Perfect setting and location for out of state family get together for ASU graduation! Gus was great and checked in frequently during our stay. Plan to visit again soon!

Everything about the property was great. Just as described. Gus was an amazing host, very attentive, quick to bring over more propane when we discovered one of the fire pits was out. The neighbor was no problem — we were respectful, parked in the driveway, and inside by 10 PM quiet hours. This was the perfect location and perfect house and amazing backyard to celebrate my son‘s college graduation.

We had a great time at the Splash House! We loved all the fun colors and decor of this home and we spent most of our time enjoying the outdoor area and pool. Plenty of room for a large group to stay.

We had the best time at the Splash House! It is the cutest house ever. Such a great place to host a kids camp. The pool, bunk beds, spacious backyard?! Can’t get any better! All the cute details just make it better and better. We would 100% stay there again. Thanks to the host for being so easy to get ahold of.

The house was everything that was expected! Amazing location - It was only 3 miles from Old Town Scottsdale and 2 miles from downtown Tempe. There was plenty of room inside the house for our larger group, more than enough beds and bathrooms. The outside space was also amazing! Lots of games, TVs, cooking space and the pool was perfect for our stay. We couldn't have asked for a better place for my daughters bachelorette party!

The next-door neighbor will call the cops for anything. There is a sign in the back yard warning VRBO renters that the cops will be called for any noise after 10 PM. The cops were called on us for visiting with our Uber driver when he dropped us off and the officer let us know they have been called when people checked in just to let them know to expect a call later that night. Apparently the neighbor has a direct connection to the local police so they show up every time and let us know they come all the time. It does kind of put a damper on a fun weekend to have to be silent after 10 PM. Because of the neighbor I won't rent this property again. The inside hang out space is too small to have to be in there after 10PM. Its too bad because the outside is awesome and great for a day of hanging out. Would have been nice to watch the outdoor TV later in the evening.

We enjoyed the commoradory thanks to the bunk room and great gathering spaces. The warmth of the week made for a great experience as well. Just didn’t know for sure when recycle day was, so ended up w a full recycling can for next guests.

The property was a great place to hang out with a few friends after a couple rounds of golf. The backyard was immaculate and the interior was well designed. Plenty of space to sleep 8 and store 8 sets of clubs (plus luggage) with room to spare. Check in was a breeze and the owner was easy to reach with any questions and concerns. I’d absolutely recommend this booking.

At first we were a little concerned over the surrounding area but there were zero issues and the house was absolutely perfect! The manager was great as well and took care of us like family. Great place!
