Papago Paradise near heart of Scottsdale and Tempe!

Enjoy a stylish experience in the centrally located place! Walking distance to Papago park, wake up and run along the water! Less than 1 mile from Starbucks. Very close to both the downtown Tempe and old Scottsdale areas. If you’re in town for college football, Tempe Sundevil stadium is just 2 miles away. With our location close to the airport getting around is extremely easy!

This unit was comfortable, remodeled and close to many things. The bedrooms back to a fairly busy road, so a white noise machine or ear plugs might be a good idea. This is the only reason I left 4 stars rather than 5. Daniel was very responsive and helpful!

House was clean and easy to enter. Rooms were spacious. We misunderstood - the pool is not in the back yard - it is down the road and is a community pool. Not a big deal - just surprised. We were the only ones in it all three days. Backyard and bird poo and a dead bird. Not real appetizing for dinning outdoors.

Great Stay for Tempe Rock and Roll Half Marathon

Property was perfect for our visit. Clean and comfortable. There were 5 of us and there was room for 2-3 more. Location was very close to the airport, Tempe, & Scottsdale. 2 of our kids ran the half marathon. we had no problems dropping them at the start, seeing them multiple times on the course and seeing them at the finish. David was wonderful to deal with. Strongly recommend this property if staying in the Tempe area.

Great stay

My family came into town for college visit. It was convenient to ASU’s campus and also very close to activities at Papago Park. The property was well-appointed and gave us plenty of space to spread out and decompress. Highly recommended!

Terrific Family Meet-Up!!

This four bedroom two bath home was perfect for meeting extended family for Thanksgiving. We made a full turkey dinner in the beautifully appointed kitchen and spent each night in the back courtyard area reminiscing around the fire pit. Our host was super responsive and made everything so easy! Loved, loved, loved our stay!

The property is in a quiet suburb in Tempe. Parking was great. I had a problem getting my account to work and the Property Manager was quite accommodating. We had an excellent stay.
