Thank you for the pawsitively charming review! 🐾 We're delighted you had a great stay with your furry children. Can't wait to welcome you all back for another delightful visit!

We're thrilled to hear that you found the house "super cute and very clean." Your mention about the location to downtown being perfect and the abundance of bars and restaurants made our day! We appreciate you, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another amazing stay!

We’re so happy to hear “the completely fenced in yard was wonderful” and that even your pup felt right at home! Sounds like your stay had a little bit of everything—birthday cake, games, great food, and family fun. We’d love to have you back for the next celebration!

“ The place was decorated so cute and great location for walking to downtown Gilbert.” Awwww thank you, Shannon! This is so nice. It is so joyful to us to know you had a good time at the Purple Prickly Pear house and hope you’ll come back to see us in the future.

"Seriously one of the best VRBO's we have stayed at!" Wow, Patrick, THANK YOU. This is such a special message for us. Thank you for being a light in the world with your amazing outlook, we are so thankful you had a great stay. Needless to say, we can't wait for you to come back to see us!

"Place was great. We really enjoyed it" Yay, Kate! We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay with us, and so glad you had a good time coming back to Gilbert. You are welcome back any time!

“ We are looking forward to our next trip and will definitely rebook.” Seriously, nothing makes us happier than to hear a guest’s stay was so good that next time they’re in town, they will be rebooking. Amazing, thank you!!!

“ The property was in easy walking distance to a lot of restaurants.” That’s one of our favorite intangible things about the “house”. Step out of the door, put a few feet in front of the other, and boom! You’re enjoying dozens of great restaurants and bars. Love this, thanks for the great review!

"The location was excellent: within walking distance of Downtown Gilbert." Thank you so much for this awesome review, we are so glad you enjoyed the stay and your friends and family loved the place too. We hope you'll come back to see us again some day!

Gary, thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We're thrilled you found our house amazing and enjoyed the brand new feel. "The house is amazing, everything looks brand new." - Your words made our day! We're delighted you had a blast relaxing in the great backyard and playing cornhole. It's awesome to hear you loved the location and the unique outdoor fireplace. We strive to make everything just right for our guests! Can't wait to host you again for more memorable moments in downtown Gilbert!

Renee, it was an absolute pleasure hosting you at our home in Downtown Gilbert. We are so thrilled you enjoyed your stay. We work hard to ensure guests have a safe, clean, comfortable home to make lifelong memories in, and thankful you were able to do that. We are sorry you may not have experienced the cowboy trough pool as intended. Judging by your review, and without prior communication with us about your concerns, we regret we weren’t able to inform you that if you had looked closer, the pool is indeed a 10’ metal cow trough designed for cattle to drink from. We simply lined the metal pool with a blue liner to protect it from the chlorine. We discovered bare metal + chlorine = rust, and didn’t want our guests to experience rusty water, naturally. We can’t wait for you to come back and visit and next time, look closer and perhaps grab a brew & sit in the lined, metal pool we have for guests to enjoy. We promise, you’ll dig it!

Karli, we are sorry to learn that you had not had an opportunity to read through our listing before or after booking, in which we made a note: “While we would LOVE to host your family and friends, you should know that there is a railroad directly behind the Prickly Pear House with a live train. We believe it adds charm as it's part of our local heritage. However, if an occasional train is an inconvenience to you, PLEASE do not book this property.” Our pool is not listed as heated, but we know there are a lot of amenities on the amenity list, so it is hard to read through them all. We completely understand, and we'll try to communicate that redundantly in our messaging to ensure no one misses that as well going forward. To future guests, Great news! Our toilets were inspected by a professional plumber today, and all bathrooms were working perfectly. You have complete control over the thermostat; there are no locks on the Nest thermostat, and you're welcome to adjust to any temperature you desire. Regarding the couch stain, the guest spilled something all over the couch & our cleaners could not remove the unknown stain and unfortunately misunderstood the situation. Rest assured, they, as well as you, have damage protection insurance that we pay for, so you’d never be contacted about accidental damages. We handle and never involve our cherished guests, and of course, we do not charge our guests either. We understand accidents happen. We have always been so grateful for all of the kind travelers that have stayed with us & will continue to offer a clean, safe, beautiful home for you to enjoy while visiting gorgeous Gilbert, Arizona. See you soon!

Probably the best review ever, and to start it with "It’s been 10 days since our stay and I still can not stop smiling." Well, now WE are the ones smiling ear-to-ear. You have totally made our day, wow Tanara, we are grateful for you!!!!

"You will be doing yourself a disservice if you pass up on this property." HOW COOL IS THIS? Thank you Carlos, wow! We are so thankful you had a great time at the Purple Prickly Pear and can't wait for the opportunity to see you again.

"We had a great time and the location can't be beat!" Thank you for this, you are such an awesome person. We pray you'll have the opportunity to come back next year and see us again.

"Hosts were beyond helpful" Diana, you made our day. This is what we pray we can be and your words have touched our hearts. Thank you for choosing us, we hope you'll come back soon.
