Great Mountain View’s With Pool And Heated Jacuzzi

SueRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This is a spacious, beautiful home in a quiet and gorgeous neighborhood with Safeway, several restaurants, casinos and shopping nearby. The large backyard, putting green and hot tub were very nice. It was a bit too cool to get in the pool in January but would be great in warm weather. We filled the hummingbird feeder and watched them all month. There's also a nice gas bbq grill that we used several times. The four bedrooms are great for having friends visit or families and the large tub in the master bath was nice for a relaxing soak. Having access to the entire garage was a welcome bonus. Both John and Marisol were so welcoming, helpful and responded to any questions we had immediately. We would definitely book this property again.

Orchard Cottage, Heated Pool and Hot Tub

HeatherRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was our second stay at this property. We stayed in a different cottage/casita this time. It’s a lovely property with an in-ground pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen that is well stocked with food and appliances. She has a couple of outdoor fireplaces and plenty of seating outdoors to sit and visit and enjoy the surroundings. We could help ourselves to oranges off the trees! Both casitas have wonderful showers in them. This is a fun experience!

Walk 2 Old Town Scottsdale New Heated Pool Hot Tub

KristiRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This home exceeded all of our expectations. The highlight of our stay was definitely the pool, hot tub, and back yard with games. We had a fantastic time grilling steaks and watching the Super Bowl on the outdoor TV. Very nice, quiet neighborhood made us feel right at home. The home was comfortable with plenty of space for us. It was well-stocked with bath towels, pool towels, and all the household supplies we could ever need. Sprouts grocery store just a few blocks away made it very convenient as all we had to do was stock up our food and drinks as everything else was already there! Highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a perfect getaway.

Hidden Desert Cave Creek

PhilipRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Sarah's 'Hidden Desert' cottage lives up to its name! Though it wasn't far from anything we needed or wanted (supermarkets, trails, the Musical Instrument Museum). It is set beautifully among the saguaros, with plenty of privacy. We loved having our breakfast on the terrace, while watching the quail and rabbits. The kitchen had everything we needed and the bed was comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better refuge! We would definitely stay here again.

Pet friendly, Hot Tub, Patio: Old Town Scottsdale

TessiaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I enjoyed staying here! The place is a bit older, but very clean! Most Scottsdale Airbnbs need to be cleaned when you arrive at least in my experience. I personally felt safe walking my dog around the area. There are grassy spaces close by and a park just a little bit up the road. I spent a lot of time on the patio, it was very cute. Having a hot tub & firepit were a nice perk and a great way to relax at the end of the day! Hosts seem very attentive as well. The house had toilet paper provided and coffee.

Really enjoyed the apt - clean, good sized space for one person, fully stocked kitchen, comfortable bedroom, lots of light, and having the outdoor patio was a bonus. Stayed here while traveling for business and it was the perfect spot bc it was close to the places I had to go. If I was visiting for fun, I would likely choose a different neighborhood.

Glorious Green Condo w/Heated Pool & Hot Tub

MatthewRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My wife and I spent a week in Scottsdale for the Mesa marathon and Black Canyon Ultra and had an amazing time in this location. We were super impressed with the responsiveness and professionalism of Gabriel as a host and he was even kind enough to get us in to the unit a bit early. The unit itself was perfect and everything we hoped for, clean, comfortable, and a perfect home base for us to enjoy Scottsdale and the surrounding area. Location wise it’s extremely central with lots to do in the immediate area including entertainment and great restaurants and we especially loved the pool area as a place of reprieve to catch some afternoon sun and relax. Highly recommend this location and host!

All About Scottsdale

Desert living comes with an air of sophistication in Scottsdale, with more than 200 area golf courses and 50 luxury spas. Located in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert at the bottom of the McDowell Mountains, the city sits in the center of the area’s cultural hubs: a few miles south of Paradise Valley, six miles north of Tempe, about 13 miles northeast of Phoenix, 20 miles southwest of Fountain Hills, less than 20 miles southeast of Glendale, and 30 miles south of the Western town of Cave Creek. With upscale dining in North Scottsdale, shopping centers in Kierland Commons, vibrant nightlife in Old Town, and plenty of natural wonders to explore — whether it’s hiking Camelback Mountain or driving the Apache Trail — every Scottsdale experience comes with a distinctly Southwestern flavor.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Scottsdale

With 330 days of sun a year, it’s always the right time to pack light clothing for a Scottsdale visit. The sizzling desert heat reaches triple digits in the summer, with average highs above 100 degrees Fahrenheit and lows in the high 60s and 70s from June through September. Winter days remain warm with highs in the high 60s to low 70s, but lows can dip down into the high 30s and 40s, so always carry a jacket or extra layers. March, April, and November strike a balance, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s — the perfect months for outdoor adventures without the scorching heat or the chilly night air.
