What a lovely getaway
This a beautiful home that had everything we needed and more. Several comfortable outdoor sitting areas, warm and clean pool, with an amazing view of the lake. We enjoyed morning coffee on the upper deck! Kayaks were fun as well. Nice surrounding area with sidewalks. Owners were quick to respond to questions. Definitely recommended!

Lovely quiet oasis in the desert
Perfect spot to relax in the pool and view the lake. House has a lot of space to spread out and wonderful kitchen for cooking anything you could imagine. Owners are very friendly and responsive if you have any questions. Stayed in the summer time when most people don’t rent but the AC was great and the pool was refreshing. Beds were comfy and well stocked with nice towels. Would definitely stay here again!

This is an exquisite home in a perfect location. Plenty of privacy and still close to restaurants and shops. The pool is clean and warm with no extra charge; the lake and surroundings are absolutely beautiful. It’s extremely comfortable and very well stocked. Lots of little extras, which made the stay much easier. We definitely recommend⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Outstanding properties and owners
This was our second stay, first was August 2021, and we came back because we enjoyed it so much. Staying here feels like staying with a relative that has welcomed us into their home while they are away. On this stay, we had some problems with the pool and this is where we got to interact with the owners and can say that they were fantastic. They responded to the issue very quickly, actually listened and understood the issues and worked with us, to include having people over to make repairs on the day before Thanksgiving. They bent over backwards to do everything that they could. We were very impressed and appreciative. Things happen in life, mechanical things break, but if everyone treated their customers the way Rennae and Fred did, the world would be a much better place. I rarely leave online reviews, but my experience working with them was so great and atypical in the world today, that I wanted to share. Things don't always go according to plan and it's how people react to it that matters to me and the feedback I value. I couldn't have asked for anything more and highly recommend the owners and property.

Awesome home for a family reunion!
We couldn't have been happier with this home or our stay. The house had everything that we possibly could have wanted-a well stocked kitchen, enough room for all of us (kids and adults), the pool and outdoor area was very nice to have a morning coffee at, and the owners were very friendly, responsive and helpful with some things that came up during our stay. I would highly recommend!

Awesome Lakefront Location
The house was in good condition, well kept, and well appointed with everything a short- or long-term guest may need. The heated pool was awesome in November, and had a great serenity with the Islands Lakes just behind. My only negative is that the master bathroom commode/shower area didn't have a door, just a wood-fold barrier. My husband and I are close, but not close enough to poo with no door. It was odd, but didn't overly impact our stay.

Gorgeous!
Beautiful property, well-heated pool, friendly, generous hosts! This home is stocked with everything you could possibly need and then some. Our only disappointment is that we weren't there long enough to enjoy all the great sitting areas inside and out! We sat outside from early morning until late at night, enjoying the sun, the pool and the firepit by the water. Ate dinner and played board games for hours at the outdoor dining table, went up to the upper deck to drink champagne and watch the sunset. Went for walks, kayaked, saw a show at the Musical Instrument Museum. Perfect family getaway, we'd love to make this an annual trip and stay here every time!

My family and I stayed here (all 8 of us) for a wedding. The house, particularly the master bedroom was incredibly spacious with plenty of additional space in the back by the pool, or islands body of water. GREAT little coffee shop near by, highly recommend Grind Time coffee, just a couple mins outside of The Islands neighborhood. The hosts couldn't have been better to work with too! Highly recommend if you've got anything going on in the Gilbert/ Chandler area.

Perfect vacation getaway for the family.
This house was simply amazing. The owners had everything covered and a delight to work with. The house had plenty of room and all the amenities you can ever want from a vacation home in AZ. We brought my parents along as this was their first experience in a VRBO home. Let’s just say that the bar is now set extremely high. The house featured an open floor plan which allowed our family to enjoy each other while cooking and playing games. There was ample room for the chef of the family (mom) to do her magic. The kitchen was stocked with everything one would need including double ovens. The salt water pool was absolutely perfect and easier on our skin than your traditional chlorine pools. The backyard provided several different seating areas to enjoy coffee in the morning, beer in the afternoon or wine in the evening. They had bikes and kayaks along with fishing poles and other fun activities for us to enjoy. The highlight for the kids was getting to feed the baby ducks in the lake out back. Overall the best vacation home we have stayed at. We definitely recommend and will be planning to return in the near future. A/C Cable/Netflix Owners are delightful and shared local places they enjoy Pool and Lakefront (no swimming in the lake)

We travel a lot and know what to expect in VRBO's. This home is very well equipped and had everything we needed. Upon booking, Fred and Rennae provide a room by room list of every detail. The house (or destination) is spacious, well stocked, clean, and beautiful. The pool area and view of the lake will exceed your expectations. The pool was warm and the air just perfect. There is not one thing to complain about!! We hope to return again this year. Thanks to our hosts for a great VRBO visit.

The house is immaculate, the kitchen has everything anyone can need, the outside area was perfect, and it is very close to lots of fun restaurants. We loved that there were so many different seating areas around the pool, each with their own chairs an umbrella. Fred and Rennae were very responsive to all of our requests and provided a perfect getaway for my family. They even were flexible with dates due to COVID and let us move our time in order to accommodate changes to our itinerary. I highly recommend this place in Gilbert!
