Comfort and convenient
This home was a perfect fit for our family's quick trip to Tempe for a swim meet at ASU. Very convenient to the pool and the house had everything we needed. We loved the game room. The house was comfortable and well laid out for a family. Tracy was super easy to communicate with. Very pleased. We would stay again.

ASU School Tour and Game Weekend
This house is so cute! It’s older but has been updated and has a great use of space. Easy drive to Scottsdale for shopping, Convenient drive or Uber Drive to ASU Campus and the football stadium. Excellent communication with the homeowners. Kitchen was perfectly equipped with dishes, pots/pans and everything we needed. Game room was so cute and there was plenty of seating both inside and out. Backyard lighting was so nice! Only cons: Walls are fairly thin and pipes are noisy when flushing the hall toilet. Couch is a bit small for sleeping (not a pull out bed)..would be nice to have an air mattress to accommodate the teens.in the living room. A few more blankets would be great. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Needs some maintenance but otherwise ok
Lovely house but with some nagging maintenance issues in several areas. The neighborhood was just ok. There were police on the street responding to calls nearly every night we were there. The pool was great, the host was a great communicator. The property should be better maintained and not just when guests complain. The plumbing needed to be unclogged- the sinks and tubs would not drain when we arrived. Although the host sent out a plumber, it would have been better if everything worked the way it was supposed to at the outset. The property just needs a little TLC.

Great bargain house
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.

Almost a polished diamond
This property is right on the edge of a diamond. The location, pool, driveway, and backyard are just a step shy of 5 star rating. We enjoyed our stay here, but a little refinement and this property would be great.

Nice. Just “ok”
There’s nothing on this property to really get you excited. It’s just an average house in an okay neighborhood. Definitely not a “modern” house as posted in the listing. The game room has potential, but all the games are messed up. The pool needed a serious cleaning. No big complaints. But again, no big wow moments either.

Perfect friends trip
This home was a perfect setup for our group of friends. The outdoor area was great and there is tons of seating to sit and relax and have everyone in the same area. The pool was very nice and the provided games were a nice variety. Tons to do for everyone and sleeping arrangements were very comfortable for 2 couples and other friends. Great stay and I highly recommend to anyone looking to book.
