Great find

Though a little spendy, this property was well worth it! Beautiful location overlooking the Columbia River (only a 5 minute walk to the river with a very clean beach. Water was warm and crystal clear. House was very clean, modern, spacious and well stocked. Swimming pool was larger than we expected. Never used the hot tub but imagine it's great on a cold winter day. Patio area was well shielded from the wind and always had a shaded area available. We definitely plan to return.

Beautiful home and view. From the moment we walked in the front door, we enjoyed the view. The pool and hot tub were a big bonus. Communication with the owner is top notch. We plan to book again as our kids (adults) were not able to join this trip.

Nice, spacious, and fun place to stay

Enjoyed our stay very much. Nice and spacious accommodations and plenty of fun amenities. Host was helpful and responsive. Instructions were easy to follow. A lot of bugs in that area that were hard to keep outside - so would recommend some traps around the property, but wasn’t a big issue either.

Excellent vacation rental

We agree with the other stellar reviews. This is a very well designed house with nice material finishes. Very clean -- no surprises. Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of space for everyone. Our group of 11-12 people fit here very well. 3 bathrooms so there was enough privacy for all. Speaking of bathrooms, there is really beautiful stone work in the master suite bathroom. Huge shower! The backyard faces west with 180 degree view towards the Columbia river, and tall hills that provide a majestic backdrop for your stay. There are paths and stairs that lead down to the water, and trails for walking and running. The pool area is fantastic. Wonderful pool! There are many fruit trees in the front yard bearing a ton of peaches so if you come in August, you can grab a fresh peach! The front yard is a great place to play catch or let the kids run around. We would return to this place. 5/5 Nicely done!

Great pool

We had a very nice vacation at this home. The pool and hot tub are wonderful. There are a lot of flies so some fly paper around the doors and extra swatters would have been nice. The kitchen was dirty when we arrived. The cleaners seemed to be rushed and missed several things. The owners did respond and had the cleaner bring over some dish soap and sponge which made it so I could clean the major areas. We were happy they responded and did try to help make it better. Overall it was a nice stay.

Amazing family staycation

We rented this property as a getaway for my family, my parents, and sister's family. (6 adults, 8yr old, 6yr old and 18 month old). We chose the property for the layout and private pool. It did not disappoint! The rambler layout was great for multiple families. In the main area of the house, a master (with huge bathroom and shower), guest bedroom, and bunk room that my kids loved. The beds were all comfortable. Down the hall in the other part of the house is an area perfect for my parents, a guest room, bath, and bar/living area. The kitchen/living is open and spacious. We appreciated the large dining table that fit all of us. The large kitchen island was perfect to set out all of our snacks and for food prep. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans/utensils and condiments. The pool/yard was perfect. The pool starts shallow (3ft I believe) then dips down to 8ft. There is a little ledge even in the deep end that my kids could stand on then dive down. The pool deck was great for lounging. The pool was heated and felt warm, even on a cloudy day. The pool cover was easy to operate. We also enjoyed using the hot tub. The view is an added bonus. It was great to sit out on the deck or look out the big glass doors at the river and hills. There is a walking path along the river just outside the door. My husband also did the very short walk down to the river to fish multiple times a day. There is a fantastic neighborhood park 0.5miles down the road we walked to with a great play structure, swings, slide, and open areas to run. Large neighborhood to walk/run in the mornings. Gas station and little store/restaurant also within a mile but we didn't need to leave the property. Lots of flies/bugs common to dessert aire but we appreciated the electronic fly swatter to get after them in the evening. Anna, the host is extremely responsive and helpful. We felt like we found such a great private retreat and had a great vacation. Thank you!

Amazing getaway

We had such an amazing time staying here! Everything about the home was gorgeous - the view of the river, the amazing pool, the layout. It has been such a long time since our family was able to get away and this getaway is just what we needed. We spent most of the day in and out of the pool and walking the lovely trail right in front of the house. My two boys talked about the pool and how amazing it was our entire drive bike (shallow enough on one end for my 5-year-old to stand up and safely play and deep enough in the other end for my 8-year-old to dive down and play around). The views of the river are incredible and even when we weren’t in the pool or hot tub we found ourselves out on the deck. Ana was super responsive to whatever questions I had as well. Everything was just perfect and we can’t wait to come again!

Amazing in every way!

Robert and Ana are some of the best hosts we've had the privilege of renting from. Their lovely home is modern, clean, spacious and with all the amenities you can think of. They were always easy to communicate with and were quick to accommodate a few special requests. Our kids absolutely loved the heated swimming pool and the outdoor area. At the end of each day, my wife and I looked forward to the hot tub with a picture-perfect view of the Columbia River. Nearby are food markets, a lovely vineyard that we visited, great parks and activities such as water sports and fishing. Definitley looking forward to staying again in the future.

Why they chose this property

Desert Aire is located about 18 miles south of Interstate 90, nestled next to the majestic Columbia River. It has some of the highest temperatures in Washington during the summer and is one of the driest places in the state. Desert Aire is located in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, but truly has some of the best weather in the entire state.
