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 freeways:
Despite the bustle all around, your home base is located a residential neighborhood, 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.
Pets with additional fee.

This home was perfect. The amenities were over the top! The layout was great with awesome outdoor space to relax! The host was great to communicate with from booking to during our stay!
A quiet location with quick access to the city. The house is extremely comfortable with a lovely back yard. The property manager is attentive and professional. As a side note, the property’s app makes everything easy.

Thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear that you found the house comfortable, the location quiet, and the property manager attentive. Your feedback is appreciated Susan.
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.
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.
Everything was great except the stove was inoperable

The oven shelves can be tricky if not placed in the correct position and we don’t know why. This is the first time someone hasn’t been able to work with it and we offered to let them leave and refund unused nights.
They declined.
We are nevertheless replacing the oven shortly.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The home was very well equipped, communication with host was great. It has a big back yard with big trees. Everything went very well. I would recommend it to anyone!
We enjoyed this property for approximately 3 months while our home was being worked on. The property was very clean, spacious for a family of 4, and had all amenities needed plus some. The owner was very quick to respond to questions.
This property, the owner could not have been more accommodating. Everything you need to cook and bake for family, the backyard is gorgeous and a great place to have a glass of wine as you while away the evening! Thank you so much Beth. We will be back!

The staff was very helpful for my first Home Away from home sty. I will stay at this Desert Oasis rental again in a heartbeat.They were accommodating to my two Puppies and very understanding of what animals needs are.The stay was perfect for me and everything as advertised. Pleased very pleased.
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.

Reviewer Comments:
My husband and I spent 3 months in this lovely home. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed for meal making. We loved sitting out on either the front patio or in the backyard watching the hummingbirds, butterflies and garden come to life with blooms. We enjoyed riding the bikes that were available for our use, riding the nearby Indian Bend Wash path. Great location for restaurants and hiking too. The house is well represented by the photos. Beth was a pleasure to work with. Liked it so much we'll be back next year!
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.
This property was comfortable and convenient for our activities. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of pots and pans and dishes. We enjoyed cooking some meals with all needed tools in the kitchen!! We had great weather and very much enjoyed our stay

My husband and I found this home very comfortable, clean, and in a convenient quiet location. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was very well equipped, and there is a pleasant fenced back yard with furniture for lounging and grass for our dog. We appreciated the bicycles in the garage for use on the off-road paved trails very close to this neighborhood. We would highly recommend this property in north Scottsdale.
