Perfect getaway!

The property is wonderful! A great location with loads nearby (Starbucks/stores only 3 min drive away!) Easy check-in and the AC was a life saver in the heat! Very well equipped, the floor outside got hot during the day but that’s notSomething that the host can control! Just remember to wear flip flops!

Men's Golf Weekend in Arizona

We were extremely pleased with the accommodations at this property. The house was excellent and accurately described on VRBO. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed hanging out in the backyard in the evenings after a round of golf! I would highly recommend this home for others!

Relaxing Accomplished

We had planned to golf and go out to eat but ended up cooking at the house most of the time because they literally had everything we needed. I’m a cook and there wasn’t anything I needed that we didn’t have so we ended up staying home and relaxing and hanging out by the pool way more than expected and now we can head home totally refreshed.

Great little place

The house was exactly as pictured. The pool was small but worked for the 6 of us. The pool cleaners came on the second to last day and cleaned or maintained the pool but left the vacuum and hose in it clear until we checked out. It was kind of a pain trying to swim with a big hose in the small pool. But overall it was great house and a great place to stay with plenty of entertainment and things to do. We enjoyed the outside tv while hanging out outside

Family friendly place

This place was perfect for our family. We went for a graduation at ASU and this place is only 15min max from all the graduation venues. Super nice and quiet neighborhood so we were able to enjoy the early mornings at the pool. Also close to grocery stores like Costco (we order delivery super quick) sprouts and more. We grilled, enjoyed the pool and my girls (9&7) had a blast with all the other games at the house. My husband really enjoyed the pool table and I had enough time to relax and watch tv while my family was happy and entertained. I will highly recommend this option and we will be back soon!

About the host

Hosted by Chris & Michele

Host profile image
After visiting Scottsdale for Spring training a few years ago we fell in love with everything else the area has to offer (Along with the Spring Training). We love Old Town Scottsdale with its restaurant and art scene along with all the other activities the area has to offer. Michele is an art lover if you cannot tell from the house decor.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a property close to everything and this is it! The property is centrally located and a quick Uber ride to Old Town.

What makes this property unique

The backyard of the home is our favorite place to relax, play games or just sit and watch sports on the outdoor TV. We do have problems falling asleep in the floating chaise lounge chairs.
