We really enjoyed the property. The house is very private and the mountain views are spectacular. I had employees in town for a conference and they all commented how much they liked the rental house. I would highly recommend this property.
Home is updated, spacious and something for everyone! Multiple outdoor spaces, firepits, game room and sitting areas provided comfort and relaxation for early family Christmas celebration.
This is spectacular house in a private location. It is spacious and well-appointed inside and out. It is a great spot for large groups of friends or families. It would have rated five stars except for a balky spa that worked for only one of our three days. The property manager was very responsive and had it fixed once, but it failed again. The lighting and entertainment systems may also be a little too high tech for guests to learn over a short stay.
This stunning Scottsdale vacation rental was exactly as expected and more. It was perfect for our group 7 couples. We thoroughly enjoyed the inside of the home and the activities in the backyard. No stone was left unturned when this house was designed. They thought of everything. We had a bit of a time learning the electronic system that runs the entire house, but it all worked out. The management company was quick to respond to questions via the app. Two recommendations to consider:
1. Add TV’s to more or all of the bedrooms.
2 Add a video to the home instructions on how
to use the induction side of the cooktop.
3. Update the photo and/or headcount
for the dining room ta
I highly recommend this property and management company.
The entire house was amazing, lots of places for the kids to play inside and outside. The pool and hot tub were so fun for the whole family. It was secluded, quiet, and luxurious! The host was very responsive and helpful when needed. We loved our stay there!
Such a cool property! Quite and very private everything worked well in the house, took a little while to figure out the iPad but once we did it was great!
Our group of 6 couples had an amazing time. The property is better than advertised. Gorgeous. The setting is stunning and the spaces are so well done. No one wanted to leave!
Architecture and synergy with the surrounding hills was excellent.
HOWEVER:
1. Providing a 35 page manual on line for us to be able to operate this electronic home was ridiculous!
2. Air conditioner for the main area of the house was out. We assumed the distribution of air was poor based on there being a fan in each of the surrounding rooms which we set up to move the air from those rooms which had air into the main room but it did not help. Called the main office who dispatched someone to address and fix the problem which they did. Very uncomfortable until then.
3. The wi-fi was out or sporatic the entire stay. No TV or connection to the outside world! The service person sent could not fix the wi-fi. The main office rebooted the system but that helped only for a few hours. Engineers amongst the guests agreed that the wi-fi was not set up correctly and could be corrected by a 'qualified' person.The explanation given that "this problem never existed before" had to be incorrect.
3. The shades in the master bedroom and bathroom did not work. The service man sent spent more that four hours working to fix them but was successful with only the master bedroom. The master bathroom shade could not be fixed. Beingwaken by the sun at dawn was upsetting!
4. One garage door opener did not work and the other was missing. Very inconvenient to leave and return to the house.
5. 1386 characters is not enough.
Unbelievable house. Great views and private. All amenities and more. Takes a little while to learn electronic system that runs the house. Convenient location. Highly recommend!
We got to the property and there was a smell of either raw sewage or a dead animal. We called every day we were there for 5 days. Sometimes they would answer, sometimes not. But no matter what, they refused to fix or address the smell. It was our mother’s 75 th birthday and all were disappointed. The house is cool, the pool and backyard are great! But when you have to spend 5 days with your entire family asking and begging for relief and you are constantly being told it will be fixed and it never gets fixed, it’s just not worth it. We think it’s an ongoing problem that someone had to know about. It’s the first thing we smelled when we walked in the door and the last thing we smelled when we left. The most disappointing thing was that they knew we were having problems and no one even took the time to follow through and make sure it got fixed. I called the property manager dozens of times, to no avail. Highly recommend to stay somewhere else!
