Cold Plunge, Sauna, Pool @ the Cactus Cool Down!

Summary:
Chill Out in Luxury, nestled in the heart of Arizona’s vibrant landscape, this meticulously crafted 5-bedroom home seamlessly blends upscale comfort and southwestern charm to create a truly unforgettable vacation experience.

The Space:
The private backyard will become your own personal oasis, loaded with luxurious amenities to make the most of your days in the ample Arizona sun. Spend hours reclining by the sparkling inground pool, reading a good book and taking breaks to cool off when needed. Work up a sweat on the sports court whether you fancy a game of basketball, pickleball, or challenging yourself on the 50x25 putting green, afterward mustering up the courage to take a dip in the cold plunge. When you’re ready for a break from the sun, the spacious shaded patio is just the spot with comfortable outdoor seating, a mounted TV, and dining table with seating for 8 to enjoy your lunch al fresco. A fully equipped grilling area will have you whipping up delicious barbeque masterpieces while keeping you engaged in the activities and conversation. When the night grows cooler, create warmth and ambiance via the outdoor fireplace and enjoy a cozy evening cocktail under the stars.

Heading indoors, make your way through elegant, curved entryways to the living room to relax on the plush L-shaped sofa, surfing the channels or hosting an immersive movie night complete with all the trimmings. A dedicated workspace will keep you caught up on emails and allow for concentration during important calls. Steps away, the kitchen is a chef’s dream, showcasing professional stainless steel appliances, glossy stone counters, and rich wood cabinetry stocked with all the cookware and dining ware you need to prepare convenient homecooked meals. Small appliances include Keurig cup & Carafe unit, blender, hand mixer, microwave, toaster. and electric kettle. The built-in dining table with bench seating can accommodate 12 for formal meals and casual bites alike. The bar area sets an idyllic scene for after dinner drinks, complete with leather armchair seating and a smart TV. For the gamers among you, choose from the digital variety by firing up the Xbox, or break out the board games for hours of friendly competition. Brew yourself a fresh cup of espresso in the morning and head back out to the patio to sip your cup surrounded by the tranquility of nature awakening around you.

Great house!

Lots of open space inside to hang out and same with the outside. Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, overall clean house with a good location. The pictures match the experience and I’d stay there again.

Golf Trip with Friends

High end stay. Everything we needed was included and the place was fantastic. The golf got in the way of us truly taking advantage of the space. We will stay here again.

A Communication & layout

Owner was very easy to work with! Communicated very well. Check in process very easy. Layout was perfect. A lot of upgrades. Only small thing needs upgraded are the floors on the east said of the house make a noise when you walk. Also that first bathroom on the east side hot water only worked for about 2 min & then it went cold. No other issues with any of the other showers though.Great stay!

A great place for larger groups with good amenities but some quirks

My true rating would be 4.5 stars, just for the record.This house is spacious. From the moment you step into the house, you're greeted by a large dining table attached to the kitchen island. Probably can easily seat 10 people on just 3 sides alone. Our 2 families (8 people in total) sat down for one meal and passing stuff over to each other required some effort. The rest of the kitchen was nicely decked out... modern furnishing (Thermador nearly everything). Not a fan of the convection stove top as it required some getting used to (gas ranges more my speed). Also, one annoyance was the kitchen faucet - we weren't told that it was a touch faucet, so after many rounds of trying to turn it on conventionally, we reached out to the management folks and then eventually got word that all we had to do was touch it. Also, during our stay, it required the battery to be replaced so for nearly a day, we couldn't wash/rinse stuff in the kitchen sink. Plenty of kitchen/plate/glass/stem ware...tons of shelves. Another thing that would have been nice is the # of switches throughout the house could be labelled, just to help cut down on the insanity of trying to turn a light/fan on/off. Last gripe is that the pool is not heated..I get it. In the dead of Scottsdale summer when it's 115 degrees outside, I'm sure the pool water is automatically warm, but for winter guests, it's like a ice plunge bath (which they did have). Overall, very comfortable stay.

PERFECT FOR FAMILIES

Our stay was great! The backyard is AWESOME! Large pool, basketball court and pickleball court kept the kids busy and outside all weekend! They put their cell phones away, can you believe it?!? It’s a short drive to Scottsdale quarter. Neighborhood is a little older but nice. My kids said we need to come back for staycations over the summer. The property manager was great. They even dropped off golf clubs for us to use during our stay.
