Exceeded Expectations

We just returned home after spending 6 weeks in this lovely Scottsdale home. From beginning the booking process to finishing our stay James always responded quickly to any questions. His home is well equipped, has comfortable seating and beds, and has beautiful views of the mountains and desert wash from the patio. The pool and spa, which heated up quickly on request, were enjoyed daily. We look forward to returning to this special place.

Property was even better in person than the pictures showed. Exceeded our expectations.

The only reason we rated two items as a 4 was because we were given the wrong code for checking in. We tried contacting the owner but received his VM. However James called us back within 20 minutes and gave us a different code. He apologized for the late response. All other correspondence was very fast. The house was amazing along with the back yard and pool. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent this again given the option.

Spotless spacious rental / attentive owner

We enjoyed our stay and would return. The large space suited our group of 8 adults well, with lots of room to spread out. The house and pool were sparkling clean. The back yard was lovely and private. Beds were comfortable and AC worked well throughout the large space. Instructions for TV/Netflix, etc. were thorough and the owner was available if we needed anything. We enjoyed close proximity to Eagle Mountain and Sunridge Canyon golf clubs, 6-8 minutes away. Overall a great experience.

Wonderful few days

We had a great time at this house. It’s immaculate and super clean. The pool and spa are amazing and the landscaping is beautiful. I would have no problem whatsoever rebooking at this property. I wish all properties in VRBO were like this - sadly not the case.

Great property!

We really enjoyed the property! We loved the pool, hot tub, proximity to hiking, views, etc. The property was well stocked with basic needs and kitchen supplies. James the owner was very responsive! I do recommend reading the fine print on the hot tub and pool ahead of time. Heating the pool and hot tub is extra (which I understand), but I didn’t realize that James needs to handle the heating schedule remotely and the schedule is “semi-fixed”, so advanced planning is helpful. I didn’t read the fine print ahead of time, so we had to work out the details while we were onsite. James was very responsive and it ended up working out great. The heated pool and hot tub were fabulous. I would stay here again.

Great for families, pool/spa heat costs extra

This property checked all my boxes: very clean, updated, beautiful heated pool/spa and outdoor space, and as a bonus for anyone with little kids - had a full size crib available for use. After the pool, the crib sold me on this listing since we were traveling with a 2 year old. This is a 5 star property, however I do want to give it 4.5 stars as the extra cost for the pool/spa ($50 per day for both, $20 for just the spa) was not shown anywhere in the listing but buried in the rental agreement. I do wish this had been more transparent in the listing. Regardless, we were happy that pool had the ability to be heated as it was needed for our kids and we did take advantage of that feature. There were also quiet hours as this was in a residential area; it was listed as 9pm in the documents at the house. Not too big of a deal for us but worth noting. We would definitely stay again.

WOW!

My husband and I brought our three grown children and three younger children to Arizona and stayed in this home. It was absolutely wonderful! We had a ton of room and the backyard was absolutely Paradise- beautiful! The house and backyard are super clean and extremely well-maintained. Photos just don’t do this home justice. The neighborhood is quiet and the yard is very private with a wonderful view of the mountains and cacti and the sunsets are gorgeous. The owner is very quick to respond to any questions and the entire process was super simple. It’s so wonderful when a place exceeds your expectations! There were a couple of days that yard maintenance/pool maintenance men showed up unexpectedly and we were caught off guard a bit so it would be nice if there was a notice about the maintenance schedule posted somewhere in the house or in the information that is given about your stay just to give renters a heads up and there were a few small items that we didn’t have in the home (like wash rags - we had to buy our own- and some kind of casserole dish or 13x9 cake pan to bake in and maybe a hand mixer) but overall we absolutely loved staying in this home and we hope to do it again one day!

Beautiful Home with Incredible Pool

We had a wonderful time at this property! It was very clean, well stocked, and communication with the owner was very quick and easy. The location of the property was great, although we had so much fun at the house that we rarely left. My children spent the majority of the day in the pool from early mornings into the evening. We did pay to have the pool heated, at the suggestion of the owner, and it made our time even more enjoyable. I highly recommend staying here!

Couldn't have asked for a better experience

Group of 5 guys in our 30s. The place itself is fantastic. Better-than-expected. Very spacious and clean inside, well-marked labels to help work the electronics. Great sound system that spans the entire house as well as outside. The back patio steals the show: Amazing sunset views and great pool/hot tub experience (worth getting these heated). Spent every evening out here. James - the host- is incredibly attentive. We had several specific requests throughout our stay, which he attended to almost immediately. Couldn't have asked for a better setup. Great spots to hike right around the corner in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve (such as the Sunrise Trail to Sunrise Peak). About 20ish minutes to the heart of Scottsdale, which worked perfect for us, but something to consider if you wanted everything to be walkable.

About the host

Hosted by James Fried

My wife and I enjoy vacationing in comfort. This home has been set up for us to enjoy all that Scottsdale has to offer. We both have come down to Scottsdale numerous times and decided to buy in Scottsdale because there is so much to see and do. In Scottsdale you are always guaranteed good weather during your stay.

Why they chose this property

This property has everything you need and is close to all ammenities in the Scottsdale Area. It is just renovated and has new furnishings. The property has amazing views in the backyard as well as a private heated pool and spa to enjoy day or night. This property is located in a quiet neighbourhood backing onto a reserve to allow you to relax and enjoy Scottsdale's beautiful weather in quiet. We have set up this home up to be enjoyable and comfortable for our guests to get the most out of the stay in Scottsdale. We hope people love this home the way we love it and recommend it to their friends and continue to come back to enjoy what we enjoy about the Phoenix area.

What makes this property unique

This property has lots of space and is a great home for multiple guests. The great room opens up to show off the backyard with the impressive swimming pool and spa as well as the views overlooking scottsdale mountain and camelback mountain in the distance. The home is in central scottsdale so all shopping, golf, hiking trails and water sports are a short car drive away.
