OUTDOORS BUILT TO ENTERTAIN
The expansive, private backyard is landscaped with palm trees and anchored by a large grotto style swimming pool complete with misters! Lounge in the shade of the covered patio with your favorite team playing on the patio tv, catch some rays on the pool loungers, or set the vibe by the Koi pond at the outdoor living room with the fire table and peaceful waterfall sounds. In the colder months, take a dip in the brand new, state of the art hot tub. Host a barbecue with the fully equipped gourmet grill (stocked with mini fridge, ice machine, and blender) and outdoor eating area for 10 or mix-up some cocktails for all-day happy hour at the custom grotto bar (also stocked with mini fridge, ice machine, and blender). Too keep you cool on those summer days we've got you taken care of with a powerful outdoor misting system that fully encapsulates the covered patio, outdoor eating area, and outdoor living room! If you prefer, connect via Bluetooth to our speaker system, outfitted both in the home and various locations around the backyard. While the grill sizzles, challenge friends and family to a few rounds of cornhole or ladder ball on the lawn. Lamp posts keep the areas warmly lighted and an outdoor fireplace and firepit complete your evening ambiance.

*Please note: the pool waterfall is not currently operational. The pool is not heated.

Good house, AMAZING BACKYARD
This property is fantastic. Great location, especially if you’re going to Cubs spring training, as Sloan Park is literally three minutes away! The backyard is just fantastic! We only had four adults total, but the backyard has so much space we easily could have had a lot more. The misters are amazing for the super hot days. We had one small issue the first day, and the property manager and owners were amazing, and got back to me super quickly. Wonderful customer service. Also, all of us agreed, the beds were fantastic and we all slept so well!! My only small complaint is that there is no door for the master bathroom, just a curtain. If you’re not one who needs privacy, it is no problem, but I would get up and use the outside bathroom often. (It is a very nice bathroom, it’s just slightly annoying in the middle of the night). All in all, we had an amazing stay and would definitely come back!!

Backyard paradise
Property is spectacular, amazing, and relaxing. We all enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and outside seating entertaining areas. My wife enjoyed the shower in the master bathroom. My son enjoyed the pool table and dart board. My daughter loved the comfortable beds. Everything was well stocked the hosts were really thoughtful providing drinks in the fridge and toiletries in case you forgot something. There were also plenty of pool toys, outdoor corn hole, lawn janga, ladderball, and plenty of board games. They also responded immediately to questions we had. The property is also close to everything, resturants, grocery stores, malls, and movie theaters. We will stay here again.

Absolutley amazing home! Felt like we were on a true vacation.
We had pur family come together and spend the weekend together away from and having fun. This place was the absolute best with the pool, hot tub, yard games, outdoor mister system, TV on back porch, and the music playing throghout the entire house and outside. My sister flew in from Ohio to spend the weekend with us, so she was amazed at the beauty Arizona has to offer, specially with this property. We had such a good time, we will remember this staycation forever! Also, they allowed us to extend our stay one more night because we were enjoying ourselves so much!

We loved this place!
We loved our stay at Mitch & Denise’s beautiful home! I cannot say enough how wonderful it was to walk into a home and be trusted with so many amenities-big and small! The decorating is impeccable and the bedding was so comfortable! Literally, there was not one thing they had not thought of for us! Everything is so well thought out and the back yard is incredible. I would love to stay here again and I NEVER say that! Thank you for sharing your home with us. Your love for it shines through!
