We loved our stay here! The house is nicely laid out, kitchen was well stocked, best pool of any VRBO I have seen. Maricopa is a bit remote from the action but we didn't come to Phoenix for action, we came to relax, so it worked out perfectly. We ate at Plaza Bonita nearby and it was very good, and Good Donuts is great. If you are looking for a splurge, check out Quiessence about a half hour away; we had an awesome dinner there. The only dissatisfier was the cleanliness of the house--light switches were filthy, crumbs on the counter and in the frig, lotion on the bathroom counter. I arrived before my friends so took about 10 min to wipe down surfaces, not a huge deal, but it was noticeable. Other than that, would recommend this rental!
