THE DESERT DIAMOND — Your Private Resort-Style Retreat in North Scottsdale
Gather your closest friends and family in a sprawling modern home where everyone has plenty of room to play, relax, and make memories together. This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is built for groups—think resort-quality backyard with pool, hot tub, four sports courts, stunning modern interior, and a location minutes from world-class restaurants, shopping, and hiking. The pictures genuinely don`t do it justice.
THE BACKYARD — Your Private Recreational Oasis
The 0.8-acre backyard is the heart of this home. Multiple guests have told us the photos don`t capture what it`s really like to stand out there and see it all come together. You`ll discover distinct zones: resort-style pool with optional heating, bubbling hot tub, fire pit lounge with seating and smart TV, covered dining pavilion with table seating for 6, lounge chairs overlooking the water, and a full recreational area. Sports lovers will find volleyball court, pickleball court, basketball court, ping pong table, horseshoe pit, cornhole, bocce ball, and a 4-hole putting green.
The nighttime experience is especially memorable. Thoughtful lighting around the pool and yard creates an inviting glow after dark, drawing groups outside to stargaze and enjoy the Arizona climate late into the evening. Whether you`re hosting a spring training trip, multi-generational family celebration, milestone birthday, or an epic friend getaway, there`s enough activity and seating that no one feels crowded—people naturally drift between spaces throughout the day.
Pool heating available at $80/day (3-day minimum). Without heating, November–February water temperatures typically range 40s–50s; with heating, mid-70s. Weather conditions may vary.
INTERIOR — Modern, Open, Built for Groups
The moment you step inside, the open-concept living space strikes you—natural light, clear sightline to the backyard, and a sense of space. The living room features stylish leather sofas with pillows, smart TV with HD sound system, granite coffee table, and board games. A comfortable reading nook with sofa chairs offers a quiet retreat if anyone needs downtime.
The kitchen is genuinely impressive—a fully equipped gourmet space with massive island (seating for 4) that naturally becomes the gathering hub. Quartz countertops, full suite of appliances (microwave, stove, oven, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher), wine cooler, Keurig coffee maker, complete cookware and dishware, and everything you need for home-cooked meals. The adjacent dining table seats 8, so you can feed the whole group together.
BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
The home sleeps up to 12 guests across four bedrooms:
- Master Suite 1: King bed plus sofa bed, ensuite bathroom
- Master Suite 2: Two queen beds, ensuite bathroom
- Bedroom 3: Queen bed
- Bedroom 4: Queen bed
Three spa-like bathrooms throughout—two ensuite, one centrally located. All include soaker tubs, showers, vanities, towels, hair dryers, and essential toiletries. A pack and play is available for infants at no additional cost (guests with babies consistently tell us how much this detail helps).
LOCATION — Peaceful Neighborhood, World-Class Access
Located in North Scottsdale, you`re in a peaceful suburban area with spacious lots and established homes, yet strategically positioned near everything that matters:
- Kierland Commons & Scottsdale Quarter (upscale shops, restaurants, entertainment): 2–3 miles, 5–8 minutes
- Old Town Scottsdale (galleries, nightlife, cultural attractions): 5–7 miles, 15 minutes
- Scottsdale Fashion Square (premier luxury shopping): 6–8 miles, 15–20 minutes
- Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX): 12–15 miles, 15–20 minutes

- World-class golf courses and country clubs: typically 10–25 minutes depending on your destination
- OdySea Aquarium & Butterfly Wonderland: 10–12 miles, 20 minutes
The neighborhood offers the best of both worlds: you`re close enough to enjoy Scottsdale`s restaurants, coffee shops, and attractions without feeling urban. Many guests find they rarely need to leave because the property feels self-contained and resort-like—but when you do venture out, everything is minutes away.
