Great Tempe Casita!
We loved our stay. The casita is definitely a 5 star VRBO! The owners reached out to us upon our arrival to the rental and recommended a fabulous Mexican restaurant not far from the property. Delicious food! The rental was clean, comfortable and accommodating.

Private Casita
The private, covered, gated entrance was wonderful for my dog and car and the Casita itself had everything we needed to cook, do laundry, etc. including a comfortable bed. The street was quiet for the area and we enjoyed the peaceful beautiful space. Many thanks to Chris and Christina :)
