This was our first trip to Arizona, and we decided to rent a home and avoid the usual distractions (noise) associated with hotels. The location in Maricopa is somewhat removed from the attractions of Phoenix, but it is a reasonable commute to most places. The neighbourhood is peaceful, and close to The Duke for golf. The house itself is solid, although the kitchen and bath are approaching time for an update. That said, all furnishings were modern and comfortable. The internet service and TV were quite satisfactory. The owner contacted me shortly before our arrival inquiring if we intended to use the pool, as it has not been heated and is quite an expense to bring up to reasonable temps. After checking the forecast I agreed it would not likely be required. So, if you’re going to stay here in the cooler months because of the pool, ensure you and the host are in agreement re heating. The weather was subpar so it would have been wasted in our case. The yard itself is tidy with nice furnishings, and we enjoyed sitting outside (dressed appropriately!) for cocktail hour. The wood pellet grill was simple to use for a novice, and made some great steaks! Overall we liked the property and would stay here again.
