Vacation rentals with pools in Mesa

DazeOff w/sparkling pool & amazing location!
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
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
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!

Oasis retreat.Private HEATED POOL* Mesa/Tempe/Phx
Great place to relax and hang out by the pool for a few days. Close location to a little mart if you need snacks or drinks. House always stayed nice & cool in the AZ heat.

Beautiful Golf Course Views!
Great, quiet location in a nice neighborhood. So nice to have the car out of the sun in the garage. Everything we needed, it was great!

Desert/Mountain Views+Amazing Sunsets+Hiking
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.

Family Oasis, *Htd Pool, Spa, Fire Pit, Games!
This place was amazing and had every single thing you could imagine! There was even food stocked and water/sodas in the fridge to get you started. The beds were super comfortable and the home was immaculate. I honestly can’t say one negative thing! We would absolutely stay here again! Matthew was Amazing to communicate with!

Enjoy Saguaro House Villa an oasis in the desert!
Seriously, if I could rate Lisa's place 10 stars, I would. Such a peaceful paradise, House is amazing, the playground for my daughter, the pool, and the view of the mountains. it is better than what we hoped for. As for the host, Lisa is absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to go back.

Private, Convenient Studio Apartment
Really enjoyed our stay! The place was just right for a short trip…super peaceful, very clean, and had everything we needed. Plenty of space for two people, and it was cute and thoughtfully put together. Perfect spot to relax and unwind. Would definitely stay again!✨

Stop! You’ve found the perfect 4 bed, 3 bath home!
The house was beautiful and spacious. All things needed for coffee anytime is right there in the kitchen. Our dog loved the backyard. Was great to have a double garage the Mesa, AZ heat, kept our car cooler for sure! Will check it out again if I'm in the area.

Guest suite in Queen Creek
Kyle’s place was exactly what we needed for our stay!

The GOAT rental. Near Scottsdale/Tempe and Phoenix
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.

Luxurious & Convenient Townhouse
Our AC went out so we had to find somewhere nearby and thankfully we stayed at Aracelys property! It was like home away from home!

Boutique Hotel Style Guest House
We were driving through Phoenix and this was absolutely the best we could have asked for. Phil and Peggy’s casita was exactly what we needed—clean, well-equipped, comfortable bed, and cute outdoor space for our pup. This was one of the highest-quality airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. Highly recommended

Lhonda's Hideaway
We loved our stay in Mesa. The apartment was well appointed, clean, and the beds were very comfortable. Our host was very responsive to questions and when there was an issue with the dryer, he had it resolved within hours. We would stay here again! One of our favorite places to date.

Cozy Casita Sleeps 4
Dixie’s home was the perfect spot for my weekend trip. This was the first time I’ve brought my dog with me to Arizona. The privacy of the yard and quiet neighborhood was exactly what we needed for a relaxing weekend. I felt right at home.
Home rentals in Mesa

Superstition Mountains, Pool
Our family had a fantastic time at Sandra's place. The house was perfect , clean and with plenty of space. It was a true home away from home. Highly recommend!!! Thank you for an unforgettable stay

Desert Getaway w/ Pool in Gorgeous Golf Community
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
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.

The pool house
Had everything you might need, very clean and organized. The pool is a big plus on hot days, very refreshing, highly recommend.

Mid-Century/Boho Mesa Home!
Great place everything was well organized and easeasy to find what was need and turning cooking or washing cloths. Anything you need they had available for use. Would 100 percent recommend for someone visiting!

Modern Lux | Htd Pool | Hot tub | Cinema & more!
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!*
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!!!

Retreat on Encanto St, Free heated pool
We had a wonderful stay! Debbie was so kind to accommodate our early check-in, which we really appreciated. The house was beautiful—spacious, clean, and comfortable—and the diving pool was a huge hit with the kids. Thank you, Debbie and Moe, for a great experience!

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.
