Very nice South Mountain house

Clean, nicely furnished, great pool, convenient Ahwatukee location. Friendly, responsive owner/manager. Not the hustle and bustle of Scottsdale, but a close enough drive if that's your thing.

Excellent house and hosts!

Barbara and Marc are incredible hosts that have thought of everything for their guests! The house was clean organized and the pool was a dream setup with a gate for safety. From sunscreen to extra blankets, this house was perfect for our stay and the location was right across from the park. We can't recommend this gem enough!

Always an oasis!

Each time we’ve stayed the house has been exactly what we’ve needed. The pool and patio area are great. The open feel of the home and the consistent cleanliness are perfect. Always our go-to place if it is available when we visit the desert.

Best Property Yet!

We've been renting VRBOs in the Phoenix area for over ten years and I have to say this may be the best rental we have stayed at. Great location, park across the street, shopping nearby, restaurants nearby. Don't miss Rustler's Roost! This property had everything you need to grill, to cook, for the pool and for the kids. I definately recommend it and if it's available we will stay there again.

Second stay just as good as the first

We loved 9 Palms, the whole property is just great and has everything to make your stay a memorable experience. Going to Phoenix in June was a stretch because we knew the weather would be hot, but the air conditioning, the pool out back and the covered sitting made it all so good. This was our second stay at 9 Palms and it was just as good as the first.

Great property!

This is a wonderful house in a great location. Barbara could not have been a nicer host. The house is child friendly - we loved having the pack and play and the high chair there! The pool was clean, warm and protected to keep small ones from tumbling in. While we most likely won't be back in Phoenix any time soon (our goddaughter graduated from ASU) - if we are there we would definitely rent this home again!!!

Perfect!

The listing and the prior reviews held up to their 5-star ratings. There were 4 of us staying at the property. Since it is one level, it was perfect for my 80+ year old parents. The large, well-equipped kitchen and open floor plan made it easy prepare food, serve and visit. We enjoyed our time in the pool and on the patio throughout our stay. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Stay here! Do not hesitate to book!

Excellent home to stay in while in Phoenix. Super clean, beautiful central location. This home has everything you could think to need. We stay in many vrbos & this was top notch. Perfect for children. The pool is gated, there were toys and interesting books. Many kitchen supplies, extra toilet paper. So many little touches made our stay just wonderful. The house was immaculate and in a quiet safe neighborhood. Highly recommend!

Great experience for a large family

I don't normally complete reviews on properties, but this property is one one to which my family is talking about coming back. We would love to come and go to Spring Training again and stay here. Barbara was very accomodating and communicative. The property was everything that our family (my wife and I, as well as our five children) needed. I would highly recommend this property to anyone!!!

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Munder

Host profile image
We live in Chicago and we know bad weather! That may be why we love Phoenix so much. We have three grown children and two grandchildren. One of our sons and his wife live in the area and introduced us to South Mountain and the Ahwatukee neighborhood.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a comfortable vacation home in Arizona our multi-generation family could use. We love the Mountains and the easy accessibility of the Ahwatukee area. We hope you enjoy Nine Palms as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

South Mountain is majestic and having a beautiful green park across the street from our home has a lot of appeal. We love the ease of single-floor living after years of living in 2-story houses. The sparkling pool and the lanai in our backyard sealed the deal.
