About this property

Tropical Retreat with hot tub, heated pool, misters & fire pit

Looking to book your next family vacation somewhere lovely? Or perhaps you're searching for a comfortable & beautifully designed space to accommodate multi-family gatherings or large groups of friends? Look no further.

Welcome to Paradise at Villa Santa Cruz!

Our very first family owned and operated luxury vacation home striving to provide you with that Tropical Destination feeling.

Just 15-20 minutes away from Phoenix Sky Harbor or Mesa Airports and 28 minutes to Old Town Scottsdale.

________________________________________________________________

We are so thrilled to host you and your loved ones in our home.

My name is Maxwell, and I am your host. My 5 older siblings and I recently purchased this home together and have spent countless hours over many many months renovating, rehabilitating and completely redesigning the property with a vision to create our own piece of tropical paradise that we can now share with your family.

This vacation home was always a dream that our late parents continually envisioned, as they grew up from very humble beginnings in the city of Santa Cruz, Pamapanga in the tropical pacific islands of the Philippines.

In 1962, our dad enlisted in the US Navy, served many tours and moved our family around several times to various states before honorably closing out his military career in 2009 in Bremerton, WA.

Blessed with 6 children and 6 grand-children, mom & dad always put family first and continually strived to feed every mouth that walked into their home until they knew every belly became full, no matter what time of day and they would even send you off packing with yummy leftovers!

Unfortunately, our mother & father did not survive their battles against cancer or parkinsons, so they did not get the opportunity to see their dream come true for their own children or grandchildren.

Being the youngest sibling of six, through my experiences, I've grown to learn my purpose within our large, close knit family, combining my love for family, friends, entertaining and design. Mom & Dad also prioritized teaching & leading by example on how to spread love unconditionally, through the sharing of food and lodging! These life lessons have allowed us to turn our parents' dream into a reality, in which we hope to spread joy & happiness to your family, while honoring their legacy at the same time.

We put a lot of thought into every detail throughout this home so that families like yours, can enjoy what we feel matters the most . . . finding time to unplug from the busy day-to-day in order to spend quality time with your loved ones. And why not do that in a comfortable and beautifully designed space!

That said, please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything I can do to ensure your vacation here becomes a favorite memory for you and your family.

On behalf of our family, come on in, relax and make yourself comfortable as we hope you enjoy your stay in Paradise at Villa Santa Cruz.

Best regards,
Maxwell

Absolutely fantastic
This rental property exceeded all expectations! It was absolutely beautiful and a perfect vacation house. Honestly, the property is nicer than any photos could capture. Everything is lovely and the house is totally renovated. The pool, hot tub, yard games, and fire pit are so fun. The bedrooms are really nice and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is beautiful and well stocked with good quality cookware, dishes, etc. There is lots of comfortable furniture in the home, on the patio, and around the pool. The hosts were great. I highly recommend this rental property.

Beautiful paradise
We arrived in town from all over to spend my sons wedding together. My husband, me and some of my children are Montrealers. This house was absolutely gorgeous. It is exactly what you see in the pictures. It is immaculate. You'll find everything you didn't think you'd need and more. The weather was chilly on the last couple of days, and as soon as I asked if the water could be warmer, it was taken care of remotely. Maxwell answered my messages immediately regarding any concerns or questions. He was so kind and respectful in all of our communications. My favorite was the attention to details. There was a beautiful hand written note welcoming us. The book about the house details left for guests to veiw made us cry. Its not just a business for them. You can feel the love the family has for each other in the house. They should be very proud of what they created. I'm sure their parents are! We would absolutely stay again. My 11 year old asked me if we could please buy it for ourselves.

The Best Experience with a gracious host!
I cannot express what a wonderful stay we had and what a wonderful host Maxwell was with his Tropical Island Getaway at Villa Santa Cruz in Mesa. My family and I had such a wonderful relaxing time. The backyard is so dreamy and the inside is just as beautiful. All the technology and amenities anyone would need. Maxwell was the perfect host. Anything we needed, he was quick to answer and never left us hanging without an answer quickly from the start of our process till the end. If you have any skepticism at all about the system, please don't with this property and/or its owners. Maxwell and his family have thought out every detail and he is there to help you every bit of the way. If we are ever in the area again, I will most certainly entertain the idea of staying at this location again if available. I will highly recommend it as well to my friends. It is a beauty worth sharing. With much gratitude, Dawn and family

Amazing and Awesome
Our mini family reunion was made so enjoyable in large part to “our house” Villa Santa Cruz. Many of us rent homes when we travel and all agreed we never have had a property with the amenities Villa Santa Cruz has. Every little detail was covered, comfortable furnishing, quiet evenings to enjoy pool area, spacious for10 adults with room to spare and a kitchen to prepare our meals in that rivaled our own kitchens at home. Decor was fun and charming. We all agreed when we are in area again as a family or as individual families, we would stay at Vila Santa Cruz again. Thank you Maxwell and family for sharing your beautiful home with our family.

Amazing
Six couples rented this house for a weekend getaway to enjoy the warm Arizona weather and get away from the cold. It would be nice to keep this place our little secret but we do want the owners to succeed, so will spill the details. This rental was the best VRBO any of us have ever stayed at- and combined that is a lot. There were so many little details that all added up to make this place so special. Every day we said…”’oh that is a good idea…” as we came across these details that went into planning out this house. ( An ice maker outside, phone charging pads, resort quality outdoor furniture, outdoor games, indoor games… most still In their plastic, unbelievable amount of drinking glasses of all types: wine, whisky for example, multiple Refillable Water stations, Many condiments, starters for coffee, espresso, laundry detergent, shampoo/conditioner, selfie stations, I think we counted 10 tvs, we even saw water misters for when it really gets hot in Arizona, soft and large beach and pool Towels) The hosts obviously going all Out and out of their way to think of everything to make guests enjoy their time. The host also incredibly responsive and helpful, checking in if we needed anything. The entire house is so well designed in layout as well. We hope to be back and feel fortunate to have found this place.
