My wife and I recently spent two weeks in this condo at Anasazi Village. We have holidayed in the Phoenix area for many years and, although we have been lucky enough to have never suffered through a complete dud, some of our rental experiences have been better than others. Our experience at this unit and complex was first rate.
The unit is nicely set up, very clean, and surprisingly roomy.
The kitchen is well equipped with everything most folks will require. The fridge is a new side by side model with an exterior ice dispenser. There is even a Keurig coffee maker.
The bedroom has two closets, including a walk-in. The king bed was extremely comfortable and there are blackout type drapes that keep the outdoor light from prematurely interrupting your sleep.
The bathroom has dual sinks and is big enough for two people to comfortably operate at the same time...a good thing because my wife and I are used to having our own bathroom.
This unit is on the 4th floor but there is an elevator to make life easy when dealing with heavier loads. There is a stairwell right outside the unit door.
The lanai/balcony is covered and is a nice size. It overlooks one of the pools. It also contains a large closet where the washer and dryer can be found.
Anasazi Village is a sprawling resort-style complex with five beautiful swimming pools and accompanying spas. The clubhouse has a couple of fitness centres, one of which is large and nicely equipped. We drove from Calgary and brought along our bikes, which we were able to store in a bicycle storage area (there are three). The assigned parking spot is right below the condo unit and it is covered to keep your vehicle shaded (a nice touch).
I suppose one of the things that pleasantly surprised us was the level of friendliness we encountered from absolutely everybody we met at Anasazi Village, from three-month snowbirds to fulltime year-round residents.
This resort is on a beautiful golf course and is only a 5-10 minute walk to shopping (Walmart, Target, Macy's, Costco) and good restaurants. There is also a very good outdoor recreation store (REI) beside Target.
There is a cycling path that runs adjacent to the complex.
Arlene was excellent to deal with and, on the two occasions we had minor questions for her, she was very quick to respond to our text messages.
Overall, we'd have to give our entire experience a full five-star rating. We hope to be lucky enough to be able to return sometime soon.
