Thanks for your interest in our property - a labor of love where we keep our roots in Arizona! We are an entrepreneurial couple who loves real estate and adventure, and we move frequently to follow our software consulting jobs, and love that we have a place to call home when we visit our families in the Phoenix area. This home is one we purchased after the boom and completely remodeled inside and out (including new roof, HVAC, exterior stucco, fence, yard & pool). We spent over a year on the renovations and knew early on we would use it as a vacation rental because of an impending move out-of state, therefore made certain improvements with our future guests in mind (such as a heater for the beautiful new pool :)

We have 3 other rental properties (and counting), but this is our only vacation rental. I, (Noelle) worked in hospitality throughout college and this kind of business is my passion! Helping travelers feel at home and taken care of during their vacations is easy with attention to a few details. I love dealing with our guests and exceeding expectations with a level of service and communication that is often too rare this day in age. I like to think that technology should only improve our experience, and not be a tool for people to hide behind when dealing with customers.

We are always accessible by phone, email and text and love any opportunity we get to talk to our guests! We hope you enjoy previewing our listing and hopefully getting a chance to stay there during your trip to the Tempe/Mesa area!

Noelle purchased this house in 2011

We purchased this home initially to be closer to the buzz of downtown Tempe and Scottsdale where we recreated. Living in the suburbs no longer made sense for our commutes and lifestyle. We found this incredible opportunity for a great skeleton of a home that had been loved and lived in over the years, but needed new life breathed into it. After a year+ of renovations, we were getting compliments from all the neighbors and the mail carrier! It is now more reminiscent of a luxury home you would expect to find further outside of an established area. Admittedly, we knocked down a few walls to accomplish the end result, and it was worth it!

This is an established area of Mesa (1 mile from the Tempe border), and is sure to experience a new wave of improvements due to the recent infrastructure with Mesa Riverview, Tempe Marketplace, and the Cubs new spring training facility around the corner. We were fortunate enough to get in on the ground floor 1 year before the Cubs field opened, and saw a vision of a vacation home for us and travelers alike, due to an impending move out-of-state for work. We completed the improvements with this end-goal in mind.

One of my favorite aspects of the neighborhood from our time living there to complete renovations was the quiet, wide streets. I ran a lot and it was a great place for that, as well as running along the canal that intersects Rio Salado Parkway around the corner. Jumping in the pool after a serene run was heavenly for me. Another favorite moment was having morning coffee in the cooler months on the back patio, just soaking in the quiet and staring at the pool.

It turned out to be quite the haven only minutes from all the recreation we love, and only 10 minutes to the airport. We absolutely love this house and it's one of my favorite things that keeps us busy, from reservations, to monthly accounting, to our visits on-site catching up with family and making sure things stay top-notch for our lovely visitors!
