Great house and park near by

The property was great, house was clean and inviting. Probably a little big for my hubby and I but great eating area outside , the back yard and pool area was like a mini resort. Lots of fun and had great walks at the park just down the street and even seen a coyote in the drainage area by the park. Would definitely stay again if we are ever in that area. Thanks Taylor for all your help. Host was on top of things and responded right away if we had a question.

We had a great stay with 8 family members. Everyone had their own bedrooms. The heated pool was just right. Plenty of outside seating areas. The host was quick to answer and met our needs quickly. The location was easy to get to and not far from the airport.

We had an amazing time here - pictures of the house are accurate. It’s lovely and airy, and very well equipped. The outdoor space is such an added bonus too. We stayed with a family group that included babies and teens, and between the pool and the baby equipment, everybody was set up to enjoy their time. The location is unbeatable. A park (to play tennis, basketball etc.) is literally across the street and the South Mountain trails are just a few minutes walk away. There are plenty of supermarkets, restaurants, malls and specialty stores within minutes drives. Airport is also super close (but causing very little noise). The host responded super quickly to inquiries, so overall a great experience!

House is beautiful and worked great for the team. I took a star off because we didnt know the ice maker on the fridge didnt work until we had already been there for a day. There was a paper with some notes but it was on the side of the fridge and not noticed right away. The note said the pool would be serviced Wednesday or Thursday but the pool guy showed up on Friday. We were using the pool and the maintenance guy told us we had to get out. With the limited down time available it was a little bothersome. Beyond those minor things, our stay was wonderful.
