Great location

Super cute house in great location with plenty of amenities close by. Plenty of room and super nice host. We didn’t pay attention to staying where there was a non heated pool which was way to cold to use but other than that no concerns.

Papago Weekend

House is an older house but well kept and comfortable. Property was as described, host communicated well and check in/out was easy. Property is close to amenities but far enough away so you don’t have to deal with the noise and traffic.

We had a group of friends that came down for a weekend trip. Location was convenient and near the airport. Pool was nice and clean!! Only complaints would be the spare mattress needs to be replaced and the legs on the corn hole board was broken.

Host profile image
I love my family, travel and food! Always looking for new adventures to make more unforgettable memories. Put those things together and it just makes sense that we would get a vacation home! And we want to share that vacation home so other travelers can make memories too!

Why they chose this property

We love our vacation home in Tempe because it's cute, cozy and has a pool! We can relax by the pool, play games, and then go out. Also, the location is great! The house is only 8 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, 10 minutes from Old Town Scottsdale, 5 minutes from Arizona State University, 4 minutes from Tempe Town Lake, 8 minutes from Papago Park, 7 minutes from Desert Botanical Garden, and 8 minutes from Phoenix Zoo.

What makes this property unique

The bonus game room is great for games or just for having another hangout space in the house. The adults can hang out in the living room while the kids have fun in the bonus room!
