Weather permitting, the temperature of the pool water can be raised for comfortable winter swimming.

The house is located in a private cul-de-sac within the quiet neighborhood of Surprise Farms. The exact address of the property will be emailed a week before check-in, along with a document of useful information about your stay. Outside visitors are not allowed without the owners’ permission, and the total number of vacation renters cannot exceed six. NO parties or pool parties are allowed. The backyard is surrounded by a cement block wall for privacy and security, and the house is on a corner lot with no two-story houses around. There is outdoor lighting on the patio and solar landscape lighting around the pool. The yard is maintained by a landscaper, and there is outdoor parking for two vehicles in the driveway. The neighborhood has playgrounds, lots of green spaces, and sidewalks for more outside enjoyment.
Each time the home is rented, the occupants are provided with an entry code for contactless check-in that is only for their use. This code, along with a document of useful information, will be emailed to travelers a week before check-in.
The property has many safety measures in place for guests. A first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, three motion detector lights on the front porch and garage door wall, and a Ring doorbell provide guests with additional security and convenience during their stay. There is an alarm on the sliding back door that can be activated for pool safety if guests have children. The personalized lock code and the three smoke detectors provide increased safety for guests. The motion-activated lights on the front porch and the sides of the garage allow for easier, safer night entry. This home is professionally cleaned after each checkout, and the cleaning company follows CDC guidelines for cleanliness. High touch surfaces like countertops, handles, and faucets are disinfected thoroughly.
The home is located just minutes from shopping, Surprise (Baseball) Stadium, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor water park, Top Golf, Lake Pleasant, nice restaurants, and parks. Prasada Village, a new shopping area, is less than two miles away, and has many new venues for dining, shopping, and family activities. New restaurants include Cooper’s Hawk, Barrio Queen, Panera Bread, O.H.S.O. Brewery, Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers, along with fast foods such as Chick-fil-A, WhataBurger, and Jimmy John’s. Many of these restaurants deliver independently or participate using Doordash, GrubHub, or Uber Eats. The Arizona Cardinals’ facility, State Farm Stadium in Glendale, is an easy drive from this home, as the NFL season always brings lots of visitors to the West Valley. The Mattel Adventure Park, opening later this year in Glendale, promises to provide rides and attractions built to delight people of all ages. For the baseball enthusiasts, check out the spring training schedule for the Texas Rangers and the Kansas City Royals, training right here in Surprise.

You can drive to Goodyear, about 18 miles away, to see the Cincinnati Reds and the Cleveland Guardians. The Cactus League has additional spring training facilities all over the valley. White Tank Park, a short drive off the 303, offers beautiful mountain views and easy trails for hiking enthusiasts.
Check out some of the many photos of nearby activities on this VRBO listing. There is also information about more local places of interest, sports, and several restaurant menus in a book and a binder in the living room. Come to Surprise, enjoy the desert climate, take some time to visit the surrounding areas, then come “home” to relax. There are endless activities in the desert to explore!

Thank you so much for your nice review! We were happy to have you as guests, and we appreciate you choosing our home for your stay.
Great place, appreciated the little extra touches. One little complaint- the master bath sink never got hot water, and the shower took a long time to warm up.

We’re glad you enjoyed our home, and we appreciate the five-star review. The hot water takes awhile to travel all the way to the main bathroom from the garage where the water heater is stored, but it does get hot eventually! No guest has ever mentioned this before, but we’ll have a plumber check it out. Thanks.
Beth and John are awesome hosts, great communication. Their home was lovely, very comfortable, and very clean. We appreciated very much how the home was stocked with everyday essentials. The backyard and patio area was so peaceful, private, and relaxing. We would definitely rent this home again and hope we are able to in the future.

This property is perfect. Super handy, yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood.

About the host
Hosted by John and Beth Grooms
John and Beth love living in Arizona! John managed oil companies from Charleston, South Carolina to Long Beach, California. Beth is a retired elementary school principal. They enjoy golf, boating, traveling, and socializing with friends.
Why they chose this property
We chose to purchase a home in Arizona to enjoy the wonderful weather. We enjoy major league sports, and we can always find something going on in the Phoenix area! We love our newly landscaped backyard and pool area. We have renovated this home and have made it not only one that we can call home, but hopefully one you will visit time and time again.
What makes this property unique
The valley, including Surprise, offers so much for visitors and residents alike. We especially like the quietness of our cul-de-sac and the privacy of our backyard. We enjoy the restaurants, the shopping, and the sporting events that take place here. The surrounding mountains and lack of humidity offer us a totally unique living experience, having both grown up near the beach in the South Carolina lowcountry.
