Well equipped house with a great pool area and yard backing up to desert area. Quiet neighborhood surrounded by mountains and gorgeous sunrises out the patio. Kevin is great host. It’s our second stay at their cozy arizona styled home. We love the Gold Canyon area. The house has everything for relaxing stay.

This was the perfect house and location for our vacation in Arizona. The host was very responsive and accommodating! The house was fully furnished with everything that we needed for our stay. The pool was kept at a perfect temperature that we were able to enjoy it in January. Great experience and would highly recommend it!

Wonderful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Phoenix proper. Gold Canyon is a quiet community with great proximity to the Superstitions and amazing hikes. The accommodations were as described. Our family felt very much at home and comfortable during our stay. The weather was great for December which allowed us the opportunity to utilize the wonderful outdoor space. Our host was wonderful and very timely with communications. The house had everything we needed. Kitchen was fully stocked allowing proper meal preparations without the need to purchase additional cookware. Plenty of towels and supplies. Overall, we would recommend this house to our friends and family, and would return if our travels would bring us back to Gold Canyon!

Poolside serenity in the Desert

No need to venture too far from the lovely pool,just kick back and enjoy the birds and scenery. Lots of updates in the pool area, and you couldn't ask for nicer, more accommodating hosts. The neighborhood is very friendly and walkable, or you can tryout the bikes if you want to venture further afield.

2-Month Stay in Gold Canyon

This was our seventh year staying at this property. We absolutely love it. Very well stocked with everything you will need. And it’s so close to restaurants, shopping, golf and all the fun things you want to do while on vacation. The Ostic’s are the most caring, friendly, and considerate people to rent from. We can’t wait to go back next year.

This is our 11th or 12th year renting the Ostic property. That says it all. It’s like coming home to us. The owners are wonderful caring people. The house and back yard are like an oasis.

Wonderful place in Gold Canyon!

We just spent 10 days at this property and loved it. The outdoor space is beautiful and very tastefully decorated. The pool was perfect and we spent a lot of time in it since the weather was especially warm for October. The house had absolutely everything that we needed and the kitchen was very well equipped. We were very comfortable and felt very much at home. The homeowner, Kevin was very friendly and responsive from our initial inquiry about the house and we highly recommend this home for your future stay in the desert!
