Amazing property!

We loved our stay in Scottsdale. This home is exactly as pictured, which is perfect. It is clean and there was plenty of room for our family of four. The backyard is amazing and we spent a lot of afternoons by the pool. The owner was wonderful and went out of her way to make sure we were happy and comfortable. She even brought groceries in for me! We would love to stay here again. I cannot recommend enough.

Spring Break Vaca

Enjoyed our stay. House was perfect for our needs. Under 30 minutes to all our planned activities (spring training baseball, Chase field, Mesa arts center). Plenty of room, outdoor space was great with pool and Bags. Wanted to use the outdoor pizza oven but were too busy with all our other activities. Communication and working with Christine was easy. Highly reccomend.

Don't Hesitate to Rent This House

I'm picky, fussy, and hard to please. All of the details in the online photos looked just right, so I took a chance and rented the house. I am so glad I did. The house is just as represented: spotless, well equipped, nicely furnished, with very comfy beds and nice linens. Everything is new. It's located in a lovely and convenient neighborhood. The hosts are attentive and cared about our comfort. This house is a gem in a sea of mediocre rentals.

Wonderful Time

Our VRBO hosts were grand. All communications were timely and very helpful. The home is lovely. Situated in a residential neighborhood with access to anything/everything in 20 minutes or less. We were in Scottsdale for golf and Mexican food. Our hosts were able to guide us in course selections and their favorite restaurants. A wonderful time of year to be in Arizona. We enjoyed all the amenities our hosts offered in their home. Family or friends, this is a wonderful place to stay. We look forward to returning and greatly appreciate our hosts hospitality. Thank you. Cheers

Arizona Spring Break

We usually stay at resorts but wanted to have more space this trip. This home was perfect. Our host was top notch, so helpful with tips for our families' needs on fitness, golf, spa etc. The home is well stocked with everything and furnishings were excellent. Lots of extra touches like treats and beverages upon arrival, toiletries and paper products to get us started and a guide book with area info. This was the perfect trip for our family of 5 and we would definitely return to this beautiful property. The description and pictures are 100% accurate! Great trip, thank you to our hostess!

Great Stay for Va'cay & Golf

Couldn't have asked for a better experience! One of our top rentals ever, and we've been VRBO'ing for many years!!! Christie is AMAZING and ENGAGED! Property was spotless and well appointed. Great value...and nice quite neighborhood. Great space to lounge and relax indoors and out. 3 couples felt like we all had the space needed throughout the house and backyard. Even made homemade pizza in the outdoor pizza oven...it works, and it's GREAT, if you just get the directions for her! ANYTHING that came up from figuring out modern TV amenities :) to basic household functions...she was quick to reply! We recommend for anyone wanting to stay in the area and feel like a home away from home. This home is centrally located to anything you might need or want to do. We will absolutely stay again! Thanks Christie for the perfectionism! We all appreciated it!

Wonderful Vacation - Highly Recommended

This property exceeded all expectations. The location was near great shopping, high end restaurants, and leisure activities that we were enjoyed. The house, yard, and amenaties were exactly as advertised. There were no surprises. The house was spotlessly clean and clearly recently renovated. Our family has rented homes all over the US and this host was by far the best host we’ve ever interacted with. They went above and beyond with complimentary snacks and beverages including a welcoming gift of a bottle of wine. The service was concierge level. Our questions were immediately answered and they were more than willing to help with anything we needed. We would definitely stay at this property in the future.!

We walked to kierland ( about 2 mile walk) to shop we were only a 15 minutes drive from great hiking (Pinnacle Peak, Tom’s Thumb, and Lost Dog wash). Great responses from owners. Thanks

About the host

Hosted by Christie Holland

Host profile image
We love to travel and explore and do so any chance we get, but after an active day out and about, especially with children, coming "home" to a hotel room - with its cramped quarters and lack of privacy - got old pretty quickly. Then in 2020 as the covid pandemic hit, hotel stays took on a whole other set of challenges. With vacation rentals popping up all over the place, it became possible to have all the comforts of a home away from home, no matter what corner of the world we wanted to explore, and with that we were hooked!

Because we have chosen to make the desert our home, at least for part of the year - we think it's an amazing place to live life and raise a family - we decided to invest in our own vacation rental and offer fellow explorers the opportunity to experience all the comforts of home while exploring the beauty of the 48th State!

For anyone interested - we do have another vacation rental in Durango, CO on 17-private acres with unparalleled views of the San Juan mountain range. You'll find it right here on vrbo: Property 2018541. Check it out!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home to be vacation rental. When renovating we challenged ourselves to provide what we felt a guest would need and enjoy, but avoiding surplus clutter so as to leave the space feeling open and airy - a place to relax and feel at home.

Indoors we created larger gathering spaces for meals, TV viewing or board game playing, as well as smaller, more intimate spaces such as the seating area in the primary bedroom by the fireplace or downstairs in the bar / sitting area, for privacy and quiet time. We knew there was a chance that in our Zoom-era that a guest might need to check in with work and attend on-line meetings, so we made sure there was a designated office space far enough removed from the main living areas to ensure adequate privacy, as well as high speed internet access. We also considered the guest who after a full day of activity might like to come home and enjoy a relaxing soak in the oversized free standing bath tub!

With so much to do in and around Scottsdale, we figured there would be days when hitting the snooze button and staying home to recharge would be the order of the day, so we made sure to think about what that might look like. The kitchen is fully equipped for all your cooking and baking needs. There is high speed internet access, more than ample for streaming shows on one of the three ROKU TVs. There is a wide selection of board games and puzzles available for some old-fashioned fun. Outdoors we imagined BBQ'ing or trying your hand at pizza-making in the wood fired pizza oven, swimming, basketball, golf or a game of corn hole as fun backyard activities, or simply chilling in the hammock under the clear blue desert sky!

All in all, we tried to recreate what we would like to have as a family exploring a new place, without compromising the comforts of home. From property location, layout, furnishings, amenities, cleanliness, to availability if you need to reach us, we tried to cover all the bases. Hopefully you'll agree!

What makes this property unique

We chose this particular home as a vacation rental because in addition to all the benefits of being located in a quiet residential neighborhood (safety being paramount), it lies smack dab in the middle of everything that is anything. Getting around is made easy because of the home's proximity to main streets and freeways. So whether your plan is to stay local and explore the myriad of activities that Scottsdale and Phoenix are famous for, all only minutes away in any direction; to head north and explore Arizona's wine country (Cornville and Cottonwood), Sedona's stunning Red Rocks, the cooler temperature of Flagstaff's high country, or perhaps take a Hot Air Balloon ride, or head south towards Tucson and visit the Biosphere 2, Kartchner Caverns, or Tombstone, it's all easily possible.

So, whether you stay at home and strike your own balance between indoor and outdoor desert living, or venture further afield, you'll be amazed at how easy and how accessible everything is from this home and this neighborhood.
