Will stay here again!

Renters beware: Owner is not forthcoming in her advertisement. When renting the property, I specifically asked if the property was pet friendly and the response was “yes” Based on her picture of the property’s patio, one is led to believe that there is an enclosed yard. What she failed to list is that the patio is only enclosed on two sides and one is open to all the other neighbors yards with easy access to street from the yards themselves. I have two small dogs that were staying with me at this property and for their well being, I could not have them running all over the neighbor’s yards and into the street. Rather than making an issue of this, I placed a small metal dog fence across the yard. Two weeks into my tenancy, I was informed via text by the property owner that the HOA was demanding that the barrier be removed immediately or face a fine. I asked the owner to address the barrier issue with the HOA and she told me to contact the HOA myself. I left the property early because of the safety of my pets and the inconvenience of not having a fenced in yard. The owner refused to make any financial compensation for me having to leave the property early. For the most part, the property was clean. The cable is limited and full instructions for using it is not provided. The property is dark and has poor lighting which is compounded by burnt out ceiling lights. There are constant loud appliance noises that make it uncomfortable to be in the home, especially at night to sleep. Both the bed and sleeper sofa mattress is hard and very uncomfortable. HOA rules that are pertinent to your stay are not provided ahead of time. The owner is indifferent about all matters brought to her attention as well as slow at addressing concerns. Her excuse being that she never receives the message. In addressing pertinent issues, the owner is bad-mannered and unwilling to take responsibility in resolving them in an equitable manner.

We loved our place and time here. Wish we could have stayed.

The property was exactly as shown on Homeaway. It was clean, it had everything we needed, linen, towels, kitchen ware, even Rubbermaid storage boxes. The high ceiling in the family room made it feel even more spacious. The yard was small but adequate (It is after all a 55+ community). We walked our dogs around the gate community and we were welcomed. The keys to gate to the outside park so our dogs could enjoy some grass was great. We had some questions for Suzzane and she answered the next day.

We enjoyed our stay tremendously! Very nice, well equipped condo. We felt safe, people were friendly, and there is a lovely desert trail which connects to parks right behind property. We would definitely stay there again!
