Would highly recommend

The house is exactly as pictured and offered so much space and things to do for our group of nine (with five teenagers). Arlene was terrific to work with and super responsive. I highly recommend having Lex, the Greek chef, make a meal. It was delicious and a highlight of the trip!

All was as advertised. The host was promptly responsive to questions. All of us were very pleased both with the house and the grounds. Our ages ranged from 17-76, and there was something for everyone. We would not hesitate to go back another time.

This was the perfect place for our siblings and their spouses to spend some quality time with one another. The grounds are BEAUTIFUL and the kitchen was well furnished.

It was awesome. There was 10 of us and at no point did we feel like we didn't have enough room. There was a lot to do here with outside games, a very nice pool and tones of options to relax outside and enjoy the sun. Location was good and only about a 15 to 20 minute Uber ride to any of the events we went to. Overall a great experience and well worth the money.

Great location, great home with lots of room and a backyard you could spend all day outside!

This was a good house for our group of friends. Accuracy of listing was spot on. Price and location was hard to beat. Highly recommended.

Wonderful

Arlene's place was absolutely perfect for our trip to Scottsdale. The house was wonderfully charming and incredibly welcoming. We were a group of 10 adults and the house was the perfect accommodation for our us. The bedrooms were all spacious, the beds were comfortable, and with three full-sized bathrooms, we never felt like we were on top of each other. I would say that our favorite place was the back yard. Coming from Wisconsin in February, the hot tub was an absolute dream, and where we spent most of our time while at the house. The pool was beautiful, and the number of lounging areas outside were ideal for soaking up as much sun as possible. The pickle ball court was also utilized for a little tournament action from our competitive group. We had a blast a never felt like we needed to leave the house to be entertained. And the orange trees!!! All i can say is wow! We loved everything about this house. The highlight of our trip was when Alexandros the greek chef came and cooked for us. The food itself was otherworldly and has left me craving his Spetsifie and bakalava since. I HIGHLY recommend adding this service to your trip every time. The food was better than any restaurant that we could have gone to, and to listen to Alex talk about how he cooks his dishes left us all craving more. Communication with Arlene was a breeze. She was kind, accommodating and quick to respond with any questions we had, or give suggestions. If/when we come back to Scottsdale, we will most definitely be reaching out to Arlene to stay at one of her properties, it was seriously one of the best experiences I've had at a VRBO property.

This house is amazing. The location, the property, the amenities and a chef!!! I can’t say enough good things about this house. It has everything you need. I also highly recommend the chef. The sausage plater was the best I ever had. The owners were very responsive and great to work with. I will definitely be back!!

This house is perfect for an active family or large group gathering with so many outdoor options of things to do to keep guests of all ages entertained.

This was a great property! It came fully stocked with any cookware you could possibly need (we cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner for 11). The pool, hot tub and all the athletic equipment made for a complete experience. It was very close to Old Scottsdale and to mountain hiking! We hired the chef for two nights and even our pickiest eater came back for seconds. He was great!! The hosts were very quick to reply when we had questions or problems. We would definitely stay here again!

Our family had a wonderful time in this house and backyard. The back patio is phenomenal with a pool perfect for kids, hot tub, basketball, lawn and lots of other games. There is also a huge outdoor table and many areas for sitting in the shade and sun. The kitchen and main space are great for a big group, as well. The beds are all have very soft mattresses, but there are plenty of linens, pillows, towels, etc. Plenty of space for a big group. The kitchen is also very well stocked. We appreciated the board games and outdoor games (pool noodles, balls, rackets and birdies, etc). A couple blocks away is a very nice playground and park. We hiked the Lost Dog trailhead as a whole group and some of us also went to some of the other hikes in phoenix (piestewa and camelback). Very easy to reach the owner for little issues that came up. I highly recommend this house. thanks!

This VRBO was great! Booked it for a bachelorette party and it was the perfect spot. Everyone was comfortable in their own rooms/beds and there was plenty of spots to all hang out with an open living area/kitchen. The host was always quick to respond to any questions and was super helpful. We also got the in house chef and he was great and the food was delicious.

Very comfortable and relaxing home in great area for food. House and backyard has an amazing Mediterranean beach vibe. Great place to stay!

Arlene's home far exceeded our expectations! Our host was quick to respond to our questions and had an easy check-in process. This beautiful home is exactly as pictured, meticulously clean, and well appointed which helped to make our vacation memorable. We felt very welcome and lucky to have found such a great place to stay and know we'll be back!

This property could not have been more appropriate for our trip! The library was spectacular, the available music, the pool was perfect and it was not a coincidence we landed at this property. The host was communicative and very sweet and considerate. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

We brought a bachelor party group of 10 and we could not be more satisfied. Particularly during this pandemic. Perfect distance from golf courses, all the necessary amenities, and a few extra touches that make this a great renting experience. Particularly, the small disco room with a massive album selection and the option for the private chef. The food was amazing and a more than reasonable cost. We would do this over 100x. Couldn’t be more satisfied.

This property is wonderful and the backyard is fantastic! The property manager was very responsive to questions and we had a great vacation.

We spent a wonderful week at this lovely place. The VRBO online listing is right on with the overview of the house and property. Lots to do whether sunny or rainy. The backyard is spectacular and was where we spent the majority of our time. The house has a bit of Old Scottsdale character but with all the latest amenities. Well appointed and very "cozy". I highly recommend a stay here on your next visit to Scottsdale !!

The property was exactly as we expected and the owners wonderful to deal with. Amazing Chef prepared meal for us was an added bonus we had not pre-planned but so glad we did arrange it with the owner.

The home provided lots of separate spaces for quiet times with children or conversation as well as several outdoor game options. By the use of ‘comfortable’ I mean the space and decor is welcoming and homey with lots of comfortable seating but not pristine. The pool area was the most popular with our family that included 2, 5, 6 and 8 year old children. There were lots of large, nice towels provided but a few more designated pool towels would have made me feel less guilty using the nice ones around the pool. The home was within easy walking distance of a playground and easy access to major roadways. Overall, very nice stay and responsive hosts.

This house is way bigger than the pictures show. Come with a family or a group of friends and you will have more room than you could hope for! The back yard is amazing... pool, hot tub, basketball, grill... anything you want, they have it. Our only downfall was the pool cleaner was not working so we didn’t spend as much time in it, but Arlene was fantastic about staying on top of it and communicating. We also got a visit from the home tortoise in the back yard which made my day! It is also in a great location.. right next to a ton of shops, bars, restaurants and main highways. It was super private and homey. I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

This was a beautiful property that was perfect for our gathering. Well stocked and many amenities.

We had an amazing time in this place. With 3 kids and 6 adults, there was nothing we needed and couldn't find it. we barely went out. Beautiful backyard with heated pool, hot tub, sport court and lots more to entertain the family and relax. A true vacation place. Arlene was very helpful and we would have immediate response anytime we needed something. I strongly suggest this place for big families with kids. We are planning to go back to this place at least once a year. Thank you.

Had a great time at the house. It had everything you needed to enjoy the great AZ spring weather. The owner was more than accommodating for special requests and did everything she could to make sure we had a great vacation. We would definitely return to this location for future Spring Breaks.

pool and hot tub and sport court were great for our kids all under 10.

Good place to stay with a group. Awesome backyard playground

Great experience. Beautiful property!!

We rented this home for the recent Thanksgiving holiday. We were hoping to find a home that could satisfy multi-generations and multi-families. This place was everything we hoped for and more. Plenty of space in the house to spread out and relax. The kitchen is well equipped and stocked I enjoyed making our Thanksgiving meal in there. The beautiful backyard, gave our kids plenty to do they enjoyed time in the pool, playing cornhole, darts, and basketball on the sports court. The neighborhood is quiet and in a fantastic location close to tons of shopping and restaurants. The owner, Arlene, was very responsive to questions and went above and beyond to make our stay fabulous. We can’t wait to return!!

Ten of us stayed at this home very comfortably! There were plenty of beds and enough privacy as well. It was very clean and had a homey feel with a well stocked kitchen. The backyard is an oasis! Pictures do not do it justice! Also, Arlene was very helpful and informative! We wanted the pool heated last minute, and she was able to accommodate us without hesitation. I rent vacation homes often through VRBO, and would highly recommend this place!

Location is great for everything you want to do in Scottsdale. The pool, yard and hot tub were so nice and we enjoyed them most every day of our trip. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils, cooking and baking pans, small appliances and a ton of spices. The house was very clean. The owners were very kind and responsive but not intrusive. We definitely hope to stay here again. Thank you Arlene!
