Better than Expected

This was a clean property that was better than depicted in the pictures. The 3 codes (gate, door, alarm) were kind of cumbersome but worth it. The back yard was small but very private considering the house was in town and close to other houses. We would stay again.

Perfect place to stay when attending a wedding at The Secret Garden

Saadi was a great host and his home was wonderful—clean and thoroughly stocked with everything we needed. The only thing that needed attention was the fountain, but we didn’t spend time on the patio so it wasn’t a problem for us.

We had a very nice time visiting our daughter who goes to school near by in Tempe. The house was clean and very homey. We visited the hot tub after a long day of hiking. We had everything we needed to fix meals. It was a very nice experience. Thank you

April Wedding

My son and his family joined me for my Niece’s wedding. The home had plenty of room for all 6 of us. It was close to the airport as well as the wedding venue. We loved exploring the area, especially The Farm at South Mountain. I had a few questions about the location of a few things and Saadi was quick to respond.

Beautiful Home Base to Enjoy Phoenix

This property was amazingly quiet and comfortable for our family of four. We never expected to have such a beautiful back patio with so many different types of birds when we were physically located in a large city, but this home felt secluded and we enjoyed sitting outside by the fountain whenever we were at home. The rooms were spacious and had comfortable mattresses, and it had an exceptionally well-outfitted kitchen. We were able to get everywhere we wanted to visit within 30 minutes as long as we avoided rush hours.

Clean and spacious

Perfect place for a group of 6 adults to stay for a great weekend of dragon boat racing! It was definitely nice to come back to a clean, homey place after a long day of paddling. Adults might have a hard time sharing the bunk beds though since they squeaked and moved with every tiny movements. Kids probably will have no problem.

Best Stocked Home We've Ever Rented

The owners thought of everything possibly needed! The kitchen had everything imaginable! Beautiful home, nicely furnished, comfy beds and furniture. Nice patio area with a fountain, which I really enjoyed in the afternoons while family was at spring training ball games. Owner was very responsive. Unfortunately, the hot tub was not in working order, even though a call was placed to maintainace by owner. We'd like to visit again! Mike and Gay H.

I’d say the place was better then pictured! Spacious inside. Outside on the smaller side, but large enough for 6 and as they say, parking is limited. We found the place perfect for our needs and the owners were very accommodating.
