We really enjoyed our stay at this property in Phoenix. We went in early April for our spring break, with kids ages 8, 5, & 3. The backyard was our favorite part of the property. The pool was perfect for our family to play in all week. We paid for pool and spa heat, which made it comfortable to swim and use the hot tub. The patio area got the morning sun and is shaded in the afternoon which is perfect because it got very hot later in the day. The landscaping in the backyard is beautiful, and the waterfall over the rocks in the pool was such a nice touch! The only thing was that the spa and pool heat had to be operated remotely by the manager, we would have preferred to turn on and off ourselves, but it was not a problem to communicate with them and ask for changes when we needed it on or off.
The house inside was clean and well laid out for our family. We really appreciated all the little extra items available in the kitchen upon arrival like paper products, garbage bags, dish soap, oil and seasonings, zip locks and tinfoil, laundry soap etc as I have not found this to be the case in all VRBO’s. They also had a lot of towels for the pool and bath which was so helpful! We also appreciated the extra lock higher up on the door leading out to the patio to prevent the kids from going out by themselves near the pool. Only thing we didn’t love was the beds which felt a little hard to us as we aren’t used to memory foam.
Overall, I rated everything a 5, except the location (a 4) only because it was a little further away from Scottsdale and the things we wanted to do. We rented a car and still did the things we wanted like Old Town, Butterfly Wonderland, Papago Park, mini golf, Scottsdale Quarter, etc - each a 30-40 min drive. The neighborhood was great- nice and quiet, and there was a large park with a playground right across the street. Overall, I would recommend this property highly! We had a great stay!
