About this property

Escape to the Valley of the Sun, Enjoy the Arizona Lifestyle

This enchanting community known as Gold Canyon, Arizona is nestled in the heart of the Superstition and Dinosaur Mountains. The spectacular views, serene atmosphere and close proximity to world-class shopping, entertainment, restaurants and award winning golf courses is a tourist dream come true. What more could anyone ask for?

How about the opportunity to rent a 3100+ sq. ft. 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom Tuscany dream home. This lovely home is situated in a double gated community and is close to all the necessary amenities such as banks, restaurants and grocery stores. It is perfect for couples, families, groups of friends and golfers. This home away from home is beautifully decorated and elegantly furnished. The gourmet kitchen is the heart and soul of this exclusive home. The kitchen boasts granite counter tops, maple cabinetry, oversized pantry and brand new stainless steel appliances. Enjoy a full breakfast at the kitchen table or seat yourself at the island for a quick bite to eat. Whatever your lifestyle - this home is sure to please.

After a hearty meal in the kitchen, the family room invites you to relax in the reclining leather sectional, drinking a cold beverage and watching your favorite show. Perhaps, you prefer to retire to the master bedroom and unwind in the king size bed. For your entertainment, you can watch your favorite program on the 52' flat screen television while lying in bed. Maybe, you would rather soak in the master en suite's Jacuzzi tub or rejuvenate in the double headed shower. The choice is yours.

Doors from the master bedroom lead you to your own private oasis. A pristine private swimming pool with waterfall will be the highlight of your stay. Swim, float and play during those hot Arizona days. At night, sit at one of two patio sets and enjoy the flickering of the lit pool, the tranquil sounds of nature and warm Arizona mountain air. Joke, laugh and converse as you appreciate the ambiance of the fire pit and make memories that last a lifetime.

Execellent Property - We recommend

We found the home beautifully decorated and exquisitely furnished, exactly as the pictures and listing described. The double gated community in Gold Canyon provided a secure and relaxing atmosphere for our month long stay in January 2011. The Superstition Mountains were beautiful and provided spectacular views just outside our front door. We had family and business guests visit us and they were very impressed with the amenities of this home. We were in close proximity to shopping, entertainment, restaurants, hiking trails and award winning golf courses.

This Vacay was the best!!!!

This beautiful home was all it claimed to be and more. The owner met us upon our arrival, provided us with every possible instruction, from where he stored the pool toys to how to use the wi-fi and left us with his phone number should we have questions later. We have visited the area for the last 10 years and this visit was by far the most pleasant. If anyone is even considering a visit to the valley of the sun, then I highly recommend you choose this rental. you'll be wishing you could stay forever.Thank you Michael and Sonia for sharing your beautiful "palace".

Our Family Get-together/Wedding Vacation

Our stay at your beautiful home was spectacular! Our family gatherings are rare these days, but we managed to get everyone in one place for a very special occasion and had a wonderful time. Upon entering your home, everyone exclaimed how the photographs did not do it justice! The heated pool was a hit as was the well-equipped kitchen in which phenomenal breakfasts were prepared. Our experience was everything we had hoped it would be and more.............the family thinks we should do this every year!! The home, the community, the views ~ all as promised. Thank you so very much.

Thank-you Rolayne for your kind words. Our Family get togethers are few and far between too. So when we do get together, it is important for us to find special places where we can create fond memories. We are glad that you found our home such a place. Thanks again for your kind review, we hope that you and your family will come back soon! Sincerely Mike and Sonia Krause

IF YOU WANT TO SEE PHEONIX THIS IS THE ULTIMATE PLACE TO STAY!

When we walked in to this beautiful home away from home we gasped at the place. This home is spectacular in every way possible. Roomy and luxurious! Its a very quiet neighborhood so peaceful night reading out on the deck was great. Lots of rooms for guest and this well maintained property is everything you could ask for in a vacation. Views all around, with close shopping for groceries, etc. And only a few minutes drive to Superstition Mall if you love to shop! In fact its easy to get around using the freeways to just about anywhere. The family that owns this house are so lovely and take alot of pride in making it comfortable for guests. I highly recommend this as a vacation home!! Hand down!

Why they chose this property

We have enjoyed visiting the Phoenix area for the past 30 years. Each time we come it gets better and better!

What makes this property unique

Imagine waking up and sitting by your own private swimming pool enjoying your first cup of coffee. The only difficult thing for you to do is, to figure out plans for the rest of your day while you relax and sit back. Or maybe its time spent with family enjoying your private oasis. Golfing and hiking are less than 5 minutes away and many options for fine dining is only 15 minutes away.
