Serene Avondale Oasis: Pool, Hot Tub and Sunset Views Near Phoenix

Hi, I’m Elizabeth!

My husband, Michael, and I are lifelong Washingtonians who love welcoming guests. We met at UW, married in 1995, and raised our three sons in the Lynnwood area. Though they’re grown, they’re still our best friends—we cherish family time with deep talks, karaoke nights, and travel.

Michael, a Finance Director, keeps the business running smoothly, while I focus on creating a cozy, inviting stay for guests. Most of the year, we’re in Washington, but we escape to our Arizona home in winter.

We share our days with two small dogs, Max and Maizy, who bring endless joy! I also find peace being by water—whether it’s a lake, river, or ocean, that’s where I feel most at home. I’m active in our community, working on committees to improve safety and resources.

In our “pre-retirement” years, we’re all about life’s simple pleasures and meeting wonderful people like you. If you’re looking for a homey, relaxing place to stay, we’d love to host you!

Nestled just west of Phoenix, the Avondale and Tolleson neighborhoods offer a unique blend of suburban charm and urban convenience that we absolutely love. The area's prime location provides easy access to major highways like I-10 and I-17, making it simple to explore all that the Phoenix metropolitan area has to offer while returning to a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. We appreciate the beautiful parks, such as Friendship Park and Estrella Mountain Regional Park, which invite us to enjoy outdoor activities, from hiking to picnicking under the warm Arizona sun.

Both neighborhoods are family-friendly, boasting top-rated schools and a welcoming community spirit that makes it easy to connect with neighbors and participate in local events. The rich cultural landscape, filled with festivals and unique dining options, ensures there’s always something exciting to experience. The variety of local restaurants offers delicious cuisine that caters to every taste, while shopping centers and boutique stores provide plenty of opportunities for unique finds.

Affordability is another reason we love Avondale and Tolleson; the cost of living is reasonable compared to neighboring cities, making it an ideal spot for families and professionals alike. The year-round sunshine creates a pleasant environment for outdoor activities and gatherings, while the proximity to major sports venues like State Farm Stadium and Phoenix Raceway adds an extra layer of excitement for sports fans.

Overall, the Avondale and Tolleson neighborhoods perfectly encapsulate the essence of Arizona living, combining community, convenience, and natural beauty into one inviting package. Whether you’re visiting for a short time or looking for a more extended stay, we believe you’ll come to appreciate this wonderful area as much as we do!
