Brand New Luxury Home! Backyard, Front Courtyard, Walk To Dining/Shops/Golf/Spa

Absolutely beautiful!

We enjoyed our 8 night stay at this lovely home in the Village of Oak Creek. The property is about a 10 minute drive South of Sedona. It was nice to be out of the congestion. Very close to the Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte Trailheads. We were two couples so we had plenty of room. We enjoyed the back patio. The parking was tight. Even though the house has a two car garage we weren't comfortable putting two cars in there as we had difficulty opening car doors. We parked one car in the garage and one in the drive. The driveway is so short that we had to pull up horizontal to the garage door with the second car. This made for a lot of jockeying around when someone wanted to leave. We wish there had been a little more info in the welcome book. There were some outdated brochures about activities but no info about nearest grocery store, restaurants, etc. The one coffee shop the host mentions is closed. We drove into Sedona where there is a Basha's, a Safeway, and a Whole Foods. After a couple days we found a lovely grocery store about a mile away. The Weber's IGA at 100 Verde Valley School Road. This is the kind of info we are used to seeing in a hosts welcome book. We drove into Sedona for dinner a number of times but also walked to dinner three times. We walked to J Wine Bistro, Corner Table and Cucina Rustica. J Wine Bistro was our favorite of the three. Take a flashlight if you walk to dinner and take care at the one round about you have to cross. Our favorite hikes were Broken Arrow and Soldier Pass/Brins Mesa Loop. We day tripped to Petrified Forest National Park one day. I-17 is just south of Village of Oak Creek so you don't have to fight the Sedona traffic. The property doesn't have cable so the news junkies in our group went through withdrawal. I think next time we will definitely look for a property with cable. Also we brought DVD's along as the listing says there is a DVD player. There is a DVD player but it is in one of the bedrooms...that was disappointing. The DVD player isn't even in the biggest bedroom. We didn't watch any of our DVD's as it would have been impossible unless all four of us sat on the Queen bed in the room it was in...no other seating in the Queen room. Awkward and disappointing. This really should be mentioned in the description. Golfed one day at Oakcreek Country Club which is open to the public. It is a lovely course.

This home was close to several good restaurants, a grocery store, etc. It was an easy drive to the center of Sedona. We loved dinners/evenings on the patio.

We had a wonderful stay here. Would recommended to others. We appreciated a kitchen that has enough items to cook in some nights. Place was clean and comfortable. Also had plenty of items to accommodate for a young child.

There were four couples in our group visiting Sedona but I could not find one house that would comfortably and affordably accommodate all of us. However I was able to find two smaller houses located within a few doors of each other that would each handle two couples at a great price. While I took care of renting both houses and stayed at the other property, I spent a fair amount of time in this house as it became the group hang-out each evening. I think that was due to the fact that it had an enclosed back patio that was shaded in the later afternoon and early evening and provided an outstanding setting for the eight of us to congregate.

The house was in great shape when we arrived. Clean and comfortable and had everything needed for a great stay. The location was ideal as we had easy access to the golf courses and hiking trails in the Village of Oak Creek. Plus it was just a short walk from the house to some great restaurants (we went to Miley’s Café several times for breakfast and lunch and the Corner Table for dinner a couple times; both were excellent).

The entire process for renting the house was easy. Becky was great to work with each step of the way.
