Super cute home in great neighborhood

We had a great stay in this super cute home in a gated community. We felt safe and our dog enjoyed just chilling in the backyard. The owner was very pleasant and easy to deal with. They even left little treats for both my husband and I and our pup. Everything you need is close by. Lots of trails in the area. We would definitely stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property totally fit our needs and we were very comfortable there. This home has an eclectic aesthetic that is perfection. The yard was our favorite part; we loved to sit outside and watch the yard light up in the evening.

Nice back yard!

The house had everything you needed. It was a bit dark inside but comfortable. We wished the other bedroom was bigger as there were two adults who both wanted the larger bedroom. Alll in all we enjoyed our stay there.

Much needed serenity

Our vacation was complete with the peaceful and welcoming surrounds of this home. We admired the beautiful decor in the midst of the beautiful Superstitions. Thank you for giving us an oasis of serenity after a very stressful year.

Relaxation and Forever Memories

Bright and beautiful, with pops of colors in all the right places, this home was EXACTLY what my husband and I needed to breathe a deep sigh of relief and remember again what it means to live well. First, let me begin with the garden. I'm not sure if they are professional decorators or gardeners or what! But what I DO know, is they built a place to delight all five senses. I found myself letting my eyes wander for hours among the plants and cacti, flowers and pots! The trickling of water and wind chimes offered a meditative feel, while the sun warmed our skin through the fun sun shades! The warm air smelled like fresh baked earth, which we found so amazing and the BBQ works like a CHARM...We didn't think it could get any better... until.. THAT SUNSET set ablaze to the sky in a perfect crescendo to our outdoor delight. BRAVO, AZ! The inside was a perfect mixture of classic and modern. They did such a good job making it all flow. We love an open layout where my niece could crawl on the soft clean carpet while we prepared meals and beverages. The love and attention to this home is apparent in each and every room. The master suite was especially comfortable and inviting for afternoon naps; the bed was cosy and sheets so soft and divine. My husband even used the office to do some work while we were there. Wifi was easy to find and connect. TV and stereo were totally usable. All in all, if you're looking for a home away from home where you can unwind and relax, this is your place.
