Welcome to our Desert Canyon Retreat! Relax and recharge at this stylish desert retreat bordering the South Phoenix Mountains. Enjoy sunsets from the private heated pool, dine outdoors, or unwind with a few putts on the backyard green. Inside, you’ll find a fully updated kitchen, new furnishings, and plenty of entertainment with a pool table and ping pong. Just 15 miles from PHX Airport, this peaceful home offers all the comforts you need for an extended stay of 30+ days.

We will be available via phone/text anytime. We have a local team that can take care of any unexpected issues that may pop up during your stay.

Desert Canyon Retreat is located in the Ahwatukee Foothills. Once referred to as the "world's largest cul-de-sac" because of its quiet neighborhood feel. Accessibility to the Ahwatukee Foothills was greatly improved with the introduction of the South Mountain Freeway in 2019 (Loop 202) which greatly reduced commute times. Now commuting anywhere in the greater Phoenix area is a breeze, just jump on your closest onramp and you're on your way.

The freeway improved the accessibility, but it doesn't take away from the quiet neighborhood feel.

Entire space plus amenities is included in this rental. Guests have access to all areas of the house and property except a few cabinets in the laundry room and garage and an outdoor storage shed which holds owner's property.

OUTSIDE: Enjoy incredible sunset views over the desert hills from the spacious backyard complete with a heated pool. The outdoor dining area has seating for up to eight guests and has a propane grill. Catch up on great conversations in the lounge chairs and additional poolside seating. Have fun on the putting green or a game of corn hole.

KITCHEN & DINING ROOM: Spacious kitchen is updated and fully equipped. Dining table seats eight and has an extension to accommodate additional seats. Highchair and booster seat provided.

LIVING AREAS: The living room overlooking the patio and pool area has seating for seven with a reclining sofa, love seat, and additional chairs. 65" smart TV is viewable from living room, dining room and kitchen areas. The additional separate sitting area is a quiet space with seating for three.

GAME ROOM: Complete with a pool table, barstool seating and a 55" smart TV. There is a guitar sitting in the corner just waiting for someone who can play to pick it up!

MASTER BEDROOM has a king size bed w/ memory foam mattress, 55' smart TV, and a quiet reading nook w/ chase lounge. Master bathroom with walk-in closet. Additional bathroom with direct access to the patio.

- 2nd BEDROOM: King size bed w/ memory foam mattress

- 3rd BEDROOM: Twin XL over Queen bunk bed, both memory foam mattresses

- 4th BEDROOM: Queen size bed w/ memory foam mattress

Traveling with a baby or toddler? No need to pack all the essentials as we provide a pack & play w/ mattress and sheets, a high chair, a booster seat, a sound machine with built-in nightlight and a removable bedrail for the bottom bunk.

BATHROOMS: 4 bathrooms, 3 showers, 1 bathtub

GARAGE: Ping pong table can be easily moved for garage parking.

LAUNDRY: Onsite washer and dryer

POOL: The pool is heated with a heat pump installed in 2022 with the water temperature maintained at 85 degrees. The heat pump is somewhat dependent on the ambient temperature, so if daytime and nighttime temperatures are extreme the pump may not be able to maintain the 85 degree set point. This isn't an issue other than during a winter cold-snap.

Activities:

- HIKING & MOUNTAIN BIKING: 4 trailheads within 5 miles leads to over 50 miles of trails in the South Mountain Park and Preserve - great for hiking & biking - well known for the incredible views and landscapes

Desert Canyon Retreat- Awesome retreat!

Celebrated my dad's 95th birthday with family and so enjoyed our stay. My dad of few words said several times how great this place was! Awesome setting next to the foothills with wildlife sightings of coyote, road runners, quails, great horned owl, hummingbirds and more. Clark and Chela owners were great at communicating anticipated needs and immediate response back to any questions. Thumbs up to a great place to stay.

It is a beautiful clean home. I have been on many VRBO vacations but have not seen a more well stocked home! The owners are very responsive and go above and beyond to accommodate you and your needs. Would certainly rent the home again. Highly recommend!

Desert Canyon Oasis Family Vacation. This was a beautiful property in a quiet neighborhood. We rented while on a a business/small vacation week trip. The pool gorgeous and clean- during our 6 day stay, pool guys where there at least twice. Spacious home, great layout, with majority of bedrooms in one end of the home, and the common areas at the other end. I prefer cooking to eating out, and this home was well equipped with cooking/baking essentials. Beds were comfy, everything was spotless, internet worked perfectly and the overall feel of the home/space was one of tranquility. We all agreed that we would return!

Exceptional property.

The house had everything we needed. After a long day of travel, a welcome basket was so appreciated! The homeowners have thoughtful touches throughout that made our family feel completely at home! The heated pool was especially nice in January! Great views and backyard. Location was perfect for us as we visited our son’s family in Ahwatukee. Easy and quick communication and check in. Our favorite rental and we can’t wait to stay here again!

Peaceful and relaxing!

We had a wonder stay in this home. It was clean, well equipped and in a quiet neighborhood. 20 mins from almost everything we wanted to do. We were on coyote watch each morning and had fun watching the humming birds and rabbits along the mountain side. If that’s your thing- bring a pair of binoculars! The pool was very relaxing and had pool floaters with a machine to blow them up! Something that’s been missing from other VRBO’s I’ve stayed at in the past. The pool and the ping pong table were fun as well! We would absolutely stay here again!

Great escape in comfort

This home is actually nicer than the pictures. The owners provide many items to make the stay comfortable and easy. Heated pool, table tennis, putting green, comfy beds, pool towels, kitchen is stocked, bathroom basics….just pack your clothes and relax. We love live the backyard view and there’s plenty of shade and seating. The entire back of the house is windows which take advantage of the view. Close walking & hiking is a bonus! We would stay here again. The only thing that would have made it better was a slightly easier commute to visit out ASU student but 20 minutes wasn’t terrible. Owners are easy to work with and respond quickly. Would recommend.

Perfect Winter Escape

This is the second time our family has stayed at this lovely home, and the second time was just a wonderful as the first. By February, coming from the PNW, we needed warmth, sunshine and a relaxing place to unwinded, and this desert oasis delivers. The home is spacious, comfortable, very clean, beautiful details throughout, and the backyard with its view of the rolling hills and welcoming heated pool and lounges chairs, makes you feel like you are at a resort. The neighborhood is very quiet and great for getting out and exercising, and everything you need is a short drive away. Our hosts, Clark & Chela were awesome, very attentive and have worked to make sure our stay was perfect. We were sad to leave, but look forward to the opportunity to return again soon!

Hard to communicate with owners just online . House was not clean . When we got there someone was still cleaning, but we recleaned it . The shutters were dirty ( we did not clean those ) we cleaned the floors , toilets . Dust clumps were throughout house , behind doors and such . The windows had hand prints all over it . Tile needs replaces around the hot tub area and weeds weeds weeds need to be pulled . Pool shower needs to be grouted and black stuff coming out were it needs grout . Pool shower head needs to be changed it won’t move because of build up . Pool bath cupboard falling off hinges , won’t open . It was just dirty and somewhat rundown and needs attention. The bedding was nice plenty of towels except washcloths , there were 4 , we had 8 ladies . There was a lot of leftovers in the dining cupboards which was nice.
