Great Az Christmas
Submitted: January 3, 2012
Stayed: December 2011
First - thanx to Lance for sharing his beautiful Goodyear home with my family in order that we could experience our first Az Christmas. Although he did not have much to do with the weather (which was absolutely wonderful - especially when coming from Michigan in December), his home provided a great location and all the amenities necessary to host an Az Christmas our family will never forget. As our adult children were flying in (and out) from Ohio and Oregon, we found the drive to the airport quite manageable (about 30 minutes of easy driving one way). We were minutes away from the Estrella Mountain Regional Park, where we took the opportunity on two occasions to go hiking (including Christmas morning). On our way to the Estrella Park, we passed the major league baseball facilities, confirming their close proximately to the property as well. That of course is for another season. Getting to Mesa, Apache Jct, and Gold Canyon for more hiking and touring was also no problem.
The recreation facility available to renters was also very adequate. Although not large, it does have the necessary fitness equipment to get a good work out. Equipment was in good condition and never too busy. The pool looked very inviting, especially after a hard work out, but at this time of year, we did not venture in. The rec facility is well maintained and the surrounding park is well groomed. Nice green space for outdoor activities.
The home is well decorated, furnished and laid out. Everything in it's place and everything required to make your stay enjoyable. We made good use of the back deck (good mix of sun and shade). Even used the outdoor grill, to help cook the Christmas turkey. The sheltered back yard made the cooler December sun feel great. The mature backyard trees I'm sure will provide great shade in the warmer months.
Yes the house was great, but as equally important (perhaps even more so), was by dealings with Lance (the home owner). His communications/instructions were clear and concise, making the entire transaction simple (literally "turn key"). He addressed all questions / concerns promptly and gave me confidence that I was dealing with a trustworthy individual.
I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in the Goodyear Az area.
