Map & Owner's Profile
Owner's Map of Tempe
This was Shirley's first house, which she bought in 1985. When we got together and Pete's son moved in with us, we moved to a larger home two miles away. But, we love the university area. There is always something to do close by -- a concert, a festival, a sporting event, or just taking a walk. We will probably move back to our ASU house in the next few years so, when we recently remodeled it, we decorated it with care. We hope you enjoy! - Shirley and Pete -

We had a wonderful stay in this very comfortable, dog friendly home and neighborhood! In fact, we have booked it for a month next winter! The dog park is close by and the dog owners were very friendly. We loved being able to walk to restaurants like Casey Moore's Oyster House, Mucho Gusto and Rositas. Starbucks and a French bakery are just over a block away. Fortunately it is easy to walk off the calories since Mill Ave and Tempe Town Lake are about 1 mile away. Freeway access is easy from here, too, for getting to the Superstition Mts or downtown Phoenix. Don't miss the Desert Botanical Garden and the Tempe Center for the Arts.

We were in Tempe for a full week to play in a baseball tournament. We wanted to forgo a hotel so we had our own rooms and just room to stretch out a bit. We came across this house through VRBO and connected with the owners. Immediately a bond was built with Shirley as she was wonderful answering any/all questions that we had regarding the property. Because of the nature of our communication I felt that this was the best place to rent for myself and a few teammates. I am so glad that we decided to reserve this house as it was in a perfect location, clean, with enough room for all of us. We very much enjoyed our stay and utilized much of the house and surrounding area(s). Shirley and Pete are absolutely wonderful people as well as great owners of the property. Pete even took the time to venture out to one of our ballgames at Tempe Diablo Stadium. I would highly recommend this property to any/all that are looking for a decent sized home, in a wonderful area, within an extremely reasonable price range. Thank you again Shirley and Pete for sharing your home with us. ---Mike

I stayed at Pete & Shirley's property for my birthday weekend. The reason I chose this place was because of location, I loved the fact that Mill Ave and Scottsdale were not too far at all. Cab fare was pretty inexpensive. The house itself was amazing, it had everything we could ask for. I realized I forgot my hairdryer and just when I was about to call a friend to bring theirs, I find one in the bathroom! I absolutely loved this house, space was not an issue at all. I would definitely come back next year! :)

Our 2nd stay here

Our second stay here was with my mom and sister for my daughter's ASU graduation. This house is immaculately prepared for each arrival and all the seemingly minor details are seen to. Shirley even left a bottle of wine for us to celebrate the occasion. My mom has a walker and was able to get around the house so easily and the stall shower in the master bedroom was perfect for her. As always, Shirley took such good care of us helping us out with an early arrival and a later departure. Next time I'm back in Tempe, this is where I'll stay.

Best place in Tempe to stay

Our family had a great time in Tempe and the house is WONDERFUL! Shirley and Pete went out of their way and really did take care of us by bringing us over a easy up tent for our son's baseball games. The house is beautiful inside and out and the bikes are an added plus to get around the ASU campus. The backyard was great for the kids and their water balloon fight. And for us, just sitting on the patio and relaxing was the best. The place is a gem!

My wife & I were very pleasntly surprised when we rented this property for a week over the New Year's period. The owners have completely renovated this unit into as perfect a home as possible! Nice, quiet neighborhood, a short bike ride away from Mill Ave where the University is located (there are four bikes included with the property). Plenty of room, amenities galore - kitchen has top-of-the-line cabinets and is well stocked with coffee, tea and condiments. The master bedroom is good-sized and has direct access to a covered patio that has a TV and table/chairs on it. Room for a medium RV to be parked securely inside the backyard as well. One of the best Mexican restaurant's in the Phoenix area is a block away - Rosita's. We can't say enough in our highest recommendation of this property.

Friends and family recently stayed at this location for Ironman Arizona. Shirley and Pete made the entire process easy and enjoyable. Pete met us at the house the day we arrived and gave us a tour of the home. Shirley and Pete have a beautiful home and leave no detail out. The home was cleaned, well maintained and were accurately depicted in the photos. Necessary items are provided in the kitchen and bathrooms and the bikes in the garage are a convenient addition. Shirley and Pete even provide a map of the area along with a list of local favorite restaurants. The location is perfect and was very convenient to shopping, restaurants, and ASU. If we were travelling to the area again, we would definately stay at this location again. The home and owners are absolutely charming.
