Thanks Melissa. It was a pleasure meeting you. This is a beautiful property. If you’re looking for privacy and solitude, this is the pick for you. We enjoyed quiet time by the pool. Taking a refreshing dip. Also seeing various wildlife while enjoying the quiet. We will definitely be recommending this to friends and will be back ourselves at some point.

We were looking for a quiet vacation spot to get some quality R&R and this property delivered! We enjoyed hiking each morning (walking distance to trails) and sitting by the pool each afternoon! It was a short car ride to any food/grocery we needed. Melissa was superb to work with! Highly recommend!

Melissa was very responsive and friendly. Villa De Paz was delightfully tranquil with an amazing pool, spa, and fire pit with a gorgeous view of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. The location was close to everything we needed and we felt very safe. I can’t wait to visit again!

The property was amazing. The casita was cozy and had everything we needed to cook simple meals and even do a little laundry. The pool was the highlight of our stay and such a welcome break from the cold and rainy Pacific Northwest winter. The mountains were a lovely backdrop. Melissa was a wonderful host. She was responsive to questions and even checked in midway through our 10 day stay to see if we needed anything.Truly a 100 out of 10 stay. We hope to return next winter.

It is difficult to put into words just how special Melissa’s property is. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we had escaped to our own private resort in the Arizona desert.The property is tranquil, romantic, incredibly private, and absolutely beautiful. The mountain views, pool, spa, firepit, and peaceful surroundings were everything we hoped for, but it was the attention to detail that really made the experience exceptional. Everything felt thoughtfully designed and cared for, with all the comforts of home while still feeling like a high-end getaway.Regina and I kept saying that it felt like we were on a second honeymoon. We felt completely taken care of, yet at the same time had the privacy and seclusion to simply disappear from the world for a few days and enjoy being together.Melissa has created something truly special here. The pictures are beautiful, but they honestly cannot capture the feeling of actually being there.And one small but important detail: the coffee hit just right every single morning while looking out at those mountains. We left feeling relaxed, grateful, and genuinely sad to leave. If we find ourselves back in Arizona, we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to stay here again.Thank you, Melissa, for sharing such an incredible place with us.Robb & Regina

This property is beyond beautiful! Very secluded you can see and hear nature but yet within 2 miles of restaurants, shopping and grocery stores! Great areas for walking.
