From our first contact with Michelle thru our contact as we left, everything went smoothly and pleasantly for our two week stay. The house was spotless, and very well appointed (a bottle of wine upon arrival, spices, condiments, laundry detergent, TP, paper towels, towels, sheets, cooler…). Everything inside was comfortable and well maintained.
The back yard is super - 5 stars! The double lounger, 4 swivel/rocker chairs, and table with 6 chairs gives you plenty of comfortable seating options. The fire pit was great - we sat outside every evening to watch the sunset and relax. The puttting green inspired many games and laughter (hey, it’s harder than you think!). The real bonus is the covered patio; having shade to enjoy most of the afternoon was extremely helpful, as my skin can’t tolerate the sun all day.
The location of their home is just what you want when you’re on vacation. So easy to get in/out of Johnson Ranch, and literally a couple of minutes to Walgreens, Fry’s, and half a dozen restaurants (including Rosati’s, Bobo China, Brickie’s BBQ, Greek Islands Grill, and more). The Johnson Ranch golf course is not only part of the view (#1 fairway), but there is a restaurant there, too! One of the 3 Johnson Ranch swimming pools (includes a hot tub) is also about two blocks away. We visited/hiked at San Tan regional park (20 min), Boyce Thompson Arboretum, Lost Dutchman Park, and Ussury regional Park (all are around 45-60 minutes away).
We had a fun, relaxing stay. The neighborhood was quiet…and the HUGE living room tv was perfect to enjoy the early rounds of the NCAA basketball tourney. We played a couple of the games (especially the Logo game) that were in the entertainment cabinet.
So, if you’re considering a stay in AZ, this is The Place to stay!
