3BR 'Mesa Haven' on Golf Lot w/Heated Pool

MiriamRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We stayed for seven nights over spring break April, 2025. Super host, Sam, and he deserves that title, was gracious and accommodating. He responds quickly to inquiries and is eager to help. Check-in was a breeze and checking out was simple. There is not a lot expected of the guests. Thank you for that. The property itself was very comfortable for us. Everything we needed, and I mean everything, was provided - in the kitchen and in the bathrooms and in the linen closet. The home has a spacious great room that included the kitchen, dining and living room overlooking the swimming pool and golf course. We felt at home immediately. We would recommend this property to anyone who wants to stay in the area. It is near restaurants and shopping. The roads are easily maneuvered to get to wherever you’re going. Our weather in April was delightful about 75 to 80° most days.

Charming Backyard Oasis Near AZ Athletic Grounds!

Sarah And MarkRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Though we had a small hiccup with the key box being jammed, they resolved it in timely manner and efficiently. The Airbnb was equipped with some items we needed for our trip. We did appreciated, as parents of littles —Having a fully stocked laundry room (along with plenty of towels), made it easy to freshen up after our trail adventures. The backyard was a nice for our family of five. We enjoyed grilling, the pool, and lounging in the sun. Our children loved the fresh lemons from the trees ( of course we made lemonade) and trying to catch the small lizards that scurried across the walls. Our only minor note is that the beds were firmer than we prefer—our kids were like Goldilocks trying each bed. Also the vacuum needing to stay in pool was a bit cumbersome when all of us were in pool. But it did not overshadow our stay! Thank you for hosting us during our visit to AZ.

LUX Outdoor Living in Old Town with Heated Pool

LeahRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Our stay at Angela's place was wonderful. She provided very clear check-in information and was able to communicate with us when we landed to get us in the house a little early. The location was great for shopping, coffee places, and dinner. Not really anything around to walk to, but nothing was more than 15 minutes away. The house was really comfortable and clean. The living room setup was great to lounge and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The bedrooms and bathrooms were really clean and comfortable. The outside area was really our favorite part. The pool was really nice during the day and at night and the outside TV area was great to sip our morning coffee at. It was also nice to have a speaker outside for our music while we swam. Overall the place felt like home. Thanks so much for the great stay!

Oasis retreat.Private HEATED POOL* Mesa/Tempe/Phx

MichelleRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Very nice home, comfortable, clean, nice ambiance. This home felt like a home. Price for the home was ok. With everything so expensive everywhere, I would have liked to find something a little bit cheaper. Could use a throw blanket for relaxing on the couch. Some dish towels to clean stove and table. Over all very nice, I would recommend to family and friends.

We had an incredible stay at Charles’s home in Gilbert, Arizona! The house was spacious and spotless, with a large open floor plan that was perfect for relaxing and spending time together. The pool was a refreshing treat during the warm days, and the golf simulator was a fun bonus. Everything was exactly as described, if not better. The location was peaceful and convenient, and the host was responsive and welcoming. We would absolutely love to stay here again. Highly recommend!

+Giant Pool w/Waterslide! PickleBall+Hot Tub+Golf+

SeanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The home was immaculate. Every amenity you can think of for a pleasant stay. Everything in the house is very well thought out. The host was immediately responsive to any questions. We had a group of 13 people with 9 of them children ranging 3-16. All of us enjoyed the pool and private back yard the entire week. That waterslide is the stuff dreams are made of! We've been back home almost 2 weeks and the kids still haven't stopped talking about it. We will be keeping this home on our list for our annual getaway. It's like a private little resort all to yourselves. 10/10 recommend.

Heated Pool (No Fee)~Hot Tub~King Bed~Yard Games

KimRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Finding a vacation rental to accommodate 8 people is usually a pain. I have very specific needs to meet for certain family members and this house checked off every single one. It is super close to so many stores, restaurants, and different freeways that it wasn’t a hassle going anywhere. The house is adorable, beautifully kept, and so comfy and relaxing we found we didn’t even want to go exploring. The owners were so sweet and responsive to any questions or comments we had. It’s definitely our go to rental home for Mesa! Already looking at dates to come back.

Desert Getaway w/ Pool in Gorgeous Golf Community

MatthiasRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is hands down the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The house is absolutely beautiful. It genuinely feels like you’ve been handed the keys to a stylishly decorated home owned by a local family - not like one of those overly commercialized rentals. Every piece of furniture and decor has been chosen with care and fits together perfectly. The kitchen is super well equipped, and everything in the house is either brand new or in top condition. And like I said - everything is spotless. Radek was always available and super flexible when we asked to extend our stay by a day. Truly outstanding service. I’ve had many great experiences with Airbnb, but this one really tops them all. I’d love to come back anytime. One last thing: the photos in the listing are nice, but the place looks even more stylish in person. The pictures just don’t capture the amazing vibe of this home. I’m not one to usually rave like this, but this house absolutely earned it.

NEW Luxe Desert Escape/Game Room & Resort Backyard

JudyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The backyard was so peaceful, laying next to the pool, listening to the birds, watching the clouds, it was so relaxing. At night we could fall asleep under thee stars . Just that alone is worth the stay. But inside, there’s was a game area, foosball, darts, card games. The kitchen was beautiful and spacious. The bedrooms were perfect for our family’s needs. The pool area had great seating and lounge, to sunbathe. If I had any questions I could message Shannon and within 10 minutes I had a response. I would absolutely recommend this rental.

Sylvia VanessaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Booked as a mini staycation with kids. The home was beautiful inside and out. The kitchen had all the essentials, beds were big and very comfortable. The kids spent all their time in the game room and outside. We had our lunches outside in the Arizona room and were able to jump right back into the pool. The home layout was amazing. There is access to outside from master bedroom/bath. Host was very nice and responsive. Location is quiet and private. The kids wished this was their home lol. Can’t wait to book again!

Your guide to Mesa

All About Mesa

Saguaro cactus reaching to the sky, expanses of terracotta-tiled roofs, and the constant presence of the arid, imposing Superstition Mountains characterize this south-central Arizona city. While Mesa may technically be a suburb of Phoenix, it certainly doesn’t take a back seat. As Arizona’s third-largest municipality, Mesa has more than its fair share of cultural offerings, recreational activities, and entertainment options. Mesa is home to stylish cafes, a thriving nightlife, and talented chefs exploring the intersection of Mexican, indiginous Southwest, and European cuisines. The Mesa Arts Center is the largest art park in the Southwest, with over 200 sculptures, theaters, and galleries.

The city’s proximity to the Sonoran Desert and accompanying nature reserves provide plenty of opportunities to explore the area’s world-renowned red rock formations. Hiking and mountain biking are popular activities here, with easy access to hundreds of miles of trail systems snaking through the deserts. For a reprieve from the heat, you can always head onto the Salt River or one of several nearby lakes, joining the other paddle boarders, kayakers, and swimmers cooling off in the water.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Mesa

Mesa boasts over 300 days of annual sunshine, with accompanying desert conditions, but the temperature does shift from season to season: from sunny and warm during the winter to scorching (and sunny) in the summer. Because of the extreme heat, winter and the shoulder seasons may be the ideal times to look for vacation rentals in Mesa — especially if you’re planning on hiking and mountain biking. Regardless of the time of year, it is important to be prepared for the heat and sun when visiting Mesa. Be sure you always have access to cool clothing, sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water when you’re outdoors (many locals also keep water in the car in case of emergencies).


Top things to do in Mesa

Lost Dutchman Museum

Set on a 15-acre plot of land at the foot of Superstition Mountain, this museum highlights the history and folklore of southern Arizona. Geological displays will help you look at the ancient rock formations in a new light, and an exhibition on the region’s Native American roots traces the history of human habitation here back more than 12,000 years. Adjacent to the museum are the remnants of the Apacheland Movie Ranch; during its heyday, the facades of storefronts and streets you’ll wander around were used to film several now-famous Westerns.

Arizona Museum of Natural History

Arizona’s arid climate conditions have preserved the area’s geological, anthropological, and ecological history extraordinarily well. The Arizona Museum of Natural History showcases the wide-ranging varieties of fossils archeologists have found in this region, including those belonging to dinosaurs and long-extinct North American megafauna.

Usery Mountain Regional Park

Half an hour outside town, this nearly 4,000-acre nature park lies at the mouth of the Sonoran Desert. Hiking, biking, and horse riding trails lead you through terrain as varied as rugged mountaintops and vast stands of saguaros. If you’re up for a late-night drive, park’s desert air also provides some of the most pristine stargazing opportunities in the country.
