The Windstone

KyraRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We planned a family vacation over spring break 2025 and wanted to just relax and enjoy our time together. We picked this house for the backyard and it was everything we had hoped for. We had a group of 9 with young kids ages 2-10 and our parents and the whole group enjoyed their stay. We spent all day outback swimming, on the greens and enjoying games provided with the house. Tiffany was a great host answering any questions we had in a timely manner. We will definitely be back to the area in the future.

Old Town Scottsdale - FREE Heated Pool + Fire Pit

HenryRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Amazing Scottsdale Stay! We had a fantastic experience at this Scottsdale Airbnb! The location was perfect — close to Old Town, great bars, restaurants, and entertainment. The place was clean, stylish, and had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The bar setup was top-notch, stocked with everything from mixers to garnishes — it felt like our own private lounge. We especially loved relaxing with some drinks and snacks before heading out. The cups and napkins had a fun Diamondbacks touch, which added a local vibe. The area was very walkable and had a great energy. We spent time exploring, grabbing food, and enjoying the nice weather. Evenings were unforgettable — one of the highlights was dining at a restaurant with an incredible digital aquarium atmosphere (pictured below). It felt like stepping into another world! Hosts were communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. Would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Scottsdale. Highly recommend!

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.

Casita Bonita in N. Scottsdale,AZ by Troon & Golf

FranckRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Fifth stay at William’s Casita in 5 years. 2 weeks each time. William and his wife are very cool and helpful. The place is beautiful and very calm just at the edge of the desert. Perfect place for Wildlife watching… from the pool. First neighbors are 200 yards away and the place is very safe. Never closed my car. The pool and Spa were for me alone the whole stay with beautiful desert views. The Casita is very typical of the Southwest, very comfortable with an Awesome kitchen and absolutely everything a Chef would need to cook. Many different places to eat outside (pool, patio, terrace…). Many places to go out for dinner. All styles nearby. Thanks again Bill and see you next year !

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!

Very clean and spacious condo. Quiet balcony to enjoy morning coffee. Had all the kitchen stuff, if you wanted to cook. The condo is conveniently located to several walkable restaurants and stores. There were plenty of linens & supplies, including pool towels!!! Awesome and thoughtful. We enjoyed the pool immensely!!! The elevator was useful, especially when lugging our suitcases. We would definitely book this condo again. Highly recommend Casandra’s condo.

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.
