Gated 3BR w/Pool, Hot Tub, Gym & Private Terrace - Near Light Rail

Situated in an exclusive gated enclave, just a 5-minute walk to the light rail station, this updated 3 BR/2BA Central Phoenix condo offers a prime location to shop, dine, and explore.

After a day on the town, enjoy access to the shared pool), hot tub, and fitness center within 1 minute of the front door. Or grill dinner on your private covered patio with plush seating for four.

LIVING AREAS

Dine al fresco then gather in the comfy living room for a movie night on the 65” flat screen TV. Or simply relax and plan the next day’s excursions with ample seating for eight on the stylish leather furniture.

KITCHEN & DINING

Sharpen your culinary skills in the open concept kitchen where helpful amenities include a stainless steel French door refrigerator, double sink, and all the gadgets you’ll need to prepare delicious meals.

When it’s time to eat, convene at the four person hightop table for a family-style feast.

BEDROOMS & BATHS

This single level, 3rd-floor condo sleeps six guests total in three bedrooms.

Unwind in the master bedroom’s California King Bed and watch your favorite shows on the 47” flat screen TV. A walk-in closet provides ample storage space, and the en-suite master bath offers a shower/tub combination.

The second and third bedroom are each furnished with a queen bed, 24”&27” LED flat screen TV respectively, and local art. Freshen up in the second bath with a shower/tub combination.

OUTDOOR AREAS

Other perks include complimentary WiFi, a washer/dryer, and reserved covered parking for one vehicle. The primary vehicle gate can be opened with a remote once you check in and access the remote in the key box on the master bedroom wall.

THE LOCATION

Immediate vicinity of the Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center, this condo is perfectly situated for doctors, nurses, patients, and families who require easy access to the hospital.

Be sure to visit local favorite St. Francis, a beautiful restaurant featuring seasonal New American fare and an open-air bar with incentive cocktails. For something a little more laid back, try Hula’s Modern Tiki, an eatery and bar with old-school tiki flair and Polynesian-inspired entrees and drinks.

HERE IS HOW RENTAL WORKS

I rent out 30 day blocks or longer. Property is located near the VA hospital. This condo has wall mounted TV's in every major room with easy to operate remotes. Every room is oriented towards providing an excellent sleeping room to get away and relax.

Please note that in some cases you may need to check in on the last day of preceding month you are renting to keep things on track. The exact stay dates may not be able to coincide with the month exactly but it will be very close. 31 night stays are not allowed unless you want to book more than one month. Your first day should be on the same day the previous renter departed. You can always communicate with me first and we can iron out the exact arrival and departure date. If you choose to arrive on the first day of a 31 day month I think you will be fine. In that event no need to communicate before hand.

Upon arrival, easily access your vacation home with a keyless secure door; no need for an in-person key exchange. Your rental will be professionally cleaned and ready for you to enjoy. You can expect all the comforts of a fine hotel, including shampoo, soaps, paper products, towels, and linens.

If you need anything at all before or during, your stay, please do not hesitate to ask and I will direct my full resources to help.

Love the Devonshire Canto

This was our third winter at Chance’s condo. It’s nice and roomy and has everything that you need. In addition, it is pet friendly, which is such a bonus.

Very comfortable condo

Chances’s condo is very nicely furnished. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen contains all the needed apparatus. Everything was quite clean. We enjoyed sitting on the comfortable furniture on the balcony. We used the well stocked gym often. The condo is near downtown Phoenix and there are many good restaurants within a short drive. Also an excellent park is nearby. We have already rebooked.

Very nice property. Very clean. Chase is excellent at communication anytime I had a question.

We needed a rental with a time frame we were unsure of. Chase was very helpful and accommodating. His condo was great and I would highly recommend this rental.

About the host

Hosted by Julia Petersen

Host profile image
My name is Chance, I am officially in the VR business full time. I travel light and happily stay in my properties that remain unrented. It provides for a great change of scenery and whenever I check in I know it will be wonderful experience. I take pride and satisfaction in maintaining my properties for my guests in so to provide to them a hassle free and safe stay.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property while working at the Phoenix VA when my livelihood lied in a different profession. The condominium complex is relatively innocuous and low key. The condo itself is the best part of this package deal. The place has been given a thoughtful transformation that makes it feel homey, warm, and functional. Each room is oriented to be a sleeping room and each room has a well functioning TV mounted on the wall with an easy to operate remote. I provide basic cable TV service with all the major news channels. On demand is not available. The Living Room TV is supplied with a DVD player.

What makes this property unique

I picked this property for its unique price point and the excellent functionality it provides for a home. I bought it for what it could be and not for what it was. The transformation is almost complete. For now my only wish would be granite countertops. The home is provided with a security door and you can keep it locked while you are inside. This provided for excellent security and provides excellent peace of mind while you just want to be locked up safe inside. I do not provide this key. You still have the main door for the security of your personal items when you leave the property.
