We stayed in this home, March 12-21, while we were in town for my daughter’s wedding. We loved staying here! The location was awesome. Very close to Old Town Scottsdale, Tempe Town Lake, and close to Sky Harbor airport. The backyard was a dream. Lots of seating. We paid extra to have the pool heated. I’m glad we did, because others who were in town for the wedding, weren’t able to use the pools where they were staying. It was warm enough, during the day, but it gets cool at night. I think that is why the water was cold. The kitchen was nice and roomy, which was great, because I was putting together welcome boxes for our wedding guests. The decor was really cute. Several items were from local artists. One of my favorite things, was a skylight over the vanity in the master bath. Awesome for makeup application. The beds had lots of different pillows, which I really appreciate, because I have neck and back issues. I felt safe in this neighborhood. Many friendly neighbors waved at us. There were six of us staying at the home, and we were very comfortable, although we would have liked seating for one more in the living room. I recommend this location.

We wish we could stay longer! In a quiet neighborhood sits this wonderful townhome that offers every amenity you have at home and more. Even our kids didn't want to leave and they are hard to please at times. Meticulously decorated with an attention to detail for comfort, this townhome surpassed our expectations. Our family spent a long weekend in this Scottsdale unit and there was no worry about having nearby entertainment. A very short distance to shopping and an abundance of restaurants, we hit Fashion Square and even took in a few games at Chase Field. And, we had no worry about forgetting to bring something. This townhome had it all! Games for kids of all ages (threw some darts as soon as we parked in the garage), a fully-stocked kitchen, and a nice office space in case you need to knock out some work. And, let's not forget about the rooftop patio! A fantastic place to unwind and relax.

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!

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.

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.

We had a group of 6 girls and we all LOVED everything about this place! The backyard was absolute perfection. We were in the pool all day with the floaties and the most comfortable pool lounge chairs. The lawn games were also a hit. We spent the evenings under the covered gazebo with the fabulous fire pit. The house was very clean, beds were super comfy, kitchen has everything you’d ever need and a huge tv for all of us to watch our shows. Lastly, the location was perfect. It’s on a quiet street and really close to Old Town. Heidi was so kind and responsive and made sure our stay was perfect. Don’t miss out on this property!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! The pictures don’t capture how beautiful this house is, inside and out. The owners made the pre check in process a breeze with helpful and timely info, the house guide is very thorough and well thought out. The owners were extremely helpful throughout the whole stay and answered questions quickly. The neighborhood is great, quiet and away from main roads and traffic noise but still close to everything that you would need. The house is the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in for an Airbnb, probably cleaner than most hotels. Every room is well laid out. It's hard to decide which one to spend time in, the smart TVs are great to have and the seating is all very comfortable. The beds and linens all feel new and high quality, the beds are on the firmer side (which we prefer) and super comfortable. The BEST part of the house is the backyard and the pool, perfect in every way, we spent most of our time outside sitting by the pool, swimming, and relaxing. The pool is so clean, the shallow portion with the pool loungers was so nice to have, the sun shade strung overhead and the night lights that turn on make the backyard worth the stay alone. It really is hard to describe how stunning the backyard is, you have to see it for yourself. We would not hesitate to book this again, we all wanted to go back as soon as we drove away. The hosts are super helpful and made the experience even better. Easy 5 stars for this house and the hosts!
