TONTO VISTA HACIENDA TENANT COMMENTS A must see!! The pictures and description don't even begin to capture the beauty of this home!!!! We are staying here now for the month of Feb. 2005. Absolutely awesome place!!! Incredible and beautifully decorated!!!! Book it!!!!!! Amy 2/5/05 We had a great time staying at your house. You are quite fortunate to have such a beautiful home. Being in the desert for a couple of weeks is just what I needed. Bruce 3/21/06 We had a great time in Arizona and enjoyed the house with its views and amenities. Cindy and Sherri liked the decorations throughout the house, while the guys thought the big screen TV, hot tub, and ready access to golf courses were the most valuable features. Dave 3/27/06 My wife and kids were amazed with the house and view when we arrived last evening. Thanks for the bottle of wine also... we'll enjoy it on the veranda overlooking the beautiful mountains. Brian 3/27/06 It is with a sad heart that we'll be leaving your beautiful home today. Our flight out of Tucson is at 6:30 am. With the time change and losing an hour on the way home, we want to get closer to the airport. We've had just an unbelievable time. With all the sights we've seen (Sedona, Grand Canyon), we couldn't wait to get back to this oasis each night. Thank you for taking the chance on us--8 people including 4 kids--and allowing us the privilege. Mary 4/1/06 We spent a glorious week at this magnificent home. Thank you to our gracious hosts, Paul and Jacquie, who were kind and informative throughout both our planning and stay. This house is far more than a rental--it truly is a home, and a beautiful, tasteful, spacious one at that. It had all the comforts of home and more. The setting was as pretty as any we've seen. The location on the north side of Phoenix made travel to Sedona and the Grand Canyon much easier. But, we sure looked forward to getting home and relaxing on the back patio watching the kids play in the pool. You will not find a better home, a better spot, or a better price for all that makes up the experience of staying here. We hope it's our privilege to come back and HIGHLY recommend this to anyone considering it. Mary 4/10/06 Winding down from a relaxing day. Mark took the 4 children to Scottsdale for shopping and Grammy & I stayed home for a quiet time in the pool. Awesome. Your home is wonderful.
We were wondering if Easter time next year is available? We would really like to have 10 days. 7 is too short, and 14 seems too long for the kids! Any thought about that? Grammy is so appreciative for this time here and she loves the location. Grandpa died in November so this is her first time away. Thank you for having your home available and renting it to Us. We have loved being here. Our flight tomorrow is around 11:ish am. We will be leaving for the airport around 9:00 am. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home. Brenda 4/19/06 Hi! We loved your house and really enjoyed ourselves in sunny Arizona! We had a really great time...the view was magnificent. We hiked a little and rented horses from the stable you recommended.. Thank you for the privilege of renting your lovely home for our vacation! We so enjoyed its comfort, beauty and tranquility! We had a wonderful stay! We would love to return some day. Marsha 4/20/06 Thanks Paul - everything was absolutely fabulous! can you send me a link to the site so I can send it out to everyone to post their notes/comments. we had a great time! Roslyn 5/11/06 Natick, MA Hi Paul & Jacquie, Just a note to say thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. We are having a wonderful time! My husband, our son Adam, and our daughter Ruth, love the surroundings, your home, and the opportunity to spend this precious time together. All is well with the house. If there is anything we can do for you while we're here, please don't hesitate to ask. Again, thank you so much. 5/16/2006 We had one of our best family vacations. Staying in your home was absolutely delightful. Each day there was something new to discover, something new to enjoy. Thank you again. We hope to return to your beautiful desert retreat! Lori 5/29/06 Alexandria VA Yes!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! We had beyond a doubt the best time..even though the low temperature was 110. I have shared your web site with our General Manager who heard me raving about the house and how relaxing it was. I believe that you may be hearing from him sometime in the near future. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. Kathy 6/13/06 Sylvania, Ohio
The house was beautiful, and I can't say enough about the view. We had a great time, took a lot of pictures and are very appreciative of the privilege of staying there. We are interested in renting it again next year. We did use the spa 3 or 4 evenings during our stay for 1-2 hours at a time, but we never heated the pool. It was over 100 degrees every day, and we relished the cool water. Mike 6/20/06 Overland Park, Kansas Paul & Jacquie, Thank you, we had the most wonderful time. The house met our expectations and then some. Can you please provide me with Sharlene and Dean's mailing address? I'd like to send them a thank you note. They were so helpful and kind. I know they are on 18th, but I'm not sure what address. I personally would love to see the area and stay at the house in early spring. We rode horses nearby and I'd love to see the flowering desert. I'd also LOVE to stay at the place in Oregon sometime, it looks beautiful. Thank you both again, I've already recommended your place to several folks, they loved the photos and stories. Sincerely, Char Gurnee, IL 7/04/06 Dear Paul and Jacquie, We can't tell you how much we enjoyed the stay in your house. It was fabulous. We had my brother and his family come out for a long weekend from Pa., another friend from Florida and a friend from New Hampshire. We all couldn't believe how nice it was. The view was amazing and those lovely nights on the patio at sunset. The house was really well thought out and we appreciate you giving us a chance to stay there. I will be putting in a comment in vrbo about it. I also saw you have a house in Oregon. Where is that located? We might try that one next. Again thanks so much for the great time and we wish you all the best. Tom, Nikki, Erik and Faryn Rio Rancho NM 9/26/06 Dear Jacquie, We had a wonderful time at your beautiful hacienda! I wish there was a camera taking our picture when we all walked through the front door...the mountain view was spectacular. Everyone kept commenting on your decor of the house and the landscaping. there was so much to admire and all done with such exquisite taste. thank you so much for everything. the house was perfect for us. keep in touch. Jeanie 5/16 07
I just wanted to comment on how beautiful your home is. I was one of the Party who was there with Jean on May 5th. We had a wonderful time and we loved the house, pool and scenic view. It was a beautiful week and I am happy to have had the experience of the desert in such a beautiful home. Rhoda 5/15/07 "When we opened the front door we knew we had made the right decision! The view, the pool, the awesome home was just perfect! We stayed there with our grandchildren for a week and only left 3 or 4 times. One was for our grand daughters graduation. We just loved everything about the home. Everything was there except food and clothes. You don't need anything. The office was very nice, the roomy beautifully decorated home was so comfortable and cheery we didn't want to leave. If you need to sightsee or go shopping it is very convenient to I-17 and shopping but very isolated for that get away feeling. We enjoyed a trail ride in nearby Cave Creek and some short shopping in Carefree. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing vacation in the dry climate of the desert." Thomas & Family 6/10/07 Hattiesburg MS Hi Paul, Wow, did I pay for being gone for a week. I haven't had a chance to take much of a breath since returning. Let me tell ya, the weather was fantastic. We've been doing this for 10 years, and have never run into weather as mild as it was from Friday thru Tues. Wed was the first day that it hit 100+, and that continued on Thurs & Friday, but no complaints we had a great time. We weren't even gone before we started talking about next year. I wanted to let you know that we are interested in a threepete. We hope that you still have the property and will have us back. Mike 6/26/07 Overland Park KS We definitely enjoyed our stay. You have a lovely home with a wonderful view. We hope to go back again sometime, but in the meantime everyone that sees our pictures asks about the house. Elaine 6/30/07 La Selva Beach CA
