The house was perfect location for everything in Tempe. Plenty of room for family to stay and be entertained with game room TV and swimming pool great to barbecue and cook a family meal and have College kid over with his friends beautiful backyard to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning and entertain in the evening Owners were quick to respond with any questions I had. I would stay there again and recommend this to anybody.

A gorgeous oasis in the desert!

We were stunned by the beautiful palace in the desert! The layout is quite unconventional, but the place is well suited to a large group. The ammeneties were well kept.

Amazing place and great experience!

This is an awesome property. I stayed here with my fellow Tillman Military Scholars for Pat's Run. We had a great time, and really enjoyed our time. It was convenient to the stadium, the pool and hot tub were amazing and we created memories we will have forever. Thanks Joseph!

Wonderful Time!

We (a group of friends who enjoy Spring Training) stayed here for 4 nights! It was a beautiful home that accommodated us really comfortably. The hot tub, pool and tennis courts were fun! I highly recommend this home for a fun, relaxing vacation!

6/10 Okay

It's a fine place, but "Luxury" is a stretch.

If you are doing something like a football weekend with the guys or visiting your kids at ASU, this location can not be beat. Walking distance to everything, but on a quiet street. The house is in fine shape, but it is not a luxury property in my opinion. The layout is a bit of a hodge podge. We had a hard time finding two of the rooms because one is behind the workout room and another is up an outside staircase above the bar. The overall condition of the place is fine, but not great. For instance the shower is plumbed backwards, the outdoor shower is only half tiled, and the slide in the pool is a hazard that should either be fixed or removed. That being said, the great room and kitchen area is nice, and the pool/TV room is a fun place to hang out. They have a great bar and outdoor area, but it's a bit removed from the rest of the house and so only useful if the weather is great and you're doing a lot of outdoor entertaining. The pool is nice, the hot tub is brand new, and the tennis court is a bit cracked and dirty, but adequate. If the owners cleaned up the place a bit, and brought in a real handy man to fix all the small issues, then I could call this a very nice place to stay. I don't think I could ever give it the title of Luxury Home.

"Luxury" is obviously in the eye of the beholder and therefore we have removed it from the title. Our goal is allways to over-impress rather than to underwhelm.

Great for a Guys Trip!

Came out to Tempe with eight guys for Spring Training and Golf. This place has it all! Fantastic location and awesome amenities. We used all of it, the pool, tennis court, pool table, foosball, fire pit and a great bar. Plenty of sleeping options. Owner is great to work with. Highly recommend this place!

Why they chose this property

15th Street is a much desired place to live given the large lots and proximity to ASU and Downtown Tempe. Plus our unique bar with foosball table.

What makes this property unique

Close to everything but far enough away to truly enjoy.
