Great Desert Getaway

The house was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen very well stocked. We spent lots of time relaxing in the pool/patio area which is truly an oasis. The owner was responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Best Experience Ever!

My husband and I loved staying in Penny and Roy’s Arizona Home! We had a wonderful time entertaining friends and family, golfing, eating out at nearby restaurants, taking walks in the quiet neighborhood and swimming and soaking up the sun in the beautiful backyard. This home had everything you could possibly want and Penny was the perfect hostess. She made our stay incredibly pleasant! I would definitely recommend this VRBO to other friends and family and we look forward to returning next year!

Desert Oasis

Very clean and organised. Everything was clearly marked for ease of use. Anything you could want was provided. The pool and backyard area was exceptional. We probably spent more time out back than anywhere else. The natural gas grill was used many times. Thank you Penny and Roy for the opportunity to stay at your Desert Oasis.

Great stay at Estrella. The house and pool were fantastic. Penny was very responsive and informative. Definitely the most completely stocked VRBO we have stayed in. All light switches and drawers were clearly marked (a very helpful and thoughtful item) I highly recommend this home.

Desert Oasis

This was our first experience renting a house through VRBO and the Desert Oasis did not disappoint. We were in AZ for a baseball tournament and the house was conveniently located near every field. Check in and out was easy. We decided to extend our stay and Penny was awesome in accommodating our request. The pool is a big highlight of the house. We will definitely be back!

Home owners very helpful with questions and very amendable to ensuring your time is enjoyable. Appreciate the welcome gift too. Very organized and clean home especially during covid-19. Great hiking at nearby Estrella Mountain Regional Park.

Amazing desert oasis!

I’m not sure where to start! Everything was nothing short of amazing! It felt like home away from home. Penny was the absolute BEST host! This home was beautiful, clean, and every detail was thought of when hosting guests. I couldn’t believe how many things were provided for use by her guests. There wasn’t a single thing left out, and she even left popsicles for the kids. The pool area/backyard is nothing short of AMAZING! You have to see it to believe it. I’d love to stay again! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks again Penny!

True desert oasis for our family vacation!

We absolutely loved our stay at Penny and Roy's desert oasis! Impeccably clean, organized (everything had its place and all labeled!), and beautifully decorated. Plenty of room for our family of four. Kitchen is fully stocked! We spent many hours in their spacious pool and my kids played with all the pool toys that were readily available! Penny was so quick to respond to any questions that we had, and beyond that, she was so sweet and friendly! 35-minute drive from Phoenix Airport. Safeway gocery store with Starbucks inside down the street. Thank you, again, Penny and Roy, for sharing your beautiful home with our family. We look forward to coming back to stay in the future!

Beautiful Property in Goodyear

This beautiful home is a 10/10! We stayed here on business for a few months with the kids and could not be more impressed! The home was beautifully put together, very homey and welcoming, it felt like home away from home. It has a very chic and comfortable feel with games for the family and a cozy lounge area by the pool. We loved coming back to the house after a long day to relax, grill out by the pool and enjoy the beautiful ambiance. It truly is an oasis in the desert. The owners were very sweet and accommodating. During our summer stay, they offered us information about local neighborhood things to do during the 4th of July for the kids, they referred us awesome restaurants and activities in the area and helped us maximize our stay. It was like having our own personal concierge making the trip effortless and so fun. The house has everything you need to enjoy cooking and chilling at home. I wish we could live here full time. We will definitely be back any chance we get. Thank you Penny and Roy for your hospitality! You have outdone yourselves.

Excellent holiday

We had a wonderful time at our place this year. Penny & Roy made sure we were comfortable and happy at all times. They thought of absolutely everything we might need. The house was totally stocked with more than we have ever had in other places we have rented. We were delighted at the little gift that was there for us when we came in. It made us feel welcome and expected. We would love to rent this place again if we go to AZ. Thanks again Lou & Lynda Trommel

Loved it - would definitely book again and recommend to friends and family

Our stay at the Desert Oasis was everything we had hoped for. The house is very well stocked with everything top quality from kitchen ware, linens, beds, outdoor furniture. The beds were very comfortable. I am a person who likes to cook and I really appreciated the cooking utensils and kitchen ware. The owners have not skimped on anything. We have stayed in the Estrella Mtn area several times in the past and this is one of the nicest homes we have stayed in. We also liked the proximity to the local grocery store, pharmacy, and sporting venues. It was also really nice having the option to have the pool heated. It was a pleasure dealing with the owners - they were just a text message or phone call away if we needed anything or had any questions. I highly recommend the Desert Oasis for your stay in the Goodyear area. Audrey D.

Wonderful, very clean and up-to-date. Everything you would ever need for a wonderful vaction!!

Overall the home was very well appointed - had everything that you would need plus more. The owners were delightful to deal with - even when a small problem arose they took care of it immediately. They were always available if there were any questions that needed answered. The neighborhood was exactly what we were looking for. So close to many amenities - supermarkets, drug stores, golf, baseball and lots of restaurants to choose from close by. Wouldn't hesitate to rent again - had a wonderful vacation!! it was everything that we were hoping for!!! Karen C.

Perfect Get Away

We had 2 adults and 3 young adults ranging from the age of 20-24, this rental was immaculate, spacious, and amenities for all, from relaxing by the pool, 2 mountain bikes, basketball, tennis courts near by, and hiking trails. The pool had beautiful lighting and a waterfall. The furniture and appliances are all updated, I even fell in love with the Silverware! Penny was a phone call away, she was so helpful. 2 people in our group are gluten free, and Penny went out of her way, to research and suggest some local eateries that provide Gluten Free options. Thank you for making our family vacation memorable. Lisa - Indiana

Thank you Lisa for your wonderful review! Having Lisa and her family was a wonderful experience. She was extremely easy to communicate with before, during and after her stay. They are welcome anytime to our Desert Oasis. She even kept me updated on the family excursions, I felt I was hanging out with her family! They left our home extremely clean and followed all our checkout instructions. Thank you Lisa and family for spending your vacation in our home. We hope to see you back again.
