Why Phoenix?
There are other cities in the great state of Arizona that are maybe more well known, offering supersized holes in the ground and magical red rocks, but Phoenix, our hometown, is special in its own way. Sports fans love us, eager to watch their favorite teams compete against the Phoenix Suns in basketball, the Arizona Cardinals in football, the Arizona Diamondbacks in baseball, and the Arizona Coyotes, our professional hockey team. The Phoenix Zoo is one of the nation’s largest non-profit zoos, providing home and sanctuary to over 3000 animals, and the Phoenix Botanical Gardens celebrate the rugged beauty of our natural landscape. Also offering more than 25 museums, our town provides a little something for everyone who flocks to our doorstep, ensuring a vacation filled with excitement.
Fun with Kids
We do love a family vacation but having enjoyed more than a few of them with our own families we also understand the stresses and tensions that accompany each getaway. It can be difficult to find activities that both adult and child can do and the finer restaurants are starting to limit the ages of children who can dine there, making us fear every outing. But we love children in our Southwestern town, and when you visit the Arizona Science Center to prove that learning can be fun, and when you spend a day at the Phoenix Zoo laughing at the monkeys, marveling over Raja and Joanne (the tigers), and maybe, during a winter vacation, exploring the shimmering beauty of Zoo Lights, your Arizona vacation will rise to the top of your best vacations ever with everyone in agreement!
Isn’t Every Home Family Friendly?
By its very definition, home is where the family is, but travelers know that not all homes are family friendly ones. Some may offer the feel of a museum, with shiny and breakable things striking fear into a parent’s heart, others may not provide the safety features that keep our littles healthy and well (Pools with no pool fences? No thank you!), and still others may not have the room needed to give everyone their own space, bringing back nightmares of family vacations of our younger days when families of five or more were crammed into one tiny hotel room. Our Paseo Homes Phoenix family friendly rentals are designed to welcome each guest who steps inside, providing a safe place to roam and play while also giving occupants spaces to call their own.
The Family That Plays Together
Normally, we would begin our tour of comfort with the public spaces of our Arizona vacation rental properties, but we know that the family that plays together is the happiest and we thought for today we would shake it up a bit and start with the entertainment areas of our homes. Not every home will feature every amenity listed, but many will. Game rooms furnished with game tables of varying types, pool, foosball, even shuffleboard is known to make an appearance. Cabinets and bookshelves may offer stacks of board games intended for the use of guests, and movies that will fill the hours of a rare rainy night. Outside, many of our homes such as our Phoenix villa rentals will offer pools, private pools in the larger homes, community pools in the smaller ones, and cornhole games are often provided for additional entertainment. State-of-the-art televisions may stream your favorite shows, theater rooms may offer leather recliners and super-sized screens, and yes, if there are books on those bookshelves or magazines on coffee tables, we invite you to spend some of your vacation minutes exploring the stories they tell.
Vacation Rentals in the Phoenix Area with Rooms That Are Built to Be Lived In
Now it is time to follow the paths of floors made of wood or tile, exploring the amenities found in the public spaces of our homes. Living rooms with soft sofas and late model televisions, dining rooms with large tables perched under hanging lamps serving as multipurpose spaces for eating and playing games, and our kitchens? We aren’t bragging, but we think we have seen more than a few professional chefs shed a tear over the luxurious appointments found within. Name brand appliances in stainless steel, stone countertops that include expanses of breakfast bars or center islands, and underneath it all, the cheerful vibe that reflects the beauty of the heart of the home. Everything family happens in these rooms and just as in your own home, guests gravitate to these spaces, seeking conversation, laughter, and a strong and hot cup of Joe.
Phoenix Nightlife
No, we aren’t talking about singing karaoke in Copper Blues, nor are we discussing the merits of The Duce, a nightclub housed in a 1920s warehouse offering backyard games, a boxing ring, and handmade cocktails that go down smooth and easy. (Although they both do exist and can add to the fun of your Phoenix vacation!) No, we are talking about the nights you spend sitting out on patios with the mountains standing guard in the background, listening to the sounds of coyotes off in the distance, the cheers of a crowd when the Dbacks make a home run, all with the moon casting its glow over the landscape. Shutting down the lights of your home sweet vacation home, locking all the doors, and retreating to the comforts of our luxurious bedrooms may be the highlight of your vacation, providing happy dreams every night of your stay.
More Than You Could Imagine
Even as we are nearing the end of our story, there will still be more to explore when you step inside our Phoenix vacation homes for the first time. The feeling of welcoming, the beauty of the décor, and the sight of the Arizona sun streaming in windows that go from floor to ceiling, are just some of the extras Paseo Homes provide. Our attention to detail will ensure that firewood will be stacked neatly near woodburning fireplaces, that there will be enough seats around the table for every seat in your traveling party, and that the grill resting on the patio in the backyard will feature a full propane tank, ready to be used to grill the thick and juicy steaks purchased at the Meat Market earlier in your stay, sending the scent of perfectly charred beef wafting through the neighborhood.
