The home is located in the East Valley of Phoenix in a desirable planned community of the Ahwatukee area (closest city is Chandler). Located just minutes from Sky Harbor airport, MLB Spring Training Fields, the upscale Phoenix Premium Outlets, Wild Horse Pass Casino, Whirlwind Golf Resort, Intel and Honeywell Corp. Offices, South Mountain Trail Heads, and many wonderful restaurants, shops and some of the country's top golf courses.

Recently updated and remodeled, this 1,600+ sq. ft. 1 story home offers hardwood floors throughout, granite counters tops, new appliances, and is beautifully decorated in warm neutral tones. The Master bedroom suite has a King size bed, adjoining bathroom with 2 sinks, shower and a separate tub. The 2nd bedroom has a queen size bed with a full bathroom directly across the hall. Both bedrooms have flat screen TV's. There is a daybed in the living room for an additional guest to sleep. Luxurious linens, towels and pillows are provided for your ultimate comfort.

The home offers a 'cook's delight' fully-equipped kitchen with island, 4 bar stools, kitchen table that seats 4. The sliding glass door in the kitchen area lends to easy access to the Italian Courtyard for outdoor dining on the travertine tile table. Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner under the stars and the sparkling string lights in this most intimate setting. Enjoy the brand new, stainless steel, 4-burner BBQ on the patio; all BBQ utensils provided (stored in the kitchen pantry). The family room boasts an over-sized, cozy sectional sofa with plush cushions and snuggly throw pillows for comfortable lounging and TV viewing. There is a formal expandable dining room table that can seat up to 8. The daybed in the living room sleeps 1.

The backyard is lush and inviting, with a newly built sparkling blue pebble-tec pool with a large Baja step for sunbathing or for youngsters to play. The Cabana-style covered patio has 4 comfortable coach chairs and travertine table, complete with TV, that make for an enjoyable daytime or evening living space and conversational area. If visiting in season, feel free to pick fresh oranges or lemons from the citrus trees which line the pool.

Walking/jogging and biking paths are just minutes from the home, that wind for miles through the beautifully landscaped parks and greenways in the area. Mountain biking and hiking on South Mountain are a highlight here, just a few miles from the property. Groceries, gas, and multiple restaurants are all within a short walking distance.

Fantastic place!
We had a great time celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary in this lovely home. Everything was spotless and very welcoming. The pool was very clean and offered a nice escape from the heat. We enjoyed an early morning hike nearby and the neighbors were quiet. One of our all time best VRBO experiences to date! We didn't want to leave! Katy and Jeff

Linda has a beautiful, nicely furnished and spacious house in a great, central location in Ahwahtukee. The house is well stocked and has everything you need and more. There is a nice pool and courtyard outside and the bed was also one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. Linda is also very helpful and responsive if you need to contact her about anything. Highly Recommended!!!

Relaxing space
As we entered the house we were greeted with a very nice gift basket and a air conditioned house. It was perfect. The decor was awesome.. We can’t control weather. It was hot all week. As the evenings cooled down some, we took advantage of using the pool. There were shops close by that took case of our shopping needs.. I will be letting my friends know of this location if they plan to the Phoenix way.

Perfect Getaway!
With crazy work and travel schedules, my wife and I needed a place to get away, unplug and reconnect. Fortunately, Linda's home was exactly as described, a charming desert oasis, that exceeded our expectations. From her communication to the well stocked amenities to the welcome basket to the glorious pool, we could not have been happier with our experience. Thank you, Linda!

Flawless stay in Arizona
Linda has created a house that meets every need of a couple or family and provided a real in-home feel that provided extreme comfort and happiness. We were so happy with the location...close to hikes and beautiful walks as well as practical shopping. The heated swimming pool was a real delight and provided a touch of luxury. Linda was always quick to respond to queries and made every step of the way of staying in her house flawless and easy. We finally appreciated the value for money for such a wonderful house and would stay there 100 times over. Thank you so much!

Loved it.
Linda's place was the best vacation rental we have had among many. We were welcome, at home, and amazingly comfortable. I regret that I did not leave a guest note to that regard. I wanted to tell her that I was happy to see our hummingbirds made it safely to AZ, having left Michigan two weeks prior. I extend our heartfelt thanks for her five star hospitality.

Wonderful private house
We loved the privacy of the gorgeous pool. There was enough shade for us when we wanted to get out of the sun. A grocery store was just a block or two away. While the 80 degree AC was a little warm for us, there were ample fans.

So glad we chose this home. My husband & I flew out from FL to babysit our 16-mo old granddaughter while our daughter & son in law moved into a larger home in the foothills. It was so nice to come home at the end of the day to this retreat. The pool was fab, and the little touches like fresh coffee beans and toiletries were appreciated. Linda was prompt To respond to our questions. We’ll be back!
