Perfect home for a family gathering

We had 3 couples a 5 yo and a baby staying in Joel’s home over Easter. It was perfect for our group visiting my Nana in Rio Verde and needing more space. Great patio and kitchen/living area to hang out. Joel was quick to communicate and answer my questions would rent from him again.

Beautiful property that perfectly met our needs. We were in town for a wedding and this place was perfect for my family. Great location and clean. Had some trouble with the thermostat but that was about it. Thank you!

Response from VrboOwner on 22 November 2023
Thanks for staying with us and providing your feedback. Our goal is always a 5-Star stay and we appreciate the opportunity to resolve any issues during ones stay. In this situation, the Google Nest thermostat batteries went dead and could have easily been replaced as the Host is just a few miles away. We look forward to more amazing 5-Star stays!

Great stay in Rio Verde

This is the second time we have stayed in this property. My only "complaint" is that it is not available next year at the time that we need it! I'm sure another lucky group will enjoy their stay.

Wonderful! 5*

We spent 3 weeks in this lovely home. It was so comfortable, clean and spacious. In a very quiet location. Having access to the beautiful heated pool and tennis/pickleball courts was great! Joel was a great help anytime we need to ask him anything and he always responded very quickly. We will definitely be back!

Tranquil

Rural, quiet neighborhood on the golf course with access to a beautiful pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball. We were able to walk to a little coffee shop that serves simple breakfast and lunch. Many communities to explore and hikes nearby. The outdoor space was our favorite amenity. Javelina, coyotes, cardinals and many others birds right in the back yard.
