Property was nice, clean and warm welcoming. Property manager was great at checking in and readily available when we had an issue with our code to get into the home. Location of property was nice and in a quiet neighborhood. Our stay was enjoyable and we would certainly book again.

A True City Oasis

When we go to Phoenix, we usually stay in a bland, bougie resort type hotel. For this trip with our adult offspring for a downtown family wedding, we wanted something different. This immaculate 2 bedroom, 2 bath house was a perfect choice! Beautifully renovated, with old Hollywood artwork this house was a treat to the eyes. Although one block from a busy road and close to a major highway, we never heard traffic noise and the lovely courtyard was a true oasis. It was wonderful to just relax on the comfy patio furniture. The hosts-wow-couldn’t be more attentive, without being intrusive. They gave us restaurant recommendations (Casa Corazon was the best Mexican we’ve ever had!) and made sure our stay went smoothly. We’ll definitely return!

Best Vacation Rental Experience Ever

The hosts were so kind, communicative, and courteous. We chose this place due to how nice the photos looked, but was pleasantly surprised to see that the home was even more beautiful and spacious! Will not be looking anywhere else for rentals next time we’re in the Phoenix area

Phoenix Convention

Traveled to Phoenix for the first time ever for a work conference and trade show. Hotels were hard to come by and expensive. This house was PERFECT! Conveniently located, quiet neighborhood, it ticked all the boxes. Would stay again in a heartbeat whether traveling for work or pleasure. Thanks so much to Colin and JD for allowing us to stay in their lovely home!

Awesome 2 bed 2 bath

This great house was just as described! It was clean. The owners were wonderful and very quick to respond. The washer and dryer worked well. The kitchen had most everything you would need to cook, including some oil and lots of spices and seasonings. Plus all the pots and pans were not all non-stick (a plus in my book!). The couch was actually comfortable! This is unlike many VBROs that I have stayed in. It sounds trivial but at the end of a long day it is SO nice to have a comfortable place to sit and relax. I highly recommend this property. The drawbacks? To reach this house you need to walk up the driveway of the front house to reach this one. With a car parked in the driveway if you are wheeling suitcases or carrying groceries it can be a little squeeze getting by. Also I would not recommend this to someone with mobility issues because to get to the house after the driveway you need to go across a patio (which is amazing) but it alternates between pavers and big gravel. It is challenging to wheel suitcases through (but you can divert to the paved patio for most of it) but a wheelchair or walker would be very tricky.

Wonderful Place

Our stay at John’s Phoenix Retreat was comfortable and overall great. The communication and thoughtful touches, like cold water in the fridge upon our arrival were very much appreciated. The home looked clean and was nicely appointed with all the things that inspire relaxation and a feeling of home away from home. The next time we’re in town again, we will definitely check the availability of John’s place first.

Home away from home

It was truly home away from home. Everything was exactly as stated, the host was definitely awesome they was very concerned with how our stay was going, which I really appreciated. They offered to allow us to check-in to the property early due to our early arrival to the state. The neighborhood was very quiet and the unit was nicely decorated and maintained, which made us feel very comfortable. I will most definitely stay again.

Wonderful property and host

Fantastic property and decor! John left nothing out. He even emailed us before our arrival, asking if there were any specific snacks/beverages we would like waiting for us. Dreamy comfortable beds, beautifully appointed amenities. This is the standard to which other properties should be measured. Nothing but 5 stars!

Immaculate & luxurious in quiet central location

If you’re planning a trip to Phoenix and you want a well-appointed kitchen, spaciousness, luxurious mattresses & bedding, a comfy shaded outdoor area to relax in an immaculate 2 bedroom 2 bathroom house in a quiet historic neighborhood that’s centrally located, we HIGHLY recommend the place where we stayed last weekend. The house is 7 years old - beautifully decorated with upgrades galore. Our hard-to-please17 yo daughter’s only suggestion for the owners was that they replace the James Dean photo in the bedroom she slept in with a Harry Styles photo. Owners/managers were super friendly & responsive too. We won’t hesitate to stay here again! If you need more space, there is a second home on the same property that the same people own/manage. We didn’t see inside but it looked similar.

A very special 2-bedroom rental

Such a beautiful, super clean, and modern space with top-of-the-line hosts. The kitchen was stocked well but not overly cluttered with excess stuff. The master bedroom bed was soooo comfy. The check in and check out procedures were super easy too. The driving distance to many downtown Phoenix locations is less than 15 minutes. Thanks for the hospitality!

Clean n neat

We arrived to a nice clean house with vegan snacks available. Big thanks for that! We arrived early and John was very nice to let us get in early. Plenty of cooking utensils and enough spices. We cook quite a bit while vacationing. We had the whole house to ourselves. Enjoyed the outside area also.
