This is a very new, beautiful, modern home. Amenities are off the charts. For frame of reference, my wife really wanted to stay at Enchantment (she’s a resort kind of gal) and was mad at me for going the VRBO route. Let’s just say I was a hero for a change.
My teenage (14, 17, 19) boys loved the old school table video games, and the ping pong table and shuffleboard in the garage which is used as a game room and the jacuzzi. In addition to the jacuzzi, the back deck is huge, with great seating around the fire pit, a Traeger grill and the really cool reflexology walk that feels very Sedona.
We had no intention of cooking but had some friends also in town so decided more fun to hang out and grill steaks than try to take 10 of us out to a restaurant. Kitchen is super well appointed with high end modern appliances including a nespresso (with plenty of pods!). Provided good basics like plastic wrap and parchment and even basic spice selection. Only tiny thing missing was a sponge or brush to clean dishes!
Other considerations:
—Location is superb. A short walk to the heart of uptown where there are plenty of places a short walk or drive for coffee, breakfast and lunch and maybe a 15 minute walk to Tlaquepaque.
—Note that most of the mainstream retail, like groceries, drug stores, etc., is in West Sedona and traffic coming back through the main intersection can get bad. A trick is to cut through the Hyatt parking lot either driving or walking.
—View from the deck was quite good. Not quite as unobstructed as the pictures show but still very good.
—Brand new large TV with YouTube TV provided and a Sonos sound system
—Nice big laundry room, detergent provided
—Beds are comfortable. linens nice
—Sliding doors weren’t the best for sound insulation
—Master had huge closet and large bathroom—even had a Japanese toilet! It was right off kitchen.
—One guest BR is essentially a converted office extension of the main room with wide sliding doors so by far the least private. Had a bath with shower in the hall. Still worked fine.
—Other BRs were in a separate section “casita” at the front of the house and had their own good sized sitting area / kitchenette and shared a bath.
—Plenty of parking for multiple cars.
All in all a wonderful, professionally run rental and probably the best VRBO experience I have had.
