This is a decent place for a family trip in the Estrella Mountain neighborhood. The location of the place is good, not far from the shopping plaza.
The outdoor spaces at this property are stunning, absolutely beautiful with lovely landscaping and great features like the hot tub and fire pit. They were the highlight of this place and by far it’s most redeeming quality.
At the time we booked this property, it was a good value for the neighborhood. However, there were a few issues- most having to do with the listing statement that the property sleeps 10 guests.
I have a large family with multiple married children and we came to stay the week of Thanksgiving as we celebrated the holiday with family in the area. We had read the count of rooms with beds when booking the listing and noted a living room and family room. Due to the value price, and the relatively small amount of time we were planning to spend in the house due to the holiday- while we didn’t see the other 4 sleeping accommodations accounted for in either the bed count or description (ie. the couch in the living room is a pullout and the couch in the family room is large enough to sleep two) we went ahead with booking, assuming the couches must sleep the additional four spots not listed.
- There is no way this property sleeps ten, even using the couches- none of which pull out. if three people are willing to “crash” on the couches like my college age boys that still only accounted for 9. As it stood even using all the couches, one of my daughters and her husband had to stay at our extended family’s house- which was not what we had planned when booking a house that stated it would sleep all of us.
- The cabinets were equipped with plenty of plates and bowls but only 6 cups (although there were some mugs too) again, making the 10 occupancy number a bit of a question.
Overall as we just had booked as family for a place to sleep, while spending the weekend with our extended family in the neighborhood this place was workable but had its challenges. However, if we had been staying here for the entirety of our vacation planning to cook, eat and live here for the duration of our stay it would never have worked in an enjoyable way. The house comfortably sleeps and accommodates 6 adults- flexibly, perhaps up to 8 if people are willing to sleep on the couches but this should be written into the descrip
