In one sentence, Ventana Cove is absolutely amazing and stunning in every aspect. While the house is truly situated in a wild desert setting, arriving there should be no issue even after sunset as there is only about 0.5 miles of unpaved road to it. I still recommend driving with caution once you are off the paved. One of the things I personally enjoyed the most is the unique, modern architecture of the house which seamlessly presents an outdoor dining area adjacent to all three bedrooms as well as the kitchen. You will presumably spend the most time there especially at night as there is a hot tub now with a gigantic 75" TCL Roku TV mounted on the wall. Make sure to read the house guide thoroughly prior to your trip to maximize the use of what the house has to offer; you do not want to miss any of those. For some reason, the place felt a bit smaller than it looks from the pictures, but it was supplied with enough bedrooms and great amenities to easily accommodate a large-sized group without inconvenience. Last but not least, Matthew is a top-notch host who had made himself highly available and easy to communicate with at all times during our stay. In my opinion, Ventana Cove is already close to perfection; however, I would not be surprised to see further improvements or added features by Matthew in the future. The experience is worth every penny, and I will definitely take my family there again as an opportunity arises.

Our group of 4 adults and 4 tween/teens had a great time. The ping pong, hottub, and outdoor areas were perfect for relaxation at sunset. The beds were very comfortable. The 3rd bedroom was perfect for 2- squeezing in the other 2 was a stretch but glad we did it.

Quite possibly, one of the most relaxing, laid-back, comfortable experiences I have ever had with VRBO. Nick, the owner, was pleasant and accessible every step through the process. We even had a good laugh over confusion I had with the bedroom door locks (lol). And, the house just speaks for itself. Gorgeous! Exactly as you see it in the photos--elegantly decorated, modern, and impeccably clean. The beds are very comfortable--even the Murphy bed. Blankets everywhere which were so convenient when star gazing at night. Wonderfully stocked kitchen, good water pressure, lovely fire pit, comfy hammocks, etc. My favorite features are the accordion window in the kitchen that opens up to the center patio (for morning coffee and Happy Hour), the swing chair next to the cowboy tub (read a whole book in it), and of course, the terrific jacuzzi. Someone comes to service it TWICE weekly, giving us confidence that everything was super clean. This was truly the perfect house to spend time in while absorbing the rustic beauty of the desert and decompressing from hectic city life. My small group enjoyed ourselves so much, I already booked another stay over a long weekend. Thanks again, Nick, for hosting us!
