Stunning Family Resort Style Home - Swimming Pool + Full Tennis Court

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house that suited our group. We had a lovely time and particularly enjoyed the pool and tennis court. One thing, the bedding configuration section advertised that one of the living rooms had couches that made 4 beds. In reality, one living room had 2 couches and the other had 2 couches. This was problematic for us as we were expecting to put three teenage girls together."

Relaxed Luxury with Stunning Pyramid Views & Private Pool

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at Mountain Breeze Retreat. The home is beautifully designed with gorgeous furnishings, stunning views, cool breezes and a well‑equipped kitchen. Everything was spotless, the beds were super comfy, and the pool was a standout — crystal clear, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. The hosts were wonderfully friendly, gracious and helpful when needed, and their sweet little poodle made the stay even more special. We’d return in a heartbeat!"
