Great location & value! Large, beautiful home, private pool, tub

We think you'll love our townehome. It is a private home with lots of character located on the end of a quiet residential street in central Tempe. The property is managed by the owner. Please feel free to inquire if you have any questions or need any further information.

The house has over 1800 square feet with a large garage and wide driveway with room for 2 cars. It features your own private fenced in pool (it is not heated) and beautifully landscaped yard that is on the northern border of the former Shalimar 9 hole golf course. Sadly, the course closed in April, 2025 and the future plans for this property are undetermined at this time. The backyard has views of a natural area with green space and large trees.

The house is uniquely decorated in southwest decor. You won't find a similar house available for rent. Most of our guests have been returning and reserve their stays well in advance. We look forward to our returning friends and to sharing our home with new guests.

In years past we have had wonderful returning guests who have stayed throughout January and February. Unfortunately due to health reasons they will be unable to return. We would like to find a retired couple who wants to stay for 2 or more months some time during the period between the first of December and early March. We offer a 10% discount for monthy rentals, but are offering a 20% discount for rentals of at least 2 consecutive months between December 1, 2026 and March 6, 2027. We are hopeful to have a nice couple to take advantage of the discount to reduce the turnover during the busy tourist season. This offer will be available as long as the house is available for reservation during the winter season.

The backyard is enclosed for privacy and is landscaped with separate lawns, citrus trees, rose and flowering bushes. It attracts a variety of birds and hummingbirds.

Sit out on the furnished patio and enjoy coffee and listen to the birds in the morning, or grill steaks and sip drinks in the evening while watching the sunset and enjoying the golf course views. Enjoy relaxing in the Dimensions I hot tub that is located on the patio outside the master bedroom.

The house features two unique large living rooms that are separated with stone pillars, and is well furnished with rich leather furniture, a down chaise and a 60' Sony smart tv, and blue ray with the Direct TV extra package for watching your favorite game or movie, and also a subscription to Amazon Prime video. The kitchen is well stocked and equipped and the house has high speed internet and panoramic wi-fi.

The master bedroom opens out to the backyard and to the hot tub next to the rose and flower garden. It features a king-size Brooklyn Hybrid Bloom bed and a 40' tv.

The second bedroom features knotty pine built in woodwork with southwest decor, and a queen size murphy bed and large attached bathroom with combination shower and tub, and twin sinks. Both bathrooms feature multiple grab bars in the showers and tubs. The bedrooms are separated by a long hallway which provides privacy from each other. Great for separate couples, a group of guys or gals, or a family.

There is a large patio in the back that has access through the kitchen sliding glass door. We have a private, enclosed (fenced in) pool that is not shared with any other properties, unlike many vacation properties. The pool is not heated and it is typically warm enough to swim between mid April through mid October). The patio and pool deck have lots of chairs and benches, and there is a grill for outdoor cooking.

There is also a washer and dryer and we also have 4 bicycles for your use to enjoy the neighborhood.

The house is a wonderful retreat for enjoying the sunshine and taking it easy, reading a good book, watching tv, or just relaxing on the patio or going for a swim. It is great for entertaining family and friends with the large dining room and patio area and backyard (but no parties or large gatherings permitted).

There are sleeping accomodations for 3-4 with an additional fold away single bed and a self inflated quality queen size mattress that can be put down in one of the large rooms, that are stored in the large main closet. There is also a twin bed box spring, mattress and frame stored in the garage that can be placed in either the rear living room or next to the king bed in the master bedroom. The fold away single bed is best used for children.

There is a table in the kitchen that seats 4 and a separate dining room and table that seats 8, and expands for additional seating, plus a cocktail table and chairs in the second living room. There is table service for 12 with additional silverware and wine glasses, coffee maker, blender, mixer, juicer, crock pot, all kitchen utensils, etc. There are plenty of towels and extra sheets.


Numerous grocery stores, restaurants, banks and churches within 3 miles, and it is within 10 mins. to golf courses, the Talking Stick casino and resort, Papago Park, Phoenix Zoo, Botanical gardens, spring training fields, and is also very close to the Tempe Marketplace, Mill Avenue and ASU, and the Tempe town lake. Its close access to H-101, H-202 and H-60 makes it easy to get to anywhere in the valley without having to deal with stop and go traffic. The airport is less than 15 minutes from the house.

It is located in an attractive quiet neighborhood that is great for taking walks and bike rides with little traffic. We enjoy its central location which allows you to get around without spending the day driving, unless you want to.


We have worked hard to make our home a wonderful place for our guests to enjoy. Please understand that it is our home and it is very important to us that you agree to take good care of it and keep it clean. If you are not comfortable or willing to do this, we would ask that you not request to stay here.
We also request that the primary guest/renter be at least 35 years old.
The house is best suited for adults. The pool poses a risk to children, and there are numerous furnishings that can be easily broken such as decorative vases, plates, and other items. Thank you very much for your consideration. We understand that the house is not for everyone and we appreciate your understanding. Please do not hesitate to ask questions if you have any concerns.

Tempe recently adopted an ordinance to regulate short term property rentals. The Tempe ordinance requires that the property owner obtain the name and date of birth of each registered guest. We are required to run background checks from a federal database for each guest rental. I apologize for this inconvenience. Most cities in Arizona have adopted similar requirements.
Please provide the names and dates of birth for the adult guests as part of your reservation request.
I would also request that you provide a brief explanation of the purpose for your visit to our house and description of the persons who will be staying.
Thank you very much in advance for your cooperation.
