Beautiful luxury - Executive home, Long term stays preferred - 30 day minimum

Thank you for the great stay Mike. We enjoyed your home and it worked great for us.

I felt that El Encanto was a very nicely appointed rental property and it had one of the best prepared kitchens for a vacation rental. We were able to prepare a number of meals with relative ease as they smartly have things like knives that are sharp, a garlic press, enough cutlery/silverware to eat with everything works. I think I used all of the appliances at one point or another and once getting adjusted to how their stove works, I was fine.

The rooms were comfortable although I did find the mattress in the master bedroom to be a bit harder than I like and also a bit too close to the floor. The rooms were a bit dimly lit because the house was from an era before the proper utilization of can lights as opposed to track lights or pendant lights became more common. If you couple the darker (but stylish) colors with the room lighting, having a few can lights would make a huge difference in some of the rooms. I also did not like the open bathroom in the mater bedroom. If the house was mine, I would put a pocket door or a regular door because the whole area was too open for my liking. Minor point but I thought I would offer that up as I don't like that sort of completely open master bath area.

The internet worked well, no issues there and the AC worked reasonably well too (considering that it was at or above 110 the whole time we were there). In summary, El Encanto is a nice place to stay and it's a nice haven away from the ugly side of Vegas and the heat. It was also nice to know that the neighborhood was secure and it also seems to be one of the nicer parts of town. The only other feedback was that the furniture was too Vegas and for me, I would probably prefer to have furniture that was a little more comfortable and casual but I know it's not my place and I was ultimately reasonably comfortable most of the time but my tastes lean towards leather couches/chairs and wooden tables as opposed to glass topped tables etc.

I highly recommend the place because in spite of my observations of the style, the place is reasonably priced, served us well for the week we were there and was nicely equipped to make our stay much more enjoyable than a hotel. I would say if you need a place and can meet the minimum stay requirement, this is a great place to rent and it's in a really nice neighborhood.

This home was perfect for our needs. It is nicely decorated and stocked with everything you would need. They even have a home library and family board games. We were very pleased with our stay. The owner was very nice, helpful, and accommodating. We would love to stay in this home again should we go to Las Vegas for another trip.

The house was exactly as pictured, and Mike was very organized. He clearly set his expectations of how the house should be used and the condition it should be left in. He also provided detailed information about the home which was helpful.

If not for providing me an expired gate access code, and the thermostats constantly resetting themselves while I was in the house, I would never have needed to contact him after executing the contract.

Why the four stars? The climate control. Beautiful house or not, the climate control issue made us very uncomfortable. Mike made it crystal clear he didn't want the thermostats set below 74, and being from the north east I was uncomfortable about this, but I accepted the limitation because of what a nice house it was, and the special considerations of air conditioning a house in 115 degree weather. Set to 74 with the fans always on would have been on the edge of my comfort zone, but with the fans set to auto and the thermostats constantly resetting it was most uncomfortable. I got heat rashes, waking up sweating in the middle of the night, from the thermostat resetting themselves to 79 the first couple of nights, and my guests also complained about not being able to sleep even after the problem was supposedly resolved, because the upstairs thermostat kept resetting itself to 76 in the middle of the night for most of the stay.

The problem was the thermostats were remotely monitored and controlled, and Mike didn't seem to have a handle on exactly how to disable the scheduling setback feature. There was also no way to disable this locally. I immediately let Mike know of the problem, and he was responsive and sympathetic (to his credit), but it took him time just to mitigate the issue (the thermostats kept changing, albeit less frequently/extremely then when we moved in).

Again: beautiful house, nice neighborhood, very organized owner. Just make sure he has the auto thermostat control issue under control, and if you are going during the high heat of summer like I did -- set the fan setting on both thermostats to ON to maintain air circulation in the house.

This is a nice house in a quiet and gated community. The location is close enough to freeways that we enjoyed the trip to Hoover dam , downtown and the strip. We even took über one night. Mike was very helpful and he made the rental process easy . We have used this rental website site many times and have been satisfied with the rentals. We will be back to this home, well kept , comfy couches and peaceful.
