Rather Be Desert Getaway

We had a great time. Property is centrally located with easy access to anywhere you would want to go. The house was clean and very well appointed. Loved the pool and spa, very private and plenty of furniture and shade. Elissa was a pleasure to work with. She was quick to respond and satisfy any questions or requests that we had. We highly recommend this property.

We loved our week long stay at this home. It was exactly as the pictures and description said it would be. Everything was clean and the swimming pool was perfect. The kitchen was well equipped. We were a group of 4 ladies in our 60's and 70's and we had a fantastic time. I would not hesitate to recommend this house to anyone looking for a desert stay.

My husband and I had to take a last minute trip to the CV for family business. Even on short notice, we were able to find this rental in the perfect location, close to my sister and close to the various facilities we would be visiting. The check-in could not have been easier, the property was clean and well-furbished and Elissa was extremely responsive and helpful with any questions that we had.

Except for the heat, it was GREAT!

WE LOVED EVERYTHING AND ARE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT GOING BACK NEXT YEAR!! Positive: For my family - we liked everything ( I asked everyone - from 10 year old grandson, a 13 y/o girl, two 20 year olds and a 30-something woman, to my 71 year old self). The beds were comfortable (except that the bunkbed mattress was not so comfy for my 200+ pound grandson). We loved the open area of kitchen, living room and kitchen. The kitchen had everything we needed, but next time we'll bring bigger cookie sheets and bigger frying pans. The fridge held all of the food we bought, but we did run out of ice twice during our stay. A quick Instacart delivery fixed that! The BBQ worked perfectly for our hamburgers/hot dogs/chicken dinner one nite. All of the kitchen appliances worked perfectly. ALL of my correspondence with property management was, before and during our stay, very friendly and very helpful. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The king and queen size beds were very comfortable. Early mornings under the pergola were delightful and I enjoyed every morning there. The young people enjoyed the jacuzzi every night and were also in the pool from after breakfast until dinner time. FYI: When the wind blows in the desert, which it did, sand gets in the pool and in the house, but that's what brooms are for! Negative: I am 71 years old and not as steady going up/down stairs as I'd like. So - it was a little scary for me to get into/out of the pool without any kind of handrail. I just dragged a patio chair nearby and that helped. I did not try to get into the jacuzzi. The pool is a good size, but only 3 feet deep on both ends and 5 foot deep in the middle...the kids wished that the pool was deeper. There's an area right outside the sliding door from the dining area, on the cement, that is VERY SLIPPERY when wet. Although no one was injured, 3 of us skidded on the slippery surface. The pool could us alot more shade - the 2 umbrellas were a big help, but needed moved with the sun. The pool had the beginnings of algae upon arrival, but was cleaned the following morning. We arrived on Monday afternoon, pool was cleaned Tuesday morning but not again until Friday morning before we left at 10 am. There were no mention of cameras on the property but we saw that there was a RING camera system and did not see any cameras inside, only outside. The description on Booking.com mentioned a walk-in shower and there was none, only 2 "regular" showers/tubs. The 2nd bathroom has no window to open. A couple of the sheets/pillow cases needed to be washed before they were slept on, so having the washer/dryer on site was great! The pergola has a completely solid roof, but does not offer ANY shade once the sun heads West. The furnished pool towels are NOT thick, but they get the job done and dry quickly. It might have been helpful to have some kind of clothesline in the backyard, to hang swimsuits after the day in the pool. I know that might be an issue with desert winds, but it was just a thought. And I know that there was a "clothes dryer" in the master bedroom closet, but it's not the same as a clothesline.
