Really a great house and location. Had everything we needed and really was a great experience
5.0
The house, pools and amenities were beyond what we expected. My teenage grandchildren very much enjoyed the game room, the pools, golf area, basketball hoops, especially the hoop by the pool. There were 11 of us and we all slept in comfortable large, clean beds. Not being fond of spiders or insects, I was amazed that I never saw any! Having so many to feed, we ate in most of the time and found everything we needed to do so. We all had so much fun and would love to vacation there again.
5.0
This home was the ideal place! Very clean and had everything needed. It’s perfect for families with so much to do without leaving the house. Pam, the hostess was so kind and responsive with any questions we had!. We will definitely stay there again!
5.0
The pictures do not do it justice! It was one of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen! Pam was always very personable, friendly and quick to offer guidance for things to do in the area or if I had any questions.
Don't let this one pass you by if you have an opportunity to book.
The pool area was amazing and relaxing. There were balconies everywhere to enjoy a sunrise or sunset. We went with a family of 6 adults and 3 kids and we had plenty of things to do around the home together. There was also more than enough space for us to enjoy some alone or quiet time.
Thank you again Pam for your wonderful hospitality! You made me feel like a "friend" when we communicated. I hope to one day get to see your other beautiful homes.
5.0
We came down for our family reunion. If I could rate the stay it would be a 10!! House was awesome!! I would recommend this home to everyone. Location was close to everything. If you like golf this is the place to stay. TPC Scottsdale only about 30 min away along with many more golf courses. There is a lot of family things to do. We look forward to coming back soon!!!
5.0
Great experience!! We had a family get together with 16 attendees. The home was everything we had hoped for and more. It’s a beautiful home with plenty of space and plenty to do without leaving the property. Pamela was an excellent host from the beginning through to the end. I hope to stay here again in the future!

Pam, thank you so very much for making our stay amazing, so relaxing and everything our family needed !!!

The house is even better than in the pictures. Lots of outdoor seating areas so you can always see a sunrise or sunset. Indoor activities are plentiful.
Had an issue and the owners responded promptly and made sure all was resolved.

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at this house. We had a family reunion over thanksgiving and had a wonderful time utilizing the pool, game room, golf course, and everything else! The house is beautiful and clean, and Pam was absolutely super communicative and helpful both before and during our stay. We hope to be back and cannot recommend it more! 11/10!

100% Paradise!
From the second I stepped on property I knew this was going to be the perfect place for our trip! I took 12 friends out to AZ for a golf trip and this place fit our group perfectly! Everything in and around the home is 100% as advertised or better! Throughout the trip we had plans to go out and explore but found ourselves spending all of our free time at the house. The outdoor pool area is out of a movie; as the sun goes down and all off the colorful accent lighting comes up, there is never a shortage of good vibes! There is plenty of living space so we never once felt like we were on top of each other which is huge when you have large group of adults. All of this was plenty for us to have the perfect trip, but we also had the PERFECT host to go along with it. Communication was on point all weekend and she made everything ridiculously easy for us! If I make it back out to AZ there is no way I’ll look anywhere else!
5.0
Perfect family vacation spot
My family stayed her for my niece’s first vacation. The house is very baby and family friendly with everything you would need for kids. The family that owns the house is super nice and easy to communicate with. Everyone enjoyed their stay here!
5.0
Great place for all ages
I can't say enough good things about this house. Our whole group had a great time, no matter their age. The house was very clean and communication was quick and easy right from the start. Pictures were not exaggerated at all, in fact, everything looked way better in person. The location is great as well. Would definitely stay here again in a hearbeat.
5.0
Great house in N. Scottsdale area!
The owners were very helpful and prompt with responses to any questions that I had. House was immaculate and in great condition. Very cool amenities including a putting green with chipping tee boxes, nice pool, corn hole, pool table, poker table, movie theater, ping pong, and more. You name it and this property most likely has it. The pictures are very representative of how amazing this place is. I highly recommend this property and would definitely rent it again! Thank you for the great experience!
