1. Pool Vacuum & Equipment
Please do not remove or tamper with the pool vacuum for any reason, as this can cause significant damage to the pool system. If our pool service finds that the vacuum has been removed or altered, any necessary repairs or equipment replacement costs will be deducted from your security deposit.

2. Guest Limit
Please do not exceed the number of guests on your reservation. If you booked for six guests, we plan for six. If you have additional guests, just let us know in advance.

3. Visitors
If you plan to have any visitors at the property beyond registered guests, please give us a heads-up beforehand.

4. Respect the Home & Neighborhood
This is a quiet residential neighborhood, not a hotel or nightclub. Please be respectful of both the home and our neighbors.
- No parties
- No fireworks
- Quiet hours: 10 PM – 7 AM

5. Pets
We allow up to two dogs (additional fees may apply). Please clean up after your pets—failure to do so may result in a deduction from your security deposit.

If your dog enjoys lounging on furniture, we kindly ask that you place a beach towel where they lay.

6. Pool Safety
No lifeguard on duty – swim at your own risk.

7. Smoking Policy
Smoking is permitted outdoors only, including both marijuana and cigarettes. Please dispose of waste properly. Any evidence of indoor smoking or lingering odors will result in an additional cleaning fee.

Please clean the grill after use. If you run out of propane, you can swap the tank at a local station. We rely on guests to refill when needed, but I’m happy to schedule a delivery on Wednesdays or Saturdays with a day’s notice.

13. Air Conditioning
Arizona’s desert heat is different from other climates. To prevent damage, please follow the AC guidelines in the house manual.
Example: On a 110°F+ day, if you’re outside by the pool, set the AC to 80°F—it will still feel cool when you come inside.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Kristie’s home this weekend! From the moment we booked, Kristie’s communication was outstanding—she provided clear and detailed instructions for check-in and check-out, making everything completely stress-free.The house itself was spotless and so well-stocked with everything we could possibly need. It truly felt like a home away from home. We especially appreciated all the thoughtful touches for kids—there were toys, games, and plenty of supplies that made traveling with little ones so easy.The backyard and pool area were exceptional! The pool was beautiful and well-maintained, and there was more than enough space for our dog to run and play safely. The layout of the home was perfect for our family, giving everyone their own comfortable space while still feeling cozy and connected.The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, yet just a short drive from anything you might need—shops, restaurants, and local attractions.Thank you, Kristie, for being such a wonderful host and for sharing your beautiful home with us. We can’t wait to come back!

Mesa Magic

This was our first VRBO in the Phoenix area and we had a great time around the town. This property is located in an area that offers quick access to all of the major road networks to get about the city (although after about 3 weeks we learned how to take major side streets to get about without the angst of freeway jams). The property owner (Kristie) was excellent with both the check-in/check-out process. Nice grassy area for our 2 little dogs in a great backyard. The home is well supplied with just about anything you would ever need for the kitchen and bathrooms. The "ice cream truck" even comes by this street on Friday evenings between 6:30-7!! Kathy and I would definitely book Kristie's home again when we head back to the Phoenix area. Cary & Kathy Mathes

Absolutely fantastic!

TL;DR Everything was great.My son competed in a track meet held at Mesa Community College. We were lucky enough to stay at this listing. The house was perfectly located only 4 minutes from the college. Grocery store and and restaurants equally close. A Costco maybe 8 minutes away. The house was spacious and well appointed. We don’t like to eat out much and it was easy to cook with such a great kitchen. There was plenty of room to spread out and my son was able to nap in the TV room while my wife and I could hang out in sitting room and not bother him. The pool was fantastic for cooling off in the summer heat or enjoy the moon and stars at night. The hostess was very responsive and friendly. Even though we didn’t have any issues she promptly responded to my messages. Absolutely no complaints and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Best Stay Ever!

We came down to gather for our daughter’s graduation in December. We had a terrific BBQ dinner - with the fully stocked kitchen (spices as well as every kitchen utensil, pot, pan, baking dish you might need)! We just added paper plates and extra napkins! The house is so clean and welcoming and comfortable. The beds were amazingly comfortable and the climate control was spot on. My granddog appreciated the real grass to hang out on. I cannot say enough about this property and of Kristie! She is a terrific communicator and very responsive. We’ll definitely be back! Terrific property!!!

Hi Everyone!

I love my home and I love to travel. I decided that I'd list my home for rent so others could enjoy it and I could also enjoy the world. When I'm not in Phoenix I'm off traveling the US and Canada in my RV with my pups.

I take pride in my home and I'm sure you'll love staying here. It is set up 100% as a vacation rental and I'm available to make sure your stay is 100% perfect.

I was born in Michigan, but moved out to Arizona over 10 Years ago. Arizona is an amazing state and there is so much to explore. Tell me why you're in town and I'll help you find the best that we have to offer.
