This Arizona Airbnb Is Like Stepping Onto the Set of an Austin Powers Movie

I don’t know about you, but I love things that are themed. They’re like an escape into a fantasy world unlike my own. Whether it’s an 80s disco, a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air event, or a superhero vacation rental — count me in. If you’re like me and always searching for unique experiences, pull out your bell-bottoms, dust off your platform boots, gas up your Volkswagen van, and get ready for a groovy time. Can you guess what I have in mind? Well, I found a 70s-themed Airbnb in Arizona that’s a blast from the past. With its hippie vibes, psychedelic colors, and shag carpets, the Groovy Getaway in Phoenix reminds me of the set of an Austin Powers movie. “Yeah, baby,” staying at this groovy house will be a funkadelic time!

Have you ever walked into a place and instantly felt good vibes? That’s exactly what you’ll experience as soon as you step inside the Groovy Getaway, a quirky Airbnb in Phoenix. This unique 70s-themed rental is hidden inside a quiet neighborhood close to Phoenix Airport and downtown. This means you’ll have easy access to all the attractions in the area.   

Both cozy and funky, the house is decorated with fun in mind. From the vibrant wallpaper to the comfy, colorful furniture to the paisley prints, there is something groovy around every corner. Even Austin Powers would approve of the retro, hippie vibes here. I suggest you have your cell phone handy to snap pictures for your Instagram. After all, how often will you get to step back in time to the 70s?   

If you have a Bachelorette night planned or are searching for a spot for a family getaway, this four-bedroom cozy bungalow is perfect for you. There are eight beds here, including one king, three queens, and four single beds, so that guests will have enough room for up to 12 people. I adore that each room is decorated with psychedelic patterns. The cheery digs will undoubtedly brighten your mood when you wake up in the mornings. 

Want your own space away from your large group? You’ll be happy to know that one of the queen beds is tucked away inside a detached private suite with its own bathroom. So, if you’re like me and need some quiet time, this spot would be ideal. 

The open floor plan gives guests the chance to socialize from multiple spaces. In the retro-style kitchen, cooking breakfast or making drinks, you can easily chat with your family in the living room or dining room. The best part? You can continue the fun outside in the spacious backyard. Here, you’ll find a furnished covered patio, a private pool with adorable floats, chaise lounges, and more room to spread out.   

If I’m honest, you don’t need to leave this throwback pad, but if you want to explore Phoenix, Papago Park will be a unique adventure, and it’s just minutes away. It has a zoo, a botanical garden, and the famous rock formation, Hole in the Rock, all in one spot. And when you get hungry, grab a big juicy burger from the beach-themed joint, Rehab Burger Therapy in nearby Scottsdale. After your fun day, head back to your quirky Airbnb and relax with drinks in the backyard. 

The only problem is you might not want to leave the Groovy Getaway. Even Austin Powers would rate this 70s-themed Airbnb in Arizona as “Smashing, baby!” Visit the Groovy Getaway Airbnb listing to see more pics and to start planning your trip to Phoenix, Arizona.
