Santa Rita Ranch House | Family Friendly Desert Mountain Oasis

4 Bedroom House in Santa Rita Ranch, Vail

Have fun with the whole family at this stylish place located in the mountains. Experience the desert with no rear neighbors and spectacular mountain views while soaking in the pool by day and under the stars on those colder desert evenings. Explore the local hiking, cuisine and parks, something for the whole family to enjoy!
The home sleeps 9 people in beds and one more if choosing the couch. There is also a pack `n` play for the little one. If you are using this as a work and play space the desk is located in the family room so you aren`t missing out on all the fun. Just above the desk is the tablet that controls the heated pool and spa for your stay. There is a water gallon system located in the kitchen. You can choose to pick up the jugs of water if you would like to use it. Water is also located in the refrigerator. The fire-pit in the backyard requires propane. Please note: When propane tank is provided guests are required to fill during their stay for use. If you choose to use it you can bring the tank to the local Ace Hardware about 5 minutes away and they can swap it out or fill it for you.
Not everyone wants or needs to heat the pool. Some like a polar plunge! Even with our warm temperatures sometimes you still want that extra warmth in the desert. Please watch your children around the pool at all times. Should you want to heat the pool during your stay there will be an additional cost per day and a minimum of 2 day requirement. It will be $45 daily for April 1st - October 31st bookings, and $95 per day for November 1st - March 31st bookings.
The keypad is on the front door. Open unlocked security door to access keypad. Do not lock security door at checkout. There is also garage access. The remote is on the kitchen island. Please leave it there at checkout for the next guest. You will receive your access code via your app or email with a confirmed reservation.
As a host I am available as needed please feel free to message for immediate access or call in an emergency.
Any loud noises or disturbances reported after 8pm will incur a $1,000 fine.
Walking paths and park nearby, there are sidewalks. It is a quiet neighborhood. The HOA does ride around so no cars parked in the street overnight. This is NOT a RV friendly neighborhood, there is local parking for the RV at a storage yard nearby.
Most activities out of the community you will need a vehicle to travel to. I recommend renting a car or possibly taking a ride share for transit to nearby events.
For the safety of the owners and the community, cameras are on the exterior of the home. The pool can be operated via tablet on the wall near the back door above the desk. Please leave it plugged in at all times and in its place on the wall. The spa will take about 2-3 hours to get to temperature, max is 102. The pool will take about 24 hours to reach temperature, max is 86. Only one at a time can be heated. Spa will automatically turn off after 6 hours of heating. The pool/spa will need to be manually reengaged for heating. Please leave pool heated overnight if you are planning on using it for the whole stay. This will help with costs and efficiency. Pool contractor maintains the pool every Thursday. Pool cleaner and hose needs to be in pool an connected & submerged in water at all times. Any interruption to this will shut off pool operation as a safety feature. For all reservations you have the option to heat the pool and will be charged nightly for the duration of your stay. At that time a code will be provided. If you have questions please reach out.
There is a temporary hold of $500 for each reservation. It will be held beginning 2 days prior to checkout, and then automatically released within 10 days. Please note this is not a charge unless damages are incurred.
Leave beds un-made and place towels in washing machine with door open. All clean towels can be found in each bedroom for guests.
House must be broom swept and all perishable items tossed in the outdoor garbage pails. Pickup is Thursday early morning. Please have out at street Wednesday evening. If you stay during a trash day please place pails at the street and bring in after pickup.
No vehicles parked in the street overnight. No RV Parking allowed at any time or commercial vehicles.
Please note: When propane tank is provided guests are required to fill during their stay for use.
Loud noise should be limited after the hours of 8pm and before 8am.

Review Score:   8
Summary: The stay was largely wonderful. Communication/responses from the team were sometimes inconsistent, but largely the hosts were very helpful! We had some problems with the WiFi which the hosts addressed very quickly! The house was beautiful and a great spot to stay. We look forward to returning soon.
