With your help, together we can spread some hope and happiness to others! “Please enjoy our home and we hope you feel love, joy, and adventure during your stay!” Love, The Hansen Family For more information about Kennedy's Story, view the Movie “Love, Kennedy” (available on Amazon Prime) If you desire to Donate, please go to kennedyshugs.com”

This property was perfect for our family while in the area visiting National Parks. It was very clean, well stocked and conveniently located near the pool and pickleball courts. We felt at home, had everything we needed and enjoyed the pool area. We highly recommend this property.

GREAT CONDO!!

We loved our stay at Escondido 1101. Location was beautiful and quiet. Great pickle ball courts and biking paths. The condo has a wonderful design, and was spotless and immaculate. Red rock was excellent to work with!!

Super clean! Great place!

This place is so so clean and organized. Very helpful management. It’s a beautiful place, decorated so well. The only comment I would make is that the AC is strictly controlled. 73 was a little warm for us to sleep in but other than that, the place was great. Also the pullout couch in the master is off limits so don’t count on using that. It was perfect for our family of 5.

Brownies

Everything was great from start to finish as part of the booking and checking-in process. The rooms were great. The big thing for me, aside from the location and rates, are the mattresses, bed decor (I know..), towels and furnishings. The brownies were a crowd pleaser. It was really a treat to have welcome us. The only downside was the ability to control the temperature. It was so hot upstairs and cold downstairs with instructions and locks to prevent changing the thermostat at all. In the middle of the night, the heater came on in our rooms and blasted, loudly, large amounts of hot air for a long time. We roasted. We would open the windows only to trigger the heat to come on again. It woke us up each time and was a big downside, so hopefully you will let your guests control that themselves. Since the cleaners come in soon after, they can adjusted it as needed.

inaccurate location

This was a lovely home, and would gene be a great location for a family or group trip. However, the location shown on the VRBO listing was incorrect. This is in a new neighborhood that is not yet on Google maps. I think the location shown in the listing is for a street with a similar name in another part of town. We had selected this property specifically to be in a particular area, but the actual location was several miles away from where we intended. I could have figured this out earlier if I had looked at the directions provided when we booked the property, but we did not look closely until we were driving down. Also, the directions provided by management company ended several steps before the actual property. So our trip got off to a disappointing and stressful start as we realized we would not be near the other families we were traveling with and as we randomly drove through neighborhoods looking for the house. We were able to reach someone at the management office Friday evening and we notified them of the errors of the location information. Hopefully that has been corrected.

Home base visiting National parks

Vacation visiting national parks! This property is definitely as pictured! We very much enjoyed coming back to this home base. Very clean , roomy and comfortable. May seem like small thing but nice to park in garage and ease of unloading car & groceries. Area was close to stores and restaurants. Only about 45 minutes from Zion , which was convenient!

We came for our son’s graduation. Great location. Iron man threw a wrench into getting to Zion , but we made it and witnessed the glory of Gods creation.

Baseball weekend

We loved our stay here! Perfect location, super close to the freeway (without feeling like you’re next to I-15) to get to our ball games! We loved being right across from the pickleball courts and pool- my kids could scope out an empty court form the front porch. We only wish the community had more courts! They were always busy! We loved riding scooters on the trails too. There was plenty of room for all of us- 4 adults and 4 kids. Loved having a washer and dryer to wash the baseball unis! The kitchen was huge and had plenty of storage. Beds were comfy and so nice to have all the extra blankets, pillows and bedding for extra beds. Would love to stay here again!

Beautiful property for families

Our family really enjoyed this property. It sits across the street from pool/waterslide/lazy river and 2 hot tubs. The kids spent hours each day doing laps even though it was March and not all that warm! Parents watched from the comfort of the hot tub. Pools are clean and mostly3’6” and 4’ at the deepest, so pretty safe feeling if kiddos can swim. You can see the pickleball court from the window which is nice to not have to wait in line for an available court. The beds are soft and comfortable with TVs in each room. The kitchen could be a little better stocked, but had all general necessities. The gas stove was nice to cook on. As others have said, the carpet is showing wear and bunching a little in high traffic areas upstairs, but that was a non-issue for us. The neighborhood feels very nice and safe. We will definitely stay here again!

Central location to Southwest UT adventure

The beds were very comfortable! Middle unit with pool right across the street. Nice finishes. Ample linens and kitchen was completely furnished with pans, dishes etc. I would suggest it’s time to replace the scratched Teflon pans and clean the living room rug. I appreciate the vinyl flooring on main level for easy clean up. We felt very safe in this area. Lovely unit.

Great spot!

We really liked this place. It was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool area right across the street from our unit on the last night of our stay. The only small issue we had was with the area rug under the dining table — the edges were curled up such that we kept tripping on it. We moved the table out of the way so we could rotate the curled edge side towards the wall so we could no longer trip over it. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful and Comfortable Home

We loved our stay with Red Sands. We stayed at Escondido 1101. The location was convenient, well maintained, and beautiful. The house was very clean and had everything we needed and more. Red Sands was very easy to get ahold of when I had a question. The pool will be amazing here once it's finished. We were able to watch some of the construction during our stay, but it was never disruptive at all. Because there was no pool access yet, we were able to use the Washington Community Center. This place was absolutely a highlight of the trip for our family. My kids loved the water slides, lazy river, and climbing the rock wall! We throughly enjoyed our stay and it was very affordable for our family of six. We can't wait to vacation again with Red Sands.
