The house was perfect for our 2 families . It was nicely decorated and clean. It had everything that we needed. The outside area and pool was great to hang out in. The location was close to shops and restaurants and attractions. The communication from the hosts was proactive and outstanding. They fixed an issue with the bathroom promptly. Would definitely stay again .

Very nice place to stay in Mesa. Could use more towels and things like that, but all in all was a great place and we really enjoyed our stay at Melanie and Jason’s place!

Jason and Melanie’s place was the perfect spot for our week in Mesa. The house layout was awesome and the beds and linens were very comfortable and the kitchen was packed with all the essentials including beautiful dishes. The home decor was so creative and fun and the spacious backyard and pool were a great oasis from the heat! Melanie and Jason were very communicative and responsive- thoughtful hosts. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Mesa.

Melanie and Jason’s home was perfect for our family of 8! They had everything we needed for our stay. My favorite features of their home is the open floor plan, large dinning table, outdoor living space, and fully stocked coffee bar ! The area was close to plenty of stores and eateries. And they gave us a great suggestion for a family friendly hike to Hole-in-the-Rock. Stop looking and book their place now !
