The townome sits in the Encanto village neighborhood of Phoenix. Diagonally from the historic Phoenix Country Club. The fact that you can be so close to so much and be at home in a warm and serene Oasis within the city is why I named the property 'Encanto Oasis'.

In town for spring training

The host was very accommodating and took care of the concerns we had. Proximity to the airport and Spring Training Fields was exellent. Amenities were exceptional, i.e. water bottles in the refrigerator. Would recommend this place if you are going to spring training games.

Comfortable home

Raymond was very responsive and easy to work with. The home is comfortable and well equipped. He just finished installing new flooring and painting. Was nice to be able to have our dogs with us. The 4 stars for cleanliness is only because there was excessive dust from the remodeling, I expect this is a one time occurrence.

Wonderful experience

We had a delay on our flight so we came in after sunset so we had a little difficulty finding the place. Once we got there it was all we anticipated and more. Clean and centrally located. We got around quite easily. Would recommend this place!

spring training landing pad

We recently stayed for spring training and had a nice time. It sure beats a hotel room for families with kids. The location was good for travel and the town house was nice. The kitchen was stocked with plates and most of the little things you need. Unfortunate that the BBQ was broken and we had already shopped depending on it.

I would recommend this unit.

Raymond met us upon our arrival and went over many details about the unit, which we appreciated. The development is quite dated, but the unit itself was nicely furnished and had all the comforts of home. The front and back courtyards were great places to sit and read and enjoy a glass of wine. All things considered, I would recommend this unit.

Great summer stay

Albeit Phoenix is hot in the summer, the property kept a cool temperature and the pool although small was almost never occupied by the other tenants. The 4 kids and I were able to swim at dusk every night as though it was a private pool.

Comfortable unit in a great location

We did some research about the attractions we wanted to visit in the valley and this location put us within minutes of most all of them. If you have no particular plans, you will be close to lots of shopping, dining and activities that will save you hours of driving in this huge metro area. Raymond takes pride in this comfortable condo unit. The beds were good and we didn't want for anything. A double garage is a plus.

Excellent first experience

This was the first time I stayed at a vacation house with my family instead of a hotel. It was a really wonderful experience. Raymond met us on our first day to personally check us in and shows us all the things we needed to know about the house and the area. The house was just the right size for our family of five. The location is perfect, less than 15 minutes drive to downtown, shops and restaurants, and close to major highways leading to all directions out of Phoenix area. We will book this house again on our next visit.

Relocation stay

Property was as described. Well appointed , albeit small, kitchen was suitable for short term needs. Plenty of linens and towels to suit a family. Outdoor facilities were not enjoyable due to construction noise and dust. Due to a personal situation we had to cut our visit short by almost 3 months. We were very disappointed not to have been given any financial consideration given that we used no electricity or water over the hot summer months. We understood the place may not have been re-rentable, but surely there was some savings when you compare an occupied and unoccupied property over June, July, and August.

The only thing that got use was the smell as you entered the apartment. We went out and bought air fresheners by the second day it wasn't to bad. The carpets need to be cleaned we think just a suggestion.

Very clean, nice place inside the townhouse. Raymond had stocked it with everything we could have needed. Front and back enclosed areas were great for our little dog. Location and neighborhood only got 4 stars because of the trash littering the street and lots of cars parked along the street. Being able to park in the garage was wonderful. Thanks for the stay.

Great short stay

I had to stay at this place because it’s all I could afford at the time, and I was skeptical going into it, but all in all, I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed my stay there much more than I expected to. I have no complaints about the house. The neighbors are also very friendly and helpful. Wasn’t too thrilled about the location at first, but as it turns out, I was also wrong about that. The Steele Indian park right up the road was a fantastic place to take our dog, plus they have trout fishing there in the pond! I would highly recommend someone to stay there, especially if they are looking for someplace nice that fits into a budget. Fantastic month long stay. Thank you!

Perfect location. Comfortable and homey.

Raymond is a thoughtful host who provides a quality place to stay. From the welcome basket to the personal checkin we felt at home. The BBQ is great for a home cooked meal but there are plenty of great eating spots close by. The area is safe and quiet. The beds are comfy. We had no problems but felt that if we had Raymond would have fixed the problem quickly.

About the host

Hosted by Raymond

Host profile image
My family ancestry is French Canadian. I am first generation American. I grew up in Orange County California and moved to Arizona in 2003 and love it! Professionally I own a General Insurance Agency.

Why they chose this property

I worked for 7 years close to this property and often drove past it. Everyone that I know that lives in the Central Phoenix midtown area loves it. You have the best of everything at your finger tips. I enjoy traveling and plan on doing more once I retire. I figured that should I ever want to downsize that this would make a great lock and leave place to call home. I know many Canadian snowbirds and they encouraged me to turn my townhome into a vacation rental.

What makes this property unique

I bought this home in 2012. Thinking that someday I might live there, I renovated and updated it as if I would. Virtually everything is new. I have stayed at many vacation rentals in my travels and decorated this home to feel warm and inviting yet elegant and comfortable. From furnishing to the artwork and accessories I want you to feel at elegantly at home. I am now living in this property as my secound home.
