Step outside to your private backyard oasis. The heated pool, complete with a waterfall feature, is the centerpiece for relaxation and fun. Pool heating is included year-round in your rental rate, ensuring a comfortable swim in any season. Lounge chairs surround the pool for sunbathing, while the newly added outdoor furniture creates a stylish and cozy environment for gathering.
The backyard also includes a large putting green, ideal for practicing your short game or hosting a friendly putting competition. In the evening, gather around the built-in fire pit with bench seating for storytelling, s’mores, or simply enjoying the cool desert air. Please note that propane for the fire pit is not included with the rental.
An outdoor grill and beverage refrigerator make alfresco cooking and dining easy and enjoyable. The covered patio offers plenty of seating, shade during the day, and a great place to unwind in the evening.
