Villa de Paz
Our stay at Villa de Paz was absolutely incredible! From the start, Melissa went above and beyond, knowing we were arriving late from our flight, she made sure all the gates were unlocked for a smooth and easy check-in. Upon arrival, we were greeted with thoughtful snacks and drinks, which was such a warm welcome after a long travel day. Melissa was an amazing host, extremely helpful, communicative, and full of great local recommendations that really made our trip even better. And don’t even get me started on the property itself, it truly felt like a private resort. The views, the amenities, the atmosphere… simply WOW. Even though we stayed in the pool house, it felt incredibly private and peaceful. If I ever find myself back in the area, there’s absolutely no other place I’d want to book. This stay was perfect from beginning to end. Thank you, Melissa, for everything!

Orchard Cottage, Heated Pool and Hot Tub
I can definitely see why people have booked this place 10x+! First the directions, instruction and recommendations could not be more clear and helpful, time was taken to get every detail. The property is in a gated community and parking was easy even with our Tundra. The property itself is absolutely beautiful! Heated pool, hot tub, beautiful, secluded outdoor entertainment area and seating. Even with the pool area being communal, it was quiet and easy going. The little house we had was perfectly private, bed was comfortable, place was clean and super cute! The tortoises are awesome! Thank you Diana for sharing your space and having anything and everything you may need. We came to deal with family loss only, but we would absolutely like to return to vacation!

This was my first trip to Arizona . I was graduating from university of Phoenix and this Airbnb was ideal for me . It was 15 minutes from the airport and 25 minutes to Chase field where the graduation was being held. Chris is a great host, I like him and will definitely recommend his place. He is reliable and accessible. He respond quickly to my questions before the trip and thought-out the trip. The house is Beautiful , comfortable, and clean. It had all the amenities listed. It’s close to a lot of place and was easy to find . I did suggest that he put a television in the other two bed rooms . I am not a television person but my family members mentioned it . The master bedroom was the only bedroom that had a tv, and the living area did too . Thank you Chris for the accommodations !!!

Great experience at Gail’s place. Such a cute, clean accommodating place. Very comfortable. Lots of condiments in the refrigerator and cabinets. We forgot to pack coffee, but no worries!

We really enjoyed our stay at your house this past week while visiting our son and his family, who live nearby. The location couldn’t have been more convenient, and the home was perfect—spacious, clean, and very comfortable. We enjoyed the good-sized kitchen and large dining room table. We also appreciated the large yard and the fun mini golf course. Brandi was a wonderful host—responsive and made sure everything was just right. We’d happily stay here again next time we’re in town!

Beautiful Desert Lakeside Beach
We recently came back to Gilbert to stay for the holidays and found this townhouse. It turned out to be the perfect place for our family! Everything was extremely nice and new. The kitchen was perfectly stocked and we were able to make dinner there every night. The complex is in a very nice location in Gilbert and the amenities including the hot tub and pickleball courts were lots of fun. Sophia is an excellent host and great to work with. We are already planning to book here again when we return this summer!

Sunny Home Away From Home. Easy access to Valley.
Darolyn is the bomb!!! We drove 1800 miles with a dually truck, trailer, motorcycles and our large dog. Darolyn’s communication from the beginning was exceptional. She explained how parking would work and there were no surprises! Her place was PERFECT for us! We have a Neapolitan Mastiff and she was right at home. We brought her kennel and set that up in the living room. It worked really well. Our dog easily learned how to use the doggy door and loved it. FYI, there’s a huge dog park a couple miles away on Carver Rd. We went there everyday. Our dog will miss the new friends she made 🐾 The beds were so comfortable and I loved having a TV in the larger one. The shower head was delightful and the pressure was excellent. We couldn’t have asked for anything more in the kitchen. It was well stocked and accessible. Loved having a washer and dryer available and use of one side of the garage. The patio was very comfortable and the privacy blinds were great at night. Thank you Darolyn!!

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.
