A binder with all the information needed and she included her top picks for restaurants for every cuisine available. The heated pool was amazing. Everything was exactly as decribed on the website. Fully stocked with amenities. Decor and furnishings were top notch. Very quiet neighborhood. We had 2 hummingbirds that visited us on a daily basis. A perfect get away to relax and rewind

Nice & Quiet Getaway

The location was not far from anything we needed and the neighborhood was nice & quiet. We stay at a lot of VRBO’s with swimming pools and this one has to be one of THE cleanest we’ve ever been to. Linda was very easy to get ahold of when needed and the check in/out process couldn’t be any easier.

About the host

Hosted by Linda

Host profile image
Hospitality is something that I value and I want everyone who enters my home to feel welcomed and comfortable. I love to entertain, host parties from 2 to 30, and spend time laughing, conversing and sharing a meal with a great bottle of wine (or 3!) with friends and family. I hope that you will feel the love and care that went into creating my perfect oasis, a place to relax and rewind.

Why they chose this property

After spending many years in Corporate life and relocating more than a dozen times to many wonderful cities (including Phoenix), I decided to return to and retire in the place that made my soul the happiest. I call Phoenix my very own paradise. I found this adorable house during a visit with friends and fell in love with the cozy open floor plan and multiple entertaining areas. I built the pool shortly after moving in, and added the Cabana to enhance the resort-like feeling. The Italian Courtyard has hosted many late nite dinners, where friends and family have mingled to enjoy a wonderful meal under the stars and the sparkling white string lights. So romantic!

What makes this property unique

The walk-up appeal to this house is darling, and from the moment you enter, you will feel at home. I hope you will feel Cozy and Comfortable...these are the two most common words that my guests use when describing my property. And who doesn't want to feel this way when traveling?!? The space is ideal for entertaining, or for an intimate, romantic couple getaway. The accommodations are perfect for a couple, 2 couples, or a family with 1-3 children. I hope you enjoy your time in my little slice of heaven!
