Review submitted: May 28, 2012   Date of arrival: January 10, 2012

met with Irene ( property manager ) at a convenient time- she explained all details of tv,spa etc,-there is a book of instructions as well- very helpful- the place was immacultae- lovely furniture and decor throughout the house- lots of patio chairs and tables for eating- kitchen very well equipped-large pantry- comfortable beds and bedding. Lots of games etc for kids and pool toys as well. We loved the neighborhood so well that we bought a house!
I would (and have) recommended this home to anyone seeking privacy and lots of space- close to everything and very well maintained. We stayed 3 months and had no problems whatsoever

We arrived Thursday night to a meticulously clean and beautifully decorated home. The instructions for the spa, pool, lights, fans, fireplace, etc. were are very straight-forward and easy to understand. There is plenty of refrigerator space since there are two of them and there is also plenty or room for relaxing outside on the numerous patio chairs and furniture. The sleeping arrangements are ideals for any type of group. There are twin beds in one room, fold out sofas, queen and king beds. I honestly believe the pictures do not do this home justice. It was so pleasant, peaceful, and relaxing. The grocery store and Starbucks are just a couple of miles away and everything is very convenient. I would recommend this vacation rental to anyone.

We arrived to a home that was not clean. There was laundry in the washing machine. The frig had not been cleaned and there was spilled foods in the frig. The windows had not been cleaned. There was still food in a cook pot in the freezer. The range was had not been cleaned. The garbage bin was full. My wife and I spent most of a day cleaning up the place to make it presentable. There wasn't a fry pan that was not corroded (I believe the fry pans provided are a health hazard)so we had to buy our own fry pan. There wasn't a kettle for making tea either. We had rented this house a year ago and the same light fixture that was broken then is still broken (I say this because I think that that fact speaks volumes about the maintenance of the home. The chase lounges were ALL broken and infested with black widow spiders. Although we had been assured that the home had been fumigated for black widows within a month of our arriving we could not use the undercover patio for black widows. We killed as many as we could but the place was infested. We eventually had to call in an exterminator in the last week of our stay. The pool man comes twice a week but there isn't a pool skimmer so that the pool was constantly dirty. I purchased a manual pool skimmer so that I could keep the pool reasonably clean. No brooms are provided so that it was difficult to keep the patio around the pool clean. It took me months and months to get my damage deposit back which only added 'insult to the injury'. We rent in the Desert area twice a year and I can tell you a home that we will never rent again.
