About this property
Perfect Winter Getaway: South Mountain Trails, Pool, near ASU, Golf, and Hiking!
Hello! I’m Ricardo, an Arizona resident since 2005 and an experienced local superhost. I’m passionate about creating a welcoming and unforgettable experience that captures Arizona’s unique charm and friendly vibe. Staying here means choosing a locally owned and thoughtfully managed oasis. If you have any questions or need anything during your stay, I’m just a message away—here to make your visit exceptional!
This property boasts:
★ Three bedrooms
★ Two bathrooms
★ Open-concept living and dining
★ Inviting front and backyard firepit
★ Expansive back deck/patio with stunning mountain views
It’s a highly safe and quiet neighborhood, primarily surrounded by families and children often playing in the streets. The community is very active, so you’ll usually see mountain bikers and hikers out enjoying the area. Just outside the front door, you can cross the street to a wash that leads directly to the Desert Classic Trail, which connects to South Mountain—an ideal setup for outdoor enthusiasts exploring the trails.
The only "intruders" you might encounter are the occasional coyote, javelina, or quail, which adds a touch of charm to being so close to nature.
We know all our neighbors well, and they’re super friendly. The area is part of Phoenix but is specifically known as Ahwatukee. It’s conveniently located near Tempe and only about 15 minutes from ASU. For navigation, you can take the Elliot exit off the I-10, with major nearby cross streets being Elliot & Warner Loop or 48th Street & Elliot.
★ During your stay, the garage is a shared space with the owner, primarily for access to the washer and dryer.
★ The entire home is available for your use except for the RV/Trailer parked in the front driveway, which the owner (myself) occupied. You may occasionally see me coming and going during your stay, but your privacy and comfort are a priority.
★ While no interaction with guests is necessary, I will be readily available if you require assistance or have any questions during your stay. Your comfort and convenience are my top priorities.

Hosted by Ricardo

Hi, I'm Ricardo, the dedicated owner of Desert Sunrise AZ Property Management. I started this business with my late wife, Gina, in 2018, and now I'm focused on keeping our dream alive. I love our homes and am committed to keeping them updated and clean. I've lived in all of our properties and have fond memories of each one.
I've lived in Arizona since 2005, so feel free to ask me anything if you need advice on activities, dining, or anything else.

Why they chose this property
In 2023, we purchased our home near South Mountain in Phoenix, Arizona, known as Ahwatukee. As we drove to the house and approached the mountains, watching them grow, we quickly realized this was a special area. The home stood out with its all-white exterior, redesigned by previous owners from France. We fell in love with the unique modern features and the proximity to nature, as we love the outdoors.
The home has a double-car garage, a pool, and an RV gate/access. There’s no HOA, yet the neighborhood is very clean and quiet. We know all our neighbors and the area is full of friendly, happy people. We love the quiet stillness and the sounds of birds, quails, and other animals. There are coyotes and javelinas, so watch for them in the mornings and evenings. The backyard offers wonderful mountain views, and the deep diving pool stays cool during the hot months.

What makes this property unique
Our property is truly unique for several reasons. The wonderful neighborhood offers a quiet atmosphere and close proximity to nature, making it an ideal retreat. The home is a spacious, open-concept, single-story brick rancher designed for easy access and comfortable living. It features modern amenities that make it both functional and stylish.
One of the standout features is how the home stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter, providing a comfortable environment year-round. The backyard is perfect for cooling off during the day, relaxing in the morning sunshine, or enjoying the evening sunset. We have fire pits in the front and back of the house, perfect for hosting guests or simply enjoying the outdoor space on your own.
The property is also pet-friendly, with a spacious, private gated backyard offering plenty of room for pets to roam safely. Inside, the rooms are generously sized, furnished with King and queen-size beds, and the home includes two well-appointed bathrooms to accommodate guests comfortably.
This combination of thoughtful design, modern amenities, and a prime location near nature makes our property a special place to stay.
