This house was a 6-week getaway from Midwest winter and became our own private resort and sanctuary. The home was spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. The floor to ceiling windows filled the house with tons of natural light. We enjoyed the beautiful pool and spa, the bocce court, ping pong table, firepits and all of the outdoor living space.
The homeowners were friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. The house was very clean overall, but we gave 4 stars for cleanliness because the kitchen needed additional attention. There were food spills in the fridge and some dirty dishes in the cabinets and drawers. This was a minor issue that we easily took care of ourselves.
The location of the house was great. It was walking distance to El Paseo (which we loved), although the street was a little on the busy side for walks with the dogs. There was some traffic noise, but it was only really noticeable when we were outside. The location was also close to many hiking trails.
We thoroughly enjoyed our desert home away from home and would absolutely rent this house again.
