Prickly Paradise was a perfect place for our stay in Buckeye. It was close to all attractions and places we wanted to visit. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. When we arrived, the hot tub was not heating, but the owner sent someone immediately to fix. We enjoyed all house had to offer (game room, fantastic backyard, beautiful kitchen, updated appliances, comfortable spaces).
It was a wonderful house with everything we needed. It was spacious and in excellent condition. Our short stay was very comfortable, mainly because we were a large family. There was a welcome guide that made it easy to navigate and our host was very easy to communicate with. 10/10 would recommend this house.
We had such a wonderful stay at this VRBO! From the moment we walked in, we loved the modern desert decor. It was beautifully done without feeling over-the-top, just the perfect desert vibe.The outdoor space truly made the trip. The cowboy pool was such a fun and unique feature. In the evenings, we rotated between the hot tub and the fire pit. They’ve really created a backyard that feels like your own private retreat.We also loved having cornhole set up and ready to go.Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, stylish desert escape.Reese was a wonderful host!!
