Excellent Stay in Scottsdale

As part of our trip to Arizona (June 2024) we spent a full week in Scottsdale. I travelled with my family (my wife, 2 kids and in-laws). We stayed at Chris and Melanie's property for the full duration (7 nights). Everything was perfect. We were all super comfortable in the house. The house is well equipped. The beds, water pressure/temperature, air condition, and cleanliness were a 10/10 for me. The location is excellent, quiet, nice neighborhood. Everything is close: restaurants, groceries, Starbucks, etc. Moving around the Scottsdale area was quick and easy. I would stay here again without any hesitation.

North Scottsdale gem

The condo was great and had everything we needed for our trip. It was clean and in a very nice area. Close to the 101 Freeway so easy to get around. Host was easy to contact and the check in and out was easy. The only issue we had and it's not major, is that the Hot tub was not working in the complex. Golfing everyday it would have been nice to have a functioning hot tub. Other than that it was a nice place and would stay there again

We enjoyed a wonderful vacation. The pool and spa worked beautifully. All the furniture, from beds to outdoor lounger, was extremely comfortable. The view + sunsets were stunning. Location is fabulous. Communication with the owners (John and Kimberly) was exceptional from booking to check out.

Open concept with plenty of seating to entertain and enjoy a nice meal

Great family getaway spot

We had a blast with the kids in the pool, walked to the great local park, hiked the trails in the mountains, and sat out and drank wine under the stars after the kids were tucked in. What an awesome time!
