About this house rental
Summary:
5 bedrooms, Pet friendly, Pool/hot tub, pool table, ping pong, darts
The Space:
This is one incredible property to make your home base while in the Scottsdale area! From the 1+ acre lot with mountain views, to the private pool and hot tub (both completely resurfaced in August 2022) to the super comfortable house, you can't find a better spot to stay. Enjoy the "Sunset Room" to see some of the most beautiful sunsets around or enjoy a night of gaming in the game room with a full sized pool table, dart board and Pacman machine. Golf and top notch mountain biking are within minutes of the house, and best of all, we do allow your dog to accompany you. Per City of Scottsdale short term rental regulations we cannot sleep more than 6 adults and any of their dependent children. With that said we can sleep 10 max. This is NOT a party house! We do not allow bachelor/bachelorette parties, weddings/rehearsal dinners or any other events in our home. Our STR license with the city of Scottsdale is 2024737. As of June 2024, the house will be for sale. We are only opening the calendar 60 days prior to present day. Please do not book if you aren't comfortable allowing the house to be shown with 24 hours notice. We would never okay a showing without your permission but we are actively trying to sell and will offer money back or something like that if a showing request is made that you can allow.
We purchased this property in December of 2020 and have spent the last few months renovating it and getting it ready for rental. Its such a great space we wish that we could spend all of our time down here! We are property managers in Crested Butte, Colorado and while we operate our business there we do have folks on the ground in Scottsdale to help you. We've tried to craft this house to offer the most comfort and enjoyment for any sized group that comes in. Its a pretty special place that we truly hope you will enjoy. With all that said, this is NOT a party house!! This is a house for friends and family to create incredible memories, great laughs and to just enjoy life. Our intent is not to create a "party house". If that is what you are looking for, you will find many other houses that cater to that.
Upon walking into the home you will find yourself in the living room with a comfortable sectional couch and large smart tv. The office is right next to this space and has a full sized pullout sofa for 1-2 people and a desk for those that need to work. You have 2 French doors to shut this space. Also nearby is the powder bath for this floor and the stairs to the 2nd level. Walk through the living room to the dining room that seats 8 people at the table. You can then enter the kitchen which has been newly renovated with a quartzite countertop and new cabinet doors. The kitchen is fully equipped with all of your cooking needs from pots and pans, small appliances, platters, plates, utensils, you name it its there. There is also a breakfast table that can sit 6-8 with an extra leaf available to add if needed.
From the kitchen you can enjoy chatting with your crew in the very comfortable family room with oversized sectional couch and large flatscreen tv. While you can see a fireplace in the photos it is unusable as we have permanently capped the chimney and will be adding an electric fireplace in fall of 2022 along with new surround tile. You can also exit to the patio from here and enjoy eating at the patio table that seats 6, head to the private pool and hot tub that is separately fenced for safety or just hang out on the numerous patio and lounge chairs. There is also a large grill just outside the patio door.
Also on this floor you will find the junior master suite with a king bed, walk in closet, flatscreen tv, and full bath with tub shower/combo. Exit this room and continue to the laundry room with a full sized washer/dryer and utility sink. Exit from here into the spacious 2 car garage (its technically 3 but we do leave a car in the garage on the far side) which also has an extra fridge and another full sized washer/dryer.
The 2nd floor has the other 4 bedrooms. The master suite is massive with a king bed and flatscreen television. As part of the suite we have what we call the "Sunset Room" which is another office with a door and a full sized sofa bed. There is a set of French doors from here that go out to the master balcony that has the best sunset views in the area. The master bathroom has a claw footed bathtub, full travertine shower, marble topped vanity with 2 sinks and a separate room with the toilet. You will also find a walk in closet for your belongings. The entire master suite has a set of French doors to close off the whole space and individual doors to close off the Sunset Room, the bedroom and the bathroom. Walk down the hallway and take a right to the other 3 guest bedrooms. You will find one bedroom with a king bed and flatscreen tv, a queen bedroom and a twin bedroom with 2 twin beds. All have closets for your use. These 3 rooms share one full bathroom with double sinked vanity with granite countertop and a tub/shower combo. Exit this area and head to the game room which is a loft space above the living room where we have a full-sized pool table, dart board, putting game and a Pacman machine.
The front entry of the house has additional shaded patio seating to hang out. Play Pickleball on the driveway (its portable). The yard has fruit trees to harvest grapefruit, key limes and oranges when in season as well as lots of native plants and our personal favorite the "Funky Saguaro".
While the house can sleep many configurations of people, we find its probably most comfortable for 2 families. We allow 1 well-behaved dog to come with you. In certain circumstances we do allow 2 pets so please reach out to us if you want to bring 2. If you aren't bringing a pet please let us know and we'd be happy to refund that pet fee back to you.
The house is right next to Whisper Rock golf course and about 2 miles to Legend Trail. You can also hop on your mountain bike and ride about a mile and a half and hop on the trail network in the Sonoran Preserve which could have you riding for days. Trails are well marked and fun riding. Those same trails are great for a day hike or head over to Pinnacle Peak or Black Mountain to get a bit of a climb in and see the panorama of the area.
The town of Cave Creek is just 5 miles away and is a cute western town with great restaurants and fun shopping. Grocery stores, spas and everything you really need is all within a few minutes of the house. Doordash is a great amenity to get takeout and have it delivered so you can enjoy hanging out at the house. Old Town Scottsdale, world class shopping, museums, major league baseball training, TopGolf, Casino's and nightlife are all within a 30 minute drive. Barlett Lake with water skiing and pontoon boats is 20 miles away. There are so many things to do in our area but we can assure you that after your days adventures you will enjoy coming back to our home where you can enjoy a breathtaking sunset, quiet solitude and resort style living in the most sought after area of Scottsdale.
The pool can be heated with 24 hours notice (it does take that long to heat it) at $100/day. Unfortunately we do not allow burning of any kind on or in the property.

Property matched description perfectly. Everything was clean and prepared for our stay, and the automated check in made it very flexible for schedule purposes. Amazing location for a golf trip, as we were 20min tops to each course we played. Would highly recommend to others and for sure would stay again.

This property was wonderful for a family gathering. Very clean and well organized with amenities.
The pool is not as large as it appears in the picture. The only negative was that 3 upstairs bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom.

The Funky Saguaro is a FABULOUS property. It exceeded our expectations in every way. Super well appointed, comfortable, and convenient. Four guys on a golf vacation - we've been renting different properties annually for 31 years. The Funky Saguaro might just be the best property we've ever stayed at. OUTSTANDING

Stayed two weeks. Good location. Excellent house. Everything you could need is there. Everything is new and it all works. TVs all the same, with Dish network so you do not HAVE to stream everything, which is convenient. DVRs allow recording programs. Best, most complete and well appointed house we have stayed in. Had mechanical problem with door lock when we arrived, call the number and got immediate help. Owners also responded to small problem immediately. Liked everything about the house.
5.0 / 5.0
The house is very comfortable, it’s within 30 minutes of the major golf courses in the area. It could use another shower but it worked out well. The kitchen was well appointed, furniture comfortable. The pool table was fun but not in a practical location, move it downstairs to the living room. The hot tub and pool were great after a day on the course. The mgmt company responded when needed. Thanks for that.

Well appointed home with plenty of room for 5 ‘senior’ golfers. Excellent location near many of the courses we played. Very quiet and secluded. Used the hot tub a few times but not the pool as the weather didn’t support a cold dip! Highly recommended.

The property was beautiful and had lots for the family to enjoy! The beds were amazing! The roominess was perfect! The extra fridge was a plus! Can’t say anything negative! Loved the stay! Thank you so much for making it a great family get together!

Wonderful home for large family with breathtaking views of the desert. Everything you need to fully enjoy your time away. Serene environment but close to activities. Golfed, hiked, swam and had great meals in Carefree. House was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Highly recommend and would return in a minute [maybe in a cooler time]
5.0 / 5.0
This property is absolutely FANTASTIC! My Family and I had an amazing time and the rental was definitely the, “Cherry On Top”! The house is big, beautiful, unbelievably organized, great, “attention” to every detail, and beyond comfortable. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Scottsdale area.

If you need a house that can hold a lot of people this place is for you ! Super great amenities and the grounds are really pretty!

Our eleven year old grandson who is ultra high energy never got bored and never found time for his iPad! Ping pong, billiards, pool, hot tub and more. 🙌🙌🙌
Adults also very comfortable and able to relax. Kitchen appliances and grill, nice big kitchen table all contributed to the experience.
The icing on the cake so to speak was the desert in bloom right on the property. We all enjoyed nature’s fragrances.

We are a group of friends who go on a golf trip each year. When we selected Scottsdale for this year, as we always do, we looked for a home to rent that could also act as golf central. This beautiful home was perfect. It had all of the necessary amenities and was close to all of our golf and dinners at local restaurants. Our questions were always promply answered by the owners. I recommend this home. Stu

Great house for 8 of us on a golf trip. Lots of room, great amenities and location, and Shay was very easy to deal with and responsive. Highly recommended!!
5.0 / 5.0
This was a fantastic house. The setup was perfect for our group. There were 3 master bedrooms and a few other rooms for kids. The kitchen and living areas were nice as well. The kids enjoyed the pool and searching the grounds for creatures. We enjoyed the location being outside of town. We never even heard or saw a neighbor. Everything in Phoenix or Scottsdale is at least 30 minutes away but we prefer it to bring in town. There are grocery stores and restaurants near by. Overall we loved the house and will probably come back.
5.0 / 5.0
Very pleased with the accommodations. Pool was excellent. Nice spa as well. House was loaded with everything one could think of: kitchen tools and spices, pool towels and toys, games, extra fridges and washer/dryer. Close to shopping and a very quiet area.

Spent 8 days in Scottsdale for a family and friends vacation. The Funky Saguaro was perfect with a great location near Carefree and Cave Creek. The house had everything we needed and had great TV's for March Madness!

Great house, in a beautiful, quiet location. Enjoyed the fruit trees on the property. Well equipped. Would definitely stay here again.
5.0 / 5.0
We found this property excellent for our needs. The location is a little remote from Scottsdale - about a 30 min drive to more central Scottsdale. But the location was excellent for hiking (Spur Cross Ranch Area and Pinnacle Peak Park) as well as enjoyable dining in Cave Creek (10 min). The deck and hot tub were great as well as the game room with pool, darts and a video game console. The house was spacious and comfortable.

What a perfect house for our gathering for our family birthday party. The house is spacious, easy, wonderfully equipped and just a joy to stay in. The pool was perfect; there were many places to hang out both inside and out. We want to return for another gathering. Shay, the property manager, was helpful in getting us in and answering questions. And the listing shows the house but can’t convert the sense of peace and beauty that you feel.

Great stay!
Gorgeous home! Very clean and quite spacious. Kitchen is well equipped with just about everything you need including most spices and oils. Wide variety of games and pool floats to keep everyone entertained. Lots of areas to gather as a group or spread out and enjoy a few minutes of peace and tranquility to yourself. The neighborhood is located close to shopping, restaurants and numerous hiking trails, but still feels like you aren't in the city. If you like grapefruit, the tree in the backyard has some of the best we've ever had. Our first time in Arizona and we're already making plans to visit again.

Stunning views and gorgeous home for family stay
We loved staying here. The house was even more lovely than the pictures showed, and we couldn’t get enough of the sunrise and sunset views complete with desert surroundings. It was quiet and private, and easy to get to Cave Creek and Carefree. One of the nicest pools we’ve ever swam in, and we appreciated the security of the iron fence for our children. In the house it seemed that all our needs had been thought of in advance, pool floats and towles, kitchen tools and accoutrements, so many games. We had a wide range of ages and everyone enjoyed out stay. I highly recommend the Funky Saguaro to anyone! Thank you for going above and beyond in hospitality!
