About this property

El Norte - 3bdrm, 2bath, Heated Pool, Walk to Asu

This remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath house is located within walking distance of Arizona State University and Mill Avenue, which is the heart of downtown Tempe. City bus routes and a light rail system make this location quite desirable. The property is close to Sun Devil Stadium, Grady Gammage Auditorium, Tempe Center for the Arts and Tempe Town Lake, which is the home of the annual Ironman Triathlon and many other events. The AZ Cardinals stadium is a 30-minute drive away so this property is a perfect location for AZ Cardinals games and the annual Fiesta Bowl. If interested, the owner often has extra AZ Cardinals tickets. The nightlife of this college town makes this home ideally located for those who want to vacation in a quiet neighborhood close to where the action is. Since the property is very centrally located in the metro Phoenix area, you can hang out in Tempe or go anywhere in the metro Phoenix area very quickly and inexpensively. Executive as well as designer golf courses are nearby. A short drive will take you to numerous spring training facilities. The Phoenix Zoo is less than five miles away. The living room, bedrooms and the backyard are equipped with cable television. The interior of the house is fully tiled and newly furnished with contemporary furniture. A swimming pool -- heated during the cooler months -- accentuates the covered patio and gas grill in the backyard. When heated, the pool heater is set at 88 degrees but, if the outside temperature gets too cool, the pool temp may not reach 88. That doesn't happen often but it does happen occasionally. There are wet suit tops in the laundry area for your use. Those will help. If you are bringing dogs to the property, please try to keep them out of the pool as dog hair can seriously clog the filtering system. The laundry room is located next to the pool. The property is also conveniently located only 4 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. You will see and hear an occasional plane while sitting at the pool, but that is actually quite enjoyable. With the house's dual pane windows, you will not hear airport noise when inside. This property can accommodate 6 guests but, if you need to find lodging for more, we own 2 other vacation rentals across the street. You can see them at VRBO.com/395773, which has a pool, and VRBO.com/214978, which does not have a pool. We call this property "El Norte" because it is our only property on the north side of the street. You will not be charged a cleaning fee at any of our 3 properties. The property can accommodate a family gathering but cannot accommodate a large event. If you are planning to host an event of any size, please clear it with the owner at time of booking. Please note: Because we have a pool with no special pool fence, we are not permitted to rent to children under the age of 6. Thanks for considering our property. Shirley and Pete

Comfortable and relaxing
Our family stayed here for 6 nights while visiting our son in Tempe. This is our second time staying at one of Shirley and Pete’s homes. We had everything we needed and really enjoyed the pool in the evenings. The neighborhood is quiet and easy access to ASU, restaurants, and grocery stores. I recommend trying one of the huge grapefruits from the tree in the backyard. We will continue to stay at this home and Shirley and Pete’s other home a few doors down.

Perfect size, perfect location and amazing heated pool!
This house was all we could have asked for during our stay in Tempe. The location was great, right near the heart of downtown but without all the traffic and noise. The house had 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms so it was perfect for us and our friends when they visited, The pool was amazing! It stayed the perfect temperature the entire time and was very large, we basically spent most of our time either in the pool or hanging around in the great outdoor space this property had. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking to enjoy tempe life.

Ideal location near ASU
Shirley and Pete were excellent hosts. The house was very clean and they provided several amenities not typically provided. It is nice to see 3 bedrooms, all with king size beds. We enjoyed swimming in the pool while watching baseball on the outdoor flatscreen tv. The house is very close to the ASU campus. The proximity to the ASU campus made it very easy for us to move our son into his college apartment. .

Perfect University Area Property
This property has such a great location in proximity to the University neighbourhood we were there to visit for a hockey camp. Close to grocery stores and cool eateries, it's such a great little neighbourhood. Temperatures were incredibly hot in the area but between the AC in the house and the pool we were perfectly comfortable. The bedrooms all have super comfy large (King) beds with lots of extra blankets, pillows and towels. Kitchen and Laundry are both well supplied for all of the necessities and a few extra's that really helped us feel at home like cooking oils, condiments etc... The communication with the owners was excellent from the very first communication on booking all the way through to the end of our stay. Really couldn't have asked for a better experience overall and we can't thank you enough for the use of your house, it was perfect!

Amazing hosts and property
Shirley and Pete are amazing hosts. They respond quickly and make you feel welcomed. Shirley provided ideas of fun activities available in the area and overall just great to work with. The property is amazing and the pool was perfect for the record heat wave we were experiencing at the time of our stay. I will be staying again the next time we visit Arizona and highly recommend this property.

Absolutely amazing stay! Weather was perfect to enjoy the pool & the tv in the patio with great movie channels was a favorite with my teens.

Amazing stay at El Norte
We recently stayed at the El Norte house for the second time in two years. Shirley is a wonderful host and her hospitality really adds to the stay. She checked in to make sure the property was in great condition when we arrived and she always makes herself available for questions. The house is extremely well stocked, clean and well thought out. There's even a useful guide for guest that contains a ton of helpful information about the house and surrounding area. The neighborhood is great; very quiet but comfortable and there's a park right down the street that's great for families and pets. There are stores and shops in walking distance and Mill Ave is a ~6 minute drive away. My family is eager to go back to Tempe soon and we'll be staying here again. I highly recommend Shirley as a host and the property is great. 11/10.

About the host

Hosted by Shirley Filliater

Host profile image
Pete and Shirley are retired high school teachers. Shirley's first house, which she bought in 1985, is across the street from this property. We have enjoyed renting Shirley's first house as a vacation rental since 2009 -- VRBO #214978. In 2011, we purchased another property 3 doors down from the first and we rent it as VRBO #395773. In 2016, when this house across the street from our first two properties became available, we purchased it as well. That's probably our limit! And, we now want to relax a bit and enjoy our guests. Welcome! Shirley & Pete

Why they chose this property

It is fun to live in this neighborhood. It is quiet but close to a lot of activity. ASU students as well as home-owners live throughout, making the neighborhood upbeat and lively. Pete and Shirley have lived in the area since 1985.

What makes this property unique

The house is conveniently located to ASU and the numerous activities that occur there. You can always find something to do within minutes. A dog park is located at the end of the street so it is entertaining to just sit in the front yard, watching the neighbors walking to the park each night.
