I really enjoyed my stay here. It is very bright with lots of windows. The neighborhood is really quiet. I enjoyed my morning coffee in the courtyard and an afternoon read in the backyard. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic and Beautiful Accommodation
This place is fantastic. It is a great vacation destination. Place was clean and beautifully decorated with lots of sunlight. I loved the outside seating and access to nature. I love to hike and golf so this place was a dream come true. If you want to be active you can go have an adventure, or you can just sit out on the patio and relax and enjoy. The town of Florence has a historic, small-town feel with a desert lifestyle. You will love staying at this location and will enjoy the peace and quiet.
This house exceeded our expectations! The host was SO accommodating….we couldn’t have asked for more! If you’re waiting on your home to close here in Del Webb’s Anthem @ Merrill Ranch, like we were, I highly recommend this house. And if you’re just visiting friends or exploring a move to AZ, stay here. It’s conveniently located to major shopping centers but away from the hustle and bustle of Phoenix. The town of Florence is just minutes away and a fun place to visit.Don’t pass up The Anthem Grille located on the property. Great food at VERY reasonable prices! Bring your golf clubs and bathing suits and just relax! -John K
