We enjoyed staying at the house. It was a quite neighbourhood. The house was very clean and equiped with everything we needed. It was a good location as we went to Palm Springs at the beginning of renting the house and then to Yuma at the end. Fry's was easy to get to for groceries. and very good. The airpot is easy to get to. Dale you were very accommodating. We would stay in your home anytime and recommend it. Thanks Dale and Melissa

This home was the best thing we have done in a long time. Well worth the investment. Everyone felt at home. We had rented it for a wedding at the Boojum Tree and most of our immediate family stayed at the house. It was very clean and set up very well for people to use. It's in a great neighborhood and easy access to shopping as well as easy access to major highways in the area. Nascar (PIR) is about 3 miles away, restaurants are close by. If we had stayed in a hotel we would have lost that family feel to our stay. In fact we miss it and would stay there again. Don't loose out rent today, you won't be disappointed with this rental property. Thank you Dale and Mellissa

We enjoyed our stay very much. Having the house made it so much like being home and not in a small hotel room. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to make meals 90% of the time which really saves a lot of money. The ability to do laundry, watch DVDs in a large clean well set up living room with plenty of seating is my idea of what I was looking for. The location of this home is close to shopping, restaurants and the freeway so getting around is easy. Thank you Dale and Mellissa, The Winter family

The owners of this house make every effort to provide lots of "extras" for your comfort. Great house. Great Location. Spotlessly clean. Will absolutely plan to stay again on future trips to Phoenix area. Owners were readily available by telephone to assist with any questions.

From the moment we walked in to the "home", we felt comfortable. Everything was provided that we could possibly expect. The location is great if you're doing anything on the West side of Phoenix. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. We enjoyed the open floor plan of the living room, dining room and kitchen. The owners called us shortly after check in to make sure everything was satisfactory. I would give our experience with this property 5 Stars! We are definitely planning on using this particular rental again and likely expanding our stay. The home is close to grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants. It is also very close to Interstate 10, so getting around the area is very easy.

The photos really don't do this property justice. I was pleasantly surprised as I entered this home, and yes, it was my home away from home. It makes a quiet statement of comfort and peaceful ambiance. Exactly what I needed to escape the rat race of my working life. Spacious enough to allow me to entertain from the premise rather than jaunting from restaurant to restaurant to catch up with friends and to celebrate a 50th birthday. Staying here enabled me to offer Australian cuisine and hospitality to my American cohorts. The nearby supermarket offered everything I could want of excellent quality and the locals... extremely welcoming and accommodating to the difference in our cultures and understanding of language. Funny really considering we speak English..yet it's different. I was very comfortable here and I had transport which could be safely locked away. Everything I wanted was at my fingertips. If you are an avid computer user and speed is your gig... I would suggest that you bring along your laptop which you can wi fi. I wasn't here to work however and the fact that the desk top was slower than what I was used to...tis neither here nor there really in the overall presentation and comfort of my stay. I would stay here again, happily. Cheers from Down Under

Owner response:We are glad that our efforts to make our home comfortable works for people from other countries as well as from the states. We are constantly trying to make our home a better place for our guest by asking them to complete a survey of what they liked and what they would suggest to help make their next stay more enjoyable. We then try and accommodate these suggestions. We do have a computer for our guests to use as a convenience such as printing directions or boarding passes. We are currently looking at improving the computer to a newer model but if you have more to do than just check a few emails we would suggest you bring your laptop. You can connect wirelessly to our network or we have a “hub” you can plug into located on the side of our desk.

Upon entering the property I was floored by how welcoming, clean and comfortable it was. The Blue's have provided everything you could possibly need for your stay including family games, reading material, a computer, extra linens and bedding, and index cards with area high points and restaurants, including directions. My mother had rented the home for us to go down and meet the newest member of our family who was born and lives in the area. The house felt like our own and was so accomodating we were able to host a belated baby shower and a family reunion in the home. The Blue's thought of everything and we couldn't have been happier staying here. We hope to return next year.

The house was a fanastic home base for a spring training tour. The listing description was accurate to a T. The house was very clean and scrupulously maintained. After a long day of watching ballgames and dinner it was nice to lounge around in the comfy living room and watch the big-screen TV. We felt right at home. There are groceries within minutes and a Starbucks just down the road. The owner answered inquiries promptly and courteously, and the transaction was smooth. It was a joy to stay here and we hope to make repeat visits!

We spent February in the Blue's vacation home. It was very comfortable and had absolutely everything you would ever need in your home. The organization of the home was well thought through. It is a neighborhood feeling but very quiet. We loved the "green" backyard! It was located in an area that was easy to access Interstate 10. If there would be another reason for us to visit the Phoenix area, we would definately choose to stay in this home again. Thank you Melissa and Dale!

Owner response:We have tried to set up our house to make it "like home" for all of our guests. We do ask for suggestions from our prevoius renters and try to implement them durring our next visit to Phoenix.

Beyond expectation!! From the first transaction to the quick return of deposit and everything in between renting the Blues house made our trip perfect! Not a single worry. We received an immediate response when we initially asked about reserving the house. Dale and Melissa were easy to contact by email or phone. And, very helpful and accommodating when I erred on the Paypal! Not only was the house immaculate, but the Blues had Phoenix area information available to help become familiar with the area. The location was lovely, quiet and secure with a nice neighborhood park. The beds were very comfy and the patio provided a lovely place to sip morning coffee in the warm Arizona sunshine. Having a computer was also helpful, especially when checking flights and printing boarding passes. Thank you, Dale and Melissa!!

The house was perfect for our needs. It was close to the various ball park venues, close to the grocery store, easy to get to the interstate, and located in a quiet subdivision. We were very comfortable in the master bedroom. The other two bedrooms were small, but the night stands and closet have ample storage space, so they could easily accommodate additional people. The kitchen and living space were nicely arranged and quite suitable to our needs. We made use of the iPod dock, printed our boarding passes at the computer, and used the wifi for access with our own computers. Everything seemed very clean and noise was never an issue, even though the houses are very close to one another. We were very pleased with our decision to rent this home and would definitely consider renting here again.

It is close to shopping and the Fry's preferred customer card saved us $$$ plus a 10cent discount on gasoline at their station. Gas is cheaper in AZ which was a nice surprise. We recommend this comfortable, attractive home.
