Spring Training Getaway

We stayed here for our annual spring training getaway trip. The house was great for our purpose. We don't spend much time in the house when we travel so our needs aren't many. This house did great for us, enough room for us and we enjoyed the hot tub. We did find a little pub with great food and ambiance within walking distance so that was a plus.

Just Alright

This house was just alright. It is a small bungalow style home, which does have some charm and a beautiful backyard. The host was communicative and addressed any issues that arose. The home is older with a lot of quirks (like needing to push a button to one bathroom to start the hot water anywhere in the home). We did enjoy our stay, but it is definitely an older home in an older neighborhood. I don't think the home really lived up to the pictures. For the price of the home, I would definitely look at other options in the area.

Disappointing!

I have never written a bad review on any VRBO we have stayed at so here goes. The reviews for this property all are excellent so that is why we booked. The reality was quite different. The neighborhood it sketchy at best which was the first clue that things might not be as advertised. The house from the outside great but once through the gate it is quite different. The furniture and rugs were all very dirty and stained and the beds and bedding were old. The kitchen was OK but by no means a gourmet kitchen. All of the dishes, pans and drinkware were odds and ends that looked like they were from a thrift store. We were also surprised that there was no cable TV. I did plan on touching the TV since it looked like it was falling off of the wall. The outside was ok but again the patios were unkept and tired. It felt so dirty in the house that we left and went to a hotel!!!

Location good, house OK.

We chose this house because of its backyard and location near Old Town. The yard fully lived up to its billing (and there was an orange tree with fruit), but the house fell a bit short. It is in an older neighborhood and it needs some TLC. Sound carried through the walls and would disturb sleepers. My wife noted that while well equipped, the kitchen was disorganized (she reorganized it so we could use it). She found dust under beds and furniture, and mildew on the inside of the hot tub lid. The previous visitor had reported that the dishwasher was not working. Manager got a repairman out quickly, especially considering it was 12/26, but he took three working days to fix it. That was disruptive.

Hailey's Wedding

We weren't at the house all that much as we had activities with family for the wedding that we were attending, but it met our family's needs for all of us to stay in one place together. We didn't use the backyard much, but it is really nice with the Arizona weather. We did sit outside and drink coffee in the mornings, but it could really be used much more than we used it.

Quaint & comfy

Stayed here as a family total of 10. Sleeping arrangements perfect. Loved the backyard area…. Peaceful and very pretty at night with lighting. A/C works great too. Only areas of suggestion: - decrease chlorine in spa, we didn’t even use because it was burning our eyes just opening the cover. We left cover open hoping would decrease, but no luck. Bummer - more dishes for food prep and cooking please. We struggled to have enough to cook and serve for our group. Please add more large pots, pans, and bowls. Overall nice place! Ty

Old Town

We visited Old Town to attend spring training baseball games. The location was ideal for what we needed. We felt that the house was not as clean as it could be. The back yard oasis was very much a surprise for us and it was fantastic. We really enjoyed our evenings outside relaxing after the games. The kitchen had everything that we needed to prepare our meals. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Old Town, but felt the bathrooms and floors could have been a little cleaner.
