About this property

Experience Yuma's History at the Crim House perfect for a stay or family venues

Welcome to our Crim House, your home away from home! Perfect for your family vacation and small family venues, our home is extremely close to all of the popular locations people come to Yuma for. Located 2 miles from Ocean to Ocean Bridge Recreation Park on the Colorado River and the Downtown Yuma shopping district, within 5 miles from Algodones Mexico for those that go there for dental, vision, and medical needs, within 7 miles to the Imperial Sand Dunes for all the winter ATV, sandrail, and side by side enthusiasts, within 20 miles of Martinez Lake, Fisher's Landing, Senator's Wash, and Mitry Lake for all you summertime boating enthusiasts. There is plenty of space on this corner lot property to safely unhitch and park your trailered fun toys. We even have a 25' covered RV type shade structure where you can park your trailer behind a locked gate and keep it out of the weather if needed. There is covered parking for one vehicle and streetside parking for up to 6 vehicles.
When you come home to our Crim House, you can settle in and relax on our leather furnishings, and feel like you are on a cloud on our huge memory foam bean bags while watching your favorite show or game on our 72" smart TV.
Like playing games? Enjoy a friendly game of cards or other family friendly games in our "Hold Em' Cell" game room set up with an original 1970's 8 person poker table. We also have several other family and kid friendly games for your entertainment.
Time to cook? Our kitchen is fully stocked with everything needed to prepare your meals. Our stove brand new electric stove has a 5 burner top and the oven is capable of being used as an air fryer for those on the healthier side of eating. We have the blender, mixer, toaster, microwave and other items to help you with your meal prep. We have a full sized bar-b-que grill in the back yard with full propane tanks ready for your grill master to cook up those steaks, burgers, chicken, etc. We have enough silverware, plates, dishes, bowls, glasses, coffee cups, and sooooo much more to comfortably serve 12 people. We have a restaurant style cup rinser at the kitchen sink to rinse and reuse your glasses/cups if you'd like to minimize dirty dishes. Our brand new dishwasher will take care of the cleaning for you so you have more time to enjoy your stay. Also in the kitchen is an amazing coffee and tea bar, with a built in beverage cooler for our guests to enjoy. We also have free snacks readily available on the kitchen bar for our guests to enjoy in between meals.
Enjoy eating as a family in our dining room that is separated from the kitchen by the bar counter. Our country style dining table seats 8 people and there is room at the bar for 4 more people so you can all eat together like family should.
Our past guests tell us our bedrooms have the most comfortable beds they have ever slept in. Each bedroom has memory foam mattresses for that floating on air feeling to give you a very comfortable nights sleep. Need room for more than 6 people? We have three 18" thick queen sized mattresses to sleep up to 6 more guests. We have 2 bedrooms with king beds and the third bedroom has a queen bed. The main bedroom and bathroom (en suite) is extremely huge. So large it could easily fit a queen air mattress on the floor with plenty of walk space around it. Bedroom 2 is equally as large and can fit an air mattress on the floor if needed. Bedroom 3 is just large enough for the queen bed. The second bathroom is in the hallway and is a Jack-N-Jill style with doors from the hall by bedroom 3 and the other door leading into bedroom 2. Both bathrooms are stocked with toilet paper, hand soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and blow dryer. We have enough towels and wash rags for everyone.
We have a full sized washer and dryer in the laundry room inside the house just off the kitchen, complete with all the detergent, fabric softener, dryer sheets, ironing board and iron, and even a pull out clothes line for those items you'd want to air dry.
Enjoy the desert landscape of our front yard that is beautifully decorated with native cactus and other plants. The back yard is set up for calm and serenity with a more tropical type setting. Enjoy the shade screen covered area to lessen the sunrays while listening to the water fall. Sit around the fire table as the sun goes down and enjoy the stars.
As part of your Crim House experience, we encourage you to take a family bike ride on our six "Team Framed" beach cruiser bikes. There is a great bike route from our house that will take you along the main canal down to the rivers edge, then along the river to the Ocean to Ocean Recreation Park, then from the park into the Historic Downtown Yuma shopping and restaurant district on Main Street, and from the shops back to the Crim House. We are within a couple blocks of many restaurants, a grocery store, and drug store if the need arises.
For those of you looking for a venue that can accommodate your family and small company events, this is the perfect place. We have successfully hosted family venues such as weddings, receptions, family reunions, graduation parties, birthday parties, baby and bridal showers for up to 50 people. We have also hosted small company parties. Of course, venue rental of this property will have to be agreed to on an individual basis based on your needs and the price for the venues is not the price listed for those wanting a place to stay. Please read and agree to our additional rules. As well, we have voice and video recording cameras on the exterior of our home located at the front door, back door, front of home and carport side of home. Any attempt to adjust, block, disconnect power to, or alter these cameras in any way will result in a $250 fee and subject to cancellation of your stay, loss of any monies paid, and your immediate removal from our property.

Relaxing with surgery

I needed to have surgery and stayed at the Crim house while recovering. It was a pleasant stay. I wish I would've been feeling up to more of the amenities that was provided. Me and my friend enjoyed playing cards in the game room and the outside area was nice and relaxing too!

Unique and Comfortable Home

We booked on short notice to visit my Marine son and attend his promotion ceremony. This is the most stocked kitchen including pantry items I’ve seen in a short term rental! The snacks and coffee bar were a really nice and thoughtful touch. The bedrooms and living room were spacious and comfortable! We had a great time playing cards in the game room! Will def be back again.

Great Stay

Nice and spacious house. Communication with the owner was quick. Small issue with a smoke detector and batteries for a light/fan remote that the owner took care of immediately. A little disappointed that there was not a television in the master bedroom, but it did not take away from our overall satisfaction with our stay. Thank you for sharing your house with us.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
As a Yuma native of over 45yrs, we are definitely vested in this community. We love supporting our community and community events by volunteering, donating, and helping our greatest asset in the world.....our local children. We love the outdoors like boating on the river, going out on rides in the desert. and simply enjoying the evenings outside during the winter months. We fell in love with this house and the uniqueness of it when we saw it come up for sale and immediately took possession of it. Our main house is in the county, but we greatly enjoy staying in this house when we are not hosting venues and/or guests. We have had several venues there such as small weddings, baby showers, family reunions, birthay parties, company dinner parties and events, and more. We love sharing this amazing house with our guests and hope they see the love and appreciation we have for this place.

Why they chose this property

Our 1950 Crim House is settled in a well established neighborhood that is very friendly, quiet, and enjoyable. Some of our immediate neighbors have been in their homes for over 30 years. The fact that they have stayed in our neighborhood that long speaks volumes to the quality of our neighborhood. We know each other on first name basis and watch out and take care of each other like family.

What makes this property unique

The original owner of our Crim House was a prominent doctor in the 1950's who had this house built on what was the largest lot in the neighborhood during his time. The following owner loved plants and had a beautiful garden of exotic native plants in the backyard and native cactus in the front yard. This house is built with plaster walls, 9' ceilings. The plaster interior and exterior makes it a very peaceful place that dampens the exterior noise and keeps the interior climate very comfortable. The backyard is fully fenced and secured so you can fell comfortable letting the little one play and not have to worry about them wondering out of the yard. Even with the extremely safe neighborhood we have, the uniqueness of this property aligns with our Crim House theme in that all the windows have security bars on them, the doors have metal locking screen doors, and it even has barbed wire along the top of the backyard block wall. It's a very fun house playing on the Criminal theme being that we are both Yuma High School Alumni and our mascot is none other than the Criminal.
