Pool was outstanding and well maintained. The property was very clean and nice. The extras were appreciated & their support was fantastic throughout. I was repeatedly acknowledged by my wife and family for finding such a wonderful place to stay. It was more than just a rental property for a baseball tournament. It was a proper vacation getaway.

If you are thinking about booking this home, just do it! Karianne is the most amazing host and quick to respond. She thought of everything to make her home a wonderful place to stay. The house had everything we needed and the pool was an added bonus! Location is great, with a grocery store right across the street. So much to do around the area as well. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you!

This golf-course cottage is set up for family fun! We enjoyed the waterfall feature of the pool and all the pool toys and floaties. Slept great on one of the best mattresses we've ever experienced!

About the host

Hosted by Karianne Richards

Host profile image
We are very grateful to be able to host here on VRBO. We currently live in WA State. We are a young family who love Arizona and all it offers which is why we chose to buy a home to share with you in San Tan Valley.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful and well kept. It is extremely close to the HOA amenities and the golf course. Additionally, nearby are places to eat and a shopping center to fill all your needs.

What makes this property unique

Our home is a little oasis. The back yard provides a clean and comfortable retreat. The interior was furnished (new) in 10/2025. Spend some time in the sun then come inside for a cold drink and kick your feet up.
You're steps from an amazing golf course and walking distance to 1 of the 3 great pools and tennis/pickle ball courts of Johnson Ranch.
