Indeed A Perfect Getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay! John and Roberta were wonderful hosts. Their cottage was very clean and so very comfortable and quiet; it felt like home away from home. And the private patio on the west side was a bonus: we got to enjoy a few rays of the setting sun in winter. We would definitely stay here again.

Paradise in Mesa

This rental was perfect for the two of us and our dog. The casita was tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. We really appreciated the fenced in backyard for our dog, the private outdoor area and the ability to enjoy the full patio if we chose. The location was easy to get to major routes to travel around the Valley. The hosts were very nice and accommodating.

I absolutely enjoyed our stay here. We slept 5 comfortably, the pool was amazing. Everything was within 20 minutes it seemed like. I felt very safe, the area was a nice neighborhood. John was attentive and easy to find if I needed him. He waited up for us to get there as we were coming from Michigan so we were pretty late getting there. Would definitely stay again.

Family Vacay and Graduation

The “Perfect Getaway” is FANTASTIC. It was a great location with so many amazing Arizona things to do and see in close proximity. John, Roberta and family are the hosts you dream of getting! We traveled for graduation and an extended vacation, had everything we needed and more. Our kids swam everyday and loved the other activities in the area. We hope to be back soon, and are so happy to have been blessed with an amazing vacation for our family anyone looking to stay in/near Mesa/Gilbert/Phoenix should definitely consider the Casita!

Great Night’s Rest!

I had a very enjoyable stay. The suite had every necessary amenity and the hosts were prompt, accessible and welcoming. They were even able to accommodate an unexpected change in my travel departure due to airline issues. My favorite features, by far, were the pillow top mattress, the high-end linens, and the new plush carpet in the bedroom. I never sleep well when I travel, but this place gave me exceptional sleep night after night. Cozy, super quiet, and so peaceful! The driveway was a little tricky to get out of, and the pool wasn’t as heated as I’d hoped (a chilly 70-ish, which may be fine for some but I run cold!) but overall, I appreciated my time here and the kindness of the hosts.

About the host

Hosted by John Giarrizzo

Host profile image
Extending hospitality is something that Roberta and I have always enjoyed. We recently celebrated our marriage for the 40th time. During these years we have rented out rooms and welcomed overnight guests on a regular basis. We have enjoyed having people stay in our home. We love Jesus because He first loved us, which is an amazing story we love to share. His influence in our lives motivates us to pursue honesty and integrity, along with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, etc. We love meeting people but avoid being intrusive so they can enjoy their privacy. We live on a large lot, with a back yard that is secluded from all neighbors. Our guest house was built for my aging mom with lots of TLC. She has since moved into her permanent mansion. The house offers privacy and quiet solitude, suitable for short or extended trips. We hope you will enjoy your stay.

What makes this property unique

Front porch provides your own private entry, with extra lighting and a security door for your protection and ease of entry. A private west-facing patio provides total seclusion and privacy. A full kitchen overlooks the dining, living room area, along with 9' ceilings, contribute to that open feeling allowing you to stretch out and relax. Plenty of outlets and work-station room at the counter or table. This full kitchen comes equipped with enough pots, pans, and tableware to feed an entire family! Kurig coffee and drip coffee maker are ready to go. You can stock up for days with the full size fridge and freezer! The cozy queen bed with quality linens and pillows with give you a great night's rest. The thick drapes with window blinds and extra insulation can make the room as dark and quiet as you want. The full-size washer and dryer includes all the needed detergent and softener. Last minute ironing before the big interview includes the iron with the board. Designated 5GHz wifi can easily handle a couple of computers and a smart TV. The newly remodeled pool and backyard is like a resort!
