Overall this is a very nice home. They had good checkin instructions and a nice bottle of wine as a welcome. The owner actually sent us a nice welcome text as well. We were their first non-family stay. There are some things they need to do to make this more of a $375-$400 night stay. The towels are very cheap, there is no king size bed in the master bathroom, and only 2 TV’s in the whole house. If you want to go upstairs to relax and get away, you have to go to the bonus room for a tv versus relaxing in your own room. The silverware, plates, bowls are counted and labeled as such. Which was confusing because the quality didn’t warrant a risk of theft. The lighting in the house is very bad, every light in the entire house were the same and it were bright daylight ones. When you turned the kitchen light on, it was overwhelming.
The bathrooms were not cleaned as promised, so we called the manager and she came out right away and did it herself. She was great to work with.
The neighborhood is very active, there are cars all over from the neighbors next-door to the neighbors behind us. Just be aware of that.
I think it would be a good idea for this owner to do a real deep dive into the quality that is charging significantly less than this a night. Even if you look at places around the same price range, Queen Creek or even Gilbert, they are way off. If you keep to this range at night, you really need to upgrade most of the non-furniture items in the house. We have stayed at several beautiful homes several times a year in Gilbert and QC. In our opinion, even with the same amount of sleeping room, this place should be around the $250 a night range.
