Heated pool was a slice of heaven. Walkable neighborhood with coffee and groceries a stone's throw away.Clean, comfy, fantastic.Excellent communication with Host, including restaurant recommendations.5 Stars for sure!
This is our second time staying here and everything is wonderful. Linda has thought of every possible amenity and is very responsive if there is a need for communication.
The location was not far from anything we needed and the neighborhood was nice & quiet. We stay at a lot of VRBO’s with swimming pools and this one has to be one of THE cleanest we’ve ever been to. Linda was very easy to get ahold of when needed and the check in/out process couldn’t be any easier.
Linda has a beautiful home with a wonderful outdoor pool area. The home had every possible amenity and was welcoming and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet, near a grocery store and restaurants with easy highway access. We can't wait to return!
We loved staying at this house. The welcome basket was such a nice touch! The location was perfect for hiking in South Mountain. There were many restaurants and breweries in the area that were only a short drive. We hope to be back.
This location is gorgeous and well maintained. Linda was an excellent host. We loved relaxing in the pool and watching the hummingbirds zip around. Would absolutely recommend this house for future vacations.
My wife and i really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, the pool was clean and refreshing, and the location was awesome. Good restaurants and shopping near by. Linda was a great host. Definitely would recommend and we would stay here in the future.
Linda made us feel welcomed as soon as we walked through the door. She had a welcome basket with lots of goodies. A binder with all the information needed and she included her top picks for restaurants for every cuisine available. The heated pool was amazing. Everything was exactly as decribed on the website. Fully stocked with amenities. Decor and furnishings were top notch. Very quiet neighborhood. We had 2 hummingbirds that visited us on a daily basis. A perfect get away to relax and rewind
We enjoyed our stay here and the owner was very responsive about any questions or issues we had while staying there. The property is very cute and the pool area is great....we were there early in the year so didn't really get to enjoy the pool (too cold for me).The home is very nicely decorated and very homey!!! We really enjoyed our two months at this home and will plan another stay in the future.
Our family from 3 states converged in Phoenix for a relaxing girls trip. Shopped till we dropped, enjoyed your beautiful botanical gardens and ate till we burst. It was a perfect get away with a lovely home to relax and get caught up in!
This home has so many special touches-- floaties, robes, heated pool, a welcome basket and a beautiful interior/exterior area. Also, Linda is great at communication and wants you to enjoy your stay.
The property is well maintained and clean.The pool is clean and the outdoor area is relaxing. Linda is very accommodating and friendly. I will stay at this property again if I’m in the area.
This house is wonderful, very clean and comfortable. It has beautiful backyard spaces. The pool is Amazing! Safe and quiet neighborhood. Great communication with Linda. They have thought of everything you might need while renting. Highly recommend!
We had a great time celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary in this lovely home. Everything was spotless and very welcoming. The pool was very clean and offered a nice escape from the heat. We enjoyed an early morning hike nearby and the neighbors were quiet. One of our all time best VRBO experiences to date! We didn't want to leave!
Katy and Jeff
We loved the privacy of the gorgeous pool. There was enough shade for us when we wanted to get out of the sun. A grocery store was just a block or two away. While the 80 degree AC was a little warm for us, there were ample fans.
In a nutshell: We’ve already looked at rebooking, but it is booked for the weekend we are needing. Highly lrecommend!
Linda is wonderful. The property is beautiful. Quiet, lovely neighborhood!
This was our second stay at this home and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. Always clean and well stocked pantry! The pool was perfectly warm and clear. Linda was very responsive for some minor requests. We will be back again!
Linda has a beautiful, nicely furnished and spacious house in a great, central location in Ahwahtukee. The house is well stocked and has everything you need and more. There is a nice pool and courtyard outside and the bed was also one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. Linda is also very helpful and responsive if you need to contact her about anything. Highly Recommended!!!
Linda's place was beyond accommodating. It has everything you possibly need for an AZ trip. The house is seriously dressed up so cute. The yard and pool area are an absolute sanctuary! It was so easy to find, and location was a quick couple min drive to I10 or basically anywhere you needed to go. The neighborhood was very nice and really quiet. If I ever just do a couple's trip, I will be staying here again! Linda was seriously so nice and communicated thoroughly. She wasn't even in the U.S. during our stay and still managed to check with me to make sure we were enjoying ourselves! Thank You so much!
Linda's place was the best vacation rental we have had among many. We were welcome, at home, and amazingly comfortable.
I regret that I did not leave a guest note to that regard. I wanted to tell her that I was happy to see our hummingbirds made it safely to AZ, having left Michigan two weeks prior.
I extend our heartfelt thanks for her five star hospitality.
