Spring Break Paradise!
From the moment we booked this house, I knew it was the right choice! Steve went out of his way to make us feel welcome and excited about our stay! The house was gorgeous and clean with all the amenities our family needed! Lots of beach towels, shampoo, soap, kitchen utensils, etc.! Beds were great and all of the furnishings were top notch! The backyard was perfect for eating dinner, swimming, and relaxing in the hot tub! Steve was a great host and we just loved our stay! Thanks for making our spring break so wonderful!

Great Experience
Steve has a great host and was available by phone or text for any questions. The house is clean and very comfortable and in excellent condition. We loved the location and even though being close to Phoenix, we could look out on the foothills and go for a hike from the house. Highly recommend!

Perfect home for a couples getaway! The 4 of us loved the layout and pool. The women especially loved the kitchen and fantastic pots/pans. The home is located where it was easy to get to Barritt-Jackson, restaurants, grocery store, & area attractions.

Spacious home in nice gated community
Property was nice, with updated kitchen and living room. The master bathroom vanity was showing its age but otherwise it was a nice place. Only complaint was the noisy dogs barking at certain times of the day, but never late in the evening to disrupt sleep.

Great property, worked very well for our family. The property is away from Phoenix or Scottsdale area but we has the feel of a retreat. Mi or issue with hot tub (but you would expect small things with any property). I would have no hesitation to stay here for a future visit.

Great vacation
We had a great vacation! The house, host and property manager were great and easy to get ahold of. This was our first extended stay vacation. We loved the house and property! The master bed was very comfortable as were all the furnishings. Kitchen had ample pots and pans. The house was very clean and maintained. We loved the green space behind the house and the hiking trails were right out the gate! Beautiful area and close to restaurants, gym, grocery store and coffee houses. Thanks for letting us expencience AZ for a month! We love it!

Comfortable Home with all the amenities!
This was a wonderful home to escape the Chicago winter for a week! Well stocked with all the comforts of your own home. Steve, the owner, was quick to reply for any needs we had upon arrival and all instructions sent prior were easy to read and understand. The home is in a very nice, quiet, gated community with a couple of easy trails to walk to nearby. There's several malls and lots of restaurants close by, within 5 - 8 mile radius, and a Frye's grocery store. Due to covid, we used the grill several times and cooked in the oven. The kitchen is beautiful and made me want to enjoy the process of cooking! The house is easy access to the highway where you can go anywhere and especially Old Town Scottsdale area, took about 40 minutes. We took a lot of short day trips due to Covid and everything was super easy. I'd recommend this house!

Modern new home in safe and clean community. Close to outlet malls and lots of shopping. We especially appreciated that we did not have to buy condiments and spices. Steve was a pleasure to work with. We had a minor problem with the sliding door and he sent a maintenance man to fix it right away. Thank you Steve!

Fantastic Phoenix
We were in Phoenix for a family wedding and had a spectacular time! Steve hosted us, my parents and my sister/brother in law. The home was perfect for 6 adults, offered everything we needed and was in close proximity to an ample grocery store. Pool, hot tub and fire pit were over the top. While we didn’t have any questions, Steve checked in with us by text and ensured we were well cared for. Great location and superior host. Thanks for a memorable vacation!

Exceeded expectations, everything you ever need
Communication was the best we have ever had with a VRBO property. Steve was always available and easy to talk to. The place was super clean, not too much stuff to get in your way and comfortable. Directions made everything easy to use in the place. Our 10 year old son got a kick out of the game and enjoyed the hot tub. The park right next door was perfect for kids. We didn't use the other common areas such as the basketball court, etc. Tips: If you use Instacart, Fry's was close and super great selection. Two restaurants nearby, Limons and Barros Pizza were amazing and delivery on the pizza was easy. There are two gas stations nearby, a Starbucks and you are ten minutes away from a ton of restaurants. You don't need to pack or buy much for this VRBO, everything is provided. Thank you for an amazing stay and we look forward to staying again!

Jake S., Lexington, NE

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Nice house but experienced arbitrary charges, constant surveillance, and paranoid owner.
Cameras are around the whole property particularly focused on the pool area and are recording at all times via a conversation with the owner. He can go back and watch footage of your entire stay. This made the women on the trip particularly uncomfortable w/ a Big Brother type of vibe. The hot tub cover is broken and does not seal. The hot tub was dirty upon arrival with debris and discoloration in the water due to gaps from the inadequate cover. The tile is cracking around the pool and flakes off the ground and easily goes into the pool. We learned that the pool and hot tub is only cleaned on Monday’s. We arrived on a Friday night. I would not recommend staying at this property over a weekend because by the time you arrive, the pool and hot tub will already be dirty. The owner accused us for the dirty hot tub and pool and charged us an extra $150 for extra pool cleaning because we had 3 extra guests (a married couple and their 1 yr old ) stop by the house for a few hours on two separate occasions. The guests were not staying at the property and were staying at a nearby resort in Phoenix. The owner claimed this was a breach of contract and he was going to charge us extra pool cleaning fees for the extra guests. The extra guests did not use the pool or hot tub, but we were still charged because they came over to the house and were in the backyard. Overall, the amount of time we were actually in the pool was probably less than 2-3 hours total over a 5-day period and the owner charged us additional pool cleaning charges. If you plan to stay here and plan to use the pool, you should expect additional charges made up of arbitrary figures. We kept the house very clean, didn’t break anything and observed the quiet hours of the property. If you have friends or relatives that live in the area, this is not the place to stay because chances are that added fees will be charged to you if they visit you at this property. This is honestly a first for us. The property owner did not send us the contract until Friday night after we had arrived. On the contract it states that pool heating will be an additional $50/day if temperatures are below 70° and he charged us $60/day instead. The contract states that if additional pool cleaning services are needed it will be a $50 charge and he charged us $150 instead. The owner made our stay go from a 4-star stay to a 1-star. There are better VRBO owners out there, especially in the Phoenix area.

About the host

Hosted by Steve

Host profile image
My wife and I vacationed in Arizona for several years. We fell in love with the Arizona desert, sunshine, beautiful mountains and wonderful people. We purchased this home to enjoy the Arizona weather, landscape and nature along with all of the attractions in Phoenix with our family and friends now and when we retire.

Why they chose this property

We searched extensively for a property that offered everything we were looking for including a peaceful private setting, friendly neighborhood, nature trails, luxury amenities, room to grow with our children and grandchildren, proximity to shopping, fine restaurants, golf and sports. We found it all in Sonoran Foothills. The first time we walked in we knew that this was where we wanted to take off our flip flops beside the pool! It is peaceful, offers luxury amenities and spacious rooms but feels like home. We are only a 15 minutes from boating on beautiful Lake Pleasant, a short 90min drive to Sedona, 20 minutes to the NFL and NHL stadiums and outlet shopping at Tanger Outlets, 15min to Scottsdale and countless golf courses. Our home is so relaxing and offers the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the Arizona sunshine and star lit skies at night.

What makes this property unique

3000 sf bungalow located in the private gated community of Sonoran Foothills with green space and walking paths behind offers privacy and tranquility. The green space beside the house offers young families a play structure and covered picnic area. Across the street and through the security gate is the Sonoran Foothills Community Center offering a huge lap pool, water play park, tennis courts, soccer field, volleyball courts, basketball courts, bbq's, walking and cycling paths and nature paths into the mountains.
Our home is warm and inviting the moment you walk through the 8' door and into the large open area. The home features a beautiful fireplace to snuggle up in front of and enjoy a glass of wine or good book. The backyard is so private and peaceful. The only sounds you hear is your favorite music if you so desire through the patio speakers or the sound of birds singing and waterfall in the pool.
