Great house with beautiful design. The pool was too cold to swim in due to the colder weather conditions. The coffee pot is too small needs a full sized coffee maker. But overall a great place.

Spring Training Month

The house overall was clean, nice pool in the backyard. The owner was super cool and easy to communicate with. The checkout process was the easiest I’ve done. I would stay again if I was back in the area.

Will Be Staying Again

Everything is exactly as you see in the photos. We had a group of friends stay together for four nights and we all loved our experience. Love the fact that shampoo and soaps are provided. Some basic grocery items and a full kitchen were a huge selling point as well!

Spacious convenient property

This was the perfect property for our family stay. Plenty of bedrooms and space. Enjoyed the pool. Location was convenient to airport, places to eat and ASU. Nicely decorated and comfortable beds. Kitchen could use a larger coffee maker and better pans but we rarely cooked here so made do.

Big windows, Heated pool, laundry, and toddler amenities

Great stay and felt comfortable for the duration. A few updates need to hardware for safety and a light in the garage where the laundry is located. Would stay again. Thanks!
