Reviews of Onyx Properties
"I stayed in one of the Midtown 718 apartments for several months. It's beautifully furnished and has great amenities. The staff was easy to contact if I had any issues, but I had everything I needed. Lisa is a great host and the location is awesome! I loved being able to walk downtown." - Emma J.


"Had an amazing stay at “Happy Hours” for 3 months! Lisa and Elizabeth were very accommodating, there were times where the AC unit wouldn’t work and they were very easy to contact to fix the issue. They always checked in to see how we’re doing or if the house was meeting our needs. Can’t beat the rent price either. Highly recommend!" - Patricia B.


"Onyx Properties offers well appointed furnished apartments for traveling professionals. The owner is great to deal with and truly considers every amenity and furnishing when appointing the units she rents. I recommend leasing through them if you’re in need of a short term furnished rental." - Armando R.

ABOUT SWEETEST RETREAT
This property has been featured on the Garden Tour by the Garden Club twice: one year for the lushly planted backyard and outdoor living space and another year for the unique use of hardscape and drought-tolerant plants to create the beautiful front yard landscape. The backyard features a hot tub, built-in fire pit, large waterfall and Koi pond with beautiful professionally done landscaping. The backyard is patio surrounded by landscaping, rather than a grassy lawn. The covered patio area has a functional outdoor kitchen and an outdoor dining table which seats 6. The remainder of the patio is covered with 2 large umbrellas, so that nearly the entire backyard is shaded. The large, hot tub has room for 6 adults. Follow the path through the front yard past the boulders, dry creek bed, and desert-scape landscape design. There is another patio space here as you make your way up to the covered porch, that leads to the front door. Elegant landscape lighting adds ambiance to the front and the back landscaping and living spaces.

The internet booster provides a strong signal throughout the entire property, including outside living spaces. The large driveway accommodates 4-5 vehicles.

The garden apartment on the other side of the garage from this house. The apartment has its own courtyard and shares only the driveway with this house. It has a door which opens onto the backyard of the house.
