So glad our home worked out for your grad celebration! You are welcome back any time!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful home! From the moment we walked through the door, we were blown away by how clean, and spacious this place was. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook family meals. Shelley, the host, was very quick to respond to any questions that we had. The pool was absolutely gorgeous and very much enjoyed by my family. We can't wait until our next stay!
Host was awesome. Called before our trip to confirm booking and answer any questions, and was always available throughout our stay.

Wendy, thank you so much for the 10-star review! 🌟 We truly appreciate you choosing our property. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Shelley V, Owner
We stayed 4 nights in April 2026 and had the best experience working with Shelley. The house was absolutely stunning and was beautifully decorated. Very well kept and peaceful neighborhood. Shelley provided everything we needed to feel like we were at home, and she checked in with us during our stay to make sure things were going well. Communication with her was top notch! We will definitely stay here again when we return to AZ!!

We loved our stay. Everything was super clean. Great communication. Pool area was perfect with options to sit in the shade or lay out. Good location close to what you need. We recommend San Tan Flats up the road for a fun night out.

About the host
Hosted by Shelley V
Patrick is a retired criminal defense attorney and Shelley is the retired Executive Director of a nonprofit organization (United Way) from northern Minnesota. They are very active and love to golf, bike, work out at the gym, Shelley additionally loves to play pickleball, hike, run and swim, Patrick loves to play ball and watch spring training.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this property as our "cabin" to get away from the Northern Minnesota winters and chose this particular property because it is in a quiet neighborhood, close to a gym, church, gas station and small mini mall with a few restaurant/bar options and golf courses close by. (all walking distance) There are also no neighbors on the backyard side of the house. We also loved the close proximity to San Tan Regional Park and the Mesa Gateway Airport.
What makes this property unique
We love the private backyard with no neighbors behind us, the deep pool, the two citrus trees and size of the house which is big enough to have guests but not so big that it is a chore to clean. We put in the pool heat because Shelley loves to swim.
