We loved our stay at this Scottsdale property! We would absolutely come back again! The house was exactly as described. The backyard was massive and we loved it! We were looking for a great place to spend a weekend celebrating a special birthday! The beds were comfy, plenty of room to spread out, great kitchen with a good amount of cooking needs. Backyard was our absolute favorite, great pool, loungers, fantastic fire pit, used the bbq (it was very clean). The yard was perfect for daytime fun and a great place to relax in the evening. Property management was very responsive with any questions.

Not what i expected

We arrived at 3 PM for 4 PM check in and the house hadn’t been cleaned yet. Cleaners arrived and stayed less than an hour so I didn’t feel great about the cleanliness.Master bedroom shower only had cold water, maintenance came and replaced shower head but it still never got warm. He came very quickly though and was very kind.Washed would not do delicate cycles- it would become unbalanced and stop. Only normal cycles worked.Finishes of home were not what I expected. Expected much better quality for that price point. Backyard was nice but pool was dirty.

The Perfect Spot!

Here’s your refined review: The Perfect Celebration Spot! This house was everything we were looking for to celebrate my little girl’s 10th birthday. The space was perfect for our group, with plenty of room to spread out and relax. The backyard was stunning, offering lots of activities and space for the kids to run around, but the heated pool quickly became their favorite spot—especially with Arizona’s unpredictable October weather! The home was equipped with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to cozy furnishings, making it feel like our home away from home. The AC worked wonderfully, keeping us cool and comfortable even with a full house. We can’t wait to book this place again for future celebrations!

Great Place Great Location

Chose this listing for the great designed backyard, location to Old Town Scottsdale, and how much room the home provided. Since this for a friends Bachelor party I needed somewhere that would entertain us guys and be close to nightlife. I would rank this listing very high on my list and would definitely book again. Great for large parties whether you have kids or not. Very clean and provides everything you need.
