Desert Dream

My Scottsdale rental was truly a desert dream. The home was stunning, boasting a perfect blend of modern luxury and warmth. Imagine soaring ceilings and expansive windows that flooded the space with that glorious Arizona sunlight. The outdoor space was the real showstopper, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. It was the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring, and I can't wait to return

About the host

Hosted by Neil Rosekrans

Host profile image
Hi, we’re Neil & Beth!

We’ve called Scottsdale home since 2007 and absolutely love everything the Valley has to offer. I’m originally from Houston, TX, and Beth is from Los Angeles. We met in the Bay Area, completed graduate school in Southern California, and eventually settled in Scottsdale, where we’ve built our life together.

Over the years, we’ve been self-employed and recently began investing in real estate with a focus on creating high-end short-term rental homes. Hosting is something we genuinely enjoy—whether it’s friends, family, or guests from around the world, we love helping people experience Scottsdale in style and comfort.

At home, we don’t have kids but happily spoil our two dogs, two cats, and a few horses. I spend free time playing golf, while Beth enjoys the outdoors and riding horses.

We’d be excited to host you here in Scottsdale. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions about our home or the area. We’re happy to help!
