Beautiful Home

One of the best and nicest VRBO’s we’ve ever stayed at, and that’s a lot! Beautiful home, nice area, beautiful decor, comfortable beds and baths, and a beautiful outdoor space. Would definitely try to stay here again if I returned to Phoenix!

This was the perfect home for our work trip and group. We had four people and having our own space and bathrooms each was great! The home had everything we needed and was clean. It is on a very busy street at all hours of the day and night. The road noise is not horrible when in the house but very loud while enjoying the superb outdoor living space. The home is older but redone well, so it has some of those old home quarks. The hot water doesn’t go above warm, so showers are brief.

We stayed at this home for a local Phoenix event and brought our whole family along with two close friends. We truly enjoyed our stay. One of our favorite features was that every bedroom had its own bathroom, which made hosting a larger group extremely comfortable.The living room was phenomenal, spacious, cozy, and perfect for gathering together. We all piled onto the couch with plenty of room, wrapped up in warm blankets provided by home, and watched a Christmas movie. The kitchen was fantastic and had everything we needed.We loved spending time in the backyard, enjoying coffee in the sun and relaxing in the jacuzzi during our winter stay. The long, gated driveway was a great bonus, allowing us to park both cars securely and giving the property a very private feel.The only thing to note is that the home is on a busy street, so pulling in and out of the driveway requires a little care. However, once inside the gate, it feels completely secluded, you don’t see or hear the street at all. The backyard is quiet, peaceful, and tranquil, making it very relaxing.The hosting team was wonderful, super responsive, professional, and incredibly kind. The home is cute, beautifully decorated, and such a pleasure to stay in. I highly recommend it.
