Robert stayed in close contact to ensure we had all the information we needed and met us when we arrived. The location was perfect for us and the lake was a big plus. We enjoyed the boat and the deck, which was a great spot to grill steaks and enjoy a cocktail. Robert was a thoughtful host. We will be back.

This place was absolutely perfect for our group of 4 trying to get away from the snow in Canada! It’s location was perfect, and provided us with easy access for all of the activities we had planned for the week, with the pontoon boat being a nice perk so we could tour around the community. DiAnn & Robert were fantastic hosts and we’ll definitely plan to stay here again when visiting the Phoenix area!

Close to the airport and most major highways. Robert was great with check-in and all communications. The villa is cute and was well stocked, and very clean. The next time I'm in Tempe, I'll look to book this one again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time by the lake. We spent a month and it was so peaceful and lovely.
The kitchen was a dream.- Everything you could possibly need. A lot of thought went into outfitting this kitchen…honestly, the best ever!
The house was sparkling clean. The beds were comfortable . All the linens were provided. The washer and dryer -very convenient.
Outdoor space was lovely. Fabulous grill and refrigerator. Outdoor lighting and Seating for 6 . To our surprise the umbrella had lights which made game playing fun after dark. The flower pots were brimming with beautiful color as well as the bougainvilleas. The fire pit was perfect for cocktails during sunset…..as well as a great place to enjoy morning coffee. Birds chirping and ducks quacking. The pontoon was such a nice touch. Very relaxing.
Oh I loved the pool. Just a block away. Water was kinda warm and it was a great space for water walking., swimming laps or just reading a book.
The neighborhood was safe and well taken care of. Grocery store, drug store and anything else you might need was close by. The location was great..easy access to anywhere…
Our hosts were simply amazing.. They kept in touch and answered any questions promptly. They truly went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. Thank you for sharing your little piece of Heaven. We loved every minute!
We will be back…..

My husband and I have stayed in many VRBO rentals and this was, by far, the best! Sparkling clean, comfortable bed, fantastic kitchen, and it was stocked with anything you might need. It’s a fun, quirky place with all kinds of interesting things to look at. The setting is lovely, right on the water with a great patio for sunbathing, enjoying a meal or having a cocktail. And the best part - our hosts! DiAnn and Robert are awesome. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you, DiAnn and Robert!

most relaxing vacation!!!
Highly recommend this beautiful home! My sister & I stayed here for a week and enjoyed every minute! DiAnn & Robert are wonderful (even helped us with travel tips beforehand & when I left something behind, they promptly mailed it back to me).
The home is kept immaculate & has the BEST kitchen plus outdoor bbq. We both love to cook but are busy professionals; a gourmet kitchen was just what we needed.
Then there's the pontoon boat & 2 bikes, plus access to the community pool. What a fun bonus! I could go on & on but will summarize to say that there is only positive feedback about our stay here! :-)
Thank you & will be planning a return trip this year!

Such a lovely, peaceful waterfront home! Beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly need at your fingertips to enjoy your stay in Tempe (outdoor patios, private dock with a pontoon boat, BBQ, clubhouse with pool/jacuzzi, garden, wonderful kitchen with top notch appliances, and the hummingbirds!) Our hosts (Robert and DiAnn) were friendly, gracious and welcoming, and could not have been more attentive to our needs. Their home is delightful!!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room and all the appliances were top notch, as well as the cooking utensils. The linens were in excellent shape. We especially enjoyed riding around on the pontoon. I can't wait to plan a girls weekend at this condo.

My husband, our two adult daughters and I had a delightful time at this VIRBO home. The amenities were wonderful, including a Nespresso machine, TVs in every room, fireplace, professional grill and lots of kitchen accessories (an aspect that as a professional chef was very important to me). This home is a lakefront property, and another wonderful amenity was the availability of the pontoon boat at the home’s private dock whenever we wanted to use it. Lastly, the hosts (Robert and DiAnn) were simply amazing. They were incredibly responsive and ensured the property was everything we hoped it would be! We would absolutely rebook if the opportunity arises—our stay was well worth the five-hour trip from Las Vegas.

Loved our relaxing home. Everything provided! Natural products were provided for hair, bath, clothes, dishes, etc. Enjoyed gas fireplace and propane fire pit on the water. Loved use of electric pontoon. So peaceful! Ambiance was so enjoyable. Loved use of pool and gym. I could go on and on, but you must see this yourself to really appreciate it. Robert and DiAnn were the perfect landlords. Very personable. Definitely would rent again.

What a wonderful experience with gracious hosts who were always available to answer questions and "walk" me through things. The home is really beautiful and the photos cannot begin to do this place justice! I had everything I needed for an extended stay. I definitely felt like I was "home away from home". I will miss the sunsets over the lake and the constant flutter of hummingbirds as they came to the feeder for sweet nectar. The location of the property is perfect to get to whatever else you may need: dining, shopping, fuel, grocery - you name it and it is within a short distance. I will never forget the serenity of this place and how it took me on my journey to healing. I highly recommend this vacation rental and the owners are top notch and one of a kind!P.S. There is nothing as serene as an early morning boat ride around the lake as the sun comes up and the ducks go on a tour with you!

Peaceful month long stay
I needed a place near Scottsdale to recovery from a surgery that I traveled for. We could not have found a better place. The home had everything we could ever need, was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. As soon as I was able, we took frequent rides around the lake which was so far beyond what we would have been able to experience at any other rental. We loved the decor and I have already earmarked a few things that we were able to find online to copy for some decor for our own home! :) All instructions for everything were clearly marked. There truly was nothing missing that we might need. Thank you to our friendly helpful hosts! We hope to return someday!!

Charming lakefront home
We enjoyed waking up to the beautiful lake view and then afternoons on the lake front patio & Pontoon boat.
The house has everything you need and then some. High-end appliances. Quality towels, bedding and plush robes. Charming with colorful art and collectibles throughout the house.
We will return.
