Phenomenal visit
I’ve rented 6-8 times, all very nice but one. This one was far and above the VERY best ever!!! Excellent location- to my daughter, grocery, airport, other amenities. Perfect, perfect house for our pets, comfy beds, excellent kitchen, just overall warm, welcoming and comfortable. Very responsive hosts to my questions, but NEVER needed to reach out during the stay as absolutely NO problems. I only hope they’ll have me back again in the future!!!!

Everything we needed!
The house was easy to find and get into. We were greeted with bottled water, chips and salsa. Nice touch! Loved sitting out back and TV was easy to use. Would definitely rent again and recommend for anyone considering this house.

Ahwatukee Family Tune
The property is in an excellent location for a variety of interests. Close to restaurants, shopping, and in a great location to get around Phoenix. The house is perfect for family gatherings and with different age ranges, there was something for everyone. Hiking trails are very close and February is the best time to hike the mountains in Phoenix. Spring training started mid February, and other family decided to come and visit from multiple states. Nights were great for cooking dinner, watching the sunset over South Mountains, and stargazing. Perfect.

Needs an updating
The house was clean and in a convenient neighborhood. Overall it is quite dated and in need of a refresh. The kitchen and bathrooms in particular. For example, the dishwasher is very old and challenging to use. The fourth bedroom is in the garage. The host had to be reminded to send check-in information. Overall a decent place for the price point.

Family gathering
This property was perfect for our gathering. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and sharing meals with family. It's a quiet friendly neighborhood with a wonderful backyard for enjoying the weather and family. It's close to trailheads which we enjoyed hiking each morning. The bedrooms were spacious and beds very comfortable. The living room was furnished with very comfortable furniture. I would definitely stay here again.

Fine for what we needed it for
The house was just fine for what we needed it for. Owners were very responsive and receptive to texts. Went out of her way to add specific creamer for our group for our morning coffees. Had a few maintenance issues but owner was quick to take care of. 4th bedroom was quite odd and in an odd location but if you just need a 4th room for sleeping it does the trick. Was actually the quietest room in the house. The other three rooms next to each other you can hear everything, paper thin walls. House is fully stocked with plates, cups etc. however nothing else so if your looking for spices or things like that that some places have this one doesn’t yet, likely as it’s new to VRBO I assume.

Great rental for a short or long visit
The house was very clean - with a great kitchen and fenced in yard (wish we would have had more time to enjoy it). The beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay there again. Sorry it isn't available for our next trip to Phoenix.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Moses

Host profile image
Phoenix is our home. Karen is a native here, and Bino moved here from upstate New York over 40 years ago. Phoenix is a great place to call home, with many outdoor activities to enjoy, road trips to take, a rich history, and great weather most of the year. You can easily travel to Northern Arizona to enjoy winter activities and scenery, while staying in the Phoenix area for the warmer climate and all the recreation, events, and other activities offered in the Valley. We would like you to get to know Arizona for its beauty, climate and charm.

Why they chose this property

We lived in Moses Casita for 10 years, and enjoyed its close proximity to the South Mountain Preserve trails for hikes and biking. Every block in the neighborhood has beautiful mountain views, whether walking, biking, or driving. Western Star Park is just a short walk from the house, and offers breathtaking views of the mountains, and a walking path. The neighbors are friendly folks, many whom have lived in the area for many years.

What makes this property unique

Mountain views. Close to the freeways. Close to trails. Really, close to almost everything...
