Trip Advisor review from Steve:
"I caught myself referring to it as home within 3-4 days!"
Anasazi is a nice gated complex in beautiful part of Phoenix (just down the road from Paradise Valley Mall). Paradise Valley is a very nice part of Phoenix and borders Scottsdale. 5 different and all beautiful pool areas on the property.
Units (I extended my stay and got to experience both units) were very clean, well thought out, and had decor that gave it a real home type feel. You are very well provided for as even the laundry area contained detergent. Didn't need to worry about a thing other than my own consumables (food/beverages).
I believe both units overlooked a golf course with mountains providing a very serene backdrop....exactly what I was looking for. At June pricing it was an amazing value. When I requested to extend my stay, the owner (Laura) who had been very accomodating.....bent over backwards to make things work so that I could start and end my stay at her properties. Not to mention that she is a celebrity *chuckle* as she was interviewed by Ed Helms on one of my favorite TV shows...The Daily Show on Comedy Central !! Sorry Laura....had to expose you on that one :)
I would not even look for another location to stay next time I am headed to Phoenix. I honestly believe I would be wasting my time trying to find a property with the serenity and beauty.....at the price point I incurred. Wonderful....thanks so much Laura, and hope to see you again soon at Anasazi !! Steve S.

Hi Laura
Thanks I've just got the deposit cheque and your lovely note Thanks again for all your kindness and we were delighted to meet you Kind regards Eileen and Stan

Hi Laura
Thanks for everything with regards to our holiday back in the land of cold wet weather. suffered a bit of jet lag only recovering now. We really enjoyed ourselves, the condo is in a great location and we couldnt have wished for more. Hotels are so over rated there is nothing nicer than having a bit of space when on a holiday and hotel rooms are ok for a few days.
Hope you found everything in order. Best Wishes Eileen and Stan

It has been great and have enjoyed ourselves thanks to your wonderful condo and hospitality. Thanks again! Loyd & May Beth

Thanks for your comments, and yes, we are home, though we wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for your hospitality! Gary

Laura-
Thank you so much for letting us have your condo. It was perfect in every way. It is only 2 miles from Nancy and Prescott's house. The location could not have been better and the amenities in the condo were great. We had everything we needed. You think of everything! The view from the patio was wonderful and we really enjoyed sitting outside in the morning and evening. You were so thoughtful to bring us the bouquet. It provided a nice touch and it lasted almost our entire stay. We hope to be back in the early to mid summer. Thanks again. Libby and John

Hi Laura,
just wanted to let you know I received your deposit refund check and again you were very prompt with all your dealings of your rental unit. We really
enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend your condo to anyone

Hi Laura,
Received your check yesterday with security deposit refund. How sweet of you to send us the "bonus" for Dale's handy man services! He did not mind at all and glad to be of help. Had a wonderful month in Phoenix and surely do miss your glorious weather. It has been so cold, windy, snowy here. Our intentions were to stay in Michigan next winter and then travel to Europe for a month end of April but hopefully will be back in AZ for several months winter of 2009. Take care, Sue

We enjoyed our month's vacation at your Anasazi Condo-#229. The view overlooking the 9th tee on Stone Creek Golf Course was entertaining, especially in the morning w/ a cup of coffee. Dick had our Grandson, Matthew, over hitting golf balls on the driving range. Time went very quickly......a second month's stay would have been nice! Our daughter, Terri, mentioned the 106 temps in Scottsdale yesterday while we were freezing in 45-47 degree chilly, but sunny, weather along Lake Michigan. Thank You for sharing your P.V. condo.....felt like home with all necessities at our fingertips! Marilyn & Dick

Hi Laura, I hope everything was left in good order. The state fair, Sedona, the Grand Canyon and so much more to see in your lovely area of the world. We will be back soon, as we bought a house in the Queen Creek area. Your photography was a beautiful touch to the Condo. You are very talented and have a great eye for the ordinary. Have a wonderful life and keep capturing the beauty around you. APRIL

Hi Laura,
Thank you for your hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay in your condo and will probably do it again next year. Jim

Laura,
My wife Michelle and I had a fabulous time last week at your condo. We really enjoyed sitting on patio and taking in the view, I played some golf and met some new friends at StoneCreek. We visited several restaurants as well.
-----------------------------
Hi,
Everything is great. We are so pleased with the condo and having a great time. Just got back from a Grand Canyon trip yesterday. Had great weather up there. One final day to relax and do a whole lot of nothing before we fly back to Illinois. Thanks for your efforts to make our stay pleasant. Jane

Thanks again – we really had great weather and relaxed at the pool. Hope your trip has been fun for you…..Regards,
Chris

Hi Laura
We did not take my phone with me or a computer with us either when we left as we wanted to get completely away from work with no way of contacting or getting contacted. In hind sight we will bring a lap top with us next time. The reason is we could look quite a lot of stuff on the net. And also we could of have let you know that we left on Friday morning as we wanted to see the Grand Canyons (stayed in Flagstaff) and not have to spend 8-10 hours of driving on Saturday to get to Vegas, and you could have had the place cleaned up for your next guest. We just loved your condo as it felt like we were at home. No need to rush around and get stuff done. I will recommend your place to people that we talk to and are interested in coming down there. Again thanks for a great place to stay. Thanks Larry

Hi Laura,
Just a quick note to thank you for your wonderful condo! We have had a great month here in Phoenix. The condo and facilities were great! The location of the condo could not be better.
We have decided to leave tomorrow morning instead of Sunday as we want to spend an extra day in Vegas on our drive back. So thanks again for the use of the condo and we will gladly look it up again if we decided to come back to Phoenix in the future.
Regards,
Kristy and Will
Hi Laura,
We had a wonderful time. Loved your Condo, the views, the decor, the layout, and the pools - it just felt like home. We usually went to the pool in the late afternoon when there were not many people there.
We'll be leaving tomorrow late morning and I'll check the instructions for what to do and make sure everything is done right.
Thank you so much for your kindness and for being so willing to help with anything. This has been a great experience.
Diana and Steve
This review was titled: Does Laura Rock? (love it)
You bet she does!! We have used VRBO 10-12 times. The owner Laura is by far the best owner We have worked with and We have worked with really good owners. No other owner has cared about her customers the way Laura does. One of Phoenix best kept secrets is that Laura has 2 units at Anasazi. This unit was already booked but she mentioned she had another. It is on the ground floor on the 9th fairway of Stonecreek golf course, a good track for you golfers and reasonably priced also. It is located in the rear of the complex and is very quiet and with in a short walk to most anything you would want or need.This unit is fantastic. Everything you need. clean and very neat.2 large TV's, Wireless, The Kitchen is one of the best equipped we have seen. Laura takes a lot of pride in her rentals. If something is not right Laura makes it right. You will love the patio in the morning for coffee or the afternoon with you favorite beverage. Consider this property you won't go wrong.
Dear Laura,
And on the list of things you didn't mention:
mani-pedi place across the street
book store across the street
stores open until midnight, even on sunday
Fry's takes 2 hours to see all the good things
neighbours really quiet and friendly
weather just perfect
TV in the bedroom (makes going to sleep at 9 lovely cause the tv shuts off automatically)
I may not leave this neighbourhood all week long...Thanks, lori
Hi Laura,
Yes, we did have a lovely visit and your condo was great! Everything worked and we had no problems with the keys etc. No complaints. We will keep you in our contact list for future use and pass the message to friends as well. Carol P.S. It was a pleasure working with you!

Laura,
We are enjoying our time here immensely and time seems to be flying by. We are already talking about out return trip next year. Thanks again for everything. We love Anasazi and your condo.
Mike and Jane

Hi Laura
We have had a great week here at your condo. We hope to be back in the near future. We will recommend you to our friends. Thank you

hello laura,
i just thought i would let you know we had a great time. we went to the grand canyon ,botannical gardens, the zoo and to a dbacks game(what a beautiful stadium). your place is very nice, we appreciate you letting us stay here. we would definitely come back we would just fly next time. thank you very much,
mark and valerie
Laura,
We will be out of unit 229 no later than 9:00 am on Monday, February 28. We have had a wonderful time and plan to return next year. Actually we think we wold like to stay both February and March. Is that an option? In regards to the Culture Pass...the library has passes to several of the local attractions including The Heard Museum, Phoenix Zoo and the Botanical Gardens that allow up to 4 people free admission. You are allowed to use only one pass per week and they are limited to how many are available. In order to get a pass you have to register for a library card but this is simple and quick. Janet now has a Phoenix Library card :-) All you need is a local address and they allow visitors/tourists to use their accommodation's address. There is a library on Paradise Village Parkway behind the mall. (Dillards) It is definitely worth the time and effort. Thank you for everything and Janet and I both love Phoenix. I understand that all we have to do to check out is leave the keys and gate pass on the kitchen counter. We will lock the bottom lock when we leave. Sincerely, Mike and Janet
Hi Laura
What a lovely place it is, we enjoyed just having some time off
and a real vacation! The golf course walk area we used often, the pool
once but a delightful location, close to one sister and with the freeway
system close to everyone. Thanks again we will recommend if we know
of anyone going to Arizona/Phoenix. Beatrice

HI Laura,
Yes, we arrived home safely after 2 days of 12 hour driving. We saw lots of snowbirds flying (driving) home. We certainly enjoyed staying in your condo. You did everything to make our visit pleasant. Your unit is very well equipped and the Anasazi facilities are excellent. The food at Guiseppi's was yummy, with enough for leftovers. Bye for now, Heather & Larry

Hi Laura,
Hi Laura.
Thanks again for providing such a comfortable space and for being such a great hostess. We hope to be able to do it again. We had a good trip back to Alberta – no major storms or bad road conditions, thank goodness. It is above freezing here today and the sun is shining so spring can’t be that far away. Take care. Cheers, Cris and Nick
