We loved our stay here! We drove our family of 6 from Northern California to drop off our son at college in Phoenix. This house has been a great “home base” for us. The house was very clean, well stocked, and the kids enjoyed the fun pool floats. The host had great communication and even had someone address a minor issue the same day. We would highly recommend this property to others and we would definitely stay here again!

The Desert Retreat was a great place to stay for our 5 days in Surprise. It was very clean and adequately supplied with pots, pans, dishes, etc. It was a great location and close to shopping and grocery stores. The heated pool was a plus as so many rentals had pools without heat. I would recomment this property for your stay in the Surprise/Phoenix area.
