Desert Canyon Retreat is located in the Ahwatukee Foothills. Once referred to as the "worlds largest cul-de-sac" because of its quiet neighborhood feel. Accessibility to the Ahwatukee Foothills was greatly improved with the introduction of the South Mountain Freeway in 2019 (Loop 202) which greatly reduced commute times. Now commuting anywhere in the greater Phoenix area is a breeze, just jump on your closest onramp and you're on your way.
Though the freeway improved the access, it doesn't take away from the neighborhood feel.
Entire space plus amenities is included in this rental. Guests have access to all areas of the house and property except a few cabinets in the laundry room and garage and an outdoor storage shed which holds owner's property.
