Beautiful place to stay in Sedona

Our family stayed at Happy Javelina house during December and had a great time. The house is really well equipped and maintained. All the beds were comfortable. Views are amazing, especially in the morning and evening. Location is excellent - short drive to everything. We loved the variety of games and had so much fun playing pool, shuffleboard etc. Communication with property manager was always prompt and efficient. Would definitely recommend!

Great stay but just a few suggestions: there was no Kleenex in the house; some instructions on how to access regular TV; one of the blinds in the master bedroom didn’t work properly.

Perfect Sedona Stay

We just left Happy Javelina and I cannot say enough about how wonderful this house was. We had two families staying and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out, tons of room in the kitchen for meals and it was very well-stocked. It was just beautiful and so clean. Excellent location, we were never more than 30 minutes from hikes or swimming holes. The beds were extremely comfortable. The kids loved the game room and hot tub. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Amazing views

We can’t say enough good things about this property. Such an amazing location with trails close by and had something for each age group too look forward to enjoy each night after a day of exploring. Our teen and tweens took time off their devices to play games together in the game room each night. Feel lucky to have found this place and will be back for sure!

Our family enjoyed a great weekend at the Happy Javelina! We played games, hiked, prepared meals and relaxed on the beautiful balcony overlooking the gorgeous Sedona views. This home is in a great location - close to hiking, swimming, restaurants, art galleries and shops. Thank you for making our time together so special! This home is anything but a "boar"! :)

So happy at Javelinas

What an incredible place - a beautiful home with fantastic views in a nice, quiet neighborhood not far from everything Sedona and the surrounding area has to offer. All of us said we would come back not only to Sedona, but specifically this place. All the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is full stocked with appliances and gear, great water pressure and hot water, plenty of dining space, a cozy fire in the expansive living room, cable TV with easy access to streaming services, even an easy to operate driveway. Excellent experience.

Beautiful Home in a Beautiful Location

This home is perfect to stay at with your family or friends. It's quietly set in a dead end neighborhood with a gorgeous mountainous backdrop. My kids and I loved the game room and spent hours playing golf and pool. The beds and furniture were extremely comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked for all of your cooking and grilling needs. While sitting outside star gazing one night we had a small herd of Javelinas casually make their way across the backyard and driveway then later in the week we saw a few coyotes as dusk. We have stayed at a lot of short term rentals and this one is very close to the top of our list of best stays. You will not regret booking this home, it is an absolute delight from check in to check out. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. Thank you!

Absolutely Beautiful and Well-Appointed House with Majestic Views

I spent a lot of time researching accommodations that would optimize our experience as a group of six friends spending a few days in Sedona to celebrate my birthday. This house was exactly what I was looking for. The amenities and space met all our group needs for a relaxing vacation. The house was clean, generally well maintained, and located in a quiet tranquil neighborhood. I loved the house’s architecture, interior finishes, tasteful decorations, and overall aesthetic. And the views are amazing! I would find myself in awe of the red rocks each morning as I pulled the blinds in the primary master bedroom. Photos can only convey so much when it comes to Sedona’s beauty. The layout of the Happy Javelina house facilitated a communal experience. It is very spacious with plenty of seating options for gathering while also providing space to disperse. I loved meditating on the back deck with the beautiful terrain in the backdrop. We prepared all our meals at the house and the kitchen had ample space for multiple people to cook and hang out. The jukebox Bluetooth speaker was a nice touch! Each bedroom essentially had its own area of the house. The beds were super comfortable; I slept very well thanks to the comfortable mattress combined with Sedona’s peaceful quiet. We had a few observations during our stay and the property management was fairly responsive. Sedona is a truly beautiful and special place and this house was a key highlight of our experience.

No Regrets

The house is beautiful with stunning views. It is conveniently located near town and had lots of places for hanging out, lounging around and/or entertainment. The kitchen was well stocked with items to easily prepare meals and there was a second smaller fridge downstairs which was convenient and helpful. The men and kids really enjoyed the pool table and Golden Tee. We never had time for Shuffleboard, but there were so many game choices. We are very happy overall with our rental choice. The downsides: with 3 separate families, 3 bathrooms were a necessity for us, but 2 are connected to a bedroom and most of the locks didn't work. We created a paperplate system around the doorknob to warn others that the only "community" bathroom available was in use. Also, the balcony room and bunk room were too hot to sleep. We were fighting over the one fan provided in the middle of the night as we were sweating, and my son was crying cause I took their fan from the bunkroom. We ended up having to purchase another fan and leave doors open to help cool those specific rooms, as well as drop the thermostat lower than the requested 73 degrees. The room connected to the master with a baby bed and full were also stagnant and unable for a teenager to use due to temperature. They slept on the couch instead. In the winter I don't imagine this is a problem.
