Why the Owner Chose Tempe
My units are centrally located in the East Valley. I also live in the area, so I dont say this without experience. Getting to ASU, downtown Tempe, Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Apache Jct, Paradise Valley, all in 10-20 minutes makes this one of the most central Arizona locations.
Owner's Map of Tempe
Born and raised in Tempe. Son of a former travel agent, I see the value in providing the very best experience I can for my guests. It all starts with their accommodations. Location is also extremely important. My listings are within 1 block of each other, making it easy to gather larger groups of people. I do all the bookings, maintenance and care of both of my listings. When you have an issue, you talk to me and I will be the one that makes sure your stay is as trouble-free as possible. Please read my guest comments. My clients put it better than I could.

This is my second time staying here for Ironman Arizona. It is the perfect home away from home and a calm oasis in the chaos of Ironman. Just of the beaten path enough to calm the nerves, yet in a quite neighborhood and plenty of room for extended family. Dan is wonderful and makes things so easy. The beds are comfy and backyard is a perfect oasis. Thank you Dan for taking care of us yet again. Looking forward to the next time.

My wife and I recently visited Tempe to visit our daughter who is a student at ASU. We are from Missouri and also wanted to see the ASU-Missouri game and wow what a game! We stayed in Dan's Lazy River home and have to say that it was wonderful. Dan saw to it that all our needs were met and we were comfortable. We brought a couple of friends with us and they also loved the home. We had our daughter and several of her friends over one day for a barbecue and the back yard and lazy river were both a hit. We are planning another trip to Tempe in the spring and wanted to book this home for then too but it was already spoken for. We were however, able to book another one of Dan's properties for that trip. Thanks for everything, Dan.

MLB All Star weekend

Review Submitted: 07/26/11
We really enjoyed our 5 days at Dan's place. There were four of us that traveled down for the MLB All start weekend festivities and we all enjoyed the time while there. The house was perfect for our group as we each had our own bedroom. We didn't stay at the house very long because of our activities but while there we were very comfortable. The beds were comfortable and everything advertised about the house was accurate and spot on. The location was ideal and very convenient to the highways and commute to downtown. Shopping and restaurants were nearby and the ASU Karsten golf course was only 5 minutes away. I would certainly stay there again and would recommend this house for families or a medium size group.

We had a fantastic experience staying here. We rented two houses from Dan and he was a fantastic help. Before arriving he was very kind answering all my questions about the area. Upon arrival he made sure we had everything we needed. He even brought us extra large serving plates (since we were planning a party) from his own house for us to use and fresh tomatoes from his garden! The house is very well maintained. It is VERY clean. It is well stocked with everything that you could hope for. But it is the little touches that really set Dan's properties apart. For example, every light switch in the house is labeled, no guessing as to what it will turn on or trying every switch. We called this house "river" because of the backyard. It is DELIGHTFUL!!!!! We sat outside every night enjoying the water flowing and beautiful decorative lights. Even though you are close to everything wen you are by the river you feel miles from everything. The location of this house is great. It is in a quiet neighborhood but in a very short drive you can reach the shops, restaurants, highways, and ASU. It is also very helpful to have two beautiful rental properties in an easy short walk apart. Our group went between the two house frequently and were very happy with the arrangement. If I find myself back in Tempe I will definitely rent from Dan again. Really wonderful properties and helpful landlord!!!!

Perfect Spring Break Headquarters

Review Submitted: 05/10/11
My wife, 15 year old daughter and I were delighted with this property on our spring break visit to Tempe. We enjoyed our visit to the nearby Taliesin West location of the Frank Lloyd Wright school of architecture and used this house as a "home" base for an overnight trip to the Grande Canyon. The high walled enclosed garden with its "river" was a perfect oasis retreat from our several serious shopping excursions. The house is well equipped and in excellent condition. Dan was helpful and accommodating and our deposit was returned as promised. Another highly recommendable VRBO gem!

This was the perfect house in the perfect location. There were 5 of us but there are enough sleeping arrangements to fit at least 10 people. We have rented houses and condos before in different parts of the country and this surpasses all of them with all of the amenities included. All in all, this was a great experience.

This house was exactly what we were looking for during our stay in Tempe. It's a great location close to ASU and Tempe Town Lake. The house is very nice with an adorable backyard. It was the perfect size for our group of 8. Dan is very accomodating and helpful. The price was also incredibly reasonable.

Our family came to Phoenix for our son's graduation from ASU and stayed here at Dan's place. It was perfect for us. The 4 bedrooms gave everyone a comfortable place to sleep and we loved having the kitchen to prepare our meals and snacks in. The patio and Lazy River are so lovely and a wonderful place for us to sit and relax with our family and friends. It was a convenient location and great access to Campus, restaurants, grocery store and everything. This house is in a nice quiet neighborhood which was a plus to us. If you come for a visit to ASU, this place is perfect. I have recommended Dan's place to all my friends and family. Dan is great and he exceeded our expecations. !!!! Don't worry if you rent this one...you will love it!!
