HERE IS HOW RENTAL WORKS
I rent out 30 day blocks or longer. Property is located near the VA hospital. This condo has wall mounted TV's in every major room with easy to operate remotes. Every room is oriented towards providing an excellent sleeping room to get away and relax.
Please note that in some cases you may need to check in on the last day of preceding month you are renting to keep things on track. The exact stay dates may not be able to coincide with the month exactly but it will be very close. 31 night stays are not allowed unless you want to book more than one month. Your first day should be on the same day the previous renter departed. You can always communicate with me first and we can iron out the exact arrival and departure date. If you choose to arrive on the first day of a 31 day month I think you will be fine. In that event no need to communicate before hand.
Upon arrival, easily access your vacation home with a keyless secure door; no need for an in-person key exchange. Your rental will be professionally cleaned and ready for you to enjoy. You can expect all the comforts of a fine hotel, including shampoo, soaps, paper products, towels, and linens.
If you need anything at all before or during, your stay, please do not hesitate to ask and I will direct my full resources to help.

This was our third winter at Chance’s condo. It’s nice and roomy and has everything that you need. In addition, it is pet friendly, which is such a bonus.

It was a pleasure to have you stay again Gayle! I hope you enjoyed it! The best of the luck to you!
Chances’s condo is very nicely furnished. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen contains all the needed apparatus. Everything was quite clean. We enjoyed sitting on the comfortable furniture on the balcony. We used the well stocked gym often. The condo is near downtown Phoenix and there are many good restaurants within a short drive. Also an excellent park is nearby. We have already rebooked.
Very nice property. Very clean. Chase is excellent at communication anytime I had a question.
We needed a rental with a time frame we were unsure of. Chase was very helpful and accommodating. His condo was great and I would highly recommend this rental.
It is a very nice place- had everything we needed. Loved that every room had a tv .

About the host
Hosted by Julia Petersen
My name is Chance, I am officially in the VR business full time. I travel light and happily stay in my properties that remain unrented. It provides for a great change of scenery and whenever I check in I know it will be wonderful experience. I take pride and satisfaction in maintaining my properties for my guests in so to provide to them a hassle free and safe stay.
Why they chose this property
I purchased this property while working at the Phoenix VA when my livelihood lied in a different profession. The condominium complex is relatively innocuous and low key. The condo itself is the best part of this package deal. The place has been given a thoughtful transformation that makes it feel homey, warm, and functional. Each room is oriented to be a sleeping room and each room has a well functioning TV mounted on the wall with an easy to operate remote. I provide basic cable TV service with all the major news channels. On demand is not available. The Living Room TV is supplied with a DVD player.
What makes this property unique
I picked this property for its unique price point and the excellent functionality it provides for a home. I bought it for what it could be and not for what it was. The transformation is almost complete. For now my only wish would be granite countertops. The home is provided with a security door and you can keep it locked while you are inside. This provided for excellent security and provides excellent peace of mind while you just want to be locked up safe inside. I do not provide this key. You still have the main door for the security of your personal items when you leave the property.
