Rooftop Views, Downtown Gilbert
Dean thought of everything you’d need to stay at his Airbnb! It was pristine to begin with and a nice touch was the thoughtful gift basket he left for us! It’s in an excellent location to be able to walk to many restaurants and shops or just take a leisurely stroll. In the garage he has a container which has blow up floats and noodles for the pool which is located right out his front door. Not to close though that you hear the people that are enjoying the pool and the area it in. His theme was a farm house and it showed though out from the bedrooms and baths all way downstairs into the kitchen and living area. There is a beautiful area on his rooftop to sit and read a good book or take a Jacuzzi. Unfortunately, we were not able to enjoy this beautiful spot as we ran out of time, we could have used another day or two! There really is so much one can do staying in Gilbert! A short drive away you have a incredible outdoor Mall called San Tan Village and Old Town Scottsdale, a must see!

House w/ Resort-Like Backyard, Heated Pool & Spa!
Our family had a great experience staying at your home. House was perfect layout for us, was super clean, and the backyard was amazing. The perfect place to relax with no worries. Brian was very responsive to a couple questions we had.

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.

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 Oasis Hideout
We enjoyed our stay very much, peaceful, waking up with the birds, great location for our purpose and Aaron and Anita took the time and effort to provide a welcoming and comfortable Airbnb. Loved the pool, veranda and BBQ area too. Casita has a small kitchen with everything you need to cook. Aircon works great. All in all a hidden jewel and an easy 5-star experience.

Private Resort: Heated Pool/BBQ/Golf/ Game Room
The location was great and near everything we needed. Things I noticed was very clean place and fun backyard. The addition of pool toys was great. . Also I appreciated the extra lock for the pool.

Sanitized Spacious Desert Getaway
Heather is such a gracious host! I was in a wedding the day we were checking in. She allowed us to check in early, which helped in so many ways. We also ended up being walking distance from the venue which made that day so much easier (Superstition Manor). Her guesthouse has everything you could need and feels so private.

QC Central Private Suite Airport Close
The place was VERY clean. Instructions were in place for the TVs, lights, plumbing, kitchenette, everything. Hosts reached out several times during a two day stay offering any needed assistance.

Adorable private Casita in a quiet neighborhood!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stay – May 12–15, 2025 I had an excellent stay at Alyssa and Jarom’s casita while visiting my elderly mother in Gilbert. The space was spotless, quiet, and very comfortable—the bed was great, the shower had perfect pressure and temperature, and the WiFi was strong enough to support video meetings and work without a hitch. Alyssa and Jarom were gracious, responsive hosts. They made check-in easy, answered questions promptly, and were kind enough to offer help when I asked about drying clothes. It’s clear they care about their guests' comfort. The location was ideal—just ten minutes from my mom’s memory care home—and I truly appreciated having a peaceful and private place to recharge between visits. I’d absolutely stay here again in the future. Thanks again for a great experience! – John

Private-Detached Guesthouse & Zen Courtyard
I appreciated all the pictures to clarify the spaces and entrances. Staying here was wonderful and couldn’t have been more enjoyable!

THE 360. Guest house with a private rooftop deck.
Lovely place to take in the views of the surrounding area. The apt. is well appointed and comfy. Nearby are markets and plenty of restruants to choose from. A real gem of a place.

Quiet and Nicely Decorated MH in Golf Community
the place was just as described. The place was quite and quick drive to stores and restruant. Is exactly what we needed. A peaceful oasis.

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.
