The always-changing colors of the sunset in the backyard are breathtaking!

Zero entry main level has 3 bedrooms with King beds and 1 with a Queen and ALL 4 King bedrooms have their own private balcony or patio. Two bedrooms have an en-suite bathroom and then two others have a split en-suite, meaning it has a door to bath directly but also a door from a hallway.

This oasis in the heart of the desert hosts, a heated pool with a waterfall, fire pit, 9-hole putting green, 1 fireplace, outdoor BBQ kitchen, baseball hoop area, ping-pong, pool table, slapback shuffleboard, poker table, “Golden Tee” machine, a 4 person arcade with 1,300 games, dart machine, air hockey, foosball, double “pop a shot”, all smart TV's, Direct TV and free wifi, and more.

Great spot for a big group. Plenty to keep younger kids occupied during the day. A bit of a drive to Phoenix and Scottsdale, but perfect if you stock up before heading to the house.

Wonderful home for large group

This home was perfect for our family gathering. 5 different families all stayed together, 8 adults with 9 kids (ages 2-15). The home is large enough that each couple had their own space/bathroom while the kids all hung together downstairs. Countless games of air hockey and ping pong were played! The backyard is the perfect place for family meals and swimming/golf plus sitting by the fire pit in the evenings. Property manager was quick to respond to any questions. Such a great place to enjoy time together and close enough to explore the area. Highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
The house was spacious and pretty clean although slightly dated/needing some updates. Grill didn't work, management company wasn't the best to deal with. Instead of calling us and fixing it they sent us an email stating they could fix it next week, which they did end up doing. Thermostat in the main bedroom didn't work so that probably needs to be looked at. The management company charged us a late checkout fee for an extra 1.5 hours because the cost was for "extra cleaners" but ironically they didn't contact us again with other fees until another week went by.The management company is now contacting us about "missing" items and as of writing this we still don't know if they are charging us extra fees for the so-called missing items (which we have no idea what they are talking about). TLDR: liked the house but not the management company.

We had a great time

We loved the house overall. We had a few issues that management was able to resolve pretty quickly considering it was a holiday week. Just a word of caution that the design of the home allows noise to carry. If you are sleeping in the rooms right off the main floor living room you might want to bring ear plugs. We even loved the location which was out of town but still close to amenities. There was plenty of parking on site.
