Our group of 15 stayed at the property over memorial day weekend. House was extremely clean and well stocked with anything we needed. Very close to shopping so grecery trips were very quick. Pamela was a wonderfull and responsive host, and answered all questions promptly. Game room was a hit with the smaller kids, and the lounge areas were perfect for the rest. We highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a family getaway.

Review for VRBO. OK to post? We absolutely loved staying in this well-appointed house! It was the perfect quiet retreat for a family vacation. Lots for the kids to do and plenty of space for everyone to have somewhere to go to quietly relax. The kids were in heaven with the golf, basketball, swing set, pool, and game room. The adults loved the hammock, hot tub, and all the sitting areas, not to mention the outdoor tables, grill, and lounge chairs. Everything was thoughtfully organized and equipped so that we had everything we needed and didn’t need to worry about how to cook or prepare anything. We could do laundry and take care of everyone without stressing out, which is just how vacation should be! The scenery, the weather, the local birds (especially the Gila woodpeckers and the Gabel’s quails), and the location were just perfect. The stars were amazing. It was so quiet and beautiful. Pamela was unfailingly helpful, responsive, and communicative: a perfect host. She, and the house, made our trip smooth and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely incredible!! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience or vacation getaway! The house is stunning, so many things to do, amazing views, peaceful, fun and relaxing. Our group ranged from 1 years old to 40's and everyone had a blast. Pam was the best host we've had! We enjoyed our trip so much, we are already talking about booking again!

Perfect family vacation spot

My family stayed her for my niece’s first vacation. The house is very baby and family friendly with everything you would need for kids. The family that owns the house is super nice and easy to communicate with. Everyone enjoyed their stay here!

Everyone so enjoyed the pool and outdoor seating area, especially the golf area and the games.

Family get away

Great house for our family vacation. 6 bedrooms gave every couple their own room. 4 full bathrooms was great. Game room was awesome. The putting green was a family hit as was the pool. Sadly our weather was only optimal for the pool 3 of the 7 days. 3 portacribs were there which was good for babies.

Awesome stay

We came down for our family reunion. If I could rate the stay it would be a 10!! House was awesome!! I would recommend this home to everyone. Location was close to everything. If you like golf this is the place to stay. TPC Scottsdale only about 30 min away along with many more golf courses. There is a lot of family things to do. We look forward to coming back soon!!!

Beyond Expectations

The house, pools and amenities were beyond what we expected. My teenage grandchildren very much enjoyed the game room, the pools, golf area, basketball hoops, especially the hoop by the pool. There were 11 of us and we all slept in comfortable large, clean beds. Not being fond of spiders or insects, I was amazed that I never saw any! Having so many to feed, we ate in most of the time and found everything we needed to do so. We all had so much fun and would love to vacation there again.

A 5-Star Resort

The house is EXACTLY as it shows in the pictures. It is beautiful, roomy, fully decorated (with no personal pictures and knickknacks around—a plus), and has lots of unique spots to work, hide, sun, play, and more. The game room was a huge hit. Grandma beat us at skeeball - how we do not really know.The beds are very comfortable, and the pillows, sheets, and towels are all good. The pool and hot tub are great.The neighbor is quiet and fun to walk around (albeit a little hilly). Shops and restaurants are very close.From our initial contact with the owner/managers, last- all communication was professional, clear, and helpful.This is a top-level rental property. With family in the areas - we will return.

Once you visit you will not want to ever leave!

The pictures do not do it justice! It was one of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen! Pam was always very personable, friendly and quick to offer guidance for things to do in the area or if I had any questions. Don't let this one pass you by if you have an opportunity to book. The pool area was amazing and relaxing. There were balconies everywhere to enjoy a sunrise or sunset. We went with a family of 6 adults and 3 kids and we had plenty of things to do around the home together. There was also more than enough space for us to enjoy some alone or quiet time. Thank you again Pam for your wonderful hospitality! You made me feel like a "friend" when we communicated. I hope to one day get to see your other beautiful homes.

Holiday 2022

The house is even better than in the pictures. Lots of outdoor seating areas so you can always see a sunrise or sunset. Indoor activities are plentiful. Had an issue and the owners responded promptly and made sure all was resolved.
