DazeOff w/sparkling pool & amazing location!

JohnRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Dana & Anthony's place is a little piece of Paradise right in Mesa. It was quiet and comfortable, pool was spotless, the outdoor space at night is perfect with the lighting, and it was incredibly close to everything we needed. WiFi was fast, and they responded quickly to my inquiries. I couldn't have asked for a better stay and better hosts!

Indoor golf simulator, pool, jacuzzi, EV charger

AshleyRating, 5 starstoday
Charles’ place was a dream, we got plenty use of his mini golf, golf simulator as well as his lovely pool. Cozy place and he was a very responsive host when we had issues with connecting the simulator. Sometimes I need a home away from home when visiting my family and this place was perfect in every way. Will definitely book again and recommend his place.

Free Heated pool, Golf and Game Room Retreat

HeidiRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
A beautiful home! We were in town for a wedding, there was a total of 6 adults in our group. It was easy to access from Sky Harbor, as well as our venue. The house perfectly accommodated six adults. The pool was amazing and we used it a lot. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone staying in the Mesa area, looking for a peaceful. relaxing getaway. Our host was very quick to respond to our questions and was very helpful. Don't pass this up!

Desert/Mountain Views+Amazing Sunsets+Hiking

BlakeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Hayley’s place was perfect for what we were looking for! The views of the mountains are amazing and the private feeling, while still being less than 10 minutes from stores and restaurants, was ideal. The house was clean, check in and out where both super simple, and the pool/hot tube/fireplace were all well maintained. Would absolutely book here again in the future.

The GOAT rental. Near Scottsdale/Tempe and Phoenix

KristiRating, 5 stars1 month ago
A lovely stay. Comfortable, clean and everything we needed for a perfect, convenient home base. We indeed felt right at home. It was close in proximity, easy access to nearly everything touristy we wanted to do. Much was just 15, no more than 30 minutes away. Our hosts attention to detail shined: through their communication, accommodations/supplies on hand and tasteful decor. They kindly welcomed us to pick a variety of citrus from the trees in their yard, delicious! And it was a treat to pet the sweet goats, too. Something we don’t get to do everyday. Thank you, Alvin and Jessica for the nice stay, you are great hosts.

Desert Getaway w/ Pool in Gorgeous Golf Community

MatthiasRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is hands down the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The house is absolutely beautiful. It genuinely feels like you’ve been handed the keys to a stylishly decorated home owned by a local family - not like one of those overly commercialized rentals. Every piece of furniture and decor has been chosen with care and fits together perfectly. The kitchen is super well equipped, and everything in the house is either brand new or in top condition. And like I said - everything is spotless. Radek was always available and super flexible when we asked to extend our stay by a day. Truly outstanding service. I’ve had many great experiences with Airbnb, but this one really tops them all. I’d love to come back anytime. One last thing: the photos in the listing are nice, but the place looks even more stylish in person. The pictures just don’t capture the amazing vibe of this home. I’m not one to usually rave like this, but this house absolutely earned it.

NEW Luxe Desert Escape/Game Room & Resort Backyard

JudyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The backyard was so peaceful, laying next to the pool, listening to the birds, watching the clouds, it was so relaxing. At night we could fall asleep under thee stars . Just that alone is worth the stay. But inside, there’s was a game area, foosball, darts, card games. The kitchen was beautiful and spacious. The bedrooms were perfect for our family’s needs. The pool area had great seating and lounge, to sunbathe. If I had any questions I could message Shannon and within 10 minutes I had a response. I would absolutely recommend this rental.

Would definitely book again! Every year we meet up with two other families for a friend get together. This year we were lucky enough to get Amanda’s home. It matches the description in all of the ways. Amanda was extremely kind, responsive and helpful. The amenities were beyond perfect for us traveling with kiddos. The home was very well organized and accommodating. It had everything we needed and then some! Thank you Amanda for helping us have a wonderful stay!

Central Tempe Home*3bed 2bath*Patio & Tiki Bar!*

StacyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Amazing, amazing stay at the Tempe Jewel. We were in town for a whole week hosting different family members for ASU graduation. Every need we had was anticipated by the hosts, this house is completely stocked with conveniences. We spent every morning on the patio by the pool with our coffee and fire going if it was a little cool. We took grad pictures by the pool and beautiful bougainvillea. The beds were so comfy, the sofas comfortable for several people, plenty of indoor and outdoor gathering space, 10 minutes from the airport, campus and anything else. This is one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had. Thank you!!!

Your guide to Mesa

All About Mesa

Saguaro cactus reaching to the sky, expanses of terracotta-tiled roofs, and the constant presence of the arid, imposing Superstition Mountains characterize this south-central Arizona city. While Mesa may technically be a suburb of Phoenix, it certainly doesn’t take a back seat. As Arizona’s third-largest municipality, Mesa has more than its fair share of cultural offerings, recreational activities, and entertainment options. Mesa is home to stylish cafes, a thriving nightlife, and talented chefs exploring the intersection of Mexican, indiginous Southwest, and European cuisines. The Mesa Arts Center is the largest art park in the Southwest, with over 200 sculptures, theaters, and galleries.

The city’s proximity to the Sonoran Desert and accompanying nature reserves provide plenty of opportunities to explore the area’s world-renowned red rock formations. Hiking and mountain biking are popular activities here, with easy access to hundreds of miles of trail systems snaking through the deserts. For a reprieve from the heat, you can always head onto the Salt River or one of several nearby lakes, joining the other paddle boarders, kayakers, and swimmers cooling off in the water.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Mesa

Mesa boasts over 300 days of annual sunshine, with accompanying desert conditions, but the temperature does shift from season to season: from sunny and warm during the winter to scorching (and sunny) in the summer. Because of the extreme heat, winter and the shoulder seasons may be the ideal times to look for vacation rentals in Mesa — especially if you’re planning on hiking and mountain biking. Regardless of the time of year, it is important to be prepared for the heat and sun when visiting Mesa. Be sure you always have access to cool clothing, sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water when you’re outdoors (many locals also keep water in the car in case of emergencies).


Top things to do in Mesa

Lost Dutchman Museum

Set on a 15-acre plot of land at the foot of Superstition Mountain, this museum highlights the history and folklore of southern Arizona. Geological displays will help you look at the ancient rock formations in a new light, and an exhibition on the region’s Native American roots traces the history of human habitation here back more than 12,000 years. Adjacent to the museum are the remnants of the Apacheland Movie Ranch; during its heyday, the facades of storefronts and streets you’ll wander around were used to film several now-famous Westerns.

Arizona Museum of Natural History

Arizona’s arid climate conditions have preserved the area’s geological, anthropological, and ecological history extraordinarily well. The Arizona Museum of Natural History showcases the wide-ranging varieties of fossils archeologists have found in this region, including those belonging to dinosaurs and long-extinct North American megafauna.

Usery Mountain Regional Park

Half an hour outside town, this nearly 4,000-acre nature park lies at the mouth of the Sonoran Desert. Hiking, biking, and horse riding trails lead you through terrain as varied as rugged mountaintops and vast stands of saguaros. If you’re up for a late-night drive, park’s desert air also provides some of the most pristine stargazing opportunities in the country.
