Desert Canyon Retreat is located in the Ahwatukee Foothills. Once referred to as the world's largest cul-de-sac because of its quiet neighborhood feel. Accessibility to the Ahwatukee Foothills was greatly improved with the introduction of the South Mountain Freeway in 2019 (Loop 202) which greatly reduced commute times. Now commuting anywhere in the greater Phoenix area is a breeze, just jump on your closest onramp and you're on your way.

The freeway improved the accessibility, but it doesn't take away from the quiet neighborhood feel.

Entire space plus amenities is included in this rental. Guests have access to all areas of the house and property except a few cabinets in the laundry room and garage and an outdoor storage shed which holds owner's property.

OUTSIDE: Enjoy incredible sunset views over the desert hills from the spacious backyard complete with a heated pool. The outdoor dining area has seating for up to eight guests and has a propane grill. Catch up on great conversations in the lounge chairs and additional poolside seating. Have fun on the putting green or a game of corn hole.

KITCHEN & DINING ROOM: Spacious kitchen is updated and fully equipped. Dining table seats eight and has an extension to accommodate additional seats. Highchair and booster seat provided.

LIVING AREAS: The living room overlooking the patio and pool area has seating for seven with a reclining sofa, love seat, and additional chairs. 65 smart TV is viewable from living room, dining room and kitchen areas. The additional separate sitting area is a quiet space with seating for three.

GAME ROOM: Complete with a pool table, barstool seating and a 55 smart TV. There is a guitar sitting in the corner just waiting for someone who can play to pick it up!

MASTER BEDROOM has a king size bed w/ memory foam mattress, 55' smart TV, and a quiet reading nook w/ chase lounge. Master bathroom with walk-in closet. Additional bathroom with direct access to the patio.

BATHROOMS: 4 bathrooms, 3 showers, 1 bathtub

GARAGE: Ping pong table can be easily moved for garage parking.

LAUNDRY: Onsite washer and dryer

POOL: The pool is heated with a heat pump installed in 2022 with the water temperature maintained at 85 degrees. The heat pump is somewhat dependent on the ambient temperature, so if daytime and nighttime temperatures are extreme the pump may not be able to maintain the 85 degree set point. This isn't an issue other than during a winter cold-snap.

    Desert Canyon Oasis Family Vacation. This was a beautiful property in a quiet neighborhood. We rented while on a a business/small vacation week trip. The pool gorgeous and clean- during our 6 day stay, pool guys where there at least twice. Spacious home, great layout, with majority of bedrooms in one end of the home, and the common areas at the other end. I prefer cooking to eating out, and this home was well equipped with cooking/baking essentials. Beds were comfy, everything was spotless, internet worked perfectly and the overall feel of the home/space was one of tranquility. We all agreed that we would return!

    My out of town children and grandchildren stayed at this beautiful property while here for my daughter’s wedding. The house and yard are actually more inviting and spacious than the photos suggest. All aspects of the stay were great and Clark and Chela were very helpful and responsive.

    Celebrated my dad's 95th birthday with family and so enjoyed our stay. My dad of few words said several times how great this place was! Awesome setting next to the foothills with wildlife sightings of coyote, road runners, quails, great horned owl, hummingbirds and more. Clark and Chela owners were great at communicating anticipated needs and immediate response back to any questions. Thumbs up to a great place to stay.

    We had a wonder stay in this home. It was clean, well equipped and in a quiet neighborhood. 20 mins from almost everything we wanted to do. We were on coyote watch each morning and had fun watching the humming birds and rabbits along the mountain side. If that’s your thing- bring a pair of binoculars! The pool was very relaxing and had pool floaters with a machine to blow them up! Something that’s been missing from other VRBO’s I’ve stayed at in the past. The pool and the ping pong table were fun as well! We would absolutely stay here again!

    It is a beautiful clean home. I have been on many VRBO vacations but have not seen a more well stocked home! The owners are very responsive and go above and beyond to accommodate you and your needs. Would certainly rent the home again. Highly recommend!
