Beautiful Home Centrally Located, With Pool

BenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was a lovely home with a very nice pool area in the backyard. We came in early April, so it wasn’t quite the full heat of summer, but the house stayed very cool with several fans running. It was easy to find, park, and get in to the place. We greatly enjoyed our stay and adventures in Phoenix!

MorganRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We really enjoyed our stay! The space was clean, comfortable, and had a great layout with tall ceilings that made it feel open and airy. It was the perfect spot to relax after exploring the area. The location was super convenient—just a short drive to downtown Gilbert with lots of great restaurants and shops. We’d definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others!

Great experience at Gail’s place. Such a cute, clean accommodating place. Very comfortable. Lots of condiments in the refrigerator and cabinets. We forgot to pack coffee, but no worries! They had some there. The bonus was the spa in the backyard. We loved the beautiful surroundings while relaxing in the spa! I would definitely recommend this Airbnb!

Relax & Enjoy the Sun at our Desert Oasis

RayRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We came to Goodyear for Cleveland and Cincinnati spring training, for the 1st time, and we couldn’t have picked a better location to stay. The house was comfortable for the 6 of us and the walk was only 25 minutes to the ballpark. Stores and restaurants were only a short drive. Josh and Kimberly were very responsive when I reached out to them with questions.

Beautiful Desert Lakeside Beach

DanielRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We recently came back to Gilbert to stay for the holidays and found this townhouse. It turned out to be the perfect place for our family! Everything was extremely nice and new. The kitchen was perfectly stocked and we were able to make dinner there every night. The complex is in a very nice location in Gilbert and the amenities including the hot tub and pickleball courts were lots of fun. Sophia is an excellent host and great to work with. We are already planning to book here again when we return this summer!

Sunny Home Away From Home. Easy access to Valley.

MelanieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Darolyn is the bomb!!! We drove 1800 miles with a dually truck, trailer, motorcycles and our large dog. Darolyn’s communication from the beginning was exceptional. She explained how parking would work and there were no surprises! Her place was PERFECT for us! We have a Neapolitan Mastiff and she was right at home. We brought her kennel and set that up in the living room. It worked really well. Our dog easily learned how to use the doggy door and loved it. FYI, there’s a huge dog park a couple miles away on Carver Rd. We went there everyday. Our dog will miss the new friends she made 🐾 The beds were so comfortable and I loved having a TV in the larger one. The shower head was delightful and the pressure was excellent. We couldn’t have asked for anything more in the kitchen. It was well stocked and accessible. Loved having a washer and dryer available and use of one side of the garage. The patio was very comfortable and the privacy blinds were great at night. Thank you Darolyn!!

Exclusive Spacious Retreat by Old Town Scottsdale

EllRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our stay at Stephen’s place was absolutely exceptional! The home was roomie, well decorated, and absolutely squeaky clean! Everything was very well stocked, including kitchen necessities, bath and pool towels, laundry detergent, trash bags, plenty of toilet paper, spices, coffee, etc. Stephen even put out two bottles of wine and chocolates for our arrival! He was very communicative and also receptive to the couple of additional recommendations we mentioned for the home. Grocery stores and a nice coffee shop are nearby - the location was convenient to everything and the neighborhood was safe and overall very peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed the well heated pool which was even larger than we thought and the wonderful hot tub! Don’t miss out on staying at this fabulous getaway!

Your guide to Phoenix

All About Phoenix

Sun-bathed Phoenix, Arizona’s capital and largest city, rules the Valley of the Sun, a metropolitan region that also includes such bustling regions as college town Tempe and swanky Scottsdale. A former agricultural hub, Phoenix is now the state's economic and cultural lynchpin. The city is home to world-class museums, nearly 200 golf courses, and — thanks to a population that is more than 40 percent Hispanic or Latinx — some of the best Mexican food to be had north of the border. The city also attracts adventurers who want to hike through storybook desert landscapes dotted with cactus and dramatic rock formations, which can be found just outside the city.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Phoenix

This is the desert, and it’s hot. From June through August, it’s not unusual to experience temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, dipping to 90 and 80 degrees in September and October. November through March bring temperatures in the 60s and 70s with dips into the 40s, and in April and May, things soar back up to 80 and 90 degrees. Overall, the city sees 300 days of sun and very little rain. Pack for hot weather, and don’t forget sunscreen. During winter, bring layers for cooler mornings and evenings.


Top things to do in Phoenix

Camelback Mountain

This mountain earned its name from a pair of peaks that resemble the hump of a camel’s back, and its reputation as a tough but rewarding hike thanks to panoramic views of the Valley of the Sun. There are two trails to take to the 1,420-foot summit, the Cholla Trail and the slightly harder Echo Canyon Trail. Both are challenging, featuring rocky terrain, steep ascents, and some climbing. As you hike, you’ll be surrounded by the colorful pink, orange, and red hues of the sandstone terrain from which saguaro and prickly pear cactus grow. Camelback Mountain is located just twenty minutes’ drive from downtown Phoenix, so you won’t have to wait long after finishing to reward yourself with a snack and a cool drink.

Desert Botanical Garden

Looking for something less taxing than a sweaty mountain hike? Explore more than 50,000 plant displays in this gorgeously landscaped 140-acre botanical garden devoted to desert flora. Thousands of agave and cacti grow here, alongside 485 rare and endangered species. Five themed trails cut through the gardens, which grow against the backdrop of the Papago Buttes, a cluster of striking red rock formations. The garden also hosts musical performances and art installations. Grab a quick bite at the cafe, or enjoy a sit-down meal of farm-to-table fare at the garden restaurant.

Musical Instrument Museum

Strum a Peruvian harp or try your luck at coaxing sci-fi-style wails out of a Theremin at this utterly unique museum showcasing more than 8,000 musical instruments from more than 200 countries. No, you can’t touch everything here, but a highlight for many visitors (especially kids) is the Experience Gallery, where you can bang gongs and thump on massive communal drums. A STEM gallery explores the science of soundwaves and frequency, while the Mechanical Music Gallery showcases player pianos, automatons, and music boxes that play themselves.
