice having 3 bedrooms on one side of the house and the other two on the other side. The pool, hot tub, pickle ball court, game console and golf were a hit with all of us. The Kitchen was large and nice to cook in. The inside table needs extra chairs since we couldn't sit outside at night. There are a few cosmetic items outside that could be fixed. Overall I would recommend this property. The Management company was very helpful!

Family getaway

Unique looking home. Loved the backyard area. Really wish there was a heater in both the hot tub and the pool. Definitely found with our group that we would’ve been using both simultaneously, particularly because the air was cool during certain times where some of our family would have enjoyed visiting with those in the pool while being in the hot tub. Even if it meant an extra daily charge, it would’ve been worth it. Loved having the laundry facility, just wish there was a laundry basket. Would’ve definitely been helpful for transitioning things from the dryer to a place to fold them. Also appreciated the start up waters in the refrigerator, but would definitely have enjoyed simple things like salt and pepper, Nonstick spray, things that you don’t necessarily wanna have to purchase at the grocery store because you won’t take them home and you won’t use them all. Management was very responsive when had questions through texting. Appreciated that there were lots of beach towels. Do wish that we could’ve controlled the temperature in the home a bit easier we were unable to get it to heat up in the evening to a comfortable temperature and it was a bit cooler. Master bedroom was nice however it would be nice to have a barn door something that would separate the bathroom from the actual bedroom for slightly extra privacy. All in all we enjoyed having our five kids together now that they are getting older and the house definitely worked for our needs. Great location as well.

Appreciated the location, variety of activities available both indoors and out, roomy, great pool/hot tub, enjoyed the outdoor fireplace. On the whole, the house is tired, in need of TLC...painting, carpet is filthy, had to deal with rats between the house and garage. For large groups need another refrig. That said, would do it again.

Ideal Golf Trip Pad

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house had many things to offer and it lived up to expectations. The backyard area was useful and perfect for gatherings, whether around the basketball hoop, outdoor living room or spa, the space was memorable. The indoor space was great for gathering as well for 12+ people as it offered games and large amount of seating around the TV. Location was fantastic for golf. Many great courses were within 15 minutes. The staff was very responsive and accommodating to our needs.

Quiet and relaxing

The house is a nice size and the layout is perfect for large groups. Lots of games and areas for fun. The neighborhood is quiet and nice proximity to amenities. The backyard doesn't quite match the pictures and could use some maintenance/upkeep. The pool needed to be cleaned and there were a few dirty dishes in the cabinet. Communication with them was great and the check-in/check-out process was very smooth. Also, really appreciated the shampoo, dish soap, etc. Overall, we enjoyed our time!

Nice house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Definitely a nice big house, but for the money I feel like the furniture should not have been broken for the amount I paid. The hot tub only worked one night out of the entire week . Paying almost 5 grand for 6 days I feel like that should not have happened. Other than that, the house was very nice house for people to go. They do need to put a fan outside the table on the patio. You could sit out there if it just had a fan over top.

Fabulous stay!

We stayed at this property for a few days while on a short family vacation. The house was exactly as the pictures described and was clean and beautiful. It is actually larger than the pics make it seem. The house has a lovely set up with 2 rooms on one side of the house and 3 rooms on the other side. Had we gone with another family, this setup would have afforded privacy with each family being in a separate wing. The pool was absolutely gorgeous and since the weather was around 110 degrees each day, the pool is where we spent most of our time. When we first arrived there was an issue with a ceiling fan in one of the rooms. The management responded to my texts promptly and provided an immediate solution. The location of the house was wonderful with gorgeous views of the mountains. It is a very quiet area so when you are outside you can truly relax without noise or traffic or hearing other neighbors. We very much enjoyed our stay and we look forward to renting this property again.
