Escape to this private, pet-friendly casita in the heart of Phoenix’s vibrant Melrose District! Whether you are here to work, play, or relax, our "Suite at Melrose" offers a unique stay featuring access to an on-site pickleball court. Tucked away behind the main home, you’ll enjoy a fully fenced backyard perfect for pups, a full kitchen, and a central location just steps from the canal path and vintage shops.
The Space:
This standalone guest house (casita) is designed for privacy and fun. It is located in the backyard of a main residence but features its own secure entrance and outdoor space.
✨ Top Amenities:
• Shared Pickleball Court: Access to a pickleball court located on-site (shared with the main house). (Please note: We recommend bringing your own paddles and balls to ensure you have the best game possible).
• Pet-Friendly Oasis: A fully fenced backyard where your dogs can roam safely.
• Prime Location: Walkable to the famous "Melrose Curve" vintage shops, bars, and dining.
🏠 Inside the Casita:

• Bathroom: Clean and modern with a walk-in shower and fresh towels.
Sleeping Arrangements (Max 4 Guests):

⚠️ Honest Expectations (Please Read):
• Multi-Unit Property: A main home shares the lot with this guesthouse. Each has its own dedicated entrance and private indoor space. You will not come into contact with other guests inside your residence; however, you may see them in the driveway or at the shared pickleball court.
• The "Garage": Please note, while some listing sites may categorize this structure as a converted garage, it is a fully finished, standalone guest house.
• Parking: Free parking is available on the street. (Note: There is no covered garage parking for guest vehicles).
• The Yard: We perform regular landscaping, but as this is a desert environment, please watch for "stickers" or burrs in the grass if you have pets.
Guest Access:
Check-in is entirely seamless via a secure keypad. You will receive your unique door code prior to arrival. Dedicated parking is available in the on-premises garage and driveway.
The Neighborhood:
Located in the Melrose District, Phoenix’s premier destination for vintage shopping, trendy cafes, and vibrant culture. You are just minutes away from local favorites like Joe’s Diner and the scenic canal walking trails.
Getting Around:
The home’s central location makes navigating Phoenix easy:
• Downtown Phoenix & Attractions: Just a short drive away.
• Grand Canyon University (GCU): Minutes from campus, making it perfect for visiting families.
• Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport: Conveniently close for travelers in transit.
Other Things to Note:
• Security Deposit: A refundable security deposit is required for all bookings. Please contact the host to confirm the amount; it is fully refundable as long as the property is left in good condition.
• Pet Friendly: We welcome your furry friends! Please let us know if you are traveling with a pet. Pet fee, per stay: $79.
• House Rules: To maintain a great relationship with our neighbors, we observe quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM.
