In the heart of Phoenix's south mountains, this contemporary desert home offers a tranquil retreat. Unwind by the fireplace, entertain on the spacious patio with poolside seating for 8 and outdoor gas grill, or enjoy gourmet meals in your fully-stocked kitchen with granite counters.
Whether you're planning a month-long stay or a desert escape, this contemporary three-bedroom home offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Nestled in a quiet setting, yet just 15 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor, Downtown Phoenix, and Downtown Tempe, you’re close to everything — without sacrificing tranquility.
Wake each morning to the calm stillness unique to the Sonoran Desert. Prepare coffee in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen, then step onto the spacious patio and relax beside the pool as the sunrise casts warm hues of red and gold across the surrounding mountains. It’s an effortless way to begin the day — and even easier to feel at home.
Longer stays are welcomed with preferred monthly rates, making this an exceptional value for extended guests. Inside this newly built home nestled at the foot of Phoenix’s south mountains, you’ll find three ample bedrooms, a den with fold out couch, and two and a half baths, including a master suite with a king-sized bed, walk-in shower, double sinks, and a luxurious oval soaking tub with a view. Your kids/housemates can claim the other two bedrooms, located in the opposite wing of the house: Each comes furnished with a queen-sized bed and a jack-and-jill bath with dual sinks and a combination tub/shower--the best of both worlds!
Relaxation Under the Stars After work and on weekends, the home is the perfect place to unwind or entertain: curl up by the fireplace for movie night on the large-screen TV, or head for the private patio with a mug of hot cocoa for stargazing (bring a blanket if you want).
With off-street parking for three cars, an outdoor gas grill and patio seating for 8, the place is pool-party-ready. Or treat your friends to a gourmet feast in the spacious indoor dining room: the fully-stocked kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances makes it easy to channel your inner Barefoot Contessa.
Guests who find they just don’t want to leave can stay on the comfy queen-sized fold-out couch, and you can rest easy knowing the home’s security system is keeping watch 24/7. With wi-fi, cable, washer/dryer, ironing equipment, and everything else you need, the only thing that’s missing is you.

We loved our stay at this very clean, spacious, mountain view home! It was well stocked and easy communicating with the host. Perfect location for hiking the South Mountain, golf, and plenty of Pheonix area entertainment. Our favorite was time spent relaxing in the heated pool. We highly recommend it and hope to be back!
Overall the property is beautiful and very well maintained. Location is perfect and not far from local attractions. Property management is very responsive and very easy to communicate with!
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is lovely, it is well stocked and the pool/landscape is beautiful. The views of the mountain were exceptional. We had a great time and the VRBO was a big part of that.
This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property. We love the area! There are great restaurants and lots of hiking options around. We’ll be back again!
Beautiful house, sparling pool, mountain view! Quiet, lovely, absolutely everything you need is provided! So enjoyable we really didnt need to leave for anything but groceries or dinner out! Best, restful vacation ever!
We loved everything about the house. Plenty of room, an incredible master bedroom and bathroom, beautiful full kitchen, great pool, amazing host. We stayed there for over a week, and had zero complaints. While we don’t miss the Phoenix heat, we do miss this house. If we’re ever in the area, we’ll definitely be staying again.
This was our second year staying at this home for a family vacation. The house, pool and view are spectacular! Very clean and well stocked. We had 8 family members staying there and the home accommodations were more than sufficient! Great communication with the owner Errol.
It’s our third rental of this property. It just feels like home away from home. Everything was A+. This is a well stocked home, located in a quiet serene neighborhood. Restaurants, stores and malls are nearby. The owners are welcoming, which counts for a lot.
Don’t hesitate to stay at this super clean, bright, spacious and welcoming home for family time. The finishes inside are truly high-end and the backyard pool and landscaping, with views of the mountain, are beyond inviting. The home owners checked in to make sure we were all comfortable. They truly care about their home and guests. We’ll be back!
My family and I just got back from a week stay at this Amazing home! The views are spectacular and the pool was very relaxing. The home is spacious and lovely. It was stocked w/ Everything. coffee, filters, spices, olive oil, toilet tissue, paper towels, kitchen soaps. I mean Everything. We will definitely be back; thank you to the host who were Fabulous!
This is our second stay at Desert Rose. It is just perfect in every sense. Spotlessly clean, in a beautiful area of Phoenix where we felt completely safe & secure.
We just love this property, it is immaculately maintained & stocked with everything you need.
It backs onto a wash from the South Mountains so we saw all sorts of wildlife including quail with babies this time, they are so adorable & funny running around all over the place!
The pool was lovely & clean & a perfect respite from the heat.
Lastly, Sara is the perfect property manager & nothing is too much trouble.
We can’t wait to return 😊
This is our fourth day at this lovely property. It is the standard by which we hauled all other VRBO rentals too. we love the base of south mountain location for hiking and mountain biking, also convenient to the rest of Phoenix. The home is immaculately maintained inside and out, and well stocked with everything o e needs for a fantastic vacation. The host are unobtrusive and very responsive if anything is needed. We love the pool and the view out the backyard, lots of quail and bunnies to be seen. Already planning our next trip back!
My wife and I had taken a month of as it had been a busy year for me. It could not have been a better place to stay and felt like home from the moment we arrived. The house is wonderfully set up in all ways and the back yard has both the views and the shade in the afternoon to let you enjoy them. Errol and his family were wonderful and even a couple of little hiccups were dealt with easily and without any hassle. It is very quiet which is what we wanted and you can just chill as much as you want but the amenities are all near. Would recommend it highly to anyone and would return without a thought.
Another amazing stay at this beautiful house. This is the third time we’ve stayed here & it absolutely the best property we’ve ever rented.Spotlessly clean, perfectly appointed, quiet & in a lovely safe area.Abundant wildlife, you’d never know you are on the edge of a huge city.Thank you Errol & Sara for your support & hospitality & for sharing your beautiful home with us.Until next time
We really enjoyed out time here! The property is immaculate, with every little detail covered so it felt like home. It was great to have a full kitchen, inviting pool, and trails nearby. Perfect for families!
Outstanding communication with owner / management. I felt that they were committed to making our visit memorable. And it was! Proximity to hiking was important to us & we enjoyed it immensely. House was very clean and well stocked. Would recommend to others.
This was our second stay at this lovely home. The owners are so welcoming, I love it that they check on you during the stay. My grandson loves the pool and the open space indoors to play with his VR. The home is filled with all that you need for your stay. The location is close to 2 expressways and a mall, what more could you ask for. Looking forward to next year’s visit.!!!
The home is beautiful and has everything you need for your stay. The views are just as described and even better in person. Restaurants, grocery stores & shopping are within a 5-15 minute drive. Having the pool was such a nice edition to our stay. Communication was great with the host. If we ever get the chance to be back in Phoenix this is the place we will stay!! You will not regret booking this home!
