About this house rental

This is an amazing property in a prime Paradise Valley location with a newly remodeled kitchen and new wood floors. Plus we just added a pickleball court!
The property boasts a catfish filled lake, running stream, bocce ball court, koi pond, 2 waterfalls, basketball court, volleyball court, pool table, giant 60-inch TV, work-out room, sparkling pool, plus we just added a pickleball court! As of September 1, 2021 we have installed a newly remodeled kitchen and stove (photos to follow).
It's a 5BR (READ ROOM LAYOUT BELOW), 4½BA home with old southwest charm and gorgeous views. All of these amenities are EXCLUSIVE to the home, single tenant, and owners. They are NOT part of a neighborhood community.
Please note, we do NOT host gatherings on property over 50 people due to restrictions in the neighborhood. Smaller family gatherings with no loud amplified music are allowed with permission and additional fees for clean up and usage.

This is a 1960's ranch home. Remodeled kitchen has stainless steel appliances, new 5-burner gas stove, granite tile counter tops, large center island & custom cabinets. The family room boasts a pool table and 60 inch TV. The California king bed and queen beds are from the highly breathable Purple Mattress company (my favorite!) and amazingly comfortable. Our 4th bedroom has two twin beds and 5th bedroom has a full bed. Home has a total of 6 beds with the option of adding an air mattress in the family room if needed.

The home has wood floors, satillo tile, and carpet in one bedroom. The master bedroom doors open out to the lush grounds & sparkling salt water pool. All bathrooms have been remodeled with travertine floors. The laundry area is complete with front loading washer and dryer. And yes, unlike other short term rentals, you are WELCOME to use our washer and dryer, which is stocked with detergent.

The back half of the property has a lake, Lilly lined stream, basketball court, tennis court, volleyball court, ping pong table, citrus trees, bocce ball, koi pond, and catfish filled lake. This is a cozy and inviting home in the most amazingly tranquil setting.

Clete, is our on-site manager who lives on property in the detached guest house. He will be available when you check in to help get you acquainted to the property. Please note that he lives on property as well and takes care of the two dogs. He stays to himself during guest stays and lives behind a screen

Tennis court: Mondays and Thursdays from 6pm-10pm and Saturday from 9am-1pm the tennis court is reserved for the co-owner. The tennis players use the tennis court and pavilion adjacent to the court which is located at the far north end of the 5 acre lot away from the main home.

You will have access to the pool, front lawn, entire home, backyard including tennis court, basketball court and bocce ball court as well as the area around the lake and koi pond. The pool has a grill and gazebo area for relaxing as well.

The house manager, Clete, will help you when you arrive. He is a permanent tenant who lives on property in the detached guest house and can help answer questions you may have. Clete stays to himself during the stay of our guests to ensure your privacy. There are also two very mellow dogs who live with him. They may be out of site during your stay but feel free to request their company if you would prefer them around.

The pool can be heated for an additional $75/day. We would need to know at least two days in advance to begin heating the pool.

Please note that weekends from October-April require a minimum 4 night stay.

In the Summer months, (June-mid September) the furniture around the lake and fire pit is put into storage for protection from the excessive summer heat.

What a great stay, I didn't want to leave. However I'm a bit biased due to my affinity for Arizona in general, but this house was absolutely amazing. The homeowner was quick to respond to questions/concerns regarding the property and Clete was always available if needed. The property including the pool are well maintained with routine service. You definitely get an oasis feel when you are staying here. Would highly recommend!

Not what we were hoping for
Not what we were hoping for
We were drawn to this house by the beautiful pictures of the grounds. We were disappointed in the house when we got there. The bedrooms and bathrooms were tired and there were cleanliness issues (a dirty tissue and q-tip in a cabinet, mold on the counters and sinks, soap scum in the showers, stains on the toilet, stains on a comforter). There were enough things that we were uncomfortable. We were going to stay anyway until there were some issues with flies (there was no fly swatter and the vacuum was so clogged there was no suction so we had no way to get rid of them) and there was a large cockroach in the main bathroom. My parents left after seeing the cockroach. We were in communication with the owner and property manager (we expected him to be there but it was obvious he was not around that night) and they were responsive and said they would work on getting pest control and housekeeping scheduled. My husband and I stayed the first night because we figured it was too late to do anything else. The next day the owner contacted us and offered to refund us for any unused nights if we wanted to leave. This was a HUGE relief and we were so appreciative that they were willing to do that. We ended up getting out of the house before checkout time thinking we would get 6 of the 7 nights refunded. Unfortunately that is not the end of the story. Not long after we left, the owner asked for pictures detailing the issues we had described with the cleanliness. We sent 10-15 photos showing all of the things we noticed. She then started saying things like she had assumed there was more trash than what the pictures showed (this really bothered me because especially in the times we are living in now, there is no acceptable level of trash). They also said they found no flies in the house and asked if they were gnats instead of flies which they were not. It was clear that they were downplaying the issues we had and it was insulting. The owner then said we needed to cancel our stay in the VRBO app in order for us to be refunded. We tried several times and could find no way to do this. After some back and forth the owner was able to cancel for us but it was after check out time that day so they dropped our refund to 5 days instead of 6. Overall, the grounds are beautiful and some of the house has been updated but the cleanliness issues and stressful back and forth with the owner ruined a lot of our trip and was enough for us to stay away from VRBOs in the future

This experience was wonderful. We rented the property with our 7 adult children/spouses. Everyone had an amazing time. We cooked, played outdoor activities and relaxed. So many memories made! Our family plans to rent the property again and again. GREAT LOCATION. So much to do on the property! Kitchen had all the tools and supplies to make meals for our crew. LOVED this VRBO experience.
