The space
The Prickly Pear is 1,174 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Newly renovated and thoughtfully designed, you will be impressed by how comfortable, stylish, and unique the home is.

COMMON AREAS:
In the quirky AZ-themed living room, you can listen to your music through the sound bar, watch a sports game on the Smart TV, or play a board game. And you will love sipping coffee and sharing meals in the bright, airy dining space next to the vibrant fully-stocked kitchen.

BEDROOMS:
Each bedroom is equipped with amazing bedding, pillows, and its own unique flair. You will have everything you need, including full-length mirrors, luggage racks, hooks for your belongings, and hangers.

BATHROOMS:
The bathrooms are a delight with fun wallpaper, rainfall showerheads, and all the amenities you'd expect and more.

OFFICE:
Remote workers have access to a dedicated office space in the master walk-in closet. Far from being an after-thought, the office has a fun mural that will keep you feeling vacation vibes even while you work.

OUTDOORS:
Soak up the beautiful AZ weather in the fun lounge space complete with amazing swing chairs, outdoor heater, and umbrella. Use the charcoal grill and enjoy a meal outdoors right next to the pool. Get your tan on in the chaise loungers, or enjoy some coffee under the shaded patio. And of course there's the huge play pool with basketball hoop that is warm enough to enjoy from May - September (April - October if you're brave!).

Guest access
There is room for one car to park in the garage -- huge plus during our hot summers! (Note there is no garage door opener, so you'll have to press the button in the garage to open/close).

The driveway has space for two cars to park, and there is ample free street parking available.

Other things to note
The pool does NOT have a heater. It should be comfortable for all from May through September. For brave kiddos and grown-ups, April and October are swimmable as well! If you bring a wet suit, you can swim year-round ;)

Washer and dryer are located in the garage, which is not heated or air-conditioned.

Fireplace is not operational.

Born in the 90s
Where I went to school: Arizona State University
Arizona native who loves to hike, play board games, and travel, though spending time with my family, whatever we're doing, is my favorite thing. My husband and I have 2 girls who we adore — a 3.5 and a 1.5 year old (as of June 2024). I recently quit my job to be a full-time mom. My side hustle is hosting Airbnbs -- I love making people's visits to Arizona special!
