Great and convenient for families

Very nice, private, quiet, clean. 10 minutes from the airport and 10-15 minutes to Fashion square mall. Worked out very well for my family. My kids really enjoyed the pool and games. We were able to cook some meals but restaurants were within arms reach. Would definitely book again.

A family hit!

The pool was so refreshing! So many channels to choose from and movies to stream! Tracy was great at communicating and accommodating our unique needs. The couch was a little small for the whole family to sit comfortably to watch movies, but there were chairs. The air conditioning was working and the whole place was very relaxing for our family. .

Great location

Super cute house in great location with plenty of amenities close by. Plenty of room and super nice host. We didn’t pay attention to staying where there was a non heated pool which was way to cold to use but other than that no concerns.

Comfort and convenient

This home was a perfect fit for our family's quick trip to Tempe for a swim meet at ASU. Very convenient to the pool and the house had everything we needed. We loved the game room. The house was comfortable and well laid out for a family. Tracy was super easy to communicate with. Very pleased. We would stay again.

ASU School Tour and Game Weekend

This house is so cute! It’s older but has been updated and has a great use of space. Easy drive to Scottsdale for shopping, Convenient drive or Uber Drive to ASU Campus and the football stadium. Excellent communication with the homeowners. Kitchen was perfectly equipped with dishes, pots/pans and everything we needed. Game room was so cute and there was plenty of seating both inside and out. Backyard lighting was so nice! Only cons: Walls are fairly thin and pipes are noisy when flushing the hall toilet. Couch is a bit small for sleeping (not a pull out bed)..would be nice to have an air mattress to accommodate the teens.in the living room. A few more blankets would be great. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Needs some maintenance but otherwise ok

Lovely house but with some nagging maintenance issues in several areas. The neighborhood was just ok. There were police on the street responding to calls nearly every night we were there. The pool was great, the host was a great communicator. The property should be better maintained and not just when guests complain. The plumbing needed to be unclogged- the sinks and tubs would not drain when we arrived. Although the host sent out a plumber, it would have been better if everything worked the way it was supposed to at the outset. The property just needs a little TLC.
