About this property

Spectacular Views! Heated Pool. Game Room. Private. Spacious.

Welcome to "Desert Breeze

Escape to sunshine & serenity in this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home nestled in the picturesque hills of Fountain Hills, AZ. This property isn’t just another vacation rental—it’s a gateway to tranquility and adventure.

Captivating Views & Outdoor Bliss

Be greeted by breathtaking mountain views the moment you walk through the door. Choose your favorite relaxation spot from several outdoor areas designed for peace and privacy - with an amazing view from everywhere. Every hour, witness the iconic Fountain Hills fountain as it soars against the mountain backdrop—a spectacular sight from the front patio.

Luxurious Comforts Inside and Out

Indulge in the beauty of sweeping mountain vistas from every angle. Whether you're basking by the heated pool or unwinding on the covered back porch, you’ll find the perfect spot to soak in Arizona’s famous sunsets or listen to midnight coyote calls.

Inside, your home-away-from-home features a spacious, open-concept floor plan with soothing transitional decor that combines style and comfort. The fully equipped kitchen allows you to cook and interact with family effortlessly, surrounded by high-quality, super-comfortable furnishings. And no need to stock up on grocery staples such as foils, wraps, spices, detergents, etc. You'll find them and much more in the well-stocked kitchen.

Entertainment and Relaxation

Open any of the many double-glass doors to blend indoor luxury with outdoor beauty. Enjoy a BBQ with the Blackstone griddle or the gas grill on the breezeway, cozy up by the fire pit for evening chats, or stargaze in one of the top dark sky communities in the U.S. A $25M dark sky observatory opening in 2025 promises even more spectacular starry nights.

Explore Fountain Hills and Beyond

Located just 1 mile from downtown Fountain Hills and within 25 minutes of Old Town Scottsdale, upscale shopping at Kierland Park Mall, and vibrant nearby towns, Desert Breeze serves as your perfect base for exploration. Golfers, adventurers, and families alike will find endless activities from golfing to hiking in Tonto National Forest. Salt River tubing is 15 mins up the road - opens April 26th!

Personalized Hosting Experience

Many guests have returned for second and third visits, enjoying the meticulously maintained, tranquil sanctuary I pride myself on. I offer direct communication, personalized local tips, and a commitment to making your stay PERFECT.

Perfect Vacation Getaway

The property was perfect. Matt is an incredible host and went the extra mile to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We were anxious to get away from frigid temps and were looking forward to relaxing in the sun and swimming. The heated pool was perfect, landscape is beautiful and the mountain/desert views are exceptional. We can't wait to come back!

Girls Trip!

This was our second time coming to Desert Breeze and it was a great experience. The host is super communicative and worked with us on some unexpected rebooking needs that was much appreciated. The house is beautiful, big and meets all the needs you could possibly have. The pool area is perfect for simply being about to be outside and enjoy the surroundings. The location of the property is great as well and we were easily able to access activities (hikes, spa, shopping, river) easily from its central location. Highly recommend this property for a visit!
