Our large group of couples enjoyed our escape weekend in the desert. We had some issues with the spa/pool heating, but Mikkel got back to us quickly every time and helped us out. Having a ping pong table, pool table, corn hole and pool/spa made for a very entertaining weekend!
This house was great for us, the beds were comfortable, plus plenty of extra linens and double washer/dryers which makes laundry a breeze. We were there 2 weeks, the backyard was full of fun things to do and the teens really enjoyed the pool table. The manager was VERY fast to respond to questions, and we would definitely rent again. If I had two little suggestions…put the floor plan up on the website, helpful to know the bathroom/bedroom layout in advance. The biggest thing would be to change interior bedroom/bathroom doors to solid core. There’s no soundproofing, which would be my only glitch. Other than that, HIGHLY recommend!
The pool was wonderful and made our trip unforgettable. Mikkel was very responsive the two times we had questions. The house was very well equipped with almost everything we needed.One thing to note is that there are flies and mosquitos in the backyard, so you’ll want to make sure to pick up some bug spray. The mosquitos seemed to only come out at dusk, so we didn’t even realize they were there until we had itchy bites the next day. Once we got bug spray and a citronella candle we were all set, and the pool more than made up for a few bug bites.
