Gilbert, Arizona
Large family dream vacation! Beautiful pool (optional $110-$140 extra per day to heat, minimum 3 days, usually needed October-April. Discount can be applied by agreeing to put on pool cover each evening after use. (takes 2-3 minutes). October, November, March, April $110/day; December, January $120/day.)
We are close to downtown Gilbert and its incredible restaurants, with easy freeway access to Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix. Freestone park with tennis, basketball, volleyball and rides is 1 mile away. You’ll love our backyard oasis with a pool, hot tub, sunken trampoline, zipline, sportcourt, firepit, putting green, hammock, trees and grass for games. Inside enjoy large open spaces and gathering areas, including an indoor gym and a basement with a projector and ping pong.
Bedroom 5 with the Murphy queen bed and twin, also acts as our game room. With a ping pong table and projector with large sectional to watch movies.
We have a separate VRBO on the property. We turned our Attic into a rental 4 years back. They have no access to the back yard. There are no windows upstairs to the backyard, only to the front yard and East side so there is no visibility into the backyard. They have their own private driveway on the opposite side of the property with their own external staircase to the upstairs apartment. It’s no different than a next door neighbor. Literally zero interaction.
Flood irrigation no longer impacts the use of the backyard grass. We installed a sprinkler system and burms to keep the water just to the back trees.

We really enjoyed our time in Gilbert. The home is super close to anything and everything you need. The backyard is amazing and our kids loved every minute of it!
First of all, the hosts are fantastic…very responsive. The backyard is better than described. We spent EVERY day in the pool. The zip line, trampoline, putting course, and hoops area were bonuses…as was the movie theater in the basement. We will be back!
The outdoor area was perfect!!! So much to do! And, so many amenities close by!!!
We had our volleyball team stay here during a tournament and they loved the space and had too much fun with the backyard. What a great family friendly place. We also enjoyed the big kitchen table so everyone could sit down and eat together.
While my rating gave a 5 star - I would rather it was a 4.75. There were several things on the property that needed fixed. I did let the owners know and they said they would get right to it. It does say for a heated pool it would be an extra fee. At the price we paid, I really feel it should have been included. Not to anyones fault, it was cold and rainy the entire time we were there so it was a waste of money for us to have it heated. We did pick fresh fruit and ate it., a complete bonus. There is tons of room and worked great for our large family. It is nice you can section off the house with pocket doors if you need to make things quieter at different times of the day. The sunken family room is nice, however for older people they don't see the floor heights. and my parents were constantly trying to figure out the floor. It would be nice if a nightlight was put at each of the steps. Tons of stuff to do in the backyard. A true kids delight - especially if they are about 10. My teenagers enjoyed the basketball court - in between rain showers. My 20 year olds enjoyed the garage gym. My parents enjoyed the giant kitchen table to play cards at for hours. Overall we had a great time. The family responds quickly to text messages. The .25 knock off points for me is really the items that need fixed and the fee for the pool - which was stated - I just didn't like it. Overall, I would stay again. It was clean. The beds were comfy - every single person said their bed was great. Having other guests on the property really isn't a problem, however it is kinda weird to hear the upstairs guests when you least expect it. We never saw or met the other guests, just heard them at night. Also, you are requested to read the property instructions - you should do this ASAP. Might help you out. Full disclosure - I rarely give 5 stars - I am a Hotel Snob, so take it for what that is worth.
We had a great time staying at this house. The backyard is big with plenty to do and the house itself is nice and big with lots of space. They also included games and stuff for outside which is nice. The owners are also very responsive which is helpful if you need to get in contact for the pool or anything. I spoke with Erik a couple times and he was very nice. A couple things we didn’t know going into it… they have a separate air bnb they rent out upstairs so that whole area is occupied with random guests. They also have a big driveway to park a lot of cars, but durning the stay we noticed people driving by checking on us and the house. The neighbors don’t like when you park on the street so we were constantly having to move cars and play Tetris in the driveway, even though their neighbor to the left has a huge trailer parked on the street. We were also told by the end of our stay that their maids found throw up in the master shower and we should probably make that right. My husband and I showered the night before we left and there was no throw up so we were very confused by this. All in all, it’s a great house with a fun backyard for a lot of people, but if you don’t feel like being monitored 24/7 then it might not be the best fit.
This place was amazing and the wonderful owners were so helpful! There were 13 of us from 5 to 66 and I think everyone enjoyed it as much as the next! Thank you so much!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Erik & Bridget’s place. The history of the home was very sweet as well. Erik was super responsive to any questions we had and it made for a fabulous and memorable weekend.
We booked this with another family for my daughters wedding and the house and yard were amazing! The owners were the absolute BEST to work with! This also made ALL the difference! We made beautiful memories that we will always cherish in their home! We would definately book again!!!
Happened to be there during irrigation and it made the yard pretty messy but we still had a blast
The pool is so amazing and provides hours of enjoyment. It’s close to wonderful dining and shopping.
Beautiful place for a family vacation
Amazing stay, everything a family could need or want was at this property. Spent most of our time at the house and didn’t venture out as much we had planned…there was so much to do right in the backyard. We will definitely be back to make more family memories here ?
I would definitely stay here again, the back yard was amazing.
Wonderful property and great communication from the owners. Our family had a great time! Great location, close to anything you need and also in a quiet neighborhood for relaxing at the pool with quiet nights by the fire making s’mores! Our family had a great time and really appreciate the hospitality! Thank you so much!
Me & my husband wanted to book a trip with our children and this was the perfect place! We have an 8 year old, 2 year old and 6 month old. The 8 year old and 2 year old loved the pool and back yard. We loved that the pool was securely gated so they couldn’t get in without one of the adults. Our 6 month old was able to find shade to sit under because of the large amount of trees. We loved that there was shade but also that the pool was positioned to be able to get sun and a tan while swimming! The house is in the cutest neighbored and close enough to walk (about 1 mile) to get some coffee and other items. We would definitely recommend and hope to return!
It was such a wonderful property for a fun weekend away! The pool was amazing!
This place is perfect for outdoor family fun! We had 3 families combined...6 adults and 7 kids (3 @ 16; 2 @ 14; 2 @ 12) and we all had a blast! We took full advantage of the outdoor amenities offered and had plenty of room for us all to prep meals and eat and sleep comfortably! Communicated with Erik almost everyday of our trip and he was very helpful with information and answered all our local questions!
