Perfect home for our stay

This property was great for our stay. There was 7 of us total and there was lots of space for everyone. The home was clean and we especially enjoyed the plush towels. The pantry was also stocked with basics which made the stay pleasant. Overall it was a great stay!

Great stay!!

We had a pleasant stay. The room were great. House was clean. The outdoor area was Fantastic!! Loved the pool, yard games and pool toys. Waterfall made a nice ambiance at night along with the lights. All our questions we had were answered promptly. Nice appliances and kitchen to cook meals. We would definitely stay here again. The king size beds were very comfortable. The other two beds were firmer. Loved the pillows and bedding.

Tara House needs TLC

It was a late and quick decision to go to PHX for work and thought I would bring some family members. I thought we could have a nice place and pool to have fun. Word of advice, pay a little more for a better house, neighborhood, better basic amenities, clean and heated pool, working TV’s, a house you don’t have to worry about. Oh, and don’t forget the bathroom privacy issues. No bathroom privacy. Bathrooms have glass doors and windows that only have clear frosted film. You can see almost everything. If I can see out, others can see in. It was embarrassing to see adult silhouettes during showers and bathroom uses. While outside you could see almost everything. The TV’s didn't work until the last day of my stay. Multiple text messages and try this or try that. I am not a TV tech, I just want it to work. The pictures of the home have a nice coffee bar presented. No coffee or condiments anywhere. Yes, we had to buy coffee, sugar and cream. The home is older and has old house issues. No and delayed Host or Vacasa contact. I saw the house and immediately contacted the Host for pool heating options. I waited a few days, no response. The other homes I was looking at were booking fast. I read the reviews and others liked the pool, so I booked it before it was gone. I sent another message about the pool. No response from Vacasa. Two messages sent. No response. I sent a 3rd follow up email to the now booked house invoice. Now they responded, “no heated pool.”

Inaccurate listing. Poor property management.

The listing stated pool heating was available. Upon booking, we noted we would like the pool to be heated. We were notified TWO days before our trip that pool heating was not available, and that pool heating had not been offered at this property for some time. At that time we asked for a refund and they refused. We then asked for a discount - radio silence. We intended to enjoy a pool during our stay and specifically looked for properties that offered pool heating. The pool temperature was below 60 degrees upon arrival, and was completely unusable. We would not have booked this property had they been forthcoming about the pool heating.Additionally, even if the water had been warm enough, the pool vacuum did not work and was not cleaning the pool as intended. We notified management and they came out and got it running. By the end of the day, it wasn't working again.The listing also advertised an outdoor firepit and indoor fireplace. Upon arriving and reading the welcome binder, we found out that both of these were not to be used by guests.We were staying during Superbowl weekend and not only could we not use the pool, we could not use the firepits. Then when we went to fire up the grill to cook for the game, there was no gas. There also was a leak under the kitchen sink, and it looked like it had been there for some time.Listing needs to be updated to accurately describe amenities. Poor management all around.

Nice place for a family of six

Was needing a place for a family of six during the Christmas holiday and this house worked out well for us. It was very spacious inside and was nice to have fenced in back/side yard. Was unable to use the pool due to lack of communication with support but otherwise fit our needs. Good location between north and central Phoenix.

We had a fantastic stay! The home was perfect—spacious, with two master bedrooms and a wonderfully comfortable bed. We loved the quiet area, which was so relaxing, and the pool area was great for lounging and unwinding. Highly recommend this spot for a peaceful getaway

The dream home

This is how our dream house would like!!! Love the pool and outside grill!! We lived our best life there and the location was great too! Just on the out side of the city which gave us easily access to Phoenix itself or more up North to places like Sedona or the Grand Canyon National Park!

Perfect Family Getaway

Tranquil on Taro was the perfect family getaway for a warm week in Phoenix! The home is spacious with four bedrooms, and an upstairs office loft. It was very clean and comfortable. We were so excited to see it has two master bedrooms with king size beds and TVs in each room, and two queen size smaller bedrooms. The backyard is so fun whether laying in the sun, enjoying the pool or playing games. Would recommend and stay here again!

Nice place to stay

We came as a family group of 8 with children and grandchildren. The house was spacious and the backyard very nice. There were some pool floaties . We did have pool issues but the local vacasa guys worked really hard to get that going for us. The bedrooms are spacious. The mattresses are hard, so if you do not like that.. keep that in mind.

No heat in the pool

This was a nice vacation home and with the exception of some minor issues could easily be a 5 star rental. The heater in the pool obviously was not working, water temperature stayed between 73 and 75 degrees but I did get refunded for the additional money for pool heating. Also the bedrooms did not have dressers for storage. Other than that my family did enjoy the week we were there, it was very relaxing and a very beautiful rental close to everything.

Terrible service from VACASA

Paid for the pool to be heated, it wasn’t. Was told it would be refunded but have now yet received the full amount we paid. Also we were told we could move and get refunded yet that has not been refunded yet. Now we have paid way more and had the inconvenience of moving mid stay.
