See my reviews for how happy my visitors have been with our home!

The whole house (all 6 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms) are available to my guests. I frequently chat by text with all my guests and responses come fastest via text message with any questions guests have.

My neighborhood is very quiet and friendly. Many kids on bikes and friendly neighbors can be found right outside the front door. However, please note that my neighborhood is NOT Scottsdale. My neighborhood is diverse and representative of Phoenix. If this is something you are not comfortable with I encourage you to book a home in a suburb where the neighborhood is more homogenous.

There are three beautiful public golf courses near my house with prices as low as $18 per 9 holes. You can book these online in advance using the City of Phoenix website. Also, if you like to bike, I live right on the bike path which connects all of central Phoenix. You can enjoy biking all the way downtown without touching a busy street.

I recommend renting a car in Phoenix as the city is very spread out, and public transportation is not great. Generally, you can get a car for $25 a day if you rent in advance and take the car from the PHX airport.

House Rules
1. No Parties. Please note that my home is for travelers from out of town ONLY and not a place for gatherings of people that live in the Phoenix area. Maximum of 4 cars at the property. I have had to ask guests to leave in the past for violating this policy.
2. Outside noise after 10pm should be kept to a minimum. My neighbor's bedroom window is across the fence from the hot tub and she has been known to complain for excessive noise at night.
3. Pool heating is absolutely FREE as long as you book 7 days or more before the check-in date.
4. There is a security system in the house monitored by Link Interactive that provides guests with security for their possessions when they are away from the home.
5. Please leave the house in as nice a shape as you find it! We are proud of our five stars ratings for cleanliness, charm, and hospitality. I expect I can also rate your group with five stars as a respectful and clean guest.

Excellent!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Host was communicative and kind. Check in/out was easy. The house was adorable and clean, beds were comfy and the pool was warm enough to swim even in the evening and had plenty of toys/activities for the kids, the jacuzzi worked well. Plenty of towels and linens, kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. Highly recommend booking this little oasis!

Family Gathering

It was very nice that we were not charged to heat the pool however it was cold, which was understandable with the weather. Kids loved the hot tub. Lots of bedrooms which was nice. Kitchen was a bit small for all of us but overall a great trip.

Beautiful house

Great experience from the moment we walked in till the moment we walked out. The house was clean and amazing to walk through. The rooms were spacious and kids didn't have to fight sharing space they all had their own rooms. At night the backyard looks amazing and was great to relax and watch the storms roll by. Would definitely stay again

Salt River Trip

Easy to rent this home it was everything we expected. We absolutely loved the pool & jacuzzi. There was enough room for everyone no one was tripping over anyone. Ran out of gas for the grill but other than that it was a great house to rent and in a central location close to everything.

Mixed Feelings

Host was responsive to concerns, but should take some efforts to be proactive. House is simple and basically as described. Amenities are present as listed. It just seems to be a little neglected. Care schedule is off so we arrived to overflowing dumpsters. Towel rack falling off the wall, broken sheetrock where door handle went through it. Drain in the master bath popped up weird. Kitchen supplies are a hodge podge, seems to be leftover stuff and leaves things roughly incomplete. Blender was full of mold- so disgusting. Cabinets seem dirty, no drawer stops so drawers pull all the way out and dump. Retro microwave- perhaps trying to be quirky but was small and hard to use. Freezer did not freeze properly and left us with melted popsicles all week. Biggest concerns were hot tub and pool. Within 48 hours of our arrival the hot tub stunk to high heavens and my son had a rash a nurse practitioner diagnosed as hot tub folliculitis caused by poorly maintained hot tubs. Another child in our group has a rash- not sure if it was the same thing or something from so much chemical in the pool. Host did respond to my concerns and sent someone to address pool and hot tub. Had missing supplies and a new blender delivered via Amazon. He was kind on the phone. It just seems as though this place is an afterthought and no one is really checking to make sure it is a solid place for famiies to stay. For the price of our stay, I most likely would not return to this poperty.

Perfect Family Retreat

Over this last holiday week we decided to build it around something we are calling a Celebration of Life. My 93 year old Mom has Leukemia and a host of other conditions yet she is in very little pain and able to get up dress and feed herself. While she can remember us all we decided to get all of her children some of her grand children and a great grand child together again for what may be her last family holiday. We even captured a lot of this on film. We recorded stories from all of the family members and some close friends that are like family. This home and the warm welcoming environment the host created is the perfect backdrop to the Celebration of my Mothers life and the legacy of what she and my Dad created. We will have these memories forever. VRBO and our outstanding host played a big part in giving us a place perfect for hosting a large family and visitors comfortably. The host thought of everything and even has a ton of everything you need from household products to family game night and everything in between. A clean and quiet neighborhood in close proximity to the airport. This home was also close to shopping, very centrally located. A perfect family retreat.

Great Weekend Getaway!

This was such a great place to stay! Had a group of about 15 stay here while we went up to lake pleasant and it was perfect! Johnny was very accommodating and answered any questions during my stay very quickly! Even though we were a very large group there was enough space for everyone in both the house and backyard. Would definitely recommend!

Awesome place for a group to stay!

Had a great time here with my group. We needed a spot that had several beds and a pool that wouldn’t break the bank and this place delivered. Eric was super easy to contact and was always available when needed. The house and pool were clean and definitely setup for a group. Plenty of beds and even games for outside and indoors provided. We’ll definitely be back! Many thanks!!
