This was a charming bungalow. Obviously lovingly restored to retain the mid century vibe. The backyard is fantastic, with patios, fire pits and a wall to keep it all private. Great for dogs. The Lemon and Orange trees in the backyard, and Pomegranate in the front are a nice touch. Nice quiet neighborhood, yet a great city location.

This is a sweet house in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Everything you will need for a short or long stay is in the home. Lots of cooking supplies including a crockpot and airfryer. The bed was very comfy and linens were soft. The white towles in the art deco bathroom are soft, absorbent, and smell nice. Good quality bathroom amenities included as well. Grocery shopping is near by as are a couple of good restaurants. We will definitely tey to book Stephanie's home again next time we are in Phoenix.

Wonderful stay!!

We had a wonderful stay at this rental! The home was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and incredibly welcoming. The backyard was a true highlight—spacious, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. Everything was spotless, and the space felt very homey and comfortable. Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful Bungalow

The home is just as shown in the photos. It is beautifully decorated and had all of the amenities that we needed. We loved the back yard - it is a little oasis in the city. The neighborhood is upscale and nice for a walk or jog. It is conveniently located to stores, restaurants, coffee shops. The neighborhood is very quiet.

The weather didn't cooperate but the house was comfy and cozy!

It doesn't happen often but when it does you want to be staying in a place that you can enjoy even when your outside plans are scuttled due to weather. We enjoyed the home and the area very much. It was perfect for the 2 of us and our family could come over and enjoy it as well.

Cute Encanto property

We enjoyed two weeks in this home while visiting Phoenix. The house is cute and clean in a quiet neighborhood, and Stephanie was very easy to communicate with. The house is centrally located and furnished with everything we needed. Our dog especially loved chasing balls in the fenced back yard. Had a great vacation and will look forward to doing it again.

A sweet little gem in a lovely historic neighborhood

Spotless, charming, comfortable space for two: well equipped kitchen; comfy bed; nice bathroom; TV, internet. Bonus great backyard with shaded porch, lovely landscaping with various seating areas. We had relatives at nearby St. Joseph hospital - a 5 minute walk, which was so convenient. We really hope to stay here again - our host was quick to answer any questions we had. Thank you Stephanie!

Comfortable, convenient location with backyard oasis

This was our best vrbo experience yet. Perfect for a couple. Office space with good internet. Interesting decor with comfortable furniture, big TV with streaming services. Location was close to everything, just minutes from downtown, basketball arena, museums, restaurants with casinos closeby. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the various seating areas in the beautiful backyard oasis with patio, firepits, cozy chairs, orange and lemon trees - and plushy green grass! Highly recommend, especially for a winter retreat.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Martin

Host profile image
I purchased my historic home in 2013 and love the property and my neighborhood. I travel frequently for work, and love the opportunity to share my space with other travelers when I am away. I enjoy skiing, checking out the Phoenix food scene, and hiking with my Boston Terrier mix Bowie.

Why they chose this property

My historic Phoenix home was my daily residence until recently. My husband and I now live in Flagstaff but we like to come down and use the home whenever possible! I love to offer my home up to travelers looking for a comfortable and stylish place to stay. All I ask is that you treat my home as you would your own. It is a very special place to me.
