Such a beautiful home and we felt very relaxed in the home! Everything we needed in the home was provided. A great selection of any type of dish needed for cooking and a great selection of spices available for cooking! The home was clean, and the sleeping arrangements were comfortable. The host was nice and communicated in a timely manner and that certainly was a huge plus! Thank you for letting us stay in your home!

Lake Front Paradise, Pool and Hot Tub-Bubbly

CharleneRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We had a wonderful stay at Kyle’s home in Arizona! The house was spotless when we arrived and had such a cozy, welcoming feel. The location was perfect — just a quick drive to both Phoenix and Scottsdale, which made it easy to explore and enjoy all kinds of activities. Kyle was a fantastic host, very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We especially loved relaxing at the house itself — whether we were hanging out by the pool or enjoying the peaceful views by the water, it was the perfect place to unwind. Highly recommend!

🌴 King Bed🔥 Pool/Spa/Firepit | Upscale Scottsdale

BrianRating, 5 stars2 months ago
What more can I say that hasn’t been echoed by so many others already? But honestly, every bit of praise is well-deserved. This was our second stay at Jordon’s incredible home in Scottsdale, and it certainly didn’t disappoint – it was even better the second time around! Let’s talk about the backyard – wow. It feels like your own private oasis, with a pool that’s perfect for lounging or cooling off, a hot tub for relaxing under the stars, a grill for some fun cookouts, and seating areas that make you never want to leave. Seriously, it’s the kind of spot where you could easily spend the whole day and feel like you’re on vacation without ever leaving home. The bedrooms are just as amazing. The beds are so comfy and cozy, and the bedding is soft, fresh, and squeaky clean. It’s the perfect retreat after a day of poolside fun or exploring Scottsdale. We absolutely *love* this house – it’s like a second home for us now

DeanRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Fantastic place, great communication, well stocked. Perfect for a family. We had a lot of fun. It’s very quiet at night which is huge. We are coming in at the end of the vacation season in Scottsdale, and there were a couple minor things that need to be addressed, but the hosts were super helpful. Only issues we had was the beds were not great, but the hosts were very responsive about that and we saw they had several new mattresses in the garage, so it looks like that’s not an issue. Other thing was the beautiful and comfortable feather bedding. Three in my party are allergic to down/feathers and had some difficulty at nights. I didn’t see that in the listing, but I could have missed it. Alternate bedding options would be nice. Last thing, only a sheet and a comforter. Would have liked a thin blanket in between. Too hot for a comforter, too cool for just a sheet. Would be a 1/2 star deduction, but the rest was so great, I’ll round up. Thanks for a great vacation

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.
