Fabulous!

The condo was immaculately clean, roomy & comfortable! The area felt very safe and the community is gated..... We took a nice evening walk to the nearby cvs. We traveled with our teenage daughter & her teammate for a soccer event and the two bedrooms & baths were perfect for privacy between us and them. Thank.you for a great weekend!

This is a nice updated condo. The condo community is gated and the pool area is small but nice even though we did not use it. We can tell some of the other condos are with full time residences and not kept up but it was very quit and safe. This was the perfect place for us to be close to our daughters apartment when we come and visit. I can tell the owners go above and beyond to make it as nice as possible.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Finnerty

Host profile image
My husband, our children and I have lived in the Phoenix area for several years. I grew up and started my own family in a small Midwest farm town in Illinois. I have always had a great appreciation for the warmth of the desert climate, the beautiful mountains, lakes, sunsets and year round golfing this area provides, not to mention, the vast entertainment choices, incredible shopping and high-energy atmosphere available in the city. We entertain our out-of-state family & friends often in our home and enjoy exploring Arizona with them. We want you to love Arizona as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This is a great central location to access all the wonderful activities the Phoenix area has to offer. Our condo is near The Mill Avenue District, Tempe Town Lake and ASU events. Great dining, beautiful golf courses and multiple forms of public transportation are easily accessible all around you.

What makes this property unique

We are a half mile from the ASU campus! My husband worked at ASU for over 13 years. I work as a RN at ASU presently. We have a daughter who is ASU graduate and we will have another son attend as a Freshman at ASU in the Fall of 2021. We know a lot about the current events happening on and around campus. We bought this condo with the idea that it would be an awesome location, and a safe and very comfortable living space for our own children in the future. Traveling over the years as a family of six, we put a lot of thought into the furnishings and little extras here so that everyone has an affordable and relaxing stay. Please ask us about our other ASU/Tempe vacation rental property: 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath located on the ground floor in a gated complex next to the pool, spa & fitness center.
