About this property

Tempe Retreat-4BR-Heated Pool-Games-Grill-ASU

Yes, the pool is heated :)

Welcome to Tempe Palms! This modern four-bedroom home is within walking distance to Selleh Park (note: the park is undergoing renovations until July 2025) and just six minutes from ASU. Located in a quiet neighborhood a stone's throw from all the action, this is the perfect getaway for families, friends, and those visiting ASU.

☆Living Spaces☆

It's easy to relax in the spacious living room, which is clean and bright with fun pops of color. Sink into the comfortable sectional and watch your favorite show on the large flatscreen TV. Then head to the garage for a fun surprise – it's been transformed into a game room! Challenge the crew to a game of foosball or pool. Right off of the garage you'll find a mudroom with everything from bench seating and storage to a sink and washer/dryer, making it easy to enjoy the outdoors without a care.

☆Kitchen & Dining☆

Start your morning with a cup of coffee from the Keurig and use the bar seating to have a casual breakfast right there in the kitchen, where you can admire the beautiful, modern design and stainless steel appliances. The gorgeous kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare something tasty.

Enjoy your meal steps away in the beautiful dining space, adorned with palm fronds. There is plenty of room for everyone at the large dining table with seating for eight.

☆Bedrooms & Baths☆

There's nothing better than a good night of sleep! Clean and modern with fun, colorful feature walls and Zinus Cloud mattresses, all four bedrooms inspire sweet, tropical dreams.

Bedroom 1: Primary bedroom, King bed, ensuite bathroom
Bedroom 2: King bed
Bedroom 3: King bed

Bedroom 4: King bed

Extra: Queen sleeper sofa with memory foam mattress

Bathroom 1: Primary ensuite, walk-in shower, large single vanity
Bathroom 2: Hall bath, tub/shower, large single vanity

☆Outdoor Amenities☆

When in Arizona, you definitely want a little pool time, and this spacious backyard does not disappoint. After a day of floating in the pool, enjoy the luxurious feel of the tiled pool deck and patio under your feet. Relax in the sunshine on a lounge chair, then fire up the grill and have dinner al fresco on one of two dining tables. With a high school located behind the property, you'll have an open view of the sunset (and you can even cheer for the teams on game night). End the night with a friendly game of cornhole or ladder golf while the kids and dogs enjoy the grassy yard.

The pool is heated year-round at no additional charge.

☆Things to Note☆

Dog friendly (dog bowls provided). Up to 2 dogs are allowed ($50 fee per dog). No smoking/vaping. No parties or events. Neighborhood quiet hours outside after 10 pm. There is a camera on the front door and in the backyard for security purposes. The backyard camera has a partial view of the pool area as well as other parts of the yard.

☆Around the Area☆

Tempe Palms is located in a quiet residential area just a few minutes from ASU. Walk to Selleh Park (note: the park is undergoing renovations until July 2025) to enjoy the beautiful walking paths around the duck pond and the fun playground. Then head out to explore the exciting bars, restaurants, shopping, and other attractions in Tempe, Scottsdale, and Phoenix, all within 15 miles from our home. Spend a morning at one of many golf clubs in the area, explore the Desert Botanical Garden, visit the Phoenix Zoo or SeaLife Phoenix Aquarium, or hike in Papago Park. Check out a concert or comedy show at the Tempe Center for the Arts, kayak at Tempe Town Lake, head to an outdoor festival at Tempe Beach Park, or catch a professional sporting event at Wells Fargo Arena. And don't forget to explore the shopping, dining, and nightlife in Tempe and Phoenix. There is something for everyone!

A clean, spacious, and well-located home that was perfect for our multi-generational family trip, with great amenities and a fantastic pool.

We had a fantastic stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family trip. The pool was a highlight for the kids, and the location made it easy to get around the Phoenix area. The kitchen was well-stocked, and there was plenty of space for everyone to relax. Everything was just as described, and communication was smooth throughout. Would absolutely stay here again—highly recommended!

Beautiful Home!

We had a wonderful stay at Tempe Palms. The home is beautifully decorated, very clean, and fully stocked with anything you will need. The highlight of the home is the fabulous backyard, including the heated pool, large patio, plenty of chairs and fun games. Location was perfect for visiting our daughter at ASU. We loved our stay!

Thanksgiving family dinner.

We had two adults and two adult children from out of state and local Chandler family meet for Thanksgiving dinner. Our 25' Airstream fit in the driveway. My wife was able to make the 7 desserts the night before. Minor issue with something prior guests had baked in the oven but we were able to clean that up whatever it was. My wife loves the property everyone enjoyed the pool. And the solid floors made it safe for our dog indoors. We are thinking of booking again next year.

Feels just like home, only better!

Wow. Great place. We’ve rented several vacation rental homes over the years. This one is the best by far. Location was great for our graduation week at ASU. Very comfortable beds pool was really nice. Everything was perfect. Kitchen was well stocked with commercial tinfoil, spices, a lot of things that you would otherwise have to buy. Neighborhood felt very safe too. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfection

Our stay from the moment we entered the front door was nothing but amazing. The home is extremely clean, family oriented layout, and exactly what we needed to accommodate our pre-Thanksgiving dinner! The adult children loved the warm pool, the outdoor games, and we unwinded at the table playing board games. The VRBO team responded quickly with any messages sent. I will definitely be frequenting this VRBO!

Great stay near ASU campus

We enjoyed our stay at Tempe Palms. The house was clean and had everything we needed for the stay. Coffee pods for the Keurig, Pods for the washing machine, and Shampoo/ Body wash in the bathrooms. Appreciated that there was not an extra charge to have the pool heated. Fun games in the backyard and garage. It was about a 10 minute drive to Arizona State University. Would recommend if you're looking for a place in Tempe.

Amazing Stay at an Affordable Price!

Everything was perfect! How perfect? Didn’t have to reach out to the host the entire visit! The house is amazing. The backyard, pool and game room were A++++. The pool looks just like the pictures; by far cleanest pool I’ve ever been in. We had 9 people, including 4 kids. They loved it!! Let me know if you ever decide to sale the place! LOL

Weekend in Tempe

This property is great! The home is immaculate, every room has a king bed and the living area is wide open, the kitchen looks brand new and the converted garage makes a great place for kids with a couple large table games and games for outside. The backyard is the nicest I have seen at a VROB with a heated pool and plenty of tables, chairs and lounge chairs, I wish I could post the sunset pictures we took with the string lights and pool....beautiful! The communication was perfect, Taylor sent everything we needed to get in the home and made the automatic deadbolt a very easy code for us to remember. There is not one negative thing about our stay and the next time that we are in the Phoenix area, we will definitely see if this property is available!

Explore Tempe from this fun, modern getaway near ASU. You may never want to leave this house, with its clean, modern vibe, gorgeous pool, spacious yard, and fun-filled game room. Fire up the grill and lounge by the pool, or walk a few minutes to Selleh Park (note: the park is undergoing renovations until July 2025) to feed the ducks at the pond, shoot some hoops or enjoy the awesome playground. Located in a quiet neighborhood, it’s still close to the action if you want to check out Tempe’s bars, restaurants, and shopping. Plenty to do at Tempe Palms!
