Great House

I can’t say enough great things about this house. My husband and I brought our mothers to see our ASU student. House was close to campus, spotless, and had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the back yard and the grilling dinner each evening. Would definitely recommend. Also, I have stayed at many VRBOS and have never had one so well stocked with EXTRA paper products and trash bags.

Great house and great location

Stayed here for ASU parents weekend and the house was the perfect location. Close to all ASU activities. House had a nice living and outdoor door area and was very clean and well equipped. Internet is a bit slow so wasn’t optimal for working a lot but was enough to get by for a long weekend. Host communications were excellent.

Hygge House Was Perfect!

I rented this house to be close to my 50-year high school reunion events. I shared it with my sister and a friend from MN. The house was perfect for us! Really clean and well-appointed with everything from a Brita in the fridge to shampoo and soap in the showers, to extra towels, to corn hole, Frisbee golf in the back yard! and more. The kitchen had everything we needed and there were plenty of spices as well. It was quiet at night and the back patio was a perfect place for morning coffee. Best of all the location in Tempe was close to everything including the airport. I would most definitely rent this house again!

Great Get-Away in Tempe

We enjoyed our 1 month stay at this home in a quiet Tempe neighborhood. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. I will say it was the best VRBO rental we have stayed in for kitchen utensils and coffee beans provided. We really liked the totally enclosed backyard for our dog and we used the grill and fire pit and the nice patio. This house is on the free Orbit bus line so we were able to hop on and get to the Tempe Art fair and avoid parking hassles. We could easily walk to Meyer Park which was a nice place to take the dog. Overall, the location was good for getting to Scottsdale and Phoenix, in spite of a lot of traffic. The owners of the house were easily accessible and we would gladly stay at this house again.

Very nice house and back yard! The kitchen is very well equipped and beautiful. The living room is very inviting and comfortable. Lots of closet space. Plenty of hot water. Excellent heating and air conditioning system. Sliding glass door from dining room to the backyard. The backyard is perfect for dogs or children. Our dogs loved the backyard. The hosts Neven and Kirsten responded very quickly to answer questions. We truly appreciated them. Neven even added some extra security to a yard gate for our dogs. Some nice restaurants in the area are US Egg, Thirsty Lion and King’s Fish House and Top of the Rock. Great experience overall.
