This is a wonderful and spacious house, where we had a small and much needed family reunion. The property manager was very helpful and available to answer all of our questions and needs. The heated pool and hot tub seemed to be the central location during our stay. We would love to come back in the future.

Mom's 90th Birthday

Guest: Party Planner (Brawley, CA)
Date of Stay: 06/16/11 Review Submitted: 06/30/11

We had a fabulous stay and a delightful celebration of Mom's 90th birthday. The house, yard, and pool made for the perfect setting. Everyone, from the birthday girl to the newest great grandchild enjoyed the time spent with family. We cooked, BBQed, swam and toasted to many more birthdays in perfect comfort.

This was our third stay at this great house. We are 7 ladies who have an annual AZ trip and we had a wonderful time again!!! The house has some new furnishings and new flat screen TV (we had to watch the Royal Wedding). The owners are great and work with you for anything you need and Gary the house manager is very helpful too. The pool was perfect and we never even left the house except to grocery shop. Ahhhhh. Hope to be able to return to it next year.

Owner response:Thanks for your kind words, Irene. We love having you and her friends as guests at our home. Come back next year!

Stayed here with a group of 7 for a guys week of golf. The house was perfect for our group. The property is well kept up and the owner was very responsive to all of our needs. For golf in Scottsdale, you cannot beat this home for value, location or quality.

A Great Family House

Date of Stay: 11/20/10 Review Submitted: 12/13/10

We had the pleasure of staying here over the Thanksgiving Holiday. There were 15 of us, including 6 kids under 3 years old. Each family had their own room and the house was equipped with several nice amenities for kids, including a fence around the pool. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub a lot and loved the location. Close to great golf, McDonalds Ranch and shopping. If any issues arose there was help available at all times. We enjoyed our time and would definitly go back.

our first time to Phonix for me and 4 friends for a golf weekend. House was even nicer than the pictures. lots of room and a bed for each guy. great backyard with a pool and hot tub. beautiful views of the mountains and desert from the hot tub. we even met the next door neightbour who was really friendly and had some dinner suggestions. really close to a great hike up Pinnacle Peak. we'd stay here again in a heartbeat if we come back to Phoenix!

Owner response:Thanks for your kind words. I hope you and your friends enjoyed the golf and beautiful weather.

We had a great week at the house and the private back yard is excellent for a group of ladies to lounge around the pool. Must have a car as location is a bit off the beaten track.

Owner response:Glad you ladies had a great time. Please come again!

Exquisite Luxurious Mini Estate

Guest: LisaJoy (Schaumburg, IL)
Date of Stay: 08/03/10 Review Submitted: 09/01/10

This was the most beautiful fresh, crisp clean, well taken care of home. The house is much prettier than the pictures. Soaring living room ceilings tons of windows with natural light coming in. The back yard is to die for. It's huge! You also have mountain views from the pool, patio and upper deck off the master bedroom. The owner was very very easy to work with and quite pleasure do business with. He was always a phone call away with any questions. Salt river rafting is close by, as well as Old Town and Down Town Scottsdale. Fountain Hills is close enough to see the worlds tallest water fountain. When your there drive around area. we saw wild pigs roaming down the mountain into a neighborhood. you have grocery stores galore. But the best one is Walmart Super Center off FrankLoyd Wright Blvd. I have already recommended this home to people I know. You have your own private resort. Just pack your bags, go and relax. Everything is at your finger tips. I will be back and can't wait!

Owner response:Lisa and her group were a last-minute booking. So glad everything worked out and they had such a good time.

A True Gem

Guest: kristinp77 (Charlotte, NC)
Date of Stay: 03/19/10 Review Submitted: 04/20/10

My family and I were in Scottsdale for a wedding and had the opportunity to stay at this wonderful home. The property is spacious, clean and has everything you could ever need to be comfortable away from home. We had two small children in our group and marveled at the fact that cribs, high chairs, a pool fence and even a children's size table was provided. The owner was extremely easy to work with as was the property manager. If you are traveling to Scottsdale and considering renting a house do not pass this one up!

Owner response:We pride ourselves in taking care of our guests. As a father myself, I know how important it is to have the right amenities at a home in case if you have small children. It's safer and easier than having to lug around cribs and high chairs.

Had a group of 12 guys for a golfing weekend in beautiful Scottsdale, AZ. This house was amazing. Fit all of us very comfortably. The house has everything you could ask for and more. Already starting to plan our next golfing trip to Scottsdale. Would rent this house again in a heart beat. Excellent and thanks again.

Wonderful home in Scottsdale. Accomodated 6 ladies for a golf weekend beautifully. Everyone had their own bed. Weather was a little cool so we didn't use the backyard. Pool and hot tub looked very inviting though!

Girls weekend/30th birthday celebration! Was so fun! Six girls, we all had our own beds and it was awesome! We spent most of our time outside by the pool, relaxing. The house had everything that we needed and there was never a problem in the whole process of booking and all the way through our stay! We didn't want to leave. It was so hard to leave an 80/90 degree weather place and come back to snow. Would rent this place again.

We had 11 guys for a long weekend of golf - the house was perfect. There was plenty of room to spread out and the outside patio area and pool was used non-stop. FYI- the dining room table seats 10 for poker very comfortably.

This is a very nice home, located in an awesome area! The house is very private and the backyard area is wonderful! Great places to sit and relax and enjoy the fine Scottsdale weather. The kitchen is wonderful, as is the rest of the house! 4 couples of us felt very comfortable for our 5 night stay here.

What a wonderful place to stay!! We completely filled the house with 12 guests ranging from 74 down to 9 - the pool was great, although a little cold, the kitchen was fantastic and enough room for everyone to spread out when necessary - we will definately be back. Thank you for opening your home to us.

We can not say enough good things about this house! We were in Scottsdale for a wedding and had to accommodate five families from all over the US; this house did it with ease! The layout was fantastic for our large group. We were able to spend time together but never felt like we were on top of each other, there was more than ample space to spread out and reconnect! The pool was a huge hit, we could not get the kids out of it! The backyard and patio was the hub of social activity. Unlike many houses we looked at to rent this house does not abut another house so we truly felt like we were at a desert oasis. Most nights of our stay we opted to remain home rather than go out, a true testament to the accommodations. Are we going to rent again.. you bet! I would highly recommend this house, it is a gem!

Our dental office staff just came back from 5 wonderful days in Scottsdale. We can't say enough good things about the house. It was exactly what we were looking for. We all had our own bedrooms, the pool and hot tub were wonderful , the kitchen had everything we needed and more. It was absolutely perfect. Our only problem is trying to convince the boss we need to come back and do this every year. If we are successful we will definitely be renting this house again. Thanks to Joe for making the renting process so easy, and to Garry for meeting us at the house and explaining everything to us. We will recommend this property to all of our friends who use the VRBO website. Thanks again!! Shelley Halyk & Friends Leduc Dental Center Leduc, AB Canada

The house was wonderful and very comfortable for three families. The outside setting was perfect for children. The pool and hot tub were such a bonus. The house was very clean, and it had absolutely everything. The pantry was even stocked! We had a hitch with the air conditioning on the first night, but we had immediate service repair the following morning, and both management and owner were very responsive.

Our group of 11 "picky" ladies found this home to be just as advertised - clean and well equipped. Located in a quiet, upscale neighborhood, convenient to stores, restaurants, golf and other area attractions. The pool was clean and the grounds well kept. All of us agreed that we would stay at this home again without hesitation.

The pictures do no justice for how WONDERFUL this house and location is. Minutes from shopping, dining, and grocery stores made it easy to navigate throughout Scottsdale. My party of 10 fit VERY COMFORTABLY and were able to make it our home for a few days. The owner along with property manager were available and easy to work with. WE LOOK FORWARD TO RENTING again!! If not this residence, from Cardinal Properties.

Loved the house and hope to return to it again next year for our 12th annual "Girl's Gabfest". The location is also the best we have ever stayed in during our annual trip. The rooms, furnishings, pool and spa, and the entire backyard setting were perfect for our group of 7 ladies. Will call early to get us on the calendar for next year. Thanks again for everything and Gary the property manager was very helpful too. Eat at Mastro's!!!

Extremely "large" and exceptionally clean. Many "gathering areas" to enjoy the company of your "family." On the music scale of rating rental homes in Scotsdale, I'd say it "ROCKED." I should write reviews for Zagat.

This home was spectacular for our girls getaway. There were 10 of us and this home had plenty of room with great amenities. The location is near everything. It is the perfect place to stay at. From the time we booked to the time we left the property manager took really good care of us too. We can't say enough about how perfect this home is.
