Indoor & Outdoor Fun! Upscale Peoria Home

Reviews

• A Beautiful Home with Real Potential, But a Few Rough Edges

  3/5

  As a frequent traveler with experience across many short-term rental properties, I can say this Peoria home has genuine appeal — but also some notable areas that need attention. Here is a full breakdown to help future guests know exactly what to expect.

  THE GOOD

  • Open, bright layout — The floor plan is spacious and filled with natural light, giving the home an inviting, airy feel from the moment you walk in

  • Upscale design and decor — Thoughtfully decorated with a modern, high-end aesthetic

  • Private bathroom per bedroom — A major plus for families and groups

  • Ample parking — Plenty of space for multiple vehicles

  • Great backyard — Well-sized outdoor space perfect for Arizona evenings, gatherings, or letting kids run around

  • New appliances throughout — Kitchen and home appliances are modern and fully functional

  • Unbeatable convenience — Grocery store, gas station, and everyday essentials are just minutes away

  THE BAD

  • Busy intersection noise — The home sits on a corner at a heavily trafficked intersection; loud vehicles pass at all hours of the day and night

  • Front window won’t close properly — One of the front-facing windows has a mechanical issue preventing it from fully sealing, which amplifies road noise and lets in dust

  • Dusty floors — Walked around in socks and they turned brown quickly

  • Primary shower grout needs deep cleaning — The grout showed visible buildup and discoloration

  • Stained bath towels — Towels had been washed but carried stains that laundering did not remove

  • Limited hot water — Two people showering using the dual shower heads depleted hot water in about 10 minutes, completely cold by 15 — an issue for families or larger groups

  • No TV in the primary bedroom — Every other room had a television except the primary suite, which felt like a surprising and unexplained omission

  The home was clean and in a good general area with shopping, restaurants, cactus league ballfields, golfing and hiking all a short distance away. The specific location was on busy cross streets that were somewhat noisy but were more of a nuisance than a major aggravation once we got used to it.

• Gorgeous home!

  4/5

  Upon our arrival there was an issue getting into home but finally resolved. This is a beautiful home with spacious and comfortable rooms. Plenty of room for a family or just girls vacation! It's true it is located on a busy corner but the noise didn't bother us too much. Great area with many good restaurants and shopping nearby so convenient! Would stay here again but sure wish there was a tv in the master to chill out!

• Beautiful Home but Unfortunately Disappointed with Overall Presentation & Cleanliness

  3/5

  Although we wanted to love this place after seeing the pictures and booking, it was a bit of a disappointment. I’m not sure if the hosts are local or if they live away and have a cleaning company, but I would recommend they check on the cleanliness of the house. I know it’s Arizona and we should expect bugs, but the house had “just been cleaned and was ready for us,” yet there was dirt, crumbs, dead spiders and dead bugs around the house. The padded frame around the bed was dirty, with very visible debris, hairs, and dead bugs in each button hole. The guest bedroom had hairs on the bedding. Before leaving we asked if toiletries were available. We were told they had shampoo and conditioner, we just needed to take body wash. Upon arriving, the master bath had an empty shampoo bottle and a razor cap that had been left there from what I assume was a previous guest. The toilet paper was a 1 ply, very thin, which you wouldn’t find in cheaper hotels. There were signs in the restrooms to not flush toilet paper, which I’ve only heard of when we visited bad plumbing areas in another country. I am not sure if my expectations of an Airbnb are too high, but my previous experiences have been so good, and have exceeded my expectations, that this one was just a disappointment. There was a Keurig coffee maker (which still had an old used kcup in there) that my wife didn’t use because there wasn’t anything for the coffee, but a few packets of Splenda.

  Previous Airbnbs provided the ingredients for a good cup of coffee.

  They also list the grill in the backyard as a feature that can be used, but I received a text letting me know the propane tank might be empty and I could fill it up at the gas station. Also, know that if you want to use the washer and dryer you need to take your own detergent, fabric softener, etc. to be able to wash.

  Like I said, I’m not sure if all the other Airbnbs have just had amazing attention to detail and so many extras that are out of the norm, but this one lacked attention to detail. The TVs weren’t connected to any streaming services and were locked to where we couldn’t log in to our own streaming channels. The master bedroom didn’t have a TV either, which would be a nice plus. The master bath shower head had zero pressure and after a few seconds began to spray water from the side and threw a screw and bolt on the floor. It is an amazingly beautiful home with a beautiful backyard, but lacked so many details for a comfortable stay.
