About this property

Desert Palm Villa - Heated Pool, Large 1 Story, 2 Ensuites

This sprawling rancher will greet you with clean design and spacious retreats. Take a refreshing dip in the pool, kick up your feet to smart TVs, enjoy coffee on the eastern patio in the rising sun, and afternoon ice tea surrounded by fruit trees or under the shade of the covered patio. A large living room, furnished kitchen, 2 master ensuites, and a total of 4 king beds ensure comfort throughout your stay. 2 full bunks and an additional full pull out provide extra space for your entire group.

Each king room is equipped with a top rated memory foam mattress, white cotton linens, a 55" smart TV (log in with your personal memberships), box fan and luggage racks. Additional closet space can also be used in each of the 4 king bedrooms. The full over full bunk room has 2 luggage racks and additional baskets for any storage needs. Travel toiletries and luxurious bath and pool towels are provided. The living room and dining rooms provide plenty of seating for large groups.

Our pool is now equipped with a heater! If you would like the pool to be heated during your stay, just let us know and an additional pool heating charge of $80 per day will be added to your reservation.

The Val Vista Lakes Resort pools and amenities are available by request to guests staying 7+ nights for no additional fee! Guests must let us know ahead of time if you would like to add these resort amenities to your stay so we can have time to arrange your access with the front desk. Attempting to gain access without proper paperwork being filed ahead of time by your host will result in you being turned away.

The Val Vista Lakes Resort pools and amenities are not accessible by guests staying at the Palm Villa for less than 7 nights. Do not attempt to gain access to these facilities.

Beautiful home. It felt like anything and everything we needed to make the stay relaxed and complete were furnished with this property. The home had a perfect layout. 2 master suites were amazing. I chose from the other 3 bedrooms, which were each unique and comfortable. The backyard pool and game area were fantastic as well. I would not have changed anything about this home. It was perfect for us.

Perfect house for family holiday

For the past 12 years my siblings and our families rent a vrbo to celebrate Thanksgiving. Our stay this year was by far the best. Gretchen was wonderful to work with, responsive and accommodating. The house was clean and organized and we had everything we needed to prepare Thanksgiving dinner. The beds were comfortable. There were plenty of linens and towels and the bathrooms had soap, lotion and shampoo. The house and yard are well maintained. We enjoyed the beautiful back yard and lawn games. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing Arizona Oasis

This home is comfortable and has everything you need. The set up is great with two master suites and king-sized beds in four bedrooms. Kids will love the bunk room as well! Location is also great and close to grocery stores, restaurants, walking trails, etc. The best part about it is the pool and outdoor space. The lemon, grapefruit and orange trees were an added bonus. The owner, Gretchen, was wonderful about communicating everything we needed to know in a timely manner. Would definitely stay again!

Great for families!

Gretchen was superb! Answered all my questions in a timely manner. The property was beautiful and perfect for my husband, 4 teenagers and myself. The backyard was fantastic with the pool, bean bags and grill which we used every day throughout the week! We also had access to the Val vista clubhouse with our 7 day stay. There we enjoyed an Olympic size pool, tennis courts and kayaking. The area was clean safe and close to many restaurants and shops. Thanks Gretchen:)
