About this property

Quiet Relaxing Desert Oasis ...close to what ever action you may be looking for.

When making an inquiry, just let us know a little about yourself / group and how you'd like to use our home during your visit.

Whether you've spent an action packed day watching your favorite baseball team at the nearby spring training facilities, your favorite driver at the Phoenix Raceway, enjoying a round of golf at the nearby Jack Nicklaus designed Estrella Mountain Golf Course, or spent the day on one of the many nearby hiking or biking trails, you should find our home to be the perfect home base for your favorite activity, or as just a quiet, relaxing place to escape to. The quiet neighborhood, and nearby lakes with their surrounding parks are a great place to take your morning walks, a bike ride, or enjoy a game of tennis, pickle ball, or basketball at the nearby South Lake park as well.

Located in The Villages of Estrella Mountain Ranch, our home is on a cul-de-sac in a quiet residential neighborhood, surrounded on two sides with wide open undeveloped federal land, providing beautiful desert / mountain views. Enjoy spectacular sunrises, and sunsets from this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, which accommodates up to 6 overnight guests.

Have an invigorating swim in the pool or a relaxing session in the attached spa (both with optional heating available, see details below) before grilling up something special on the Weber Genesis natural gas grill on the patio. Just turn on the natural gas stub on the patio wall, and you'll never have to worry about running out of gas in the middle of your grilling session.
Not into grilling tonight? The well equipped kitchen should have almost anything you need to prepare what ever meal you desire.

After dinner, settle in for an evening of movie watching on the 55" Samsung smart TV, and home theater sound system in the family room. The smart TV in the family room, and 40" smart TV in the master bedroom in addition to receiving over 60 over the air (OTA) broadcast channels including all the major networks, are also subscribed to Netflix for a great choice of entertainment. The queen guest room has a 32" smart TV which also has access to over 60 OTA channels.
Are you an Amazon, Hulu or other streaming service subscriber? Just log into your account on the smart TV's, and continue where you left off watching your favorite programs at home, or pop the latest release DVD into the living room BluRay player.

If your tired of TV, and just want to listen to your favorite tunes, the home theater receiver also has a radio tuner, and blue tooth, allowing you to listen to local channels, or connect your blue tooth capable phone or music device to it for listening to all your favorite song lists.
In addition to the home theater speakers in the family room, our home also has a built in sound system with speakers located in the front sitting/dinning room, master bedroom, and on the poolside patio, with individual wall mounted volume controls as you enter each area.
Maybe you'd just like to curl up with a good book? The den or front sitting / dinning room provide the perfect spots to get away from the screens and enjoy a little quiet alone time.

Optional Spa & Pool heat are available at the home either individually, or together, for an additional fee of $12/day or $70/wk for the spa & $90 for day1 and $25 per consecutive day, or $190/wk for the pool. Just ask about any of these options when you make your inquiry about staying, and your quote can be adjusted accordingly.

So whatever your vacation needs are, we think you will find our home has both the location, and amenities to meet whatever activity you might desire, or the perfect place to just put your feet up for a little rest and relaxation as well.

Best VRBO yet

Annual buddies golf trip (15 years). Have stayed in many VRBO's and this was the best by far; good location, great owner communication, outstanding amenities (pool, spa, etc), and absolutely the best supplied by far - kitchen, linens, etc.

Very relaxing!!!

Came for 7 nights and it was absolutely lovely! Very nice quiet and friendly neighborhood! Owners are very responsive and friendly and make sure to meet all your needs! Will definitely book with them again! Many houses I’ve stayed in are pretty modern and this one reminded me of going to visit my grandma and grandpa’s house and was very cozy! Being able to use the garage was nice as it kept the rental car cool.. only downside was there not being lawn chairs that lay down flat to enjoy the sun (they do have the zero gravity chairs though)! Not a biggie and definitely wouldn’t make or break another stay with them!!

Excellent Experience

We have stayed in a few different properties and this was by far the cleanest!! The property manager and owners were readily available to answer any questions that came up during our stay. They had everything laid out with information to make our stay as relaxing as possible. We would definitely stay at this rental again and recommend it to anyone going to visit the Phoenix area.

Weekend Getaway

Dustin was wonderful to work with. He checked in prior to arrival, upon arrival and prior to departure. The house was clean, well stocked, and very peaceful. There were cookies left for us as well as a note welcoming us to the property. There was also a notebook that had information on how to use everything in the home. My family and I arrived early and Dustin let us check in early. I enjoyed my stay at this property and will stay again if available on my next trip out West. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Nice place

Clean, comfortable beds. A little warm. You can't turn the air lower than 72 and it keeps automatically going back to 76 so if you're a hot sleeper this may not be ideal for you. Everything else was fine.

Very comfortable & inviting

We had the best time staying here! The home is very comfortable and had everything we could have hoped for. We spent a lot of time in the perfectly sized pool for hanging out in and spent many hours playing games outside on the covered patio. Evenings were fun with the ability to stream movies or whatever we wanted to watch together. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and perfect for morning walks. We had such a good time, we are talking about going back. Thank you Dustin & Kris!

Excellent location, quiet neighborhood, wonderful home

We were in Arizona for my son's baseball tournament. The home was conveniently located close the Red's and Indian's spring training facility where the tournament was held. The house was very clean, and the neighborhood was quiet. There is a grocery store near by. Communication with Dustn and Kris was excellent. Check in/out was very easy. I recommend this home for your next trip to the Goodyear area. I would book this home again.

About the host

Hosted by Dustin & Kris Paulson

Host profile image
We are a couple of retired health care providers from Minnesota. We both enjoy music, with Kris having been the liturgist at church, and director of both a youth and adult choir for many years. Kris is also an avid gardener and enjoys home decorating. Dustin enjoys mechanical projects including classic cars, home fix-it projects, fishing, and flying. After earning his pilots license in 1994, Dustin enjoys flying the experimental GlaStar aircraft he finished building in 2007. He now has over 1000 hrs of flying behind it's controls, with Kris logging quite a few in the right seat as well!
After spending our January's in Goodyear for about 5 years in various VRBO's we decided to look for a place of our own during the winter of 2017 , and came across this beautiful setting.

Why they chose this property

We had looked before, but it wasn't until 2017 that we found what we thought was the place for us. With the property located in a quiet residential neighborhood, surrounded on two sides with wide open undeveloped federal land, providing beautiful mountain / desert views, and a sense of seclusion, it felt like the perfect place to relax.

It has enough room for our family members to come and stay for a visit, and a pool for the grand kids to enjoy, but it's not so big that we feel like we are rattling around in the home when we are there by ourselves.
We have always enjoyed our VRBO stays in other peoples homes over the years, and felt it was something that we would like to share with other like minded people as well.

What makes this property unique

With this home located close to the baseball spring training facilities, the Phoenix Raceway, Hiking & Biking trails, Estrella Mountain Regional Park, White Tank Mountain Regional Park, and Jack Nicholas designed Estrella Mountain Golf Club, we feel like the area has top notch entertainment, and recreational opportunities to offer pretty much anybody, and our home offers a quiet, relaxing refuge to come back to after an action packed day, or just a place to come and get away from your hectic work a day world for a well earned respite.
