The pool was so refreshing! So many channels to choose from and movies to stream! Tracy was great at communicating and accommodating our unique needs. The couch was a little small for the whole family to sit comfortably to watch movies, but there were chairs. The air conditioning was working and the whole place was very relaxing for our family. .

The house is located in an older housing community. The house is very well taken care, a lot of updates which made it modern, very nice. The beds in the master and second bedroom very comfortable. The bunk beds did not work out well. Adult children stayed in that room, said they were unstable and uncomfortable. We all really enjoyed the game room, coffee bar was really a nice touch. I recommend this place and would stay here again. Two last mentions , the air conditioning was excellent and the house was located very close to campus plus many restaurants. Great big thank you to our hosts!

There’s nothing on this property to really get you excited. It’s just an average house in an okay neighborhood. Definitely not a “modern” house as posted in the listing. The game room has potential, but all the games are messed up. The pool needed a serious cleaning. No big complaints. But again, no big wow moments either.

We had a group of friends that came down for a weekend trip. Location was convenient and near the airport. Pool was nice and clean!! Only complaints would be the spare mattress needs to be replaced and the legs on the corn hole board was broken.

This home was a perfect setup for our group of friends. The outdoor area was great and there is tons of seating to sit and relax and have everyone in the same area. The pool was very nice and the provided games were a nice variety. Tons to do for everyone and sleeping arrangements were very comfortable for 2 couples and other friends. Great stay and I highly recommend to anyone looking to book.

This house is so cute! It’s older but has been updated and has a great use of space. Easy drive to Scottsdale for shopping, Convenient drive or Uber Drive to ASU Campus and the football stadium. Excellent communication with the homeowners. Kitchen was perfectly equipped with dishes, pots/pans and everything we needed. Game room was so cute and there was plenty of seating both inside and out. Backyard lighting was so nice! Only cons: Walls are fairly thin and pipes are noisy when flushing the hall toilet. Couch is a bit small for sleeping (not a pull out bed)..would be nice to have an air mattress to accommodate the teens.in the living room. A few more blankets would be great. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Lovely house but with some nagging maintenance issues in several areas. The neighborhood was just ok. There were police on the street responding to calls nearly every night we were there. The pool was great, the host was a great communicator. The property should be better maintained and not just when guests complain. The plumbing needed to be unclogged- the sinks and tubs would not drain when we arrived. Although the host sent out a plumber, it would have been better if everything worked the way it was supposed to at the outset. The property just needs a little TLC.

Host was an excellent communicator, even when she wasn’t communicating traditionally. There were all kinds of little nuggets around the house that really made a huge difference. Information on how things worked; even the light switches were labeled. I can say everything everyone else before me has said about this property. Let’s just leave it at it’s amazing. Anything positive anyone before me had to say is true. But what stood out to me the most was the little touches that helped me feel more like I was at home than staying in a stranger‘s house.

The Papago Hideaway was a great spot for our family vacation. It is centrally located to Tempe, Mesa, and Scottsdale and a quick drive to many attractions. The pool is VERY cold, so littles may be reluctant to swim but the outdoor living space is great.

Very nice, private, quiet, clean. 10 minutes from the airport and 10-15 minutes to Fashion square mall. Worked out very well for my family. My kids really enjoyed the pool and games. We were able to cook some meals but restaurants were within arms reach. Would definitely book again.

This house is so cute! It’s older but has been updated and has a great use of space. Easy drive to Scottsdale for shopping, Convenient drive or Uber Drive to ASU Campus and the football stadium. Excellent communication with the homeowners. Kitchen was perfectly equipped with dishes, pots/pans and everything we needed. Game room was so cute and there was plenty of seating both inside and out. Backyard lighting was so nice! Only cons: Walls are fairly thin and pipes are noisy when flushing the hall toilet. Couch is a bit small for sleeping (not a pull out bed)..would be nice to have an air mattress to accommodate the teens.in the living room. A few more blankets would be great. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you!

This home was a perfect fit for our family's quick trip to Tempe for a swim meet at ASU. Very convenient to the pool and the house had everything we needed. We loved the game room. The house was comfortable and well laid out for a family. Tracy was super easy to communicate with. Very pleased. We would stay again.

We really enjoyed this house, location was perfect! The only issue is there were hornets all around the pool. They refunded me some money back, which was very kind! Their communication was perfect and they reached out to a couple different people to try and figure out a solution to the hornets. Other than that, A!
