Surprise! Your personal spa-like retreat! | House in Surprise

Welcome to your private oasis. A spa-like setting at a fraction of the price.
Lounge on the pool deck or under the pergola, refresh yourself in the heated/cooled pool, relax in the hot tub, or enjoy the evening by the fire pit - whatever fits your mood. And, of course, barbeque and dine outside as you wish...all in your secluded backyard.
But that is not all! There are Smart TV`s in every room (use your own streaming services) - even one on the patio! - so relax and enjoy!
This home is a great oasis to relax, but close to restaurants and desert activities. During your stay, you will likely feel like you have the entire street to yourself. If you like to walk, we recommend taking a stroll in the surrounding neighborhoods, but take your phone! The streets wind around in unpredictable ways, so you may need GPS to find your way back. :-)
If you stay with us, look for the personal touches throughout the house. In the hallway to the two extra bedrooms, you will see some art created by a family member that depicts what you will see if you stand on your tip toes in the backyard at sunset. What others can you find?
Between April 15 and October 1, the pool will be maintained at a minimum temperature of 80F (note that on a cool night, it may take until about Noon for the heater to get to that temperature) and a maximum temperature of 89F (note that the pool can get warmer than that during the day). During the remainder of the year, the pool will be heated on demand, at a cost of $25/day, but note that we will likely need to start the heating before you arrive (number of days depends on weather conditions). Hot tub is available for your use, however, and the cost of heating is built into the rental price.
Following Memorial Day, and extending through Labor Day, the hot tub and outdoor TV are shutdown due to extreme heat that is common for this area. In addition, temperature control of the house during that period is managed remotely as this house is on the Arizona Power Supply power management system. If you have questions about what this means, please feel free to ask.
You will have complete access to the house and property. Use of the house and property by people not in the booking requires prior approval and may be subject to additional cost.
We are easily reached via text, email, or phone call for any need you may have. Take a look at the guest book we have in the property for a bunch of valuable information!
As indicated previously, this is a very quiet and private neighborhood. Almost all of the neighbors are full-time residents, so you can count on having people around you. And they are very welcoming! If you bump into a neighbor, stop and say hi. In just 5 minutes of conversation you are likely to find something in common that will make you feel even more like you are at home. Which is what we hope you will experience!
To be honest, we have no idea what the public transportation is like in Surprise...if it even exists. But the main streets are laid out in a logical manner, so once you know Bell and Reems roads, you can get to/from the house easily. Note that Sun City West and Sun City Grand are nearby, so if you wander into those areas, you will find drivers that are on the elderly side of their lifetimes. Pack your patience.
All 5 TV`s on the property are `Smart TV`s`. We provide 600 mB internet access for your devices and, or course, for you to use your streaming services.

And apologies if most of this seems pretty obvious. Sadly, we have found that it is not obvious to everyone.
1. No illegal activity on the property.
2. No smoking or vaping in the house or the garage, in the pool, in the hot tub, on the outdoor day bed, or within 40 feet of any entrance. If you leave smoking remnants on the property, if there is damage due to ashes, or if there is a lingering smell in the house or on linens or furniture, expect to be charged an additional cleaning bill.
3. If the house is in heat or cool mode, all doors and windows must remain closed, except while in use.

5. Security system rules:
a. If you have children in your group, you must set the system to Armed - Stay when you go to bed. This will ensure that the alarm will sound if one of the munchkins decides to take a midnight swim. No one wants an accidental drowning.
b. You are strongly encouraged to set the security system to Armed - Away when you leave the property. The neighborhood is very quiet and low risk for issues, but you can never be too sure.

b. The backyard is not a playground. No running laps around the pool, throwing balls, etc. If you have children present, you are responsible for ensuring that they follow all the rules. Note that there are some great open spaces very nearby, however, so those activities do have an outlet. :-)
c. When using the backyard, no glassware of any kind. This includes glass bottles containing beverages. We provide plastic glasses in the kitchen area and we expect you to use those in lieu of glass items.
d. With the exception of the day bed (under the pergola) and fire pit table, you are free to move the backyard furniture around to suit your needs. Please do not drag the furniture across the deck and do NOT place furniture on the artificial grass. Please return the furniture to its original location before departure.
