Villa de Paz
My husband and I loved our long weekend at Melissa's! The property is beyond beautiful, so quiet and peaceful, and super clean! The bed was comfy and the highlight was our little visits from Zoe, Melissa's dog. I would highly recommend that you stay in the peaceful gem! Easy to get around the area and Melissa was great for recommendations of all to do and see!

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!

Tuscany Retreat in North Scottsdale
Scott was great and it was very easy to get checked in. The house is very unique and cool. Our dogs were in heaven in the back yard and the pool area was beautiful and serene. Turbo the tortoise was a huge hit with our grandson and we loved seeing him everyday. Thank you Scott it was the perfect place for what we needed.

Billiards/Ping-Pong/Pool/Hot Tub/Fire Pit & More
A great place to stay! Overall pictures were well represented when we got there. Pool and hot tub were great as well as the putting green and pool table! The rain showers were awesome in the rooms with the king size beds. I would recommend blackout shades for the windows. The hosts were very responsive and answered any questions quickly. Had a great stay and would recommend this place!

The house was perfect. Bradley had thought of everything and it was just like being at home. He was also quick to respond to my questions. Everything was very clean and well organized. Will definitely book this house again!

Beautiful Home Centrally Located, With Pool
This was a lovely home with a very nice pool area in the backyard. We came in early April, so it wasn’t quite the full heat of summer, but the house stayed very cool with several fans running. It was easy to find, park, and get in to the place. We greatly enjoyed our stay and adventures in Phoenix!

Oldtown Scottsdale Desert Oasis 4 BR/ 2 Ba Lush
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!

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!!

Modern dog friendly tiny home in Mesa Spirt Resort
Mary was friendly and responsive. She resolved a small checkin issue quickly. The bed was comfy. A workout room on the property was nice. Small dog potty area close by. Orange tree in the back. All in all it was great for the week.

Two Sisters Cottage
Every time we stay we feel like we’re coming to our Phoenix home. It’s comfy, clean, and welcoming. It’s the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had. Thank you, Spyros!

Thanks again!

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.
