Beautiful spot.

The patio area is on the fairway, visited by doves, quail, bunnies. We loved watching the golfers! The home had everything we needed—comfortable beds, towels, nice sheets. Highly recommend!

It was great. Just felt like home.

I loved the area, the home was great. I bought a bird seed block at Ace Hardware and set up out back in gravel in a table and board. It brought in 30+ Quail and many other birds, but the best was the Love birds that came in every day. Neighbors are great, the lady next did have me many navel oranges that had to be the best I've ever had. All in all, great stay. Thanks Joyce!

Fun in the Sun

We had a wonderful time. The home was nice, beds were comfortable, and had everything we could possibly want or need during our stay. We enjoyed watching golfers during our morning coffee on the back patio. The only 3 suggestions I would recommend is, 1. Tear out the carpeting and replace with tile flooring. The carpet is dirty and the caret tacks draw blood when you step on them. Avoid stepping on edges of carpet. 2. Replace the garbage disposal. Since the dishwasher drains into the garbage disposal and the garbage disposal doesn't work, the drain back up into the sink. I would avoid using the dishwasher until the disposal is repaired or replaced. 3. The refrigerator is old and doesn't stay cold. Only buy enough groceries for a day or two otherwise, milk and meat will spoil within a few days. Other than that, we had a great time and will definitely book again. Joyce is a wonderful host!

Nice stay

It was a nice place to stay, very quiet, bonus was they allowed our pet to come with us, toy Pomeranian, she enjoyed being with us. Nice area to walk and golf , felt safe. We would recommend the garbage disposal to be replaced, it did not work. We do look forward to returning.

Golf course view

Wish we could have used the dog parks with grass. Told they were only for owners. Coyotes made us nervous. Showers were not great. Had to reef on the knobs to get them on , then barely warm water. Otherwise bed was comfy and enjoyed the pool.

Fountain of the Fun Sun

The house we stayed in was great. Very clean, nice view sitting in the back. Right on the 14th fairway. A fun golf course to play. Gated community with security. Nice club house called Birdies.

Great Location

Several things need to be addressed. The fridge makes a terrible grinding noise. The carpeting throughout needs to be replaced. The beds are very comfortable. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Golf ⛳️

A very comfortable home situated on a golf course in a 55plus community. More like 80 plus! So very quiet! Wonderful club house with very good food and drinks 🍸. Nice driving range on real grass. 18hole couse is short but is fun and cheap. Our 🐕 liked it but had to walk on the roads(had a marked trail). But some people didn't like dogs and had anti-pooping signs out. We walked our dog also on an area behind the house but not on the course. No one seemed to mind, but I'm sure the HOA might be concerned? Overall, the owner was great! And the property pleasant. Plan on going back next year if available! Mitch.

Mesa house

The house is really nice, I think the carpet needs to be changed. The front porch & back patio were ver messy, I had to sweep the patio before we could sit on it. The outside carpets blown out of place. The rocks holding them down had moved, better just to remove them completely, it would look better & be easier to clean. The rocks are a pain I tripped on one & my sister stubbed her toe on one. The house is lovely other than these things.

About the host

Hosted by Joyce Arendt

We have owned this property for a couple years after inheriting it from my father. We, (myself Joyce and my aunt Arleen). Both of us enjoy visiting it with our families and spending time in AZ when we are not busy with our lives in Minnesota. We particularly enjoy hiking the many trail systems through AZ and golfing.

Why they chose this property

My father purchased this home because he loved golf and loved sitting on the patio watching all the golfers go by.
