Great Place/Great Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at this well-equipped, clean, and comfortable home. The host was personable, responsive, and truly accommodating—making check-in and communication a breeze. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were cozy, and the entire home was spotless. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into maintaining the property. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Desert peace and beauty

We loved staying here. The location was quiet, other than the distant yelps of coyotes at night. Loved walking out the door in the peaceful neighborhood with rosy mountains so close. This home is very spacious and clean with a pretty back patio area and a grill we enjoyed using. Close to a great supermarket and restaurants. Susan and Bill always got back to us when we had questions.

Family Getaway

Vista Serena was a gorgeous property with a view of the Catalinas every time you stepped out the door. The gated community neighborhood was quiet and beautifully kept up with walking trails through the desert landscape. The home itself was very comfortable with a big patio, two fireplaces for cool nights, large kitchen, living room, and dining room. The bedrooms were also large and beautifully furnished. The owners were very responsive and provided some good recommendations for local restaurants, etc. We stayed for a month and we could have easily stayed for two. Loved Vista Serena!
