Perfect Family Getaway!

This home was the perfect getaway for our family of 4! The kiddos each had their own room and the trundle bed was super fun! This home has all that you would need for your stay - just bring yourself and suitcase! You’re very close to downtown Fountain Hills - near all of the shops, restaurants and parks. Loved the tranquility and quietness of the neighborhood and home. The backyard is so relaxing! The pool is beautiful but the water is still a bit chilly in late March/April to swim. We loved our stay and would love to come back next year!

Edgeworth Fountain Hills

We just finished our second season at Marijo's house in Fountain Hills. Both times we had a clean, comfortable and adequately spacious house for our three week stay. Everything worked and the house was well appointed with kitchen ware and most other supplies (we had to purchase soap and tp).The pool is a definite asset.Enjoy!!The only downside is an immediate neighbor who is not the best external housekeeper. They were not problematic and stayed to themselves. Their house is not maintained in the same manner as the rest of the neighborhood - which is nicely cared for.

Great house…,but NOT a Heated pool as advertised

House was lovely and great space for us. We were all very disappointed that the pool was actually not a heated pool and couldn’t use. Before we even arrived, we were notified that there was a quick turn around needed on the day we checked out because new people were coming in that day. We felt very pushed out before we even arrived for our work and vacation with family. I was messaged about 6-7 times asking when we would be out for the cleaners to come in?!

Response from VrboOwner on 10 February 2025
It clearly listed on the VRBO advertisement that the pool is not heated. This is peak season and we have a full calendar check in and check outs I was merely trying to find out the exact time for checkout. Nobody was rushing them the guest didn’t want to let me know what time they were checking out. Good luck getting a 3 bedroom 3 bath house at this rate in peak season.

So peaceful, but near everything

The weather was especially beautiful this year, but even with the last two days being rainy, it was a wonderful time for us. We’ve never seen so much green or so many flowers in the area at this time of year. The birds were especially active this year and so much fun. Sitting outside in such a quiet, peaceful location is so good, and yet all the restaurants, shopping and activities are close by. Marijo is very responsive should any difficulty arise, and we know we can contact her with any questions, yet she allows us our privacy and the feeling that Edgeworth House is a home away from home. We are looking forward to visiting again next year.

I got bug bites on day five of my stay. I assumed they were bedbugs at the time. The host got pest control to look into it after we left and the host said that pest control said they could not find any bedbugs. Regardless I definitely got some kind of itchy red spots all over while I was there. The day after we left, there were no new spots and the bites I had stopped being itchy. Did not look as if the property is looked over for cleanliness between guests. There were quite a few dead bugs under the bed in the master bedroom. Fridge had food and drink in it when we arrived; I assume from previous guests. When I booked this property in September and while we were staying at the property, the Pool description definitely said heated (even though the description now says non-heated).In general the host was abrupt, very disrespectful and not easy to work with. Due to the bug bites, we left with two nights left on our stay. I thought it was not unreasonable to ask the host for a refund, this was the response I got: “Thomas As I told you I had a client in the house for a long period of time prior to you checking in there were no issues. I had my pest control company go over and look at the entire house and there is no bed bugs. That inspection was billed to 150.00 so I will not be refunding any of the money for the rent and feel like you should pay the payment for the visit from the pest control visit.”

Response from VrboOwner on 18 December 2025
Thank you for your message. As discussed during your stay, the listing clearly states that the pool is not heated, which was also confirmed during our phone conversation on day two. You notified me two days prior to checkout that you would be leaving early, and no issues were mentioned at that time. After checkout, you reported possible bed bug bites. I take such concerns seriously and immediately had a licensed exterminator inspect the home. The inspection found no evidence of bed bugs, and prior guests reported no issues. The property has a lush outdoor space, and this time of year mosquitoes can be present; outdoor candles are provided for guest comfort. Based on the inspection results, a refund is not warranted. Thank you for bringing your concern to my attention.
