Our son graduated from GCU and this unit is within 13 minutes of GCU. We enjoyed all that came with unit. Nice view of the man-made lake from the 2nd story balcony porch. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool, and walking the lake. Also, close by the unit are many restaurants that we enjoyed, Pei Wei, Texas Roadhouse, Panera, etc. We highly recommend.

Check in was very easy. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms were perfect for our needs. We didn’t use the kitchen aside from the fridge and a knife and cutting board but it seemed to be well equipped.The space is very comfortable and spacious. Thank you for letting us use your space, we appreciate it!

Enjoyed our time at the condo
Condo was conveniently located. Host was helpful-got us a 2nd parking place when our daughter decided to join. Bottle of champaign in the fridge!. The lake was nice with a 1 mile loop, and we rarely heard other people/music, although my wife was awoken at times from the ducks/geese at the lake. The biggest improvement I could suggest is the queen bed could use a new mattress.

Just what we were looking for
My husband and I were on a quick get away. This was an easy trip from the airport, great parking and an awesome view. We enjoyed morning walks on the path around the little lake. The condo was more than what we needed, but we were drawn to the screened patio and the view of the water. We went to watch games at the Peoria sports complex, which was am easy drive. Would totally stay here again!

Cool time in Phoenix
Weather was very unArizona-like during our visit (cold & rainy). Property is in an older complex with a huge lake, but is we’ll kept. This 2nd floor unit has a large screened-in patio that overlooks the lake. Inside the unit is a spacious floor plan that is well-stocked with all the essentials. This unit is directly across from the swimming pool, hot tub, and pickleball court. The Owner was very responsive to minor issues we had during our stay!

Perfect place to relax...
Comfortable balcony overlooks a small lake that is .8 of a mile to walk around. Lovely place. Has extra things you love to find at a VRBO: full length mirror, a "real" hairdryer (not the whiny ones found at hotels) and more. We found it very quiet and relaxing.
