About this property
Midtown Detached Studio Cottage-Heated Pool & Hot Tub-Covered-Gated Parking
Renovated guest cottage. Pool built April 2022. Hot tub heating included. See below for information on pool heating prices. The Cottage is a separate building over 100 feet from our main house. King Bed. Full Kitchen. Exquisite resort-style bathroom. Private and separate entrance from the alley with a gated and covered parking spot.
Woodlea Historic Neighborhood is lush and green. Our home is on a large lot in this welcoming and diverse neighborhood. We have this detached building in the back that we renovated in 2016. This studio suite style cottage has a kitchen with refrigerator, freezer, large sink, 2 burner cooktop, and microwave/convection oven combo unit. An exquisite modern, resort-style bathroom. Walk in closet. Washer/Dryer. 50 inch Roku Smart TV. DVD player (with many DVD movies available in the cottage). Reading library too!
*Heated Pool & Hot tub - Completed in April 2022. This luxurious resort style pool came out of our dreams. Hot tub heating is included. Pool heating is optional and available with a surcharge since not all guests want the pool heated and cover the cost of gas. If you want the pool to be comfortable for swimming during your stay we recommend pool heating at these times and the rate we charge will be the following prices multiplied by the number of nights of your reservation (we discount for stays of a week or longer):
January and February $60
March $50
April $40
May 1 - 15 $30
May 15 - September 30 No heating needed
October $30
November $40
December $50
For example, a 5 night stay in March would be $250 for pool heating.
A solar cover is used to help heat and retain heat in the pool. During your stay we ask guests to return the cover into place when not using the pool and particularly overnight. This allows us to charge reasonable heating prices and keep down our gas usage. Also the heater will not be able to maintain a comfortable swimming temperature if the cover is not used in this manner.
The backyard, including pool is shared with us (the homeowners). We are quiet and will only occasionally have guests over. If we do we will let you know. We do not allow our guests to have other guests visit during your stay. No parties. Quiet hours (no audible noise outside) are 8 PM - 8 AM. Pool & Hot Tub hours are 8 AM - 10 PM. Strictly enforced.
The lot backs to a vehicle accessible alley. You will have your own private back entrance through an electronic gate giving your own private, covered, and secured parking spot.
Midtown is a great place to stay to get around and explore all that Phoenix has to offer. We are close to downtown entertainment and sporting venues. Many great restaurants with diverse culinary choices. Are you a road warrior and want an alternative to a hotel? The secret about Midtown is that the daily commute is a reverse commute in pretty much every direction.

About the host
Hosted by Noel and Sarah Salt
Noel and Sarah raised a family in historic Midtown. Sarah is an Artist and Real Estate agent. Noel does information technology. Together they meet where form meets function to provide an exceptional home-away-from-home experience for you.
Sarah and Noel are experienced Premier Partner VRBO hosts and we do everything we can to create an experience that provides a home away from home with a touch of luxury and style. We take feedback from our guests to continuously improve what we can. We want you to be comfortable during your stay. We have been hosting guests since 2016 and have been using vacation rentals for our own family vacations for over a decade. We leverage all that experience to create an exceptional stay for you.
We go out of our way to create comfortable luxury. Almost every guest is fully delighted to stay at The Woodlea Cottage. It is important to note that this is not a hotel and we do not have another house to move you to should something go wrong during your stay. We will, however, do everything in our power to fix the situation and if that is not possible will work with VRBO to help you find alternative arrangements. Also, as a personal home we expect our guests to treat the house as they would their personal home.

Why they chose this property
The pool is exquisite. Our home and the neighborhood, Woodlea, is beautiful, green, with large mature trees. A wonderfully walkable neighborhood central to Phoenix. The area is quiet and accommodating to get you anywhere around town you need to go. Whether you are heading downtown to cultural venues or sporting events or coming into town for the best Spring Training baseball on the planet, this is the place to be for your Phoenix vacation plans. The cottage was initially built out in 2016 and we periodically update and upgrade the furnishings, fixtures, and amenities. The pool was completed in 2022. We put attention to detail to ensure you have a delightful stay. Guests often say it is nicer and more spacious than they thought it would be.
What makes this property unique
You will have covered and secure parking with your own private gated entrance from the rear of the property. Brick patio with outdoor seating. Spectacular pool shared only with your hosts (Noel and Sarah). For inside accommodations we've tried to think of everything we and our guests would want to have for a stand-out vacation experience. We have booked many VRBO properties for our vacation stays. So, we appreciate the value and benefits that can come from being hosted by a family that cares and puts attention to detail. We look forward to hosting you.
