We were in Phoenix for a family reunion. Beautiful house, spacious and well-equipped, comfortable for ourselves and our grown children and their spouses. The pool was fun and the location can't be beat: close to recreation, restaurants, and shopping. Thanks, Debra.

Our family of five stayed here for 5 nights. This home is spacious and well furnished and equipped. The backyard with it's swimming pool is also a nice feature. You can't beat the location, minutes away from Scottsdale Road. Tons of shopping and restaurants nearby. We'll rent this property again.

Owner response:Thanks for the review.

We recently returned for a visit after moving from Scottsdale 5 years ago, and the location of this house is the best around! Together with a huge yard and pool, and lots of comfortable space inside, we didn't want to leave the house during our stay! We will, without question, be booking another stay for our next trip to the Valley. Thank you for everything!!

Owner response:Looking forward to having you stay again.

We had a wonderful visit at your beautiful home, I only wish we had 1-2 more days there! Excellent location and amazing neighborhood. I took your advice and went to the spa down the street, best massage I've ever had! Great area to walk around in, very convenient to shops, mall, and restaurants. We definitely will return! Thanks so much.

Owner response:I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed your vacation, including taking advantage of the services at the Sanctuary.

The house felt like home within minutes of arriving. The location was minutes from down town. AJ's market up the street is a gourmet grocery. The beds were comfortable and the house was spotless. We will definately return. Thanks for a great stay!

Owner response:Look forward to seeing you and your family next time, so glad you had a great stay.

This is a beautiful property and was a perfect fit for our group. The house itself is spacious with a great split floorplan. There are actually 2 living rooms with large TVs. The kitchen and all the rooms are well-appointed. We spent the most time outside between the heated pool and basketball hoop in the driveaway. The scenery surrounding the home is beautiful as well -- a clear view of Camelback Mountain and great access to everything. Thanks Debra for being a great host!

Owner response:Mark, Glad your group had a great time. As per your request I will save your dates for next year.

i needed space to entertain 9 out-of-town ladies for a bachelorette weekend-- this house was perfect! it is open, clean, nicely decorated and super-inexpensive compared to resorts nearby. we were able to sit by the fireplace and chat, take long hikes/walks on camelback mountain (it is literally across the street), and even host a bridal shower in the spacious backyard-pool area. it is 5 minutes from scottsdale road, and we enjoyed shopping and restaraunts without having to drive across town. it is fully stocked with linens, utensils, tvs, and wi-fi. i would recommend this house if you need lots of space and want to be close to resorts, hiking, shopping, without paying a ton of money for fancy hotel rooms.

Owner response:Happy the pre-wedding gathering went well for you and all the gals! Have a great time at the wedding.

Reunion in Paradise valley

We recently rented this home for a 5 day family reunion. What a location & our great experience couldn't have been better. It is a great home for large families, spacious enough for everyone could be together , breakaway for a little on 1 on 1 time or even sneak in a nap! We thoroughly enjoyed the great fenced in yard with heated pool & fire pit (a bonus in the middle of January). The kids had a great time, swimming, playing basketball, riding bicycles & making use of the Wi-Fi. The kitchen was great & with 4 cooks in the house it was used a lot. Any little glitches we had the owner was quick to remedy. Overall, it was a great experience and we'll definitely be back. Thank you, Debra for making your home available to us!

Owner response:Alane and Tony, I am so glad that your reunion went well. I hope you can visit again in the near future or whenever is best for you. Thank you for your kind review. Debra

We recently rented this home for a one week family vacation. We could not have asked for more!!! Not only is this home beautiful, but it allowed us to relax as well! Although we right by The Sanctuary, we never even ventured to it's pool. The pool in the backyard was so wonderful, there was no need to leave. My son and his fiancé brought their dog, who also loved the home and yard so much, he now refuses to go into his cage!!!! This was THE single most relaxing and enjoyable vacation we've had in years! Thank you, Debra for making your home available to us!!! We'll be back!Sincerely,Traci & Peter Mosby
