Thank you Jim. I loved you staying at my vacation home. Come again January 2026 is available for booking now. take advantage of the low rates before they increase with market rates .Aurora & Rick
This home was perfect for our time away. Aurora was great in her response to our needs when we had them. The pool and hot tub were great and loved that the morning sun was at the backyard to sit and absorb that wonderful warmth and sunshine. Will definitely stay here again.
I was so impressed with this property! It was everything I had hoped for in rental. Just a beautiful house and property! Very nice host as well! Thank you!

Thank you for the rating of our home. And thanking for treating our home with care and respect. Hope to see you again.
We had a great time in this beautiful home at the base of the Superstition Mountains, enjoying the patio, pool, and hot tub and the opportunity for hiking . The host went out of her way to make us feel welcome, providing information before our visit and doing whatever possible to make us feel at home. The home had everything we needed for our stay.
This was our third time staying here. It never disappoints. The Jose is always clean. The accommodations are very comfortable. The heated pool is heaven! The host Aurora is always quick to respond. Highly recommend.

The best Vrbo rental we’ve ever rented, the attention to detail was amazing, house , pool and hot tub are perfect . Aurora and Rick were so easy to work with and communication was great!! Would definitely recommend. Thanks for sharing you home with us !!
We had a wonderful stay at Aurora's home. Easy check-in, super clean, and very well stocked with anything you could need in the kitchen. The outdoor pool area is beautiful and very peaceful to relax with your morning coffee. Having a heated pool in November was a definite bonus. It's also located in a really nice neighborhood with a grocery store just down the street. Highly Recommend! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.
House worked perfect for 3 couples and two 18 month olds. Although the temperature was a little cool at night, the pool was awesome because it was actually warm and the hot tub was great too. Was in a lovely neighborhood and very close to the community pool if you need a bigger hot tub and pool to swim in. Very close to grocery store, starbucks, ice cream, mexican restaurant and urgent care. Kitchen was well stocked and plenty of towels. Walking trails close by.

Thank you so for you great review. It is greatly appreciated. Aurora
We had an amazing week! The house was immaculate and had everything that we needed. It also was in an ideal location, with hiking trails (and a coffee shop!😊) within walking distance. The host lived nearby and was available at all times. But, the best part was the backyard! A pool that was like bath water and an outdoor gas fireplace. We are hoping that we can return next year during the Minnesota winter!

Hi Mary.
Thank you for your awesome review. You treated my home with such care and respect. I would love very much to have you and your friends back. You will hear from me very soon!
Aurora
This home was clean and very well cared for. The owner was easy to get a hold of with any questions we had. It is a perfect location when staying in Apache Junction.
Aurora was wonderful throughout the entire process. The property is possibly the most beautifully appointed, home-like VRBO I have ever stayed at. Several thoughtful and homey touches throughout. The master bed is very comfortable. The keyless entry was convienent. The property was incredibly clean inside and outside. These owners take huge pride in their house.
