Thank you - we appreciate the feedback. A fantastic stay. We are so glad your group had the opportunity to experience North Scottsdale. Thanks for the tip on Butters for breakfast and sharing your endorsement of Thompson 105 - featured in our local guide. Desert Escape was designed to help guests relax and recharge.

Clean, comfortable and quiet! We have nothing but good things to say about our stay in this condo. There were a lot of thoughtful touches that showed that the hosts cared about their property and their guests. A welcome basket with snacks, dispensers with shampoo, body wash, etc. in the bathrooms and literature to help us find good restaurants, stores, hiking and biking trails, etc. Overall a wonderful experience!

About the host

Hosted by Ed and Deborah

Host profile image
Deborah and Ed are avid travelers and VRBO fans. We decided it was time to get into hosting so we could "live like a local" when visiting family and friends. Arizona holds a special place for us and our family and we are excited to share a Desert Escape with you!

Why they chose this property

We chose Desert Escape because of its proximity - walk to morning coffee and a wonderful market, see the mountains out the windows, ride the bike trails and desert, and access the 101 within minutes. Beyond 85260, Scottsdale is the gateway to all the Southwest has to offer - the entire valley, Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Tucson, Mexico, Las Vegas, California, New Mexico and more!

What makes this property unique

We have been vacation rental travelers for a decade and made sure to create an experience we would love. Our little touches include tons of USB ports, an induction stove for safer cooking, soft surfaces including area rugs, pillows and throw blankets, smart home features, and the local knowledge on how to get around and love staying in Scottsdale. Our reviews consistently note good sleep quality, feeling at home, and enjoying the VRBO experience.
