Location is excellent – 1 block to the Walmart neighborhood store (S) and other shopping, restaurants, etc (N). It is an oasis of sorts, being of much newer construction – built in ~1985 – compared to the surrounding neighborhood. The complex is a mixture of condos and apartments (condos that did not sell but are rented). Many snowbirds and military live in the complex (Davis Monthan AFB being 1 mile directly south to the main gate). 16 buildings total comprise the entire condo complex – so it is a sizable complex that is surrounded by a metal fence around the entire perimeter. This specific VRBO unit is located on the 1st floor and faces into an inside courtyard, so it is nice and quiet (vs the traffic noise along Craycroft). It has a corresponding, dedicated parking spot that is covered (to protect your car from the sun). Bedroom is nice and big with a large walk-in closet. Bathroom is sizable too. Living room, dining area, and kitchen are in an open floor arrangement with the washer/dryer immediately off the kitchen. For the 1st three weeks, we had no neighbor above us, so it was quiet. Swimming pool, hot tub, and gas grilling area are only about 30 ft away from the unit – so you are REALLY close. We went almost daily to the pool area to lie out and read. With the wind blowing and 3 fountains at the pool bubbling, it was extremely peaceful and restful. Because we were lodging for 5 weeks (month of Jan and 1 week in Feb), almost no one went to the pool area. So, we had it to ourselves most of the time. The gym is good and is open 24/7. Dozens of dogs live in the complex as evidenced by daily walks (no problems). We used to take daily walks around the perimeter of the entire complex, usually 3-5 times, either day or night. – In short, our stay was good and we would gladly rebook again.
At NO FAULT to the host or owner, we had 3 instances that point out managerial problems at the complex itself.
1 – We lost water supply for 18 hours - no explanation.
2 – The key pad for actuating the access gate wasn’t working right for about 4 days when we first arrived.
3 – Hot tub was closed due to “missing parts” for ~18 days.
While neither the host or owner are responsible for these 3 occurrences, if you are renting the unit, then be prepared for some mishaps to occur due to the ineptitude of the Residential Mgmt. Our one negative reaction about the place was a dirty carpet (the bottom of my white socks became quite dirty easily).
