This home truly felt like a safe haven. It was an escape that was peaceful and relaxing. Had everything we needed, and was a great for keeping the kids entertained! The karaoke machine was a huge hit and even having the outdoor speaker for the pool time was such a thoughtful touch. Glenn was very communicative and always responded immediately. If you’re looking for a home that feels like your own house this has everything you could possibly need!

We loved our stay at the desert oasis! It was the perfect place for our large group of girls with plenty of space for everyone. The house is even better in person, it truly felt like our own personal resort for a few days. The outdoor area can’t be beat. Location is a bit far from town but we loved how peaceful it was. With so much to do on the property there was no need to leave! Hosts were lovely and very responsive. Would recommend and would love to stay here again.

Mid-Century Modern w/ Guest House in Old Town

DaveRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We felt that the location was ideal for us as we attended the ASU graduation and were able to explore the area with family. Being able to hop onto Scottsdale road (without hearing any street noise at night) was super convenient to go either way to Tempe, the interstate to see other areas (Phoenix, Mesa, camelback), and of course north to old and new Scottsdale. Close to very good restaurants and any store you may need. The house is what you see on the site. The casita is a small house with space and is extremely well kept and ideal for a larger group. The main house was spacious and well laid out. Everyone was happy with their rooms. Ryan had everything stocked from towels, bathroom necessities, plates, glasses, etc. The pool table came in handy for some friendly games. The covered carport is a great benefit in AZ. Another benefit is the checkout, Ryan kept it simple. Very happy with our stay and would recommend.

Modernism meets Spanish Style with gorgeous pool

KaylaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
I really enjoyed my stay the house was beautifulllll! The pictures definitely made it seem bigger than what it was but it was beautiful nonetheless. The property is shared with a studio in the backyard. The owners let us know that there would be someone sharing the space with us. But it felt a little invasive on both parties. I felt our neighbors deserved more privacy as they had to walk through backyard to the side gate to leave. I would definitely book again and included the studio in my next stay.

Mid Century Modern Home in Old Town w/ Heated pool

KatieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The Airbnb was amazing and such a fun themed house! The pool was great and warm enough with the 100 degree weather even without heating it. Great neighborhood and quiet. It was about 12 min ride down to Old Town Scottsdale and about 7 min to the club area of Scottsdale, which was convenient. Our only complaint was that the back sliding door to the yard/pool was not locking properly and needs to be fixed. Overall, great house!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful casita! It’s cozy, clean, and full of charm—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The attention to detail really made it feel like a home away from home, and everything was exactly as described (if not better). Jeffery was friendly, responsive, and made the whole process smooth and welcoming. Highly recommend this little gem for anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay. We’d definitely love to return!

Mark’s place was absolutely stunning. It fit our group of 8 more than comfortably. The house was clean and spacious with a pristine pool. The games outside were just as pictured in the listing. The house is also in a great location near restaurants and grocery stores. It’s also just a short ride away from Old Town. Again, the house was perfect and I would highly recommend.

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.
