A Gem in the Desert
Review Submitted: August 1, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
Six girlfriends and I spent 3 nights here in July, to celebrate our 50th birthdays this year. The resounding consensus: we couldn't have found a more beautiful, restful, charming, lovely, convenient place to stay. As soon as we walked in the front door we knew we were "home". Everything we could want in a home was included. It was like staying in your best friend's house - a best friend who happens to have a beautiful sense of interior design, landscaping, and hostess skills. Every little detail was included: hair dryers, pool towels, pool toys, plastic dishes for outside, paper towels, coffee/tea service, books, Vegas guides, etc.
Our focus was spending time together rather than "doing" Vegas, and this was the perfect location for that. There are so many seating areas both inside and out, and we followed the sun and our mood from the inside family room, to the kitchen bar, the various shaded areas in the backyard, the pool, and the various chairs and lounges in the sun around the pool.
When it was time to see Vegas, it couldn't have been simpler. A few minutes to I15 north, a quick run a few miles north on the highway, then a quick exit to the Strip. And pickups/dropoffs for the airport were less than 5 minutes away at the car rental building. Our friends just jumped on the car rental shuttle bus to/from the airport.
The hostess gave me very detailed information on how to find and use all the amenities in the home; how to arrange airport transportation; made suggestions on shopping/eating/grocery store/gas station locations. She basically welcomed me into her home, and made me feel that my friends and I should enjoy every aspect of her home, as though it was ours. I cannot say enough good things about this home rental. It is truly a very special gem.
