Beautiful maintained home. Plenty of dishes for number of guests we had. There needs to be hooks in bathrooms and bedrooms to hang towels. There was a short in the kitchen and bathroom breaker (11 ladies knew out how to reset the breaker).

Perfect Stay

Great Stay

We stayed here for a Bachlor/Bachlorette party and our group loved the home. It was beautiful spacious and had everything we needed. We loved how close it was to entertainement and food. The host was amaizing and very communative with us the entire time. Check in was so easy. We would love to come back to stay in this beautiful home! 10 stars for me.

Good for a golf trip with your buddies

House is what I expected. Good for a golf trip with your buddies if you needing a place to sleep. A few of the beds were uncomfortable to sleep in but nonetheless the house was in a good location to the freeways and Scottsdale.

Vacation House #2

The last minute reservation at this property saved our vacation. Our original host cancelled 2 hours before our check in time. We were mid flight. This house was clean, the linens are hotel quality. Plenty of beds for our extended family of 11. Thank you!

Good Value

Good value relative to the location and accommodations. I stayed with 8 other guys. Plenty of rooms and beds. Starbucks and CVS nearby was great to be able to walk to. Actual neighborhood was ok. House was clean and in good condition. Need to fix a few cosmetic things. Overall was happy with it.

An OK Experience

While the 6 bedrooms were what we needed for our family group of 7 adults and 5 kids, overall this was just an OK house. It was clean but showed its age and the wear and tear of being a rental property. Kitchen was woefully under-equipped (for example: only 4 chairs for dining table in a house able to sleep 16). No bath mats and only one towel per person was provided. We were chastised for the noise my grandkids were making as they played in the pool at 7:30 pm. Not a good feeling.

This property was a disappointment based on the depictions presented. While the property was quite clean and comfortable, the rooms and the yard were MUCH smaller than depicted in the photos. Our group could have rented anywhere but chose this property due to the photos posted - We don't feel we received equitable value for the price paid. Also, the property was scant on cookware - specifically large bowls and pans. Our group decided to check out a day early due to the aforementioned. Finally, a note to the owner so it may be addressed - there were termite tunnels visible in 2 of the bedrooms on the front side of the house.

Location is Inaccurate

While this property worked for our group of 9 for the new years holiday weekend we noticed a lot of things that should be mentioned. First off, our check in time was at 4pm, however the cleaners were still there and we could not enter the property until after 4:30. Upon entering, the place was mostly clean aside from the floors, which were quite disgusting and didn’t seem like they had been vacuumed or mopped. There were also wet sheets that had been put on one of the beds and the dishwasher had just been turned on before we could enter. Later that evening, as we prepared to go out, we looked up walking directions (the listing says you can WALK TO OLD TOWN as the first part of the description), however we realized it was a 40 minute walk to any of the main attractions. The actual location does not seem to match the map location shown in the posting. This was incredibly frustrating since we booked this place assuming we could forgo Uber/Lyfts or driving and just walk from place to place. There were no cleaning products left for us so we had to purchase our own trash bags, paper towels and Clorox wipes. And after new years, we wanted to sweep/vacuum the confetti from the poppers, however there was no vacuum or broom to be found. Lastly, there was black mold found in one of the bathrooms. The pros are this place has plenty of beds for a larger group, though had we had more than 9 it probably would have felt too crammed. The backyard area and pool were nice and we did enjoy a bbq out there one of the evenings.

Great House, Lots of Room

We had a wonderful time at the house. We are a group of senior cyclists on a tour in AZ. The 6 bedrooms allowed us to spread out and have some private space. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. Just a couple blocks from Scottsdale Stadium. But unfortunately the games were canceled. The central location in Scottsdale was nice for our many outings. Everything was clean and comfortable. The only negative was that the kitchen lacked some essentials like pots, cutting boards and towels. There we no food basics like salt, oil, spices like in many VRBO's so make sure to take your own prep items.
