Papago Paradise near heart of Scottsdale and Tempe!

Enjoy a stylish experience in the centrally located place! Walking distance to Papago park, wake up and run along the water! Less than 1 mile from Starbucks. Very close to both the downtown Tempe and old Scottsdale areas. If you’re in town for college football, Tempe Sundevil stadium is just 2 miles away. With our location close to the airport getting around is extremely easy!

Great stay

My family came into town for college visit. It was convenient to ASU’s campus and also very close to activities at Papago Park. The property was well-appointed and gave us plenty of space to spread out and decompress. Highly recommended!

Terrific Family Meet-Up!!

This four bedroom two bath home was perfect for meeting extended family for Thanksgiving. We made a full turkey dinner in the beautifully appointed kitchen and spent each night in the back courtyard area reminiscing around the fire pit. Our host was super responsive and made everything so easy! Loved, loved, loved our stay!

Stayed here over Thanksgiving week. Owner was prompt with communication and responded quickly to the small issues that arose. Home was very clean and quiet, considering its location at a busy intersection. Neighborhood was safe and friendly. We would absolutely stay here again.
