The AC systems worked well and we had a great time using the kitchen and media area. Id love to come back sometime to use the baskwtball, pickleball, and bocce ball courts as well as the outdoor bar. Zack and Bex were great hosts and responded very quickly. A few small thinga to improve: Some of the fans did not work, i expect the remotes just need a new battery. The AC could not go lower than 75. This is fine for the deaert, but qould have loved it to reach 70. Finally, guests should remember to check the jacuzzi upon check in and fill it up so that it gets hot by the night. Otherwise we loved our time. We had a small elopement ceremony at the archway that the hosts set up near the casita, and it worked perfectly. Looking forward to renting again later this winter ##### Aditya M. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Devyn S. 11 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay We scheduled a Girls Weekend here and it did not disappoint! Plenty of room and beds so it did not feel cramped, along with some of the coolest Insta features! We loved the hot tub and soaking pool after a day hiking in JT. Great stay, highly recommend. ##### Devyn S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria W. 23 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous in every way We traveled with 3 of our kids for Thanksgiving week to get away. It was such a relief to bring our fur baby as well (holiday boarding costs!). This home had everything you could want! Beautiful decor, fully contained yard, hot tub, lovely outdoor dining & seating spaces… We prepped our Thanksgiving meal together, enjoyed the comfortable sectional for football & movies, cooked a Tri tip in the large fire pit, gazed at the stars, ran the dog, and just relaxed. We made it to the park twice and even brought our oldest son’s dirt bike. This home was just ideal for us. We would love to visit again in the future. ##### Maria W. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucas D. 27 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A relaxing and calm place Loved the place.
