Fantastic host and property

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

House is beautiful and worked great for the team. I took a star off because we didnt know the ice maker on the fridge didnt work until we had already been there for a day. There was a paper with some notes but it was on the side of the fridge and not noticed right away. The note said the pool would be serviced Wednesday or Thursday but the pool guy showed up on Friday. We were using the pool and the maintenance guy told us we had to get out. With the limited down time available it was a little bothersome. Beyond those minor things, our stay was wonderful.

Must stay here

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

We had an amazing time here - pictures of the house are accurate. It’s lovely and airy, and very well equipped. The outdoor space is such an added bonus too. We stayed with a family group that included babies and teens, and between the pool and the baby equipment, everybody was set up to enjoy their time. The location is unbeatable. A park (to play tennis, basketball etc.) is literally across the street and the South Mountain trails are just a few minutes walk away. There are plenty of supermarkets, restaurants, malls and specialty stores within minutes drives. Airport is also super close (but causing very little noise). The host responded super quickly to inquiries, so overall a great experience!

About the host

Hosted by melyssa greene

We are from the Dallas, TX area but AZ has a piece of our hearts. We love the city surrounded by mountain, easy access to hiking and an abundance of nature. We naturally love hosting professionally and personally. We love creating experiences and spaces that make an impression on others and lighten their spirits!

We also love helping other families with little ones travel, lighter and easier. We have 3 toddlers ourselves, that use the house often. Our offerings are perfect for the traveling family.

Why they chose this property

We loved the views on the mountains, how quite/safe the neighborhood is, the park across the road with so many recreational activities and the easy access to hiking, airport, dining and everything anyone could need to vacation or live!

What makes this property unique

Every little detail has been thought through, from the welcoming but stylish decor, to the premium hair products, to the pool towel options, to the abundance of games. We hope you kick back and relax at our oasis, to refresh for all your outdoor adventures.
