Beautiful home with amazing accommodations.

We had a wonderful stay in this desert retreat. The house was amazing and had all high quality furniture and luxurious details throughout. The sleeping accommodations were extremely comfortable and was very quiet. The view was beautiful and the pool was very clean and peaceful with the waterfall flowing each day. We would highly recommend staying here- we plan to again soon.

We just returned home after spending 6 weeks in this lovely Scottsdale home. From beginning the booking process to finishing our stay James always responded quickly to any questions. His home is well equipped, has comfortable seating and beds, and has beautiful views of the mountains and desert wash from the patio. The pool and spa, which heated up quickly on request, were enjoyed daily. We look forward to returning to this special place.

Great for families, pool/spa heat costs extra

This property checked all my boxes: very clean, updated, beautiful heated pool/spa and outdoor space, and as a bonus for anyone with little kids - had a full size crib available for use. After the pool, the crib sold me on this listing since we were traveling with a 2 year old. This is a 5 star property, however I do want to give it 4.5 stars as the extra cost for the pool/spa ($50 per day for both, $20 for just the spa) was not shown anywhere in the listing but buried in the rental agreement. I do wish this had been more transparent in the listing. Regardless, we were happy that pool had the ability to be heated as it was needed for our kids and we did take advantage of that feature. There were also quiet hours as this was in a residential area; it was listed as 9pm in the documents at the house. Not too big of a deal for us but worth noting. We would definitely stay again.

4/10 Poor

Barbara P.

4 of 5 for home and facilities, 0 of 5 for feeling uncomfortable during the stay.

THE MAJOR DISSATISFACTION ISSUE was a last minute request by owner for us to 'hide in the house and garage' due to issues with neighbors and City Bylaw Officer. Most concerning was that we were asked to misrepresent the rental arrangement to the local officials if they came to the house. This made me and my guests very uncomfortable during the stay, wondering when a knock on the door would come. We wondered if our occupancy was legal and if we may be ejected or subject to legal action. This prevented the enjoyment of our vacation and stay at the home. For this reason we will never rent a property through VRBO or a foreign owner again. Too bad, it could have been a nice stay but we all felt uncomfortable and misled.

Property was even better in person than the pictures showed. Exceeded our expectations.

The only reason we rated two items as a 4 was because we were given the wrong code for checking in. We tried contacting the owner but received his VM. However James called us back within 20 minutes and gave us a different code. He apologized for the late response. All other correspondence was very fast. The house was amazing along with the back yard and pool. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent this again given the option.

Spotless spacious rental / attentive owner

We enjoyed our stay and would return. The large space suited our group of 8 adults well, with lots of room to spread out. The house and pool were sparkling clean. The back yard was lovely and private. Beds were comfortable and AC worked well throughout the large space. Instructions for TV/Netflix, etc. were thorough and the owner was available if we needed anything. We enjoyed close proximity to Eagle Mountain and Sunridge Canyon golf clubs, 6-8 minutes away. Overall a great experience.

Great property!

We really enjoyed the property! We loved the pool, hot tub, proximity to hiking, views, etc. The property was well stocked with basic needs and kitchen supplies. James the owner was very responsive! I do recommend reading the fine print on the hot tub and pool ahead of time. Heating the pool and hot tub is extra (which I understand), but I didn’t realize that James needs to handle the heating schedule remotely and the schedule is “semi-fixed”, so advanced planning is helpful. I didn’t read the fine print ahead of time, so we had to work out the details while we were onsite. James was very responsive and it ended up working out great. The heated pool and hot tub were fabulous. I would stay here again.

WOW!

My husband and I brought our three grown children and three younger children to Arizona and stayed in this home. It was absolutely wonderful! We had a ton of room and the backyard was absolutely Paradise- beautiful! The house and backyard are super clean and extremely well-maintained. Photos just don’t do this home justice. The neighborhood is quiet and the yard is very private with a wonderful view of the mountains and cacti and the sunsets are gorgeous. The owner is very quick to respond to any questions and the entire process was super simple. It’s so wonderful when a place exceeds your expectations! There were a couple of days that yard maintenance/pool maintenance men showed up unexpectedly and we were caught off guard a bit so it would be nice if there was a notice about the maintenance schedule posted somewhere in the house or in the information that is given about your stay just to give renters a heads up and there were a few small items that we didn’t have in the home (like wash rags - we had to buy our own- and some kind of casserole dish or 13x9 cake pan to bake in and maybe a hand mixer) but overall we absolutely loved staying in this home and we hope to do it again one day!

Beautiful Home with Incredible Pool

We had a wonderful time at this property! It was very clean, well stocked, and communication with the owner was very quick and easy. The location of the property was great, although we had so much fun at the house that we rarely left. My children spent the majority of the day in the pool from early mornings into the evening. We did pay to have the pool heated, at the suggestion of the owner, and it made our time even more enjoyable. I highly recommend staying here!
