We really enjoyed our stay and there was ample room for our family of 5. The home was very clean and kitchen had everything we needed! Being from the Midwest, our family especially enjoyed access to the heated spa and pool while watching football on the outdoor TV. We heated the pool and spa only during the day and in the early evening, and although it may have been difficult to anticipate the propane requirements ahead of time, communication with Maria was very easy and she was able to arrange a propane delivery within hours to keep the water warm and the kiddos happy. The outdoor furniture was cozy too. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful Spring Break Trip

We rented this fantastic house for our spring break for a family of four with younger kids. I rated this a 5 star based on several factors including the house being in fantastic shape and very well stocked. The pool area feels like its brand new and has the latest electronics to make for great pool days with the family. We had a few hiccups on using the control pad but the owner was super responsive and helpful in ensuring it worked as we needed it. The location is ideal if you want a short walk into Old Town Scottsdale and the neighborhood is super quiet and safe. I would highly recommend this as a family vacation spot.
