This was probably the most well-stocked VRBO we’ve ever experienced! It was so easy to cook meals, enjoy the pool with kids (plenty of floaties and toys), and there were tons of towels and extra blankets! We would definitely book here again. It was a great stay!

Amazing house!

Our entire family enjoyed our 5 day stay in this home. The house was decorated very nicely, beds were comfortable, kitchen was fully equipped and the pool and game room were lots of fun. We didn’t realize there would be a safety gate around the pool but were happy it was there as our 2 yr old grandson was obsessed with the pool. We have stayed at many houses in AZ and this house exceeded our expectations and is by far one of the better homes we’ve stayed at. Definitely recommend!

Loved it

Booked this house for the location to everything. Didn't need to rent a car. Ubers were cheap. Store is a mile away. We seriously walked a few times. Pool is perfect! Who ever gets the house after us has a full tank for the gas grill lol you're welcome. Seriously. Loved this house and will book it again next time we are in Phoenix. Also hiking at south mountain was easy and beautiful.

Nice summer home

This house was perfect for me and my family the playground w/ swings in the back kept the kids occupied the whole time (plus the shed had extras like scooters and yard games) the rooms were beautifully decorated and spaced perfectly with more than enough TVs and seating for everyone to be more than comfortable we will absolutely be booking this home again when the weather warms up so we have a chance in enjoying the pool

Nice property!

We stayed at this house with some friends! We loved that there was 2 living room areas, plenty of room for all of us! The pool was fantastic, the kids loved it! The way we drove to the property took us through a rough looking part of town which made us a little nervous but once we turned down the street the house was on it was just fine. All in all it was a nice place to stay.
