Private Mini Resort
Beautiful outdoor space transforms this otherwise bland and small home. If you enjoy outdoor living, this is a great fit for you. The main bedroom is spacious. The other two bedrooms are quite small. The twin bed is child size with a worn out mattress. Pantry needs cleaning, but otherwise home is clean and ready. Neighbors are not friendly to this rental.

Great pool, okay house
We spent a week here during spring break and while it was okay, I do feel like I should leave a review. We paid more for this rental than we ever have and we come to AZ every year on break. The selling points for this house were the photos and the backyard. The pool was great and the backyard was private and gorgeous. The pictures of the house no longer represent the accuracy of what it looks like. The carpets were so stained and brown, and had huge waves as if they were not laid properly. The rugs on top of the carpets were stained or torn. The bedroom with the bunkbed is no longer a bunkbed, it’s just a bed in a room with a tv. The master bed had huge dips on the side which made you roll into a divot. Sleeping here for a week was uncomfortable. With professional photos and a title of “Amazing… Resort… Entertaining…” we really thought we were getting a pristine home, and it just felt a little misleading. Overall, I’m leaving this review so people can consider whether this is the right house. If you plan to stay outside and enjoy the backyard much of the time it will be a great stay. If you’re looking for a gorgeous home, there might be other choices.

Awesome!!
The backyard is so awesome it’s hard to explain. My grandkids enjoyed the pool and the adults enjoyed the scenery and the outdoor grill and pergola. Comfortable accommodations throughout. Nice touch with little snacks upon arrival and K cups so we could have morning coffee! We are already planning to stay here next year!!
