Our family really enjoyed the outdoor area. We spent most of our time in the pool and hot tub. The pool is very spacious and we never felt crowded, even though there were 8 of us in the water! Water temperature in the pool and hot tub was perfect. The fruit trees were an added bonus. The house was spacious with a large kitchen for cooking. Primary bedroom and ensuite were spacious and amazing! We had a wonderful, relaxing family vacation!

We had plenty of room for a friend group of six. The pool was of perfect temperature in the hot Arizona sun. The putting green also provided hours of fun. We would highly recommend this house. Made lots of funny memories during our stay.

Late October Family Reunion

Great location! Very spacious - especially the master suite and kitchen. 5-6 TV’s - The outdoor space was amazing… The pool was much larger than expected, and the putting green was an added bonus. We grilled out a couple times and had a blast! We will definitely come back to this location again. Bonus - There’s a very large park about a block away - safe and quiet neighborhood.

Wonderful Pool Property

We loved our stay in this home. Mirjam, the owner is extremely response and accommodating. Her first priority is to make sure you are happy. The pool is amazing, we hardly even cared that it was the longest hot streak because we spent our days in the pool. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we made lots of great family memories.

Lovely clean, spacious home.

The house was clean and well appointed. The pool was great as it’s a diving pool with a bonus of a hot tub. Fruit trees and a putting green added to our stay and perfectly located. Mirjam is very accommodating and responsive. We had a small issue which she dealt with immediately. We had a great stay and would have no hesitation in recommending it.

Great location

We enjoyed our family vacation at this house. It has all the amenities you need to stay at the house the whole time and enjoy time together. Its only a block away from a great park for kids to play. The only thing is I would say the pool heating was a waste of money. It was warm on arrival but then it wasn’t warm again our whole stay. Even with leaving the cover on for a few days. So I would definitely skip that extra cost.

Nice House Could Use Some Updates

Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the house. The street was a little busy/loud and night for us, but great neighborhood otherwise. There were a few things that could make the house even better, such as curtains and trash cans in each bedroom and more hooks to hang towels on. The patio chairs could use updating as a lot of the wicker seats were broken so not super comfortable to sit on in shorts or swimsuits. The backyard was great but a heater/fire pit would make it even better! We also wished the outdoor speakers could be connected to. We really enjoyed our trip just a few things changes would make us pick the house again.

Hot tub issues

The house is fine and mostly as advertised. The decor is a little strange but that isn't a criteria for a rental. The main issue our group had was that the hot tub was uninviting. We were looking forward to using it as we come from cold winter places. The water level was low and it was not terribly clean so it wasn't used. Otherwise, the house was fine. I stay in this area pretty frequently and, at this price point, there are better properties in the area. It should suit most peoples needs but it is not one that I would rent again.
