Southwest Style End Unit, Newly Upgraded, 1Bdrm/1Ba, (30 day Minimum)

Moved to the Scottsdale area for work and needed a long term rental with easy access to everything. This was a great place to stay! Quiet, nice areal and the owners easy to work with. Would definitely consider staying again in the future!

We stayed at this condo for the month of October. It is advertised as pet friendly and that was one of the biggest reasons we decided on this one since we have two small dogs who travel with us if at all possible. It is a condo and it is not sound proof so any future pet owners would be well-advised to check out the upstairs neighbor's disposition and his tolerance of animals. That said, we found a place in Gilbert that would take the dogs any time day or night when we were planning on being gone for the day. The condo needs electrical and plumbing upgrades. We were inconvenienced by an electrical circuit overload, a malfunctioning microwave (which was replaced by the owner) as well as water leaking from under the bathroom sink and water backing up into the kitchen sink from the dishwasher. These annoyances take away from an otherwise relaxing break in sunny Arizona. The condo was comfortable and the A/C worked which was a relief since it was very hot while we were there. The patio is very nice, we spent most of our time sitting out there and the electric grill was well used even if it overloaded the circuit. The pool is a few steps away from the back patio. The area is close to the freeway but far enough away to be quiet for the most part. The location is conveniently close to grocery stores and shopping malls. We were glad to see the bikes in the storage closet, but disappointed that the tires were flat, rendering them useless. We would have put the new tubes in the tires but there were not any tools available to do so. This was after all, our holiday, and we were not really wanting to complain about anything since that would just cut into our time away. We just needed to get away from it all for a while and we were quite surprised upon our arrival home that part of our damage deposit was held back for some questionable scratches and marks on the tile floors. We are not convinced that we are responsible for said damage and it would be advisable for future renters to do a "walk through" with the owner upon arrival and before departure.

We stayed at this lovely little condo for 3 weeks late May/June. I agree totally with the other reviews, it really is a lovely little condo. It is so nicely decorated and very clean. The bed was SO comfortable and what a GREAT shower!!! There were flowers on our arrival and a goody basket .. nice touch :) We did not meet Kathy and John as they were away but Kathy e-mailed a couple of times to make sure everything was okay..it was!! As it was low season the Racquet Club was very quiet and peaceful, which suited us completely. The pool was about 30 seconds walk from the back patio which was also very clean and well maintained (as is the whole of the Racquet Club). The condo is perfect for two and I can't fault it at all:).

The only suggestion I would make is to provide some brighter lighting from the lamps in the living area. The condo does not get a lot of natural light and although the lamps are lovely to look at they provide very dim lighting which we did find a bit oppressive (but that is just our opinion, not a criticism!)

I would highly recommend staying here.

We enjoyed our stay in this well-furnished and clean condo. The condo is in a very convenient location, close to shopping and close to the freeway, without the noise of the freeway. We enjoyed many sights and activities in the beautiful Scottsdale weather. The best and most unexpected surprise was how well John and Kathy took care of us and their home. They made us feel very welcome and were available for any concerns or questions we had. We have stayed in several condos in recent years, and they are by far the friendliest and most attentive owners.

This beautiful little condo is so peaceful & comfortable. The decorating & furnishings are one of the best we have ever experienced in numerous VRBO stays.

As well, the condo is so well appointed with "quality everything", from the bedding & linens to the cookware & cutlery. The king size bed is excellent, and tons of hot water in the shower. Another great little benefit was the built-in reverse osmosis system in the kitchen for unlimited, completely clean water.

Kathy & John as hosts are both attentive and responsive to any questions or issues which might arise. Kathy & John are included at "no extra charge" and help make anyone's stay as enjoyable as possible.

We stayed in their condo for 2 months and it felt like home from the very beginning, and a little hard to leave. We are looking forward to our next stay in Kathy & John's condo and the Scottsdale Racquet Club.
