Great Scottsdale property! This home was just what we were looking for. The owners met us at the home and we found it quite roomy and very clean. We had plenty of space for us and our teenage boys. They loved the pool and patio and also the flat screen tv's. We highly recommend renting from CJ and Jamie. They were easy to work with and always available if we had any questions.

We arrived having had a hectic few days in Vegas. This was just the place we needed where we could relax, unwind and recharge. The house is clean and very spacious, has just about everything you will need. The pool is great, big with a diving board and the water is warm in the summer even without heating. The house is in a quiet road and shops are within a short drive. It's an excellent place to base yourself whether you just want to do nothing or explore the surroundings. We would definately go back in fact we didn't want to leave.

Our party of four arrived at the property and were greeted by Jamie with a bottle of wine which was very nice after a long drive. There weren't enough sun loungers but we were very quickly brought more when requested. The house itself was lovely and the pool and yard area very nice just as described, clean and comfortable. There was pleanty to do around and about shopping, eating and day tripping. All in all we had a lovely relaxing time and would definatley use CJ and Jamie again.

The house was fantastic set in a lovely quiet location, yet still close to local shops and restaurants and easey access from the airport. The owners were very helpful and informative and the decor was beautiful with lovely touches such as toiletries in all the bathrooms. Also one of the best stocked houses for food and cleaning materials that we have ever stayed in. Beautiful house , gorgeous weather, what more could you ask for - we will definitely be back.

We had a great stay at this house. Very comfortable, tons of room, and lots of amenities! Absolutely loved the yard. We spent a lot of time in the yard and in the hot tub and pool. Close proximity to various restaurants and shopping. CJ and Jamie thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We'd recommend this house to anyone.

Jamie, This was our first trip to Arizona and definitely won't be the last! We enjoyed the home thoroughly and truly appreciated your hospitality. The sunny, spacious backyard was a hit for all of us. The comfy beds were a treat and everyone had a space to escape in this large home. Thanks again for everything :)

This was the perfect property for our family vacation. The location is great since it is close to shopping, restaurants and the freeway. This is a gorgeous house with a large backyard and all the amenities you can wish for in a vacation rental. The pictures are already very nice and we were surprised that it was even better in reality. We would recommend this home to everybody with or without children.

We had the opportunity to stay at Jamie's home in late March, 2009. The house was every bit as beautiful as the pictures portray! Top of the line appliances and finishes abound. We loved the close proximity to Kierland Commons and all of the great shopping and restaurants that Scottsdale has to offer. Also the house was exceptionally close to the 101 loop that takes you anywhere you want to go in the greater Phoenix area very quickly. The kids LOVED the pool, particularly that it was deep enough in the deep end for a diving board. Also a quick walk takes you to a park with basketball courts and baseball diamonds. The yard was lovely - we enjoyed having our mourning coffee outside. It is a very quiet neighbourhood. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the number of beds makes this a great house for groups and families.

The kids loved the pool, particularly that it was deep enough in the deep end for a diving board. Also a quick walk takes you to a park with basketball courts and baseball diamonds. A short drive takes you to Cracker Jacks where kids and families can ride go carts, bumper boats, play mini-golf and bat at the batting cages, as well as engage in a number of indoor games.

We rented Jamie's home for our annual golf trip, myself, my brother and two very close friends. The house was very comfortable with all the amenities. Pool and hot tub were great. Close to all Scottsdale amenities, and golf courses.

We had a great time staying at the house while visiting the Phoenix area. The house was immaculate, beds were very comfortable, shower water pressure was great, and the house has a fantastic location, very easy to get places. We would definitely try to stay here again on future visits to Scottsdale!
