The house is well kept and beautiful on a quiet neighborhood street. Lots of fun birds in the backyard all day if that's your thing. The patio is lovely and covered, which was nice even in the summer heat. I would recommend and book again. The only issue I had was at the time of my booking, the listing noted an 11am checkout, only to find out that it was really a 10am checkout.

Upon arrival, we were very pleased. The home is exactly as pictured—beautiful, peaceful, well-decorated, and truly feels like a luxury property. The kitchen is gorgeous, and overall the home is very comfortable. Neighborhood, patio, and use of single car garage Unfortunately, the biggest issue for us was the cooling. When we arrived, the home felt stuffy. I lowered it to 68 and immediately received a message from the host explaining that the air conditioner could freeze if set below 72 and cause us completely lose AC. I understand that extreme temperatures can affect HVAC systems, However, for a premium-priced property in Arizona, I expected additional ways to stay comfortable. There are no ceiling fans, and no portable fans were provided. We ended up purchasing two tower fans ourselves just to create some air movement. Even though the hallway thermostat would read 72, the rooms we were actually using were often much warmer—our fan displays showed temperatures as high as 82. With the fans running, we were only able to get the occupied rooms down to 79, and we constantly had to move the fans from room to room depending on where we were.Cooking meals made the problem even worse. While I understand that Arizona was experiencing a heat wave, I believe a luxury rental should be equipped to handle those conditions with 2nd AC, ceiling fans, portable fans, etc. We booked a 16 night stay and checked out at day 10 - forfeiting the remaining time because we were so hot.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the home itself and found it beautiful, peaceful, comfortable, and well-appointed. We’re sorry, however, that the temperature during your stay impacted your experience. We understand that Arizona’s summer heat can be intense, and we take concerns about the home’s cooling seriously. Our HVAC system is designed to maintain the home at a safe and comfortable temperature, and we specifically communicated the 72° minimum setting because setting the thermostat lower can cause the system to freeze and potentially result in a complete loss of air conditioning. We also appreciate you bringing the indoor temperatures to our attention. Had we known the home was consistently reaching temperatures in the upper 70s despite the thermostat being set to 72°, we would have been happy to investigate the HVAC system during your stay. We regret that you chose to leave early rather than giving us the opportunity to address the issue. We appreciate your positive comments about the property and your feedback regarding additional fans and cooling options. We’ll certainly take those suggestions into consideration as we continue improving the guest experience.
