Tempe Glowing

Made up of two side-by-side apartments, this is a great option for families or groups who want their own space while still having plenty of room to come together. Each has a kitchen and living area, though we suspect most of your time will be spent by the shared pool – especially on those Arizona afternoons when a cool dip is hard to resist. There's also a putting green, an alfresco games terrace, and a business lounge if work calls. When it's time to head out, Papago Park's red-rock buttes, watersports on the lake and the restaurants of Mill Avenue are all within easy reach – close enough to make spontaneous plans tempting.

Home truths:
* Your host operates several homes here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
* This home consists of two side-by-side apartments. Though not connected, they are adjacent to one another, with each featuring its own living space, bedrooms and bathrooms.
* At full capacity, four guests will sleep on two sofa beds – one in each living area.
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool, fitness centre, clubhouse, business lounge, and more here. They're shared with the building's other residents. Pool access depends on the season and weather.
* Free parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis, but spaces fill up quickly.
* Only one towel is provided per person here, so you might want to bring your own for longer stays.
* Once your booking is confirmed, your host will send you details on how to pay the security deposit.
* The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
