About this property

This Custom, Private, Riverfront Home is one of the best available on the river

Hello visitors, THE WATER IS BACK!
Thursday is low water day, other than that we are having the best season in many years. We are pleased to announce that we are accepting reservations for the 2023 spring and summer season. Our posted rates are not always exact, some dates maybe higher or lower depending on your length of stay, holidays, number of guests and other factors. We will try to update our calendar as needed. For your exact quote, availability and to verify we can deliver a very, very clean home, PLEASE send an inquiry with the required information and we will respond within 24 hours.
We return all messages. PLEASE SEND AN INQUIRY FIRST AND DO NOT AUTO BOOK AT THIS TIME, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ACCEPTANCE OR PRICE WITH AUTO BOOKING REQUESTS. UNTIL THE WATER LEVELS AND LABOR SHORTAGE STABALIZE, FOR A SHORT TIME, BOOKING PROBABILITY AND PRICES ARE LIKELY BETTER WITH AN INQUIRY. WEEKLY STAYS DO RECEIVE A DISCOUNT.

This meticulously appointed 3 bed, 3 bath home has a host of private amenities that exceed the standards of almost all of the other homes available for rent on the Colorado River. It is in a class by itself. We receive 5 star reviews, compliments, even family pictures of guests who say our home helped create " their best vacation ever". PLEASE be certain our limited guest and pet policies suit your family. Our guest limit is 6 adults and 4 children 14 years old and under (including your children). We cannot accept any pets and our guest limits apply at all times. Please make sure we are a good fit for you and your family prior to booking, if you are unsure please feel free to submit an inquiry and see our listing for more information.. For FAQs, see the amenities section of our listing We respond to every message. If this is the right property for your group you will experience an oasis nestled on the glistening Colorado River. Please take a few minutes to review our listing, it is a magnificent riverfront home. Our home is rare, perfect for families or smaller groups to create memories that last a lifetime. Sunbathe on the sandy beach or launch your boat/toys directly on site. Since our beach is gently sloped, sandy, free of river rock and it has retaining walls on both sides to slow the current it is superior to play, swim, anchor your boat and enjoy cooling off in the river when it is exceedingly hot.
Guests tend to gather in the water, cool off, swim, play and enjoy children or adult beverages depending on age. Anchor your boat and toys directly in front of the home easily. Our 13 and 16 yr. old girls launch and anchor toys by themselves. Big River borders Parker however we are separated from the strip by a dam, you cannot reach the strip or bluewater by boat. The traffic on our section is about 10% of the Parker Strip, smooth skiing and boarding is almost always available, even on weekend afternoons. We strive to keep this family home immaculate and well maintained unlike so many other river rentals. The home offers way too much to list but some examples are 2 oversized Air conditioners, on the hottest of days, we have cooled the home over 50 degrees. Another example is we installed a custom foot washer so the floors and bedding are not covered in sand.
*** Please note: There are no lifeguards, the safety and well being of your guests and/or children is your responsibility at all times.. Up to 6 adults and 4 children will enjoy panoramic views from inside this luxurious home with a large entertainment area and a gorgeous, well equipped kitchen. The Master King Size Bed with Pillow Topper faces the River, roll up the blinds and enjoy the view of the river flowing by while you enjoy a cup of coffee. Our home is perfect for 3 families, 6 adults and four children (our absolute maximum) offer both a large great room to gather and the good sized bedrooms offer excellent privacy. Each room has a private bathroom, unique walk in showers and a TV. The home has no steps or shower pans so those who need a wheelchair or walker are thankful.. The 1100 sf. great room has a 60 inch HDTV, a DVR and WI FI are included. If, in the unlikely event you do experience a problem, let us know and we do everything possible to help.. A nice BBQ is just outside the door (we even supply the grilling tools). Your Cars, boats, Jet Skis and off road vehicles will be safe and secure in this fenced/gated and lockable property of over 3/4 acres. The property is fully fenced, if you choose to lock the gate, just bring your own padlock. We have plenty of parking, trailers (Absolutely NO RV's), cars, trailers with your toys are no problem. We have a jumbo fire pit, it is great if it is not mid summer. Wood is available in town but feel free to bring your own. As a lifelong River Rats and 35 years experience of custom home building/ remodeling, we used both experiences to build a Super River Home. The home is well known to most in Big River and is referred to as the Wave House.
Our reviews are 100% unsolicited unlike most. In addition, we have dozens of messages and emails complimenting our home. VRBO and other similar sites have programs, automatic pricing, average prices, pinpoints with average costs, etc. Most vacation sites have automated pricing and booking systems. I have seen my home advertised from $89.00 per night to $6,400.00 per night. I strongly recommend getting it directly from us online, vrbo can seem confusing and at times and we are here to help and make the process as easy as possible. We researched almost all listings in the area. To our knowledge there are currently no homes available with amenities comparable to ours at any price. Divided by 3 families, I have seen our home rent for rates comparable to local hotels for the same number of guests.
We understand a vacation can be a substantial investment, our home is not for everyone and we completely understand. Conversely, divided by 6 or 10 people it is a minor difference to stay in style and comfort. Due to allergies we cannot accept pets of any kind, we will not consider more than 6 adults and 4 children. Please, if these two conditions are unacceptable to you, there are properties that will accommodate pets and larger groups.

Great House!!!
Everything about this house was perfect! The location, the beachfront, plenty of parking, the design was fabulous, A/C is very important in Big River and this home did not disappoint! The owners kept in touch, directions were simple. My girlfriends were very impressed. The only downside was regarding the water level. The water level was very low, if you towed a boat all the way out there.... you would not have been able to put it in the water. Thank you to Cameron & Julia!!

Enjoyed the house on the river
This house is perfect for three couples. We each had our own bedroom with a bathroom. Plenty of seating in the large living area and a nice well stocked kitchen. The best was the view of the river.

About the host

Hosted by Julia

Host profile image
We are life long River Rats. We have been coming to the river for 40 years. We first owned a mobile home in Big River in 1994 then in 2000 my wife stated I am sick of hearing that you are going to build a home on the water, do it now or I do not want to hear about it ever again. She did not have to ask twice, off I went. We finished our dream home in 2007 and have enjoyed it year round ever since. Most of our buddies are contractors so we called in all favors. I am a native of Southern California, as a contractor I was able to build this over the period of a couple of years and our home has provided countless memories ever since. We have developed many friendships in the 20 years we have been coming to this part of the river.

Why they chose this property

We had the choice of many properties from Needles to Blythe. Time after time we were drawn back to the Big River Area. My wife found this parcel, it was grown over, the neighbors were not the best but the sandy beach, large property and terms of the deal were irresistible. Luck would have it a new owner next door renovated his property and have been great neighbors ever since.

What makes this property unique

One magnificent sunset standing in the scrub brush watching at 60K tall thunderheads sold me right then and there. The direction the property faces, the sandy beach and the fact that this specific property was about twice the size of any others available. As you can see from the pictures we created the modern, unusual exterior of the home. The homes design features, colors, layout and wonderful beach are well known on this stretch of river, it is often referred to as the "Wave House". The last professional realtor who viewed the property used the word EPIC to describe the entire package.
