We loved everything about this house! From the well-stocked kitchen to the comfortable beds to the pristine (and well heated) pool, Derek has thought of every little detail for his guests. The perfect rental for us and our adult children!!!
Our stay here at the Manzi Place was absolutely glorious! What a beautiful home & pool with the outdoor set up. Only thing I would complain about is not staying longer!! We hope to be back with more friends and family to show them what we got to experience here! 10/10 would recommend! THE POOL IS AMAZING!
This is my second stay at Manzi place. One of the best VRBOs in central Phoenix. Beautiful home. The house is well appointed, clean, comfortable furniture, and beds, and a gorgeous backyard. I will be back!
Beautifully updated clean home with unique features. Lovely backyard with an enjoyable salt water pool. Location is convenient to many needs and a short drive to PHX. Comfortable bed, tranquil home.
beautiful, well kept, updated property. easy check in and check out process. easy to communicate with the owner who is super nice. thanks for a great stay!
Wonderfully appointed and clean home. Nice central location for trips to GCU, Airport, and Biltmore area. Great communication with hosts regarding stay. Would definitely stay again.
I can’t say enough good things about our stay here. The location was great, the house is beautiful and the Derek was very helpful, communicative and friendly. We truly enjoyed every minute of our stay. It’s safe to say this was my favorite VRBO to date. Thank you, Derek!
Stayed here while dropping off and moving in our daughter at GCU. The place is beautiful and I live all of the extra details that put it over the top.
Thank you for having us!
Our family loved this home and hope we can return again and enjoy more of the amenities! We stayed for 12 days and the home had everything we needed. The pool was perfect for daily swimming. We enjoyed the inside living spaces to cool off and watch movies or play games. Thankful for a quality place to use as a home base as we visited family all over the valley. The house had a great location to get around easily and quickly.
The property is wonderful. The pool is heated to a very comfortable 90 degrees. The beds are cozy. The kitchen is well supplied and groceries are easily delivered to the house. The street is very quiet with almost no traffic. It is close to hiking trails. We will definitely stay here again.
I am an AZ native that now lives far away, but travel to Phoenix several times a year to visit family, and I’ve stayed in 100’s of VRBO houses/condos in the area. This is BY FAR my favorite house to date. The location is perfect, the house is immaculate, the beds are comfortable, the couch in the living room is big and comfortable, the kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked, and the backyard is an oasis! The pool!!! Communication with the owner is fantastic. We will be staying here again!
Absolutely delighted to share my experience at this incredible VRBO stay!
Firstly, let's talk about the space itself - impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with every amenity imaginable, this cozy retreat felt like a home away from home. The inviting atmosphere was perfect for relaxation.
The hosts went above and beyond to ensure our comfort throughout our stay. From providing local recommendations to promptly addressing any queries or concerns, their hospitality truly made us feel welcomed and valued as guests.
Location-wise, this VRBO couldn't have been more perfect. Nestled in a charming neighborhood, it offered the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. With easy access to nearby restaurants,sight-seeing and hiking, exploring the area was an absolute breeze. There's also a nice paved trail that is easily accessible from the neighborhood that we used for our daily runs.
And let's not forget about the little touches that made all the difference - from the abundant toiletries and towels, sparkling pool, beautifully landscaped yard, firepits & well-equipped kitchen for our stay in meals.
Overall, my experience at this VRBO exceeded all expectations. If you're looking for a memorable and unforgettable getaway, look no further - this is the place to be.
My wife and I stayed at this property for 19 days and had a wonderful experience. Our host was exceptional and more than willing to make sure our stay was the best ever. The home was amazing which included an outstanding backyard with pool, outside TV's, firepits, and a wonderful grilling area. The pictures online were more than accurate but being there made you realize how nice this home really was.. We would encourage anyone that wants a truly outstanding vacation in the Phoenix area to consider staying here. Our host was always quick to help us with any questions and always extremely positive. The combination of a super home, an exceptional host, and great weather made the stay Phoenix a dream vacation.
As a family of five (with three kiddos 5 and under) we stay in VRBO's when we come to Phoenix to visit family. We have stayed in many throughout the Valley and this house was beyond our favorite. We even hosted Thanksgiving there!
The house is amazing. Perfectly set up, it allows for fantastic indoor-outdoor fun without being making parents of young kids nervous (if you have kids who aren't 100 percent swim ready yet) about them getting out. The bar window into the kitchen allowed people to be in the kitchen while others were outside enjoying the wonderful pool and not miss out on the fun. There are two TV's outside which was amazing for enjoying the sun but not missing any of the Thanksgiving games, a great grill area that is well stocked for cooking out, and a heated pool that stayed nice and warm the entire time we were there.
The kitchen was set up with everything you need - a coffee maker (both drip and pod), a blender, an electric kettle, plus all the cookware, dishes and utensils you need (did I mention I cooked Thanksgiving there?). The living room is great for lounging and all the bedrooms and bathrooms are comfortable and well stocked with everything you need.
Beyond all of that, Derek was wonderful. He made everything seamless and comfortable while making sure he was available for any questions we had - he even has a video he sends you when you arrive that explains all the ins and outs of the house. When he found out we were cooking a Turkey he offered to have a meat thermometer overnighted!
It's now the only place I want to stay when we visit!
I had such an amazing experience the first time, I booked again and everything was just as wonderful. Thank you for an enjoyable stay. Always responsive, clean, and of course would return.
Beautiful home, and even better backyard. Derek was pleasant, and easy to communicate with. Our daughter's spilled some Gatorade on the sheets, and Derek was very understanding and easy to deal with. We'll definitely be back.
Our family loved our stay at the Manzi Place!
From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by comfortable and luxurious amenities that made our stay wonderful.
From comfortable beds, high-end furnishings and details including access to a coffee bar, great-smelling soaps, well-stocked bathroom amenities, kitchen amenities and access to laundry facilities. His house is immaculate yet feels comfortable. The outdoor patio and pool set-up provided our family a lot of fun together.
Derek was helpful from the moment I connected with him to inquire of our stay, to arranging our reservation, meeting us for check-in and providing a simple check-out process.
I would highly recommmend anyone to stay at Derek's place!

About the host
Hosted by Derek Harris
My name is Derek and it is my pleasure to get to host for your stay in Phoenix! I am a Phoenix native and am very familiar with all that the Valley of the Sun has to offer. Besides hosting short term rentals, my full-time job is with the golf brand PING where I have worked since 2010. During my tenure I have worked as an Engineer responsible for development of new golf clubs as well as a leader of some large business projects including a WMS and a global ERP implementation. Additionally, I was fortunate enough to lead new product development based in Asia for almost 4 years during which time I spent over 150 nights per year in various hotels. It was during this time where I took note of the most important elements of comfortable accommodations which I use now as a vacation rental host.
I have a wonderful wife, a young daughter, and at the time of writing this, a son on the way. We are the home owners and hosts and being a young family ourselves, we absolutely love getting to host for other families.
While we handle most elements of the booking, we also have a tremendous cleaning crew we partner with who have been serving us for a few years already. They are true professionals so rest assured your stay is in good hands.
We can't wait to get to welcome you to Manzi Place!
