Great to come Back!

We had the pleasure staying at the Oasis 5 years previously and it did not disappoint our second time around. Great communication with our host, and all our guests enjoyed their stay. Quiet neighbourhood with beautiful parks for our little one and comfortable amenities. Would highly recommend if you like to cook and be outside on your AZ holiday :).

Perfect San Tan Valley Retreat

Can't say enough about Kurt and Amy's place. This is the second year I've stayed here. The pictures they have online don't do justice to what you get here. While the inside of the house has amazing amenities, spacious kitchen, terrific bar area, living room, great bedrooms, it's the outside that really seals this deal. Very large area with everything you need. You can spend morning, afternoon, and evening outside. Swimming, lounging, cooking, eating, and even watching TV is that is what you want. House backs up to park area, so great privacy. I will most certainly be back when I'm in the area! Amy and Kurt are terrific people and have a terrific place!! Thank you for allowing me to stay at your place!!

We loved the property and would stay here again. We used the pool everyday and loved how stocked everything was. The only minor complaint is that my kid's wished the drapes were darker as the morning sun came up earlier than they wanted to get up. The owners were so responsive and helpful.

Wonderful

We truly enjoyed our stay at your home. When my kids and grandkids where visiting they where in the pool from morning until night! Pool heated up quickly and when temps stayed up it retained it fairly well. The park green space was nice and back area was very spacious. We truly enjoyed the outside tv area with the propane fire table. I slept well on a great mattress in the king room and all the sheets where smooth and soft to sleep in We did not want to leaveWe felt very comfortable and safe walking and biking around the area. The common pool was only .4 mile walk We learned more aboutPickleball and played quite a bit. The bike ride there and to another pool was about 2 miles. The house had everything we needed, including pool stuff, comfortable furniture and outside kitchen with gas smoker grill and Weber grill. The house was comfortable with reclining couches and large tvs. The host couple responded very quickly with any questions we had and where kind. We did not want to leave and hopefully return again!!!!

The communication with the owner was great and the property was very clean and had everything needed to cook and bbq. And between the pool outside, pool table, games, and streaming on the tvs there was plenty to do and we were never bored and the bar was a great touch. Also the rooms/bathrooms were very clean and the bed was super comfy! Definitely going to be coming back!

Lacked Nothing

Of all the houses we have stayed, and we've stayed in a lot, this home was by far the best stocked one ever! We didn't need to rush out to go "stock up" on everyday items... like foil, coffee filters, trash bags, soap, paper towels, spices.... We truly just unpacked and enjoyed ourselves! We'd give it 5 stars for sure!
