Arizona Love

The property was beautuful and clean. Overall I give it a strong 4 out of 5 stars. The house and neighborhood was beautiful. The Jacuzzi was not working and both the pool and Jacuzzi were dirty. I did ask if them if they had something there, they said yes so I planned accordingly and it was not there when we got there but everything still worked out. We did enjoy our stay, it was a beautiful weekend!

Disappointed

The house was good, not super clean. But lots of room and fun games to keep kids busy. The pool and hot tub were extremely dirty when we checked in and we couldn’t get someone out to clean it or turn it in until late the next day. Which was very disappointing considering the only reason we got the house was for the pool and hot tub. Also, the hot tub was completely broken and the owner knew that but didn’t take it off the listing. Paid a lot of money for broken stuff.
