This property was exceptional in every way!! My family and I loved the openess and the layout of this beautiful home. The owners are very warm and have had great communications with us. The view is spectacular from the upper deck. The patio is another lovely "room" to enjoy as well. My sons and husband were thrilled with using the pool table. Another treat is the wine cellar.. all very organized and a an excellent collection. Comfortable, elegant and just lovely in every way. We hope to return soon!

We enjoyed a family reunion with my wife 5 children, and two grandchildren, and had a great time. It was very comfortable and had great views from their deck. All my kids said I "scored" in acquiring such a nice home for the holidays. KW

Owner response:A satisfied guest is our goal. Our property reflects our expectations when we rent a vacation home. Cleanliness, elegance, upscale bedding and good taste in furnishings. Owners will inspect the property before every guest arrival to make certain the home meets quality standards. Soledad and Allan

5 STAR

A group of 4 adults stayed in this home during the end of October which is the best time of year in Arizona. The home is in a quiet gated community with easy access to the 202 freeway. This home is IMMACULATE, indoors and out. I've stayed at other VRBO homes and this is one at the top of the list. Definately a 5 star home. The home has an open layout which provides lots of space for groups but still feels cozy. The owner has given much thought to design, amenities and details. The beds and linens are high quality as well as the art and furnishings. While the inside is fabulous, so is the outside area and patio. Upon arrival, we were immediately drawn to the outdoors and we were greeted by music with great sound quality. The sunsets from the upstairs patio are amazing. Make sure to catch one while here and don't go inside too early -- it just keeps changing and getting better. I would certainly recommend this property to friends and family. I have noticed that alot of the reviews discuss weddings/receptions and this hime is perfect for something like that. However, we stayed for fun and what a great experience we all had. Nearby is D'Vino's bistro restaurant (recommended by the owner), where we had a great dinner outside and enjoyed the wine tasting they offer inside. We had planned on eating out more during our stay but instead chose to grill/cook at the house due to the ambiance of the home. Can't wait to go back!

Great location for a wedding!

My husband and I were married at Soledad and Allan's house May 14 and everyone had an absolutely fantastic time! With 3 extra bedrooms, we were able to allow some of the out of town guests stay with us, prior to the ceremony. The master suite has a bathroom that outdoes some of the spas in AZ, which is where all of the girls got ready before the ceremony. Plenty of extra refrigerator space was a big help and the outside speakers made the whole environment super relaxing. We miss this house and think the owners are really nice and accomodating. Thank you SO much! : )

My and my now husband had our wedding at this beautiful home. The house is nice, open, and comfortable with amazing views of the city and an awesome flagstone patio where we were married, ate, and did our dancing! And that was with about 120 guests! Soledad and Allan (the owners) and so easy to work with, very accommodating, and just cool. ;) It is a nice house for a wedding, weekend getaway, month getaway! Anything really. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did, and thanks again Soledad and Allan!

Great Event Location

We used this house as a wedding reception location, and it was amazing! All the guests loved the feel of a backyard party in such a beautiful location. The views of the city are spectacular, especially from the rooftop terrace. The house itself is beautiful inside, with plenty of room to sleep guests the night of. The patio is made for entertaining, so if you are looking for a unique place to hold an event, I highly recommend!

Excellent Place to Stay

My wife and I and another couple stayed here for Ironman Arizona. In a weekend where we had to worry about every single detail, we never had to worry about the accommodations. The property is beautiful and immaculately maintained. The owner couldn't be nicer or easier to deal with, including emails with directions and suggestions. The house is well-furnished and extremely comfortable with lots of space to spread out indoors and outside. The roof deck affords a beautiful view of the city and the smell of the lemon and orange trees in the backyard is transporting. Everything about our stay was wonderful, and we highly recommend the property.

Owner response:My husband and I strive to offer our guests the same comfort and cleanliness we expect when we rent vacation homes.

Perfect for Girls Getaway

My girlfriends and I needed time away from everything and everyone to chill out, catch up on our reading, catch the night life if we wanted, cook our favorite food which was mostly fresh Mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, basil, olive oil and wine. I know, Arizona in July is crazy but we had a blast. The home is big, open, upgrades throughout the home, a kitchen so inviting, we hang out around the kitchen while enjoying coffee, talking and watching TV. There are 4 bedrooms with king size beds with wonderfully cozy bedding. The master bedroom and bath are very cool and fancy. One of us took a sofa bed which was really confortable. It is super clean, luxurious, and nicely done. Less than 30 minutes from Scottsdale where we found yummy restaurants. D'vine wine bar is two miles from the house with live entertainment daily, great food and friendly people. Got Sushi is also in the same area. I loved the ambiance and sushi was delicious. I am planning a family reunion next year and I will certainly be back to this house early spring, autum or winter to fully enjoy the outdoors. It was a great experiience. The owner worked with us and was super flexible. This is a home we will come back to, when visiting Arizona.

Great vacation experience

My family just stayed two lovely weeks in this beautiful home. We have rented many vacation homes over the years and this one by far exceeded our expectations. The home is beautifully decorated with high ceilings, open layout and amazing view. Although it is a luxury home, it is also cozy and inviting. We entertained our friends and enjoyed the city views at night from the upper deck. My husband played golf, we took the kids to the zoo but could not wait to get back to relax with a movie. The kitchen area was my favorite because I could participate in conversation with the rest of the family while I cooked. Great stay, will be back next year. Christy
