Perfect home for a family gathering

We had 3 couples a 5 yo and a baby staying in Joel’s home over Easter. It was perfect for our group visiting my Nana in Rio Verde and needing more space. Great patio and kitchen/living area to hang out. Joel was quick to communicate and answer my questions would rent from him again.

Great stay in Rio Verde

This is the second time we have stayed in this property. My only "complaint" is that it is not available next year at the time that we need it! I'm sure another lucky group will enjoy their stay.

Tranquil

Rural, quiet neighborhood on the golf course with access to a beautiful pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball. We were able to walk to a little coffee shop that serves simple breakfast and lunch. Many communities to explore and hikes nearby. The outdoor space was our favorite amenity. Javelina, coyotes, cardinals and many others birds right in the back yard.

Wonderful! 5*

We spent 3 weeks in this lovely home. It was so comfortable, clean and spacious. In a very quiet location. Having access to the beautiful heated pool and tennis/pickleball courts was great! Joel was a great help anytime we need to ask him anything and he always responded very quickly. We will definitely be back!

Javelina Jundred

This was my second year renting this property for Javelina. We had a party of 7 runners; the house accommodated all of us. The property manager is made sure all our needs were met. The house is beautiful, spacious, and 8 minutes or so to McDowell Mountain Range. I highly recommend this beautiful house.

Quiet Luxury

This is a beautiful three bedroom 2 1/2 bath house. It has every amenity you would look for in a vacation rental. The owner is very easy to communicate with, and was very welcoming. He left lights on for us when we arrived late in the evening and answered any questions we had quickly. We came to this area to do some hiking, and there are dozens of trail heads nearby. We also highly recommend that anyone who stays here or take a side trip to Boyce Thompson Arboretum.
