WHAT TIME IS CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT?
Check-in time is 4 p.m. and check-out is at 11 a.m. Early check-in and late check-out may be available for your reservation.

WILL I NEED TO MEET THE PROPERTY MANAGER TO GET A KEY?
Our homes are keyless entry, we issue a “code” rather than a physical key. The code changes for every reservation so it is an incredibly safe alternative. By issuing the code prior to arrival, the check-in process is much easier.

WHAT ARE THE POOL HOURS? ARE THEY HEATED?

DO YOU ALLOW PETS?
Certain non-shedding hypoallergenic dogs will be considered at an additional fee. Service animals are permitted, and the fee is waived for such situations (however the animal is never permitted to be in the unit alone if it is a service animal). Please note we do not allow any pets other than dogs.

IMPORTANT: VARE is committed to protecting our properties which is why we've partnered with Know Your Guest, the leading vacation rental guest-screening provider. Please note that before your booking begins, you will need to verify your details and ID through Know Your Guest.

Such an amazing vacation

It was such an amazing gated community, other residents were super sweet. The pool and the clubhouse was a huge highlight! A huge pool with a fun clubhouse that had pool and ping pong. On top of all of this, the house was beautiful, super clean. Would highly recommend this for family or friends!!!

Calm serene 🏜 desert getaway

Amber answered our questions right away! She was very kind and professional. The location is very clean, calm serene relaxing and very comfortable. The pool, jacuzzi and dry heat, were exactly what my mind and body needed. A lot of local cafes restaurants and stores, all within a short drive. The picturesque mountains seem so unreal in their beauty. Enjoyed our stay and nice rewind, cant wait to come back.

Lovely home

This home was perfect size for us! It was exceptionally clean and looked like it had just been renovated. The beds were excellent and we loved the bedding and linens provided. We were a bit worried about the location and being a little far out for us, but everything we needed was within a 15 minute drive. The only thing that I think they could work on would be outfitting the kitchen better. It was a little "light" on kitchen supplies. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay for a few days! I would highly recommend it!

Terrible!

When we got to the condo we put our things in the master bedroom and immediately smelled dog urine. We got not figure out where it was coming from either the floor or rug. I immediately called VARE and left a message. Then went to check out the rest of the house in which the guest bathroom had debris in the tub. We looked around to try to find cleaning supplies to get the dog urine smell out as the master was not sleep-able . Had to go out that evening and purchase cleaning supplies. Three days later received a text from VARE checking on our stay and told them about the lack of cleaning in the unit. Only then did they care to call. Beds were incredibly uncomfortable, we left early from our vacation.
