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!

Spring Break

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.

Relaxation

Clean, welcoming, relaxing. Host was very hospitable and easy to communicate with. John and his wife and family were welcoming and made us feel at home. The pool was shared with his family/friends, but we were able to have some private time as well. Do not think twice about staying here! It is a perfect getaway!

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.

This property was even better than the listing. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and I wasn't able to use the pool. Everything is clean and well cared for. The kitchen was well stocked and the bed was comfy!

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.

We recently stayed here and enjoyed our interactions with the owners - they were incredibly nice and very welcoming! The property was also very comfortable and is conveniently located near stores and restaurants along with easy access to the highways for the destinations a little further away.

Amazing Guesthouse

This property is amazing!!! It is so comfortable and homey, and decorated so cute!!! We felt right at home here!! All amenities are easily accessible, kitchen fully stocked, linens are plentiful, plenty of towels and washcloths, rokus and WiFi connection easy to connect and good connection, air is cold, we stayed in June And were very comfortable inside, Sun blocking curtains in the bedroom blackouts the room, very comfortable bedroom, patio is awesome with plenty of chairs and space for kids and pets to play, pool is going to be perfect when finished. Good parking, very close to the home. Central location to the interstate, target, Starbucks, circle K, and many other restaurants and a 99 cent store nearby. Not to mention the owner of the home and guest house are the most kind we’ve encountered over our course of travel nursing this past year. John is the sweetest man and has the nicest family. They were very kind, communicative, and allowed for space and privacy as well. We will definitely be back. Our favorite property yet!!!!!

About the host

Hosted by John Giarrizzo

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!
