Desert Getaway-Private Pool, Fire Pit & Coffee Bar

Step into your own slice of Sonoran paradise! Our home invites you to slow down and savor desert living with a private backyard designed for memory‑making. Gather with friends and family around the sparkling pool on sun‑drenched afternoons, share stories and s’mores by the cozy fire pit as the sun sets, and grill up your favorite dishes on the propane BBQ. Ambient lighting and comfortable outdoor furniture create the perfect atmosphere for dining under the stars and lingering over drinks.

Inside, a fully stocked kitchen awaits with everything you need to prepare family meals. The adjoining dining room seats six comfortably, and a charming breakfast nook houses a coffee bar complete with single‑serve, drip and French press coffee makers so you can start each morning just the way you like.

The sleeping quarters offer peace and privacy after your adventures:

Primary suite: king bed, en‑suite bath with shower/soaking tub combo and separate toilet room, generous counter space and a walk‑in closet with full‑length mirror.

Second bedroom: king bed with ample closet space.

Third bedroom: queen bed, ideal for adults or teens.
All bedrooms feature their own HD TV, plush linens and plenty of storage. The shared guest bath has a walk‑in shower.

The garage will be inaccessible during your stay as we utilize it for storage, and while the pool is unheated, the Arizona sunshine keeps it refreshing most of the year. We look forward to hosting you and helping you create unforgettable moments in our warm and welcoming desert retreat.

Guests will have access to the entire home except for the garage which is used for storage. Parking is available in the driveway or along the street.

If there is anything you need during your stay feel free to reach out through the Airbnb app in the message portal. My personal phone number will also be made available to you after booking and will be posted in the home if there is a situation that requires more urgency.

Located in Ahwatukee Foothills (south Phoenix, zip 85048) at the north edge of South Mountain Park. The area is residential and suburban—mostly single‑family homes and planned subdivisions—with local grocery, restaurants and small shopping centers along nearby Ray Road, Chandler Boulevard and 40th Street. Outdoor recreation (hiking, mountain biking) is a major draw because South Mountain’s trail network and scenic viewpoints are within minutes. The vibe is quiet, family-friendly, and oriented to car travel.

Drive: The neighborhood is car-dependent; most guests drive or use rideshare. Street parking and direct driveway/garage access are typical. Major local arterials: Frye Road, 40th Street, Ray Road and the Loop 202 freeway for east/west travel. Public transit: Valley Metro regional buses run on nearby arterials but service is limited—check Valley Metro routes and schedule for specific stops. Rail: There is no Valley Metro light rail in Ahwatukee; the closest light-rail access is in Tempe/Mesa, reachable by car or connecting bus. Rideshare/taxis: Widely available and the most convenient option for guests without a car. Bike/walking: Local streets are walkable for short trips, and recreational walking/hiking access to South Mountain is excellent.

Unfortunately, our pool is not heated.

Please note that our pool cleaner normally stops by on Thursdays or Fridays and just lets himself in through the side yard gate. This is typical of pool cleaners in the area and we like to mention it so guests are not alarmed.

We have a service that takes our trash cans to the curb on Wednesdays and returns them to the side yard after pickup on Thursdays.
