Cool place. Just me and my son. I wish there would have been propane for the grill. Mistakes happen though. Would stay again. I thought I booked an extra day. Luckily I hadn’t left for a baseball game. House cleaner knocked and notified me that we needed to be gone. We gathered our stuff up and we’re gone in 5 minutes.

Overall a very nice property for families with children. It has a great backyard with plenty of toys for kids. I liked the separate fence around the pool with latch on top where little fingers can’t reach. The property backs up to a busy road , but there is a concrete fence around the property so we felt safe. It was a little loud, but if you have children that is a good thing as the street noise drowns out the kids noise and the music from the neighbors and the college across the street. I would have rated this 5 stars, but some simple things are run down and really should be addressed. The floor molding around kitchen counter pops up and has tacks sticking out of strip. ( not good for toddler, we just put the strips up) . More concerning is the material under the molding, pellets of insulation (perhaps?) that the 2 year old called popcorn and wanted to eat. Also the closing spout in the bathroom doesn’t work. I was able to wrap washcloth around and the water stayed in the bathtub long enough for a toddler bath. The master bathroom is beautiful and works well. A few simple fixes and easily a 5 for families. If I travel to Phoenix again with young ones I would definitely stay here again.

The property was great for the little ones to play outside. Everything was nice and clean, nice linens, and the kitchen dishes, utensils, etc. was extremely well stocked for preparing meals. The one thing I would have changed is due to our family's preference for sleeping in darkness. The wooden shades do not block-out the sunlight well. Solid shades or adding curtains to the bedrooms would make the property perfect in my eyes.

Beautiful homey house with a truly "lived in" feel throughout. We were on a weekend trip to a foodie adventure at Scottsdale Quarter and some lite hiking at Piestewa Peak and Camelback mountain. The house is in a cul-de-sac in a safe neighborhood with a two car large garage and plenty of parking space in the driveway for two mid sized vehicles. This was great for a post hike trip. We were able to drive in directly to the garage and unload our gear then walk directly in to the house. The home is perfect for families on the go. The space sleeps 7 very comfortably and has tons of amenities to keep kids busy. From a ginormous bean bag to sink into while watching movies, to tons of outdoor fun activities in the large backyard. Our soccer star could not get enough of practicing his goal kicks, while our little mermaid soaked in some rays near the gated pool.
The house itself is clean and beautifully decorated with tons of great features throughout. There's a coffee bar to delight any parent in the early mornings and a large space to seat your family during mealtime. The foosball/pool table in the family area was great to keep the kids entertained while the parents prepared for the day's outing. The grand kitchen is a chef's dream. The bedrooms each had a spacious area to sleep in with plenty of clean sheets. The bathrooms were tidy with nice water pressure for those long post hike showers. The backyard had several outdoor spaces to accommodate every person's preference. You could barbeque, relax, swim, play, or just smell the roses.
The location was perfect! Close enough for those luxurious foodie taste tests experiences at Scottsdale Quarter restaurants but far enough away from the lights, traffic and noise that go along with any large popular venue.
We are a "no shoes in the home family", so we try to keep carpets clean from any outdoor dirt. This carpet does have a "lived in" look, but it was clean and we appreciated not having to stress about keeping up appearances with a pristine carpet. It made our stay there much more relaxed and worry free.
The host can be easily reached and responds in an adequate time frame.
We hope to be able to stay here again upon our next Phoenix adventure!

An open floor plan with a great backyard and pool. Rooms were great to stay in and everything was cleaned upon arrival and easy to clean up upon checkout. The only nit-picky thing is it’s on a main road so you can hear all the traffic if the doors and windows are open. I would stay here again!

The property was in very good condition. The place looked just as pictured. We had a great stay and will stay again!

The property representative was so helpful with checking in. The house was spotless, smelled fresh, and the beds were very comfortable. There were plenty of towels, and the kitchen is stocked with all the appliances and utensils necessary to cook and eat in. We stayed for five nights, it’s central location was perfect for all of the things we wanted to do, and has easy access to family spread all over Phoenix. It has a fenced back yard, and the adjacent pool is fenced so the little kids can play safely. We will definitely stay here again. We compared pricing with the Embassy Suites, and this is the best value by far.

Upon our arrival the pool pump and vacuum had not been working for a while. The pool was disgusting with debris everywhere. After contacting the person in the email I was told to contact there was no response so I contacted the guest contact in the welcome book. They arranged for maintenance to come the next morning between 9-11 am. Maintenance never showed I had to contact them again and was told 20-30 minutes. Maintenance ended up being 45 minutes late. I was told by the guest contact that there was a storm the night before I checked in that likely knocked out the pool pump and vacuum. I could accept that IF they made an attempt to make this right. As a rental company maintenance or the caretaker should have verified that the pool was in working order prior to our check in if there was a storm that bad the night before our 7 night stay. I asked them to make this situation right considering they failed to make sure the pool was in working order and maintenance being late to the window I was provided. I asked for a discount for the day I was unable to use a pool that was the selling point behind the property. Which was declined. It’s unfortunate that a rental company cannot make sure their property is in working order prior to a guest check in and then fails to make the situation right when their maintenance fails to show up on time to fix the issue.
The rest of our stay was uneventful and fine. The house was exactly as it was listed. Beds were comfortable. The play area for children was nice as well as the game table inside. Having toiletries available was nice. Pool was a bit deep for younger children but was nice once it was usable. Bring pool toys as the “shed with toys” consists of dirty goggles, 1 float for a small child, and 1 noodle.
Bottom line due to the lack of care by EVOLVE, guest contact, and maintenance by not taking the time to make sure the property was in good working condition prior to check in we will NOT be staying at another EVOLE property and would book a different property should we return to Phoenix in the future.

Amazing
This house was perfect for our needs. Everything was just as advertised with the space and everything was clean. My kids loved the pool and the pool toys as well as the game table. The giant beanbag was great and the beds were comfy. The kitchen was well stocked with basic items which made cooking easy. The pool being fenced in separately was a great feature for young kids. All in all a great place to stay.

From the staff at the Evolve help center when I called prior to stay, to the guest contact prior/during/after stay; overall amazing prompt customer service. The home is so amazing my family wanted to move in! Large home amazing space inside and outside. Really hope this home is available as we have to come back again next month, and I know hands down my family will want to be here again!
Thank you for the amazing stay, help, and home!

It’s a great place for families with so many more amenities than other VRBOs such as shampoos, trash bags, pool towels, paper towel, bandaids etc. The astroturf backyard was really nice for kids to play on as well as the pool and shed full of random pool toys. We chose not to heat pool but it was refreshing with the nice 80 degree temps! The backyard wall backs up to a busy road which we didn’t mind since the traffic muffled the kids screams and squeals in the quiet neighborhood. The beds were comfortable and the reason we choose this location was the bed selections. With our sons in the bunk room and daughter in other room. The place was overall clean. Our biggest complaint is the toxic artificial room freshener we could smell upon our arrival. After these smelly Instant headache makers were located as plug in freshener units and moved to the garage and opening windows the smell disappeared. Also the master bedroom carpet had quite a few stains and needs to be stretched to eliminate quite a few wrinkles. But with a few up keep projects and maintenance this would be a 5 star in our estimation.

This was a great house for our family. We each had our own rooms & the kitchen was stocked with everything (minus food, obviously). Quiet neighborhood near community college. Central location to hit all of the spring training games and to get to airport.

The house was nice. I rented it because of the pool, but the weather ended up being too cold. I think we missed it by a week. The carpet and couch appeared dirty. When we called the property manager, we did not get al call back. We were allowed into the house at noon, instead of 3:00.

We had a great time staying at this home. Our kiddos enjoyed the big backyard and we enjoyed the safety the gated pool provided for our youngest. The love sac in the living room was also a pleasant surprise! So comfy!
Two things that would have made our stay a little better was having propane available for the gas grill. When Daisy, our guest contact, responded that they didn't provide it we were bummed. It would have been fine if that would have been noted on the house listing but it wasn't so we made plans to grill. We bought food to grill with on the first night we arrived before we knew about the lack of propane and instead had to use the stove to cook everything. All was good until we had to turn on the exhaust fan over the stove and it began making a loud banging sound lol. We had to turn it off right away and open windows instead.
Other than those two things we had an amazing stay at this beautiful home and appreciated how clean everything was. We will definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family visiting Phoenix!

My husband, toddler, and I were looking for a house with a pool and warm weather for a couple weeks, and this property suited our needs perfectly. The yard is WONDERFUL for a young child - ours loved the cars, play garage, swings, and slide, and the yard is well-maintained. It was really nice spending time there.
We loved the pool and that it is gated, and spent several hours out there most days. My parents joined us for the latter half of the stay, and we were all very comfortable staying in the house. We took day trips to the Grand Canyon and Saguaro National Park, and while neither is close, it’s definitely doable. The kitchen was great, we played lots of foosball, and the Lovesac was a comfortable surprise! We grilled, did laundry, caught up on some shows with the smart TVs, and it had pretty much anything else we needed.
I’d say the only thing this house needs is some blackout curtains, because the sun starts rising around 5:00 am and two of the three bedrooms have windows that face directly East.
We loved our stay, and my toddler has already asked to go back several times. Would highly recommend, especially for a family with kids.

We can to visit family in Phoenix for a weekend. House was very clean and well equipped. Pool was too cold to enjoy. Wished there was more of a shallow area for kids. Only problem was air filter was totally caked with dirt which was falling through the grate. Luckily there was a replacement in the garage and it was easy to replace. Would certainly consider staying there again in the future
