Property is in a great location, very clean and decorated very well. Pool was great to hang out at during the day. Owner was very responsive and everything was very easy. Our entire family really enjoyed the place and we would highly recommend it to anyone else.
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.
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.
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!
Very nice property in a convenient location. Quite neighborhood next to a park. Great layout with nice kitchen, outside patio and heated pool. We'll definitely try to stay here again.
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.
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!
I’ve stayed in a lot of motels on the road for business. I’ve never had to worry about my health from moldy/dusty air ventilation or stepping in dog crap by the pool…until now. We stayed in a hotel instead of there and then were refused a refund. The host was mad because I was upset that that there was pubic hairs in the bed. When we called to resolve with VRBO, the agent scoffed at me when I said we would contact proper channels. Unprofessional on every level and unrentable. I’ve got close to 50 pictures and videos of dilapidated furniture, mold in the fridge, unworkable garage door, mold in the shower, disgusting beds, dust and mold in AC venting, and dust and dirt everywhere. Not being accountable for bad business and displacing a family from 1600 miles away…Convenient that only 1 picture will load. We cancelled with no refund. 3000.
