Prepare to be charmed by this colorful Tempe getaway. Characterful details abound in this artful space, from the bright Saltillo tiles to the serene Southwestern artwork on the walls, to the arched stone to the arched stone doorway between the two living areas. Start your day with a quiet cup of coffee on the small, secluded patio outside the main bedroom's sliding glass doors. Keep breakfast prep simple in the well-equipped full kitchen, and then enjoy your meal at the dining room table, with a view of your private, interior courtyard. And then head back outside to enjoy your spa-like yard.
Saltillo tiles continue on the covered patio, with plentiful comfortable seating and a nice, shady spot for a cold beverage and a book - there's a wine chiller just waiting for your favorite bottle. Just across from the in-ground pool, there's a gas grill and dining table. A few chaises are available when you want to work on your tan.
When the day is done, settle into either of the comfortable seating areas. If it's chilly outside, stay in and pick out your favorite show to stream. Or, head back to the patio, turn on the fairy lights, and watch the desert sky go dark.
You'll be situated in a lovely location, keeping you on the cusp of adventure. Enjoy scenic walks and sights through several nearby parks, or enjoy a round or two of golf at Dobson Ranch Golf Course. Also within five minutes, you can enjoy contemporary Arizona artwork at the ASU Art Museum. The Desert Botanical Garden is nine miles away where you can roam the calm gardens and survey countless plant species, or, visit The South Mountain Park and Preserve 13 miles away from your home for amazing sights from the vast valley floors and mountain tops.
Additional home conveniences include a washer/dryer, fast WiFi, and central air-conditioning.

Very nice
We enjoyed the stay. It was beautiful, private, and quiet. The check in was a bit confusing because the text message did not mention the gate code (but we finally figured it out). Response time from messaging was not helpful. We would return! It was a lovely property

Stay in Tempe
The house was as advertised and worked out great for our stay. No issues came up during our stay.
Unfortunately the water in the pool was too cold to use but we enjoyed the use of the yard and the grill.
The house is located in a quiet neighborhood and we enjoyed walking around the area.

Convenient location
Older home with character. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking necessities. This was important for us. We enjoyed sitting outside beside the pool in the evenings. We liked having use of the garage.

Perfect stay in Tempe
We had a great 8 day stay in this lovely house in Tempe. We spent a lot of time with our daughter who lives nearby and I cooked just about every day for her. The kitchen had everything I needed and we appreciate all the extras like spices and coffee. We spent a lot of time sitting outside and we loved the privacy of the walled yard. Great stay, great house, nice neighborhood and no complaints at all.

The property manager was also confused on if we where staying at the house. Know you're always being watched ! My daughter in law stopped by on a walk with their dogs to get cooler top and got a phone call asking if we had dogs staying ! They were outside for less than 5 min yard on leashes with her.

Better than expected
Stayed at this house for a family getaway. It had great reviews and a pool which was a must, so we gave it a shot. It exceeded our expectations. It was a perfect size house for our family of four. The location was great and within 10 minutes of a variety of stores and restaurants. The layout was perfect and the den area included a variety of games, including a gaming system hooked up to the TV with old school Nintendo games, which was enjoyed by the entire family. The kitchen included most everything necessary to cook all meals, and the washer and dryer located in the garage was convenient. Being able to park in the garage and have an opener to use during the stay was a bonus. The pool area was private and offered an area to relax in the sun or under cover, as well as a table available to eat outdoor meals. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Minor flaws
This house was every bit as cute as it looks online! The pool is perfect, my friends and I used it like every morning and night during our stay. The house was very clean and tidy.
My only criticisms are the dryer and the A/C. The dryer and washer are in the garage. When we would put clothes in the dryer, they would only get like half way dry, and then if we didn’t take them out, they would start to smell like mildew. The temp in the house was set to like 74 degrees F the whole time, which honestly felt fine in the living room and kitchen area, but the bedrooms were so hot, and we would all wake up sweating in the middle of the night. We figured out that if we left the bedroom doors open over night, it would help a little, but it was still pretty warm. It would have been helpful to at least have a fan we could use for noise and for air circulation, but we couldn’t find one anywhere. Highly recommend bringing a fan if you can. And maybe just hang drying your clothes if you’re going to leave the house after starting the dryer.
Overall it was a really cute and nice house that felt very private due to the concrete wall/fence around the property.

Wonderful get-away
Wonderful place to spend a family vacation!! Perfect home inside and out for family oriented entertainment. We spent many hours outside sitting on the patio and playing in the pool. The kitchen was definitely put to great use for cooking family meals. Game room was utilized to play video games provided, board games etc. In the evening, we spent watching television in the living room. Will definitely be returning in the near future!!

Nice property but needs work
House charming and clean. Very comfortable. Pool is meh. Had to dive in and hook up vacuum when we arrived, no operating light for night swim, and crab grass grown into pool. Appears gardener not there to pick up outdoor areas or mow for weeks. Door with lock box open and pool area unsecured when we arrived. Any kid could have wandered in front gate and drowned. I called to report and email and never got any communication back. So I feel forced to report in review as Vacasa did nothing to make things right.

Perfect Arizona hideaway
This place was perfect for our family of 4! All of the spaces were even better in person than they looked online. The house has such a charm to it and the outdoor space was incredible. It was very private and quiet (besides all of the lovely birds). We truly had the best time!
