Comfortable unit

The location was perfect for us. It was rural in its setting, but a short distance to the Tempe, Scottsdale areas. The space is very tastefully decorated, with all the amenities we needed and the bed was very comfortable! Would stay here again if we are in the area.

From the guest book we left: Dear Marci and Rolland, Thank you so much for your hospitality during our long stay in your nice and peaceful place. We felt very welcome and enjoyed your hospitality during our stay. It was a convenient place to explore all the nice places in the phoenix area mainly the nice parks where we hiked during our stay.

A little bit of country right in the town of Mesa

Absolutely everything that was explained in the description was spot on. Its a well kept small ranch with horses,chickens and a donkey nearby. Marci and Rolland were very gracious hosts. We enjoyed their company and can feel the pride they have for their little slice of paradise in the country . Amazing sunsets through the silhouettes of trees. We loved our month stay.

To say our stay was perfect is an understatement! The instructions and communication were precise and the location was a dream! The bed was our favorite of any location we’ve stayed!

My Mesa Oasis

This property was everything I hoped it would be for my Arizona adventures. Communication with the host was so warm and informative. When I arrived, I could immediately enter the property through the self check-in process. I was delighted with the tasteful decor and the clean and cozy feel. The host thoughtfully supplied everything I needed, and everything I didn't know I needed. A laundry hamper? Genius! I spent about half my vacation at the VRBO and the other half at activities in Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, Tucson, and even the Gila Valley. It served as a wonderful base location, as it was close to the highways but removed from the congestion of the city. I loved hearing birds, horses, dogs, and children during my stay. Since I cooked all my meals, I especially appreciated the well-stocked kitchen. It had all of the silverware, flatware, cooking utensils, and cooking ware I needed. The office nook was perfect for my computer setup. The bathroom is beautifully appointed, and after my stay, I decided I needed to get a bidet attachment for my toilet! I slept extremely well in the comfortable bed and had plenty of closet space. I enjoyed hanging out in the living room with the large TV as well. My host was lovely and made sure I had everything I needed. We connected on our love for beautiful music. By the end of the week, it felt like home. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Accurate Listing, Friendly Hosts

Marci and Rolland are friendly hosts and Marci is very responsive to text messages. The neighborhood is very quiet (especially for Mesa) though there was really no shaded area in the yard where we could sit out in the fresh air. It was also hard to open the front door for light and air because there was a gap of about 6 inches between the bottom of the screen door and the door sill and we didn’t want to risk any “critters” getting in. The bungalow was very clean. Marci was responsive about bringing bathroom cleaning products as soon as we requested some - since we were staying 2 weeks and wanted to clean at the end of week 1. A suggestion for guests staying longer than a week would be to leave 2 sets of sheets. The owner had to come into the apartment and unlock a closet in the bathroom to give us a second set when we requested it. There were already 2 full sets of towels available. Although a washer/dryer is available in the owner’s garage attached to the apartment, we found it somewhat inconvenient to have to contact the hosts in advance to arrange to do laundry so she could unlock the door between the apartment and garage. Also, the fact there was only the front door for egress in case of fire (the back door was locked) made us a little nervous. Overall, a nice well- appointed bungalow for 2 persons with a very comfortable bed and comfortable living room furniture.
