I cannot begin to explain how much we all felt so at ease and relaxed once we walked through the door from the carport into the magical kitchen area. Upon our arrival we had to leave our bags and immediately tour the home. At one point, I remember bursting with laughter because we seemed to lose one another while touring the guest wing!
We found that even though the temperatures were in the upper 90’s and seemed to exceed 100 during the afternoons, we spent most of our time outside on the patio, or in the dreamy pool. We had family from the Pittsburgh area join us and while they do have mountains in PA, they have never experienced anything like the southern Arizona desert. Words escaped all of us having had the amazing experience of watching the sunset behind the west mountains, just to wake from our slumber and get lost in the sunrise over the east side of the mountains.
While there were just 4 of us staying in de Anza, with the permission of the homeowner, we were able to host a post-birthday celebration in which we had 10 guests from the Green Valley area. I cannot imagine a more beautiful custom built home that accommodates so many people. Hacienda de Anza is outstanding and so well-equipped with anything one would need. From the gourmet kitchen with several choices of dishes and flatware, state of the art appliances, the amazing gas range, to the soft bath towels and huge snuggly beach towels to the overwhelming variety of placemats, and linen napkins, there really is not one detail the homeowners missed with this home!
Hacienda de Anza is amazing and I believe it attributed to the most wonderful time we had during our vacation! Katherine’s (homeowner) attentiveness was paramount, answering our many questions prior to our arrival and following up after our departure to ensure our stay was most excellent. As well, de Anza’s caretakers were incredibly helpful.
We have rented several homes that we found on the VRBO website and it is with pleasure that I submit this review. I can certainly tell you, you will not be disappointed in the least! So serene and magical, there simply cannot be a more fabulous oasis in the desert than de Anza!
