HO Um Day in Paradise!!
The property is fantastic...we enjoyed grapefruit and lemons off trees on the property...eggs from the beautiful chickens on the property and fresh vegetables from Gina's garden. The two dogs was especially special, they are wonderful pets! Gina and Livi make you feel at home! Hope to back in the fall.

Baseball Spring Training Week
We had a very relaxing time. A evening soak in the hot tub was very relaxing. The pool house was clean, quiet and comfortable. We had fun with the main house’s two dogs and cats It was nice to hear chickens clicking around and their eggs were delicious! Citrus trees everywhere. The house is about a 2mile walk to Peoria Sports Complex. Gina & Livvie, the hosts, were very attentive and helpful. We would stay here again!

Quiet retreat
This pool house was on a beautiful, large property. The space was clean and well-equipped with everything one needs. King bed was super comfy. Home owners are pleasant and friendly. I was thrilled that I had this home to come back to after long days out rather than a drab hotel room.

A perfect 10!!!!!
This was our first ever VRBO...and now we will use it as our standard by which future VRBO's will be judged. This is a shared space with the property owners, as they are in the main house while the VRBO is the "pool house", which is the largest "pool house" I have ever seen. 2 suite bedrooms with full baths, a fullsize laundry room, enormous kitchen....STOCKED of most things you would ever need...if you need something just ask Gina or Livi. We had great communication before we even got there, and once we arrived we met one of the owners in person and he showed us EVERYTHING and introduced us to Pixie & Pogo the dogs, and Rhone and Gypsy the cats (there is a 3rd cat, that we didn't meet). There are also about a dozen beautiful chickens roaming free. It was a paradise. We settled in very easily and the bed was wonderful. We used the pool quite a bit the next day, and it was perfect temp, very clean and very relaxing. Gina and her granddaughter joined us and we had a wonderful time. The pool is beautiful and also very large with a deep end. The pool is located between the main house and pool house...and the entire property is completely fenced. We made it to State Farm Stadium from the VRBO in 20 minutes, and there is plenty of grocery/restaurants/etc. nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will definitely be inquiring to stay there again the next time we come to Phoenix.

Poolhouse
Almost reluctant to tell the world how cool this place is, as it’ll likely make it harder for us to get back. Spacious, well-appointed two-bedroom retreat, overseen by two warm, engaging hosts, augmented by two affectionate, energetic pups, featuring a spacious, well-equipped kitchen, staffed by roughly a dozen exotic hens laying golden eggs that highlight every breakfast. Located in a community where residents raise a menagerie ranging from turkeys to tortoises, nearby wonderful, accessible trails for hiking, and several golf courses. After exercise, we spent hours in the pool and hot-tub, which highlight a courtyard populated by an orchard of edible, juicable fruit trees (how did I live this long without eating a kumquat?). No exaggeration - our best VRBO experience.

Spring Training Home Run!
There are so many great reasons to stay at the Pool House! *We desired a place close to the NW ball parks and it is a great location * It feels like a country setting but you’re 5 minutes from everything you might want or need * The house is newer and well-designed and in pristine condition * The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are spacious * Fresh eggs and fruit are provided to you, how cool is that! * The yard and the pool are beautiful * The hosts are genuinely gracious, responsive and enjoyable but not intrusive at all We loved our stay here and would definitely return! Thank you for everything Gena and Livi!!

Everything you want in a VRBO
This is our second time staying in the pool house. It is everything you want in a vacation rental. It is a beautiful semi rural setting with fresh eggs for breakfast and farm animals all around. The house and pool are emaculate. The kitchen is well stocked and very functional. The property is close to Peoria and not far from Glendale and Phoenix. And all arrangments with Gena were easy and professional.

A sunny warm month in Peoria
Gena and Livie and their sidekicks Pogo and Pixie are great hosts. We loved playing frisbee with the dogs and hanging out in the sun-or covered porch, by the pool. Hot tub under the stars (every night but one) for a month. The pool house is a great size, and feels safe and is very comfortable. THE best sheets and beds for a great night sleep, and make it so cozy. Our kids were welcomed guests and we had friends over for dinner and lunch. I'm glad we have the pool house to look forward to in 2024.

Relaxing and scenic
The property was very relaxing, the amenities were top-notch. Having a pool and hot tub right outside our door was a definite plus (although we did not get to use it much, due to weather). The hosts were very nice and responsive to questions or needs. If you want a restaurant recommendation, ask Livi! The fresh eggs and tree-picked grapefruit and pomegranate were a nice addition to an overall great stay. We would definitely stay here again.

A Great Getaway
I won't echo the great reviews here already, except to say that they are all true (So, I guess I DID echo the great reviews?) My trip has a few asterisks, but it was awesome just the same. *I arrived at 2AM, and the instructions were so clear that I walked right in, and promptly collapsed in one of the beautifully appointed rooms. The next morning I had tea by the pool, and made my acquaintance with one of the cats. By 9 I had met the whole crew. This is such a welcoming place. *I stayed with my daughter, who has some sensory issues. The animals were part of the reason I chose the Pool House. She wasn't disappointed. From bonding with the cats and dogs, to feeding grapes to the chickens, she loved every minute of her stay. I did also. That isn't to say that if you wanted to lay low, and stay away from animals, you could have that kind of trip also. The hot tub and pool are sparkling, and the Pool House is in fantastic shape. Attention to detail is obvious here. There's a lot of space. From the well appointed rooms, to the bathrooms in each that give everyone their own space. So many thoughtful measures to this property that I couldn't possible mention them all--and each was just right. I can't wait to return! Neither can my daughter. I'm sure the cats will miss her!

A Touch of Country in the City
Despite being located in the city of Peoria this spot has a country feel to it. The owner provided us with fresh eggs from their chickens. We sampled oranges and grapefruit from the many fruit trees. In addition to chickens there are numerous other animals in the neighborhood, including ponies and turkeys. And the owners pets frequently came by for a visit. The house has 2 master suites with king beds separated by the kitchen and living room. Everything was clean and attractive. The kitchen was well appointed and functional. As the name implied the property has a large pool with attached hot tub. There is very comfortable patio furniture and ample shade which makes hanging out by the pool a treat. Although it was a little cool when we visited we spent the vast majority of our time out by the pool. The owners were very friendly, and happy to give advice on restaurants and points of interest. Given the opportunity I will surely return to the property if I am even in the neighborhood.

About the host

Hosted by Gena Zestrijan

Host profile image
Have lived in the metro-Phoenix area since 1985 and in Peoria for over 20 years. My husband and I have raised four children and now enjoy traveling when time allows. We designed and built our property to enjoy and are excited to share it with others.

Why they chose this property

Convenient location, close to shopping and entertainment, freeway access nearby, quiet neighborhood with horses and lots of trees all around. Irrigated property allows grass and trees to thrive and resulting several degrees cooler than homes in surrounding neighborhoods with standard Arizona landscape. No neighbor so close you can hear their TV either! Plenty of room to play!

What makes this property unique

We designed this Spanish Colonial home to open to a center courtyard so from the street it appears much like any other home, our treasured space appears only as you enter through a side patio and step through the ivy covered archways to see a large pool, outdoor fireplace with the main house to your right and the pool house to the left. Grapevines cover the outdoor pergolas and shade trees all around.
