About this property

Private Tempe Townhouse: Enclosed Landscaped Yard, Hot Tub, Pool & Open Views

Welcome to Your Tempe Retreat.

Enjoy total privacy and unique character in this spacious, owner-managed 1,800-square-foot stand-alone townhouse. Located at the end of a quiet residential street in central Tempe, our home features a completely private, enclosed landscaped yard. The property backs up directly to the northern border of the former Shalimar 9-hole golf course. While the course closed in April 2025, your backyard maintains peaceful, open views of a natural green space with large, mature trees and frequent visits from local birds, including lovebirds and hummingbirds.

Uniquely decorated in Southwest style, the home offers a layout that is highly private and perfect for a single or couple, two couples, groups of friends, or a family.

Living Spaces: Two separate, large living rooms divided by stone pillars, furnished with rich leather seating, a down chaise, a 60” Sony Smart TV, and streaming services (DirecTV & Amazon Prime).

Kitchen & Dining: A fully stocked chef’s kitchen with a 4-person table, plus a formal dining room that seats 8. Complete table service for 12, a blender, crockpot, juicer, and all essential utensils are provided.

Master Suite: Features a premium King-size Brooklyn Hybrid Bloom bed, a 40” TV, attached bathroom with shower, and a sliding door that opens directly to the patio and hot tub.

Second Bedroom: Crafted with knotty pine built-in woodwork, featuring a Queen-size bed and a large attached bathroom with twin sinks.

Privacy & Accessibility: The bedrooms are separated by a long hallway for maximum privacy. Both bathrooms feature multiple safety grab bars in the showers and tubs.

Private Backyard Oasis: Unlike many local vacation rentals, our outdoor space is entirely yours and fully surrounded by a wall for privacy.

The Hot Tub: A premium Dimensions I hot tub sits directly on the master patio, running on a dedicated heater—perfect for relaxing on crisp desert evenings year-round.

The Pool: A completely private, enclosed backyard pool. (PLEASE NOTE THE POOL IS UNHEATED). It is naturally warm and great for swimming or just relaxing from mid-April through mid-October.

Outdoor Living: The beautifully landscaped yard features separate lawns, citrus trees, and rose and flowering bushes. Enjoy a morning coffee on the furnished patio or grill dinner on the outdoor BBQ while enjoying the views.

Amenities & Added Extras: High-speed internet with panoramic Wi-Fi. Full-size washer and dryer. Three adult bicycles and one child's bike provided to enjoy the quiet, low-traffic neighborhood. Large garage and wide driveway with parking space for 2 cars.

Standard sleeping arrangements are for 4 guests on the King and Queen beds. For flexible layouts, an additional twin fold-away bed (best for children), a quality self-inflating Queen air mattress, and a twin mattress setup can be deployed from storage upon request.

Unbeatable Central Location. Our central location cuts down your driving time significantly. The property is less than 15 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and features nearby access to the US-60, Loop 101, and Loop 202 freeways.

10 Minutes or Less: Arizona State University (ASU), Mill Avenue, Tempe Town Lake, Tempe Marketplace, Papago Park, the Phoenix Zoo, Desert Botanical Gardens, and local spring training stadiums.

Nearby Conveniences: Multiple grocery stores, restaurants, and banks are located within 3 miles.

House Rules & Booking Requirements: We have worked hard to make our home a wonderful place to stay. Because this is our personal home filled with unique, breakable decor items, it is best suited for adults who will treat the property with care.

Age Requirement: The primary renter must be at least 35 years old. No Parties--Family entertaining is welcome, but large gatherings, parties, or events are strictly prohibited.

Tempe City Ordinance Compliance: Local law requires short-term rental owners to obtain the name and date of birth for each registered guest to conduct a standard federal background check. Please provide the names and dates of birth for all adult guests with your reservation request. If VRBO blocks the date of birth info, you will need to provide it by separate message.

Booking Request Note: Please include a brief explanation of the purpose of your visit and a short description of the guests staying in the home when you submit your inquiry.

Thank you very much for your interest and we look forward to hosting you.

If you ever want to get away and relax by the pool and hot tub, this house is your location. The house was absolutely beautiful and spacious. Lovely kitchen that was fully stocked with everything that you would want to use. You can tell alot of thought and detail went in this house for their guests. Another big thing that I loved was the location, it felt like everywhere I needed to go it wasn't far, everything was in close proximity, so that's definitely a plus!! One of my favorite features is the master bedroom and right outside the sliding doors is a jacuzzi! Host was amazing with communication, great response time. I will definitely be coming back and requesting this location again!

This house was wonderful. It was very close to the ASU campus which worked out well for my son’s graduation. This house was beautiful inside and out and in great condition. The owner had anything you could possibly need and made us feel at home. The pool was great but it was too hot to try the hot tub, maybe next time.There were a lot of pool toys, the kitchen was stocked with so many things. The fridge was large and there was an ice maker so we didn’t need to buy any ice. I forgot my hair dryer and they had that too.Highly recommend renting this beautiful house if it’s available, you won’t be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Charles Campbell

Host profile image

We are Charles and Jeanne Campbell and we live in Nebraska. Charles' mother lived in the home for the last 25 years before moving to Tucson in 2014 and we were able to obtain the house. We come when we can to enjoy the Arizona sunshine, and enjoy the house as our retreat.

Why they chose this property

When Mom decided it was time to give up the house and move to Tucson, we jumped at the chance to take it. We've visited whenever we could over the years to recharge our batteries, soak up the sun and enjoy the valley lifestyle . . . golf, shopping, eating, hiking and sightseeing, etc. and loved the central location that the house provides and great access to the major highways.

What makes this property unique

Great location, plus the beautiful surroundings inside and out. We enjoy just sitting on the patio enjoying the beautiful views, watching the birds and ducks on the golf course, and hummingbirds in the garden, especially when we can leave behind the frigid midwest winter for a few days.
It is a spacious home with character. We hope you find it to be welcoming and friendly. It works well for a vacation retreat, golf trip or spring training games, ASU graduation, etc.
It is best suited for older folks, as there are numerous artifacts around the house, and a pool and hot tub.
