This property has some of the most outstanding views of any property we’ve ever stayed at. If anything, the location are exceeded the description in the listing. The house was expansive with wonderful room to enjoy the views. I would suggest that the master bed mattress be changed And extra linens provided. There was no top sheet on the master bed. Other than that, the property and our stay was excellent.
Rio Rico property is associated with VRBO and Evolve
The property was as advertised, specific to the size of the home and it's location. However, despite communication with the owner of the home specific to HEATING problems during the first three days of our stay, it still took repeated (3) visits from repairmen to fix the HEATING problem. Professional Heating repair, conducted by "Trane" (a well-known Heating contractor) did fix the problem on day 4 of our 7 day stay. When I notified the Property Management Company (Evolve) of this problem after vacating the home, Evolve just gave me the run-around by e-mail when I requested a 10% refund. I'll never deal with Evolve again, even if they are associated with VRBO. Lastly, I'm sure the hosts are great people, and it's unfortunate they are involved with Evolve as a Property Management Company. In my opinion, of course.
This is the nicest place with the nicest hosts I've ever stayed. The place was clean with a beautiful view. Loved every second of it here.

Upkeep needed
I will say that the master bedroom mattress was almost intolerable to sleep on. The mattress is old and worn. We were not grilling, however, if we had we would not have been able to use it. It was filthy. The grill and island need a deep clean.Your watering system is waisting water. There is a leak in the front line and water is going all over the place.
