• Good location and yard for kids

  4/5

  Overall a very nice property for families with children. It has a great backyard with plenty of toys for kids. I liked the separate fence around the pool with latch on top where little fingers can’t reach. The property backs up to a busy road , but there is a concrete fence around the property so we felt safe. It was a little loud, but if you have children that is a good thing as the street noise drowns out the kids noise and the music from the neighbors and the college across the street. I would have rated this 5 stars, but some simple things are run down and really should be addressed. The floor molding around kitchen counter pops up and has tacks sticking out of strip. ( not good for toddler, we just put the strips up) . More concerning is the material under the molding, pellets of insulation (perhaps?) that the 2 year old called popcorn and wanted to eat. Also the closing spout in the bathroom doesn’t work. I was able to wrap washcloth around and the water stayed in the bathtub long enough for a toddler bath. The master bathroom is beautiful and works well. A few simple fixes and easily a 5 for families. If I travel to Phoenix again with young ones I would definitely stay here again.

• Family Time Getaway

  4/5

  The property was great for the little ones to play outside. Everything was nice and clean, nice linens, and the kitchen dishes, utensils, etc. was extremely well stocked for preparing meals. The one thing I would have changed is due to our family's preference for sleeping in darkness. The wooden shades do not block-out the sunlight well. Solid shades or adding curtains to the bedrooms would make the property perfect in my eyes.

• Spacious family friendly home close to Scottsdale

  5/5

  Beautiful homey house with a truly "lived in" feel throughout. We were on a weekend trip to a foodie adventure at Scottsdale Quarter and some lite hiking at Piestewa Peak and Camelback mountain. The house is in a cul-de-sac in a safe neighborhood with a two car large garage and plenty of parking space in the driveway for two mid sized vehicles. This was great for a post hike trip. We were able to drive in directly to the garage and unload our gear then walk directly in to the house. The home is perfect for families on the go. The space sleeps 7 very comfortably and has tons of amenities to keep kids busy. From a ginormous bean bag to sink into while watching movies, to tons of outdoor fun activities in the large backyard. Our soccer star could not get enough of practicing his goal kicks, while our little mermaid soaked in some rays near the gated pool.

  The house itself is clean and beautifully decorated with tons of great features throughout. There's a coffee bar to delight any parent in the early mornings and a large space to seat your family during mealtime. The foosball/pool table in the family area was great to keep the kids entertained while the parents prepared for the day's outing. The grand kitchen is a chef's dream. The bedrooms each had a spacious area to sleep in with plenty of clean sheets. The bathrooms were tidy with nice water pressure for those long post hike showers. The backyard had several outdoor spaces to accommodate every person's preference. You could barbeque, relax, swim, play, or just smell the roses.

  The location was perfect! Close enough for those luxurious foodie taste tests experiences at Scottsdale Quarter restaurants but far enough away from the lights, traffic and noise that go along with any large popular venue.

  We are a "no shoes in the home family", so we try to keep carpets clean from any outdoor dirt. This carpet does have a "lived in" look, but it was clean and we appreciated not having to stress about keeping up appearances with a pristine carpet. It made our stay there much more relaxed and worry free.

  The host can be easily reached and responds in an adequate time frame.

  We hope to be able to stay here again upon our next Phoenix adventure!

• Perfect for Visits

  5/5

  An open floor plan with a great backyard and pool. Rooms were great to stay in and everything was cleaned upon arrival and easy to clean up upon checkout. The only nit-picky thing is it’s on a main road so you can hear all the traffic if the doors and windows are open. I would stay here again!
