We spent six weeks at this house, and definitely enjoyed our stay, The home is comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed, and the appliances did the job. Given COVID, we did a lot of home cooking! We can definitely recommend this home for an extended stay, but we can also identify several ways the guest experience could be improved. First, it is important to note that the pool is lovely, but not heated. During the time we were there in February and March, its watertemperature never exceeded 50F, so it was effectively unusable. I would recommend that either the use of the heater be allowed (even at an additional cost), or that the listing make clear it is an unheated pool. The spa, however, was heated. Second, the listing identifies garage parking for two cars, and an additional space for a third car on the driveway. During our stay there was a truck in the garage, and only room for one car. The third garage bay was devoted to five bicycles for guest use, which is a great feature. Also, the garage doors have lifts, but remotes are not provided and there is not an exterior keypad. This requires going into the house through the front door and into the garage to open or close the door whenever you exit or return. This gets old. Third, there was no free shelf space in the pantry when we arrived. Before we could go shopping for food items, we spent about an hour clearing and cleaning off one of the shelves so we had somewhere to put things. Finally, a few minor repairs are in order that we shared with the property manager.

We stayed in this home from March 2020 to August 2020, during the period of time when everyone was asked to stay home due to the pandemic. We had no reason to leave! The home was very clean, spacious, airy, nicely appointed, the beds were exceedingly comfortable, kitchen was very well stocked. I cooked every meal over these months, and I was never missing anything! The fireplace in the living room made our Netflix binge-watching there very cozy, the pool and jacuzzi made our days fun. The neighborhood is very safe and the location in Oak Creek is perfect -very close to some of the best hiking in Sedona, as well as the Oak Creek golf course. The renters were very nice and responsive. We would highly recommend this place to others.

Quiet neighborhood, good restaurants nearby, very comfortable master bedroom mattress.

Perfect location, perfect home, perfect stay.
