Beautiful home, fantastic backyard, very honest and responsive owner
We have been renting homes in the Phoenix area for Spring Training for around 15 years and this was one of the best we have stayed in. The home was very comfortable, including the beds, and the amenities were above and beyond our expectations. Aside from perishable food, the owner stocks this home with everything you could possibly need during your stay. The extra little touches from the owner make it that more inviting. There is a welcome sign, robes in all bedrooms, blankets outside for cool nights, etc. The backyard is absolutely beautiful. We would have loved to use the pool but it is not heated and was too cold while we were there. We did enjoy the fire pit and the outdoor seating area with TV. We enjoy taking morning walks to get coffee and this home is located close to both a Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts, which pleased all of us. The owner is very accessible and replies to any requests you have quickly. One of us had misplaced a money clip, with cash, and we were never able to find it. The cleaning crew found it, alerted the owner, who alerted me and is going to ship it back to us. To me, this is a perfect example of the honesty and integrity displayed by the owner and the outside services they use while not at their home. We would highly recommend this rental and will look to stay here again if available next year.

Amazing townhome
We had an amazing stay at this charming townhome in Old Town Scottsdale! The decor was super cute and made the place feel cozy and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The location is unbeatable—just a short drive to all the great restaurants, bars, and shops in Old Town. There’s also a grocery store nearby, which made it easy to grab anything we needed. One of the highlights was the incredible park with a lake just around the corner—perfect for a morning walk or a relaxing afternoon. The townhome itself was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed: plenty of toilet paper, laundry soap, coffee, trash bags, and so much more. It made our stay incredibly comfortable and stress-free. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

The Sterling Saguaro was an excellent stay for me and my family. Location, location, location! Besides being in a quiet neighborhood close to everything, the location is super close to the community pool. We have active toddlers and wanted the convenience of the pool, but safety assurance so didn’t want to fret about them escaping to a backyard pool. Less than 2 doors away was close enough! The decor details were impressive! Southwest at it’s best and Saguaro hooks, pictures, and of course the actual saguaro to sit by in the backyard while eating breakfast was amazing. It was flowering while we were there in the spring and it was so cool to see birds in the area. If you need decorating tips, make notes during your stay. (I did 😜). Host was amazing. Communication was prompt. Guest handbook informative about property and neighborhood. Everything labeled well- even light switches! Handlebar helpful to get in and out bathtub; bench insert in the en-suite shower. Awesome property!

Amazing house, amazing location, amazing host!
Ginger and Rob's place was all we could have asked for and more. The house itself was clean, well decorated, and had everything we needed. The outdoor space was a huge bonus for us as we traveled from Colorado and wanted to have an area to enjoy the warm weather. The location was great-only a few minutes away from downtown Scottsdale and multiple golf courses. To top it all off, Ginger was a phenomenal host. From booking to checking out, she was available to answer any questions and checked in with us multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed. She even had cream and sugar delivered to the house for coffee! The communication was great and you can tell she cares about her guests. We are already looking forward to our next Scottsdale trip and would love to stay at this property again in the future.

Great Place To Stay In Scottsdale!!
Perfect, 2 bed, 1 bath, end of row townhouse in Scottsdale. Roomy, comfortable, clean and quiet. Easy access (front and rear) and covered parking. Stayed with my 21 year old son end of April 2025. My son said everything looked brand new and asked if anyone had stayed here before us. Fenced and covered back patio was cool and very comfortable, lots of seating, dining table and BBQ. Had the community pool to ourselves, lots of sun exposure. Minutes to Old Town Scottsdale and to the highway for a day trip to Sedona. Host Jennie was engaged, made sure that we weren't having any issues and asked if we needed anything. Highly recommend.

Awesome experience renting from Fred and Laura
My family and I were extremely happy with our stay in Phoenix area. The house was amazing. Everything in the house was like new . The patio in the backyard was great for our family to grill out or just sit outside at night and enjoy the cool night air by the gas firepit. We all loved how the patio was able to be lit up. Any questions we had were answered in minutes. Laura even provided us blankets to use to sit on the lawn at our baseball games. (Go Cubs!) We were even able to squeeze the large black van we had into the garage to keep it cool inside since the weather was in the 90's the whole week (awesome). The kids had fun going across the street and jumping in the pool (I even went over and enjoyed the hot tub) and tennis rackets and balls were also provided to play tennis. The cold water and beer provided when we arrived was an unexpected surprise! Fred and Laura were both very friendly and met us after we arrived to walk us through the house and showed us the patio lights and how to operate the grill and firepit. Thank you so much for a wonderful week staying and relaxing week your home! Oh and we were literally minutes from Albertsons (grocery store) and Starbucks (my kids were so excited to find this out)! Thanks again to Fred and Laura, we would love to stay at your home again in the future!
