Winter Getaway

Our family really enjoyed our stay here! The pool warmed up nicely even though it was very cold the day before we arrived and the communication with the owner was excellent. The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The location was also very convenient to shopping, restaurants, and other attractions.

Visiting our son in AZ

An Arizona Gem!

All of us absolutely enjoyed our stay at this property. House was very clean, everything was well labeled and was very roomy. We had 9 people in our party and had plenty of room for everyone. Pool and outdoor space was wonderful as well. Owners were very quick to respond with any questions we had. Highly recommend this Vrbo location and will see if it's available when we come back to the area. Thanks for sharing your property.

A desert oasis

This is the second time we have stayed at this property with my immediate family and two cousins. I can't say enough good things about it! We love the layout of the house and backyard. It is immaculately kept and well stocked with everything you need for cooking, convenient laundry to keep up with clothes, a comfortable sectional perfect for watching a movie and the beds and linens are lovely to sleep on. It is seconds to the highway to get anywhere you need in the city quickly. The hosts were great to work with and appreciated the opportunity to reach them directly instead of a third-party service.

Beautiful home

Lets just take a moment and talk about the couch 😂 The couch was so comfortable and enough room for my whole family to cuddle up and watch a movie, which we did and I fell asleep during the movie. This home was not just beautiful but also very welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need to cook up a delicious meal. They even had baking sheets which we used to bake cookies. We grilled by the pool,relaxed on the back porch. We played bored games on the back patio table which was so much fun. The kids really enjoyed the pool and so did the adults. House was well equipped with everything you could need. Definitely would stay here again.

Nice Property

Property was very nicely decorated and was clean, the neighborhood was nice and close to the hwy and grocery stores. The bedroom doors didn’t close all the way and would get stuck when you tried to open. I notified owner and they were willing to send someone out to fix it right away but we decided it wasn’t going to be an issue. The house overall was very nice and spacious and we really enjoyed our stay. I will definitely choose this home for my next phoenix trip. Thank you 😊

The best by far!

I cannot say enough good things about this home and it's hosts! The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The home was beautifully decorated and equipped with anything you could imagine. The beds were so comfortable and all the rooms were nice sized and very nice. The foosball table was a huge hit! There is an amazing coffee shop, Cortado Coffee Roastery, a few blocks away, it is a nice, short walk through the neighborhood. But the real gem is the backyard! There was lots of space, multiple seating areas and options, and the pool! The pool was such a lifesaver! Even in the cooler weather it was the perfect temperature and the toys and loungers were a very welcome bonus! We will stay again on one of our future visits for sure!

Perfect House, Perfect Vacation!

We had the most amazing stay at Annie's Place. The house was very welcoming and the open floor plan made my wife want to sell our house and look for one like this! Our kids, 3 and 5, spent most of the days in the heated pool, and were completely worn out at the end of each day. Even though the weather was "cold" for Arizona standards (mid December), the pool heater was cranked to 97 to try and keep it warm enough (outside temp was 59-65 during the day, 39-44 at night, and the pool was able to stay around 80-82). Connor is a great host, who goes above and beyond to make sure his travelers feel at home and that no details are missed. Prior to the trip, he responded to all my messages quickly and continued to check in after our arrival. I wish all hosts took as much pride as Connor does, in making a trip as good as it can be, we will definitely stay at Annie's place again!

Extended family getaway

The location of this house is easy to find and close to a variety of things to do like Top Golf and OdySea Aquarium. The host, Lauren, checked in on us and made sure that everything was working for us. The neighbors were friendly as we went for walks around the block. The four bedrooms were nice for each couple to have their own room during our stay. Annie's House accommodated our group comfortably.

We are excited to share "Annie's place" (named after our first born) with all those that wish to visit Arizona! We cannot wait to host you in our amazing home.

Why they chose this property

We love the outdoors, don't mind the heat at all (love the 0% humidity that is unheard of in Chicago).

Phoenix has so much to offer and explore!

What makes this property unique

This is beautiful property! It truly is the perfect combination of comfort & space for any family getaway! You will love the modern, open concept design to host your family & friends!

The backyard is like an Arizona desert oasis filled with palm trees, an orange tree, cacti, oleander trees, and well groomed bushes! No to mention the beautiful pebble tech pool.
