About this property
Tempe Lake Retreat | Pool, Spa + Pickleball + Gym
TEMPE LAKE RETREAT | SWIM. PLAY. REPEAT.
Welcome to a bright, remodeled 1970s home in Tempe’s distinctive The Lakes community. With a private pool + spa, huge covered patio, two living areas and the neighborhood lake just a 2-minute walk away, this is a home designed for families and friends to spread out, play and enjoy Arizona together.
SLEEPING | 3 BEDROOMS • SLEEPS 7
The spacious primary suite features a King bed, private en-suite bathroom and a recliner for reading or relaxing. Two generously sized guest bedrooms each have a Queen bed, individual décor and ample storage.
For a 7th guest, we provide a Twin rollaway. All three bedrooms are exceptionally spacious, so the rollaway can comfortably be placed in any of them—giving families flexibility in their sleeping arrangements.
Traveling with a little one? A Pack ’n Play is also provided.
PRIVATE POOL + SPA
Your private backyard is made for Arizona living. The pool features shallow and deep ends plus a long built-in bench, giving you space to swim, float, play or simply sit in the water and cool off.
The private spa offers another place to relax, and optional pool heat is available for an additional fee during cooler weather. When pool heat is purchased, spa heating is included. During Arizona’s warmer months, the sun does the work beautifully.
We provide pool floats, toys, loungers and plenty of beach towels, and pool lighting makes evening swims even more inviting.
100-FT COVERED PATIO + BBQ
One of the standout features of the home is the approximately 100-foot cabana-style covered patio stretching along the backyard. It provides plenty of shaded space for lounging, outdoor dining and spending time together.
A built-in BBQ with rotisserie makes poolside dinners easy, while the large enclosed yard and real green grass create a true backyard rather than just a pool deck.
TWO LIVING AREAS
One of the features we especially value in a vacation home is having room for everyone to spread out. Tempe Lake Retreat has both a Living Room and a separate Family Room, so the whole group doesn't have to do the same thing at the same time.
The home has 3 Smart TVs, located in the Living Room, Family Room and primary bedroom. One group can watch a game or movie while others relax, talk or enjoy a different program in another space.
THE LAKE + FISHING
Although the home is not directly on the water, the neighborhood lake and public dock are just a 2-minute walk away.
Take an evening stroll to the water, watch an Arizona sunset from the dock, or bring your fishing gear and enjoy some time by the lake. It’s an unusual neighborhood experience that gives Tempe Lake Retreat a completely different feel from a typical city vacation rental.
FULLY EQUIPPED KITCHEN
The kitchen is stocked for real meals at home, whether you're making a quick breakfast before an ASU event or grilling dinner after an afternoon in the pool.
You’ll also find the thoughtful comforts we appreciate when we travel ourselves, including quality linens, plush bath towels, pool towels and everyday essentials to make settling in easy.
DOG-FRIENDLY BACKYARD + DOGGY DOOR
Dogs deserve vacations too! We welcome up to 3 approved dogs, and this home is particularly convenient for guests traveling with them.
A doggy door provides direct access to the large, enclosed backyard with real grass, giving approved, house-trained dogs an easy way to get outside.
Prior approval and a pet fee are required.
GARAGE + EASY PARKING
Guests have use of the full garage, plus driveway and street parking. It’s especially convenient for road trips, families traveling with multiple vehicles and longer stays—and a garage is particularly nice to have during the Arizona summer.
THREE WAYS TO ENJOY THE WATER
Tempe Lake Retreat puts you close to some of Tempe’s best outdoor recreation.
The Lakes: The neighborhood lake and public dock are just a 2-minute walk from the house—great for sunset walks and fishing.
Kiwanis Park + Lake: Less than a mile away, this expansive community park offers another nearby destination for outdoor recreation, walking and time by the water.
Tempe Town Lake: A short drive takes you to one of Tempe’s best-known destinations, with waterfront paths, biking, activities and easy access to Downtown Tempe.
CLOSE TO ASU + THE BEST OF TEMPE
You can enjoy a peaceful neighborhood setting while staying close to ASU, Downtown Tempe, Tempe Beach Park and Tempe Marketplace. Catch an ASU game or graduation, explore restaurants and shopping, or use the home as your base for Cactus League Spring Training.
Then come home to your own pool, spa, huge covered patio and backyard.

This is a beautiful home in a great location. Super clean and well-appointed with everything you might need. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Highly recommend.
Great property, location, cleanliness! Very welcoming and well appointed! Don’t hesitate to stay here! We’ve stayed in numerous rentals and this is one of our favorites!
We enjoyed a very fun and relaxing weekend in Tempe! The property was very clean, had everything we needed, and the pool and spa were perfect, check in and check out were very easy as well. Neighborhood was very nice and quiet. We would definitely stay here again!
We had an amazing stay at Tempe Lakes Retreat! It was just my family of 4 and each kid had their own room, which was great. My kids LOVED the pool. It was the perfect house for our extended weekend. We loved the little walk down to the lake. Would definitely recommend this house. The hosts were amazing and whenever I messaged they instantly got back to me. Wonderful stay!
We stayed here for a few days before flying back to the UK. The house was beautiful - pristine, spacious and, above all, cool. We loved the pool and the peaceful garden. And a great part of Tempe, too. Thank you, Maryann!
Loved this property and enjoyed our time there! The description and pixs are exactly what you will find. Friendly and quiet neighborhood, yet close to everything. The hosts are great and responsive. We look forward to a return visit!
We enjoyed our stay. The property is clean, comfortable, and quiet. We enjoyed relaxing in the pool. We did not use clubhouse amenities. I would stay here again.
Very clean property. Amazing communication and responsiveness. Kitchen was well stocked. Beautiful outdoor area. Quite neighborhood. Would definitely recommend for a family!
We rented The Lakes to spend time together for my daughter’s graduation from ASU. The backyard and pool are beautiful. We ended until taking family graduation photos there. It was a very comfortable place to stay.
Everything about this home was perfect. It’s by far the nicest rental home we’ve stayed in in Tempe, and we visit often. The property is quiet, nicely updated, and has everything you need for a great visit. The owner was responsive and kind. We look forward to staying here again on our next trip to AZ!
We had a lovely experience staying at this gorgeous property. It was exactly as stated in the property description and was very confortable. We used it for our son’s graduation from ASU and it was a very convenient drive from the campus. It was exceptionally clean and Maryann couldn’t have been more helpful. We would love to stay here again if we come back to Tempe. Five
Lovely house! The pool was fantastic and private. The outdoor area had plenty of space for sun or shade. The house has tons of room and very comfortable beds. We wanted a relaxing trip in the sun with a pool, and this was the perfect place to get it!
We had an amazing stay at The Lakes! High end finishes, very clean, super comfy bedding and couches. Beautiful pool with awesome outdoor area. I highly recommend and would stay again! Host was super responsive and extremely helpful. Loved it!
We had a great stay over Memorial Day weekend. The home had everything we needed, was perfectly clean, and the hosts were super responsive. Wouldn't change a thing! We hope to be back.
This house exceeded expectations. It was clean and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed. The outdoor space and pool were wonderful. The hosts were helpful and welcoming. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
My wife and kids and I came for a short weekend. Just what we needed. The property is located in a great location and close to many fun activities. Very clean and quiet. Loved it!
Spotless, beautifully decorated, well-maintained property—inside and out. It was a perfect location for our month-long stay. We, including our dog, were more than comfortable. The well-stocked kitchen and two TV areas were appreciated. Highly recommend.
This is a nicely decorated and clean home in a quiet neighborhood in a beautiful part of Tempe. This location is convenient to most areas in the greater Phoenix area. Easy communication with the hosts. We would come here again.
We enjoyed this house very much. One of the best stocked homes I’ve stayed in. The back yard is adorable and so user friendly off the kitchen. Bbq worked perfectly and also right off kitchen. Communication excellent with MaryAnn. The only let down is the spa. Not very warm and super soft jets but that wouldn’t stop us from staying again.
