Villa de Paz
we had a great stay beautiful place great location

Orchard Cottage, Heated Pool and Hot Tub
I can definitely see why people have booked this place 10x+! First the directions, instruction and recommendations could not be more clear and helpful, time was taken to get every detail. The property is in a gated community and parking was easy even with our Tundra. The property itself is absolutely beautiful! Heated pool, hot tub, beautiful, secluded outdoor entertainment area and seating. Even with the pool area being communal, it was quiet and easy going. The little house we had was perfectly private, bed was comfortable, place was clean and super cute! The tortoises are awesome! Thank you Diana for sharing your space and having anything and everything you may need. We came to deal with family loss only, but we would absolutely like to return to vacation!

Tuscany Retreat in North Scottsdale
Scott was great and it was very easy to get checked in. The house is very unique and cool. Our dogs were in heaven in the back yard and the pool area was beautiful and serene. Turbo the tortoise was a huge hit with our grandson and we loved seeing him everyday. Thank you Scott it was the perfect place for what we needed.

Billiards/Ping-Pong/Pool/Hot Tub/Fire Pit & More
A great place to stay! Overall pictures were well represented when we got there. Pool and hot tub were great as well as the putting green and pool table! The rain showers were awesome in the rooms with the king size beds. I would recommend blackout shades for the windows. The hosts were very responsive and answered any questions quickly. Had a great stay and would recommend this place!

Resort style home w/heated pool premium amenities!
We really enjoyed our stay! The space was clean, comfortable, and had a great layout with tall ceilings that made it feel open and airy. It was the perfect spot to relax after exploring the area. The location was super convenient—just a short drive to downtown Gilbert with lots of great restaurants and shops. We’d definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others!

Private Oasis on Acre Lot with Chef's Kitchen
Marks home was a wonderful oasis. Our family loved being in a great area with a wonderful backyard and pool. The pool was a great depth for my younger children to play an enjoy. The inside of the home was spacious and inviting with a wonderful kitchen. All appliances and amenities were top notch.

Beautiful Home Centrally Located, With Pool
This was a lovely home with a very nice pool area in the backyard. We came in early April, so it wasn’t quite the full heat of summer, but the house stayed very cool with several fans running. It was easy to find, park, and get in to the place. We greatly enjoyed our stay and adventures in Phoenix!

Centrally Located Chandler 2 bedroom 2 bath
Great location in Chandler! Everything we wanted to do in the greater Phoenix area was within 30 minute drive time. Great neighborhood walking path that we used often. Close to many great restaurants. Would recommend staying here.

Arcadia 6 Q beds 3 bath, patio Camelback! 8888
This was my first trip to Arizona . I was graduating from university of Phoenix and this Airbnb was ideal for me . It was 15 minutes from the airport and 25 minutes to Chase field where the graduation was being held. Chris is a great host, I like him and will definitely recommend his place. He is reliable and accessible. He respond quickly to my questions before the trip and thought-out the trip. The house is Beautiful , comfortable, and clean. It had all the amenities listed. It’s close to a lot of place and was easy to find . I did suggest that he put a television in the other two bed rooms . I am not a television person but my family members mentioned it . The master bedroom was the only bedroom that had a tv, and the living area did too . Thank you Chris for the accommodations !!!

Oldtown Scottsdale Desert Oasis 4 BR/ 2 Ba Lush
Great experience at Gail’s place. Such a cute, clean accommodating place. Very comfortable. Lots of condiments in the refrigerator and cabinets. We forgot to pack coffee, but no worries! They had some there. The bonus was the spa in the backyard. We loved the beautiful surroundings while relaxing in the spa! I would definitely recommend this Airbnb!

The place was cozy and spacious. All the instructions were very clear, and the host was incredibly kind and responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

Old Town Family House - Sleeps 26
We had an amazing time at Blaine’s beautiful home! Stocked with everything we could possibly need! The quiet suburban neighborhood fit our needs perfectly. The pool was warm enough to swim despite the cooler weather. Beds were comfy with tons of pillow and blanket options. No complaints from this Canadian! 10/10

Comfortable, spacious home with idyllic views.
Honestly, I would recommend this location to friends and family! It has such a beautiful view wonderful pool, and right by so many incredible golf courses. What I liked most is that it was in a very safe and secluded community while still being close to everything.!

Comfortable home with 4 bedrooms that worked great for us, our 2 young kids, and our parents. Yard is a great play spot for kids. All the essentials are there for cooking. Would definitely return

Beautiful Desert Lakeside Beach
We recently came back to Gilbert to stay for the holidays and found this townhouse. It turned out to be the perfect place for our family! Everything was extremely nice and new. The kitchen was perfectly stocked and we were able to make dinner there every night. The complex is in a very nice location in Gilbert and the amenities including the hot tub and pickleball courts were lots of fun. Sophia is an excellent host and great to work with. We are already planning to book here again when we return this summer!

Sunny Home Away From Home. Easy access to Valley.
Darolyn is the bomb!!! We drove 1800 miles with a dually truck, trailer, motorcycles and our large dog. Darolyn’s communication from the beginning was exceptional. She explained how parking would work and there were no surprises! Her place was PERFECT for us! We have a Neapolitan Mastiff and she was right at home. We brought her kennel and set that up in the living room. It worked really well. Our dog easily learned how to use the doggy door and loved it. FYI, there’s a huge dog park a couple miles away on Carver Rd. We went there everyday. Our dog will miss the new friends she made 🐾 The beds were so comfortable and I loved having a TV in the larger one. The shower head was delightful and the pressure was excellent. We couldn’t have asked for anything more in the kitchen. It was well stocked and accessible. Loved having a washer and dryer available and use of one side of the garage. The patio was very comfortable and the privacy blinds were great at night. Thank you Darolyn!!

Modern dog friendly tiny home in Mesa Spirt Resort
Mary was friendly and responsive. She resolved a small checkin issue quickly. The bed was comfy. A workout room on the property was nice. Small dog potty area close by. Orange tree in the back. All in all it was great for the week.

Two Sisters Cottage
Every time we stay we feel like we’re coming to our Phoenix home. It’s comfy, clean, and welcoming. It’s the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had. Thank you, Spyros!

All About Scottsdale
Desert living comes with an air of sophistication in Scottsdale, with more than 200 area golf courses and 50 luxury spas. Located in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert at the bottom of the McDowell Mountains, the city sits in the center of the area’s cultural hubs: a few miles south of Paradise Valley, six miles north of Tempe, about 13 miles northeast of Phoenix, 20 miles southwest of Fountain Hills, less than 20 miles southeast of Glendale, and 30 miles south of the Western town of Cave Creek. With upscale dining in North Scottsdale, shopping centers in Kierland Commons, vibrant nightlife in Old Town, and plenty of natural wonders to explore — whether it’s hiking Camelback Mountain or driving the Apache Trail — every Scottsdale experience comes with a distinctly Southwestern flavor.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Scottsdale
With 330 days of sun a year, it’s always the right time to pack light clothing for a Scottsdale visit. The sizzling desert heat reaches triple digits in the summer, with average highs above 100 degrees Fahrenheit and lows in the high 60s and 70s from June through September. Winter days remain warm with highs in the high 60s to low 70s, but lows can dip down into the high 30s and 40s, so always carry a jacket or extra layers. March, April, and November strike a balance, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s — the perfect months for outdoor adventures without the scorching heat or the chilly night air.
