The home was beautiful, just as pictured. The 3 bedrooms had very comfortable beds, and spacious closets. The living room couch was perfect for enjoying the large screen TV. Everything was clean. The kitchen, although minimally stocked with cooking pots/pans, had all we really needed for our stay. We never did find washcloths and kitchen towels, although paper towels were provided. We also purchased charcoal and utilized the community grill at the playground area. There were grilling utensils in the kitchen. We used the washer/dryer several times.
The pool area was a short walk from the town home. It was wonderful! It was aesthetically pleasing with the surrounding greenery/landscaping. It had a pretty view of the foothills. The lounge chairs were plentiful and the pool temperature was comfortable. There were also restrooms on site which was convenient with children. The pool was seldom used by others, so we almost always had it to ourselves! Adjacent to the pool was a green area that could be used for the kids to play catch or run around.
The town home community was quiet and safe, and the surrounding area had plentiful sidewalks. One of the greatest assets of this property was the proximity to Deem Hills Recreation Area. It was less than a mile walk and had so much to offer! We frequently went there in the mornings to play Frisbee on the two massive soccer fields. The covered playground area was also very nice. On a couple of occasions we hiked the walking paths up the foothills. Enjoyable!
This Deer Valley property was within a 5 minute drive to a Safeway Grocery. Another 5 minutes, close to the freeway, there was a huge shopping area with a beautiful outdoor mall and movie theater and several more stores and restaurants.
We did have trouble with the temperature in the master bedroom at night. The arrival instructions indicated not to turn the thermostat below 76. It was warm, and the ceiling fan rattled so we often opened the window instead, which helped. We also could never get the cable working in the master bedroom. The arrival instructions also said the green area out the kitchen window, which is shown in the advertisement pictures for walking paths is actually private property, and we were told we would be evicted for playing there. Thus, we went to Deem Hills.
The owner, Lee, was very attentive and easy and cordial to work with! Our damage deposit was quickly refunded. All in all, great vacation!
