Vacation with grown kids

We enjoyed a week at the Prickly Pear VRBO with our two grown kids, spouses and one grandbaby. The three king suites were perfect for our needs. One concern w/ the hot tub was immediately addressed. The neighborhood was quiet, pleasant for walking, and yet so close to restaurants, grocery, hiking and a fun distillery. The unit was nicely supplied with everything we needed. Would definitely return!

Fantastic Home

We were a group of six friends (3 couples). Spent 5 days hiking in Sedona. The house is perfect. Lots of open space to cook and be together. But privacy with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. We loved the hot tub and the outdoor space as well. Well appointed home with everything you could need. Clean and comfortable, felt brand new. Avril was so nice and responsive. We couldn’t have been happier here!

Great house and well appointed!

We had three couples stay for three nights and the house was great. The house is well maintained and well appointed! Actual house & amenities are as good or better than the pics/description on vrbo. Good communication with property manager. *the only minor thing is the barn doors to the two bedrooms (main house)....although they look nice, they really don't provide much in terms of privacy (noise, light from kitchen/family room) but this is a very minor point - we would stay at this house again.

Extremely clean, All the amenities, GREAT Location!!!

We looked at a lot of VRBO's; it was a tough decision with so many options in Sedona. So many times, you choose one, only to have something you wish you would have changed. Not this one. Communication with the host was excellent. Property was exceptionally clean. The layout and decor was perfect. Kitchen was stocked better than any other VRBO we've stayed at. We are an active family and do a lot outside. There is no shortage of things to do in Sedona, from renting UTV's, hiking, shopping, and the restaurants are awesome...but we also like to cook, so this property was perfect. The main house is spacious and open; what's unique, is there is another full living space above the garage with kitchenette. So if you need a private space for another few folks, it works perfect. Garage has ping pong and games with TV. Outside includes a hot tub, sauna and large sectional with propane powered fire pit. Whole Foods is nearby and plenty of other grocery stores. Host also provides recommended activities, restaurants and hiking. Fall and winter would be better for hiking but during hot months, Slide Rock & Oak Creek are awesome for catching rays and cooling off. We stayed from Tuesday thru Saturday and it was the perfect amount of time to check off all the boxes. I think that everyone should take at least one trip to Sedona in their lifetime. It's a magical place, that if you allow it, will take you away from the hustle and bustle that life brings.

Avril was wonderful to work with through the whole process. The home is within walking distance of Sedonuts (a cute coffee/donut shop), reaturants and grocery stores. Well stocked kitchen made cooking meals a breeze. We enjoyed the comfortable beds and appreciated private Casita above garage. The game room was a big hit with the grandkids. Overall, a nice stay.

A great vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this home in Sedona. We loved that this home was close to all activities but still quiet! We enjoyed the outdoor space and used each night of our trip! We loved the kitchen fully stocked with appliances, cookware, etc! We used for breakfast each morning before hitting the trails! We loved the king-sized beds and that each bedroom had a private bath. This was perfect for our three couples on this friend trip! The extras like shampoo, body soap, conditioner, and detergent for washer and dryer was very much appreciated!! The owners provided a list of recommended restaurants, trails, things to do, plus a trailhead map that was a great plus as well! We had a small hiccup with check-in and with our living room TV, but owner was very responsive and provided immediate attention to these! Things happen, and we understand this, and we greatly appreciated the prompt attention we received! We would stay in this home again and will recommend!! This home provided a very welcoming atmosphere and decor, inside and out!!
