It is a lovely house close to Tempe and Phoenix if you are looking for short communication to any events in Downtown Phoenix. Cleanliness: 4/5 since the backyard should be prepared for guests as well.
We were in town for a family member’s wedding! We had a wonderful stay at this pool home! The house was clean, spacious and exactly as described in the listing. The pool was a nice place to hang out with our family. The kitchen was fully stocked with things we needed, and the bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of space for everyone. Check in was easy! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!
This home is perfect if you have a large group. I had a dozen family members come in town to support a sick family member, and this place was absolutely perfect for it. All the guests fit, several had their own private quarters, and a great kitchen for cooking large meals. The home turned into a place of respite and reprieve for my family members while dealing with something emotionally heavy. This home helped us create good memories and find pockets of joy. 10/10 would recommend. The family is already talking about when we can book it in the future.
Six coworkers and I stayed at this home while attending a ministry conference. The house was very clean with beautiful furnishings and wonderful spaces. When we needed to arrive a night earlier due to weather in our area of the country, we were able to stay the extra night since the house was availalbe. The owners got back to us right away which was great as that checked one box off of the list of getting very last minute arrangements made!

Mostly clean but dead bugs were found in the home and bird droppings and feathers were all over the backyard and in the metal shading. Trash was under the bed in the pool house and there is a severe wasp infestation or nest near the pool too dangerous for swimming during the day.

We’re sorry to hear about these concerns, especially as they weren’t brought to our attention during your stay. We would have been happy to send our team immediately to address them. Our homes are professionally cleaned before each guest’s arrival, but we understand that nature can sometimes be unpredictable, especially in outdoor areas like the backyard. We will address the bird droppings and inspect the pool area to ensure it’s safe and enjoyable. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve for future guests.

Great host, poor neighborhood and upkeep
Just got back from a 3 night stay at this cute home. The interior matches pictures/description, however the exterior does not. Most outdoor furniture is worn down or broken. BBQ was filthy, however they did try to remedy but took two attempts to only then find no propane. Trash was overflowing upon our arrival, so we had to stack ours up. Breaker kept tripping to all exterior lights and yard was full of feathers and leaves. Also the neighborhood is extremely sketchy, wouldn't feel safe going on a morning walk. I will say owner was very responsive, up until we asked for some money back.

Thank you for staying with us and sharing your feedback. We appreciate you acknowledging that the interior matched the description and that we responded promptly to your concerns. I’d like to clarify a few points for future guests.
We had guests stay for 11 days just prior to your visit without any issues, but we took your feedback seriously and immediately sent out three people to address your concerns. We did offer a refund, though it may not have been to the extent you expected, and I apologize if that caused any frustration.
Regarding the outdoor space, while the furniture is not broken, we understand wear can happen over time, and we'll ensure everything is checked. Leaves and feathers can accumulate in the yard due to the mature palm trees in the area, but we do our best to keep it maintained. The neighborhood is typically quiet and safe, though we understand that everyone’s comfort levels vary.
Lastly, we were not made aware of any issues with the exterior lights during your stay, but we will investigate further to ensure everything is functioning properly. Trash collection is scheduled weekly, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the previous guests leaving the bin full.
We value your feedback and always aim to provide the best possible experience for our guests. Thank you again for staying with us.
