Sweet Little Backyard Oasis

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lee and Karen's place. Upon our arrival, we were met with chips and salsa on the counter, which was a very nice gesture for our growling stomachs. It was apparent that they put a lot of work into the backyard, we spent a lot of time out there. The heated pool was perfect for February and we loved the floats. We used the grill a lot, which made cooking easy. Cooking inside was easy too as they have a very well equipped kitchen. The location was right by the local Safeway, making ordering and picking up groceries easy shortly after we arrived. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. We were able to meet Lee and Karen upon our departure and they are very nice people, very responsive. Will stay again when we come back to Phoenix!

South Mountain Retreat

Lee and Karen were both excellent to work with. The home and property were spotless upon arrival. The back yard was perfect for the one night that we had Family over to relax after a very busy few days. We sat outside most of the time enjoying the yard and the sun. We would both highly recommend this property. Everything is within 10-15 minutes that you may need. Very enjoyable time for certain.

Great stay

Loved everything about the property, except for the lack of storage space and the proximity of the property being so close to a very busy intersection. The insulation on the side of the house closest to the intersection was great, so couldn't hear much exterior noise when inside. Property was very clean, decor wasn't our taste but it was cohesive. The hosts were AMAZING and the backyard was a dream! Wish the pool were heated to a bit warmer temperature with the outside temperature cooling down a bit this time of year, but we made it work. If we're in the neighborhood again, would definitely consider booking, as should you!

Great Tempe (Phoenix) Getaway

I have family and friends in the Tempe area and this house was in the perfect location for a 2 week visit. I appreciated that the garage was usable so my car didn't have to bake in the 115* sun. The pool was a must to combat the PHX heat and loved that it was fenced off but there was still a yard area accessible separate from the pool (my dogs are water obsessed). The house is very spacious, more than enough for me working from "home" and my 2 medium-sized dogs. Kitchen had everything you would need and there is a great grill outside. My only "complaint" is all of the beds are very high/tall. I'm 5'4 and I wouldn't say it was a struggle to get in to bed, but it wasn't as easy as most hotel beds and could be an issue for someone with a physical disability or ailment. Lee and Karen were great hosts. They were very communicative ahead of my stay, checked in when I arrived and then reached out to let me know about some fruit growing on the property that I could help myself to (the tomatoes were delicious). Fortunately, there wasn't anything I 'needed' to contact them about during my stay but I don't doubt that if something unexpected happened they would be very engaged to remedy the situation

Amazing Desert Retreat

This house was amazing. It was exactly as listed with all the amenities. The hosts were easy to contact, very accommodating and we thought it was so kind for them to call and check in with us when we arrived to make sure we were all settled and to see if we had any questions. The house itself is well maintained. Everything was clean and spotless upon our arrival. And the chips and Salsa were the perfect snack. It took no time at all to feel like we were at home. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything you would need to make anything between a small snack to a holiday meal. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were so comfortable. The outdoor space is AMAZING! Our family enjoyed the heated pool and the grassy areas to play games or sunbathe. The yard is well maintained and it was so great to hear the birds chirping in the morning while we enjoyed our morning coffee. The beautiful bright flowers attracted hummingbirds and provided beautiful scenery. The house is in a quiet residential neighbourhood that is walking distance to some great hiking. We also loved that the grocery store was very close. All in all this was the perfect getaway for our family. We were able to relax and enjoy the weather and not be stepping on eachother all the time!

Great Stay in Ahwatukee!!

Had a great week in this well appointed home in Ahwatukee. Host communication was awesome and easy. Everything worked great while we were there. The kitchen was fantastic - everything we needed to cook including 2 ovens. Beds were all comfortable and the outdoor area was fantastic with pool and gathering areas. They even had corn-hole. We also appreciated the welcome packet with some snacks and some great chips and salsa as we had not yet made it to the grocery store.

No more snow :)

Very beautiful property and location. The outside patio and pool were lovely and great for relaxing during the day or star gazing at night. It would be very helpful to have some lounge chairs to lay by the pool or by the pergola, there is currently no place to comfortably lay in sun. Also, only one towel per person for a week means doing laundry everyday, so few more towels would be welcome. Loved the location to South Mountain, we hiked everyday! Beautiful park close by we played tennis at. Spacious home and we loved it, hope to be back soon. Thank you for helping us make some wonderful family memories :)
