About this property

Find Your Happy Place at Scottsdale Desert Oasis

  • Combining city convenience and lush seclusion, Scottsdale Desert Oasis lives up to its name, and then some. Find three bedrooms, two baths, and a breezy, open layout with vaulted ceilings, skylights and outdoor access from multiple rooms - open the glass doors for seamless indoor/outdoor living. (There’s central air, too, of course!)

    Perfect for re-locators seeking their “forever home” in the area, or as an adventure basecamp, a snowbirds' nest, or a relaxing retreat for families. Whatever brings you to Scottsdale, be sure to take a quiet moment to sprawl out on our hammock under the leafy shade of mature trees and breathe in the citrus-scented air.

    Speaking of “sprawl”...you may have heard Phoenix/Scottsdale has a lot of that. Opinions are mixed, but it’s undeniable that our north-central location makes the most of Scottsdale’s continued growth. Everything you need and want is nearby, with easy access on and off the motorways:

    • Scottsdale resorts/spas: 5 minutes
    • 101/105 Motorways: 5 minutes
    • ASU: 30 minutes
    • Restaurants: 5 minutes
    • Groceries: 5 minutes
    • Airport: 30 minutes
    • Hiking trails: 10 to 20 minutes
    • City centre Phoenix: 20 minutes
    • Central Uptown: 15 minutes
    • North Scottsdale/Troon/Pinnacle Peak: 15 minutes
    • The Arizona Biltmore: 15 minutes
    • Desert Ridge: 15 minutes
    • Bike path/Hayden Greenbelt: 5 minutes
    • Camelback Shopping District: 15 minutes
    • Old Town Scottsdale: 15 minutes
    . Westworld: 15 minutes

    Despite the bustle all around, your home base is located a residential area, nestled between Gainey Ranch and Paradise Valley, where you can “live like a local” for as long as you’re here. The house’s large, corner lot only adds to the quiet, and is one of the reasons I didn’t sell the house after spending 13 years living here!

    Guests say the fully equipped kitchen is a lot of fun to cook in, and we’ve stocked it well for that purpose. Feel free to select from our herb garden in the yard and citrus fruits from the trees (when in season) to enhance your meals. Serve your meal at an 8-person farmhouse table. Or dine al fresco in the yard. There are also gas and charcoal grills for you to use.

    After dinner, retreat to the den with its wood-burning fireplace and a large flat-screen with Dish network cable TV and Starz. Or grab a bottle of wine gather around the outdoor fire pit.

    Don’t leave your dog at home; we’re pet-friendly (for an additional fee). They'll love the yard, too!

    Bed and Bath

    Desert Oasis has three bedrooms: one master suite and two guest bedrooms that share a bath.

    The master features a queen bed, flat-screen TV, sliding glass doors to the yard, and an arched entry to the en-suite bath, which has a tiled shower/floors and glass block windows for both daylight and privacy.

    The guest bedrooms have a queen bed and a full bed, respectively, and their shared bath across the hall has a tub/shower combo and travertine tile.

    A separate office space is ideal for getting work done. We even provide the computer! Or inflate the Aero bed to sleep extra guests - there's an armoire in this room for their clothes.

    If there is anything we can do to help you plan your trip to Scottsdale, please let us know! We spent many years here and know it well.

Relaxing fun time

We had a great time and the house had all of luxuries and amenities that we were looking for. Our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (a fetching maniac) loved the large lawn backyard daily for endless hours. A very convenient location for easy trips to town.

geting some sunshine

we decided to drive to Scottsdale from Tacoma with our dogs for a longer stay. The home worked our beautifully for that. The back yard was perfect for the dogs. They enjoyed running up and back, it was very spacious.'The home was comfortable, with TV's in every room!It was rather cold in Scottsdale for our stay so we werent able to stay ourside and use the patio other than one day. We though that it was a good location to get to friends and restaurants. I enjoyed the walks with the dogs. Safe, quiet neighborhood. We had a great time.

Ideal place for a Phoenix metro area stay.

The home was nearly perfect for our needs — clean, plenty of room for two of us, dog-friendly, well-stocked with cooking and eating supplies, beautiful neighborhood in Gainey Ranch, and extremely well-located for easy access to stores, golf, and sights. I’d re-rent it in a second on our next extended stay in Arizona.

Home base

We were here to compete at the agility world games at Westworld. We spent long days there so it was nice to have a comfortable place in a great location. The hall bathroom shower needs better water pressure and the king mattress needs replacing (we sunk down). All in all easily remedied and we would stay here again.
