We had a great stay at the Prickly Pear. We picked it due to its proximity to downtown and it was exactly what we wanted. You can tell the hosts care deeply about a good guest experience. The house is so comfortable, cute, and they even had Christmas decorations up as we were there the week prior to the holiday. Next trip to Gilbert, we will be staying there again.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The kids had a lot of fun playing at the game table and we appreciated the televisions in every room. The kitchen was beautiful and well appointed. I was even able to bake a birthday cake during our stay. We brought our dog along and he was very comfortable. The completely fenced in yard was wonderful. We were happy to be within walking distance to all the great restaurants downtown. We will definitely stay again!

Great

The location was excellent: within walking distance of Downtown Gilbert. The remodel of the property was fabulous. It got rave reviews from all that saw to. The bride stayed with me the night before her wedding which was great. The only negative was the train noise but that was tolerable. Overall a great place (would love the appliances in my house)!

Amazing Stay In Gilbert

The house is amazing, everything looks brand new. Great back yard to relax, played a lot of cornhole. Location is awesome, couple block walk to multiple restaurants/bars in downtown Gilbert. Plenty of parking in downtown Gilbert as well if you're not up for a short walk. We didn't have time to use the outdoor fireplace but it is a great feature, not your typical small circular pit. It is like everything in this house, done right!

"Water Trough" and firewood.

The property was very clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the grass and covered patio. One suggestion is to have a few pieces of firewood for your guests and where to purchase more. A wine opener would have been nice too. The water trough is a blow-up, rubber pool that barely serves a purpose.

The truth behind the property

It is important to understand the problems that we encountered with their property. We post this not to bash, but to let other families know what to expect. 1. The toilet in the primary bedroom didn’t work or flush. 2. The lights under the bed in the kids bedroom don’t work. 3. The thermostat was on a “eco schedule” so every night it started heating the house to 75 degrees. My husband was able to reset the nest thermostat. 4. The miniature trough in the back yard is more of an ice bath. We weren’t expecting a hot tub, but definitely not something kids and play in during winter months. 5. And the most frustrating thing about the property were the trains. This train tracks are LITERALLY 20 yards from the back of the house. The train passes by the house around 5 times a day. Including 2-3:00 in the morning. Our kids were woken up during nap times, and during the middle of the night at the trains honked their horns as they drove by. In regards to the management: They claim we did a liquid stain on a couch cushion. Something a carpet cleaning company could easily resolve . They instead of cleaning the cushion, or taking the liner off and washing it, LIED and said that the entire couch needed to be replaced. A $600 stain! Run away! And stay away from this property. They are in for a quick buck.

Thrilled with our Experience!

It’s been 10 days since our stay and I still can not stop smiling. My mom and my Aunt were visiting Arizona for the first time and I wanted to give them an amazing experience. I was drawn in by the beautiful photos in the listing. I loved the desert theme and thought this might make their visit more of an adventure. Alison and Jason really thought of every little detail when preparing this property for guests. They were so welcoming and easy to reach for random questions as needed. My expectations were exceeded and then some. Yours will be too! We hope we can make it back later in the year! So grateful we found the Purple Prickly Pear!!

Loved it!

This was my first time actually booking a Vrbo property for my family. Wow was it amazing. The communication with the host was outstanding and very attentive to our needs. Communication was great answered all questions in a timely manner. The house itself was amazing. Warm on arrival clean and very attractive. No detail was overlooked. Walking distance to a few local restaurants. Highly recommended. You will be doing yourself a disservice if you pass up on this property. Cant wait to book again in the summer!!
