Great Stay....
We really enjoyed our time here. The house has a great layout and is decorated beautifully. The outdoor/pool area are really nice. When we first arrived at the home we were a bit nervous about it being in a high traffic (noisy) area, but the house is actually very well built and the traffic noise was not bothersome at all.
There were a few very minor issues (switch not functioning, damaged blind) that the property manager let us know about ahead of time. These issues didn't bother us at all and it was nice that we were informed ahead of time.

Just what we were looking for
House in our opinion could have been cleaner lots of dust in bedrooms and fridge/freezer hadn’t been cleaned in the last few times it was rented in our opinion. Loved the pool area the weeds growing through the turf was a bit off setting. There were a few things in non working conditions that we were notified of the day before check in, but I would expect with the higher than average fee per night for the area those things could have been fixed prior to our arrival. They do other things that definitely deserve a 5-staring rating extra towels, makeup towels, nice soaps and lotions and amazing response time for all questions and issues we came across. Loved the property and will consider it again for future trips.

Beautiful golf getaway that needs a bit of TLC
It's a beautiful property and a great place for a group to stay. Outside entertaining by the pool is terrific. It's a very impressive property that offers privacy as well as shared spaces. Overall, it appears that the property is not being properly maintained. Every bathroom has at least one faucet handle that comes right off when used. Multiple faucets are loose and improperly mounted (turn left to turn off!). The pedestrian security gate handle came apart in my hand. The center island was cracked by previous renters and is in need of immediate repair. The master shower is missing a door panel. The whole house could use a deep cleaning of baseboards. It's a very beautiful home that suited us perfectly. Please don't let it deteriorate from lack of care and maintenance. One more thing...there's a mouse living in the basket of pool towels and comes out to scrounge for crumbs when he sees the chance.

Great house!
We originally selected this house because there seemed to be enough space for 9 of us. We were in Tucson for a wedding. The house exceeded expectations in every way. Our only wish would have been for the weather to cooperate so we could have enjoyed the pool. From a full assortment of accessories and products to ample high quality towels,this house was very comfortable.

We came here with my mom, husband and 3 college age kids to celebrate a graduation. It was even nicer than the pictures! Super clean, beautiful furnishings, everything you could possibly need for cooking family meals and relaxing. Pool and backyard is special, with lots of different spaces to spread out and relax. My kids kept saying that it felt like a resort 😁. Highly recommend!!!!
