About this property

Picturesque SW Desert Living, Very Private Pool, Hot Tub & Cruiser Bicycles

Enjoyable outdoor living! Private solar heated pool w/waterfall, poolside lounging area, covered patio, gas patio heater, gas or charcoal BBQ, hot tub, beautifully landscaped & securely fenced yard, surrounded by huge saguaro cactus and natural desert plants.

Spacious home w/kitchen & family room looking out to the pool through a wall of windows. Relax in the family room couch & recliner, gas fireplace, & 40” TV. Well equipped kitchen w/granite counters, stainless appliances, center island, & filtered drinking water. Living room w/leather sectional & 47” TV. Secure wireless internet, office w/leather love seat, desk & printer/fax. Huge master w/sitting area looking out to the pool & door to the patio/pool and hot tub, 32” TV, master bath with private commode, corner tub, shower, 2 vanities & walk-in closet. Front-load washer/dryer. Explore the area on a pair of stylish, comfortable “Cruiser” bicycles.

The home is situated at the end of a cul-de-sac so the neighboring homes angle away from each other. Trees and bushes screen the view of the back yard. This provides a very private pool and patio area. You don't get the feeling that the neighbors are watching you. Since these pictures were taken, for safety issues we have added a fence between the house and pool.

The pool is solar heated. If you want to swim in an 85 degree pool between October through March, you need to find a home with a gas or electric pool heater. The solar pool heater consists of a series of manifolds on the roof made of black tubing that the water is pumped through. The black tubes absorb heat from the sun. This heat is transferred to the water, warming it up. The pool temperature is dependent on the amount of sun there is and how clear the sky is. It will heat to within 10 degrees of the outside temperature. If it is an 85 degree day, the pool temperature will be around 75 degrees.

Located close to Cave Creek, an interesting western themed town with unique shops, great restaurants and outdoor bars.

Convent to numerous golf courses.

Shopping: The closest grocery is AJ’s Fine Foods, a “high end” store with lots of deli and specialty items along with a Starbucks 1 mile north on Scottsdale Rd. Safeway store and gas is 2 miles north along with Target, Office Max, restaurants and shops.

Wedding and honeymoon

The house is breathtaking, the hot tub is hot. And the pool was very refreshing. We were amazed by the beautiful kitchen and the grill out back on the patio. My wife and kids got to enjoy the sun rises with a hot cup of coffee and a refreshing dinner out back over looking the desert.

My favorite

We’ve rented quite a few homes & this one is my favorite! Everything about it is great. Owners are responsive and friendly. The way there are things that we didn’t have to go purchase. The furniture is homey and not like some of the ‘look’ good but aren’t comfy. Thanks for the great home. I will be back!

This was our second time staying here and we loved it even more than the first time! Dale is super easy to communicate with and everything at the house was just perfect! We spent all of our time in the pool and ate every meal alfresco on the patio. We can't wait to come back again!

House and pool beautiful. Bed extremely comfortable. House stocked with everything. Only small complaint would be the 5 pm check in. Seems a little late and we rent VRBO homes frequently. All and all completely 5 * plus.

Spring Training

Overall it felt like home. Cozy, clean and fairly well equipped. The mattresses, sheets and pillows were not first rate. The guest bedroom at the end of the hall on the right had a Matt that sagged in the middle and the guests kept having to readjust. The pillows are out of sorts and almost non-usable. The sheets were made of some polyester that was off putting and made you very warm. Needed to provideInstructions for the HVAC. We had a great time, the kitchen dinnerware and silverware were wonderful. A mention that the pool was NOT heated would have helped the description. Brrr.

Beautiful home in North Scottsdale

Dale and Ann’s home is beautiful. It looked even nicer in person than in the pictures. Having wanted to come to Arizona for quite some time, I had always heard Scottsdale was the place to be. The shopping, restaurants and bars were fantastic, and many had a really cool, trendy atmosphere. Locating the home and check in were so easy. It was absolutely spotless and in perfect condition. The quiet neighborhood is perfect to take a walk in the morning, and is conveniently located right off of Scottsdale Rd, just a few minutes from shopping and other amenities. A nice perk was being able to park in the large garage to keep my car cool from the desert summer heat. Most of my time was spent floating in the pool. The back yard is so peaceful and very private, the pool was very clean and the built in water feature was a nice, relaxing touch. I would love to come back and stay at Dale and Ann’s home again. They’re great hosts and have an amazing property. I was back and forth between another home to stay at and I’m glad I decided on this one. Don’t pass this one up!

Beautiful Home in a Great Location!

This home is clean, spacious and beautifully appointed with local artwork. The location was perfect to get to all of the Spring Training venues we visited. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make dinner at "home" every night. We spent every evening in the backyard enjoying the sunsets, desert views and clear skies. I'm giving a rating of only 4 stars because there are a few shortcomings; without those I would have given 5 stars: The listing says the pool is "solar heated" but there isn't really an active heating system (that we could find) - I think "solar" means the sun heats the pool later in the year. We didn't use the pool because the water was too cold. While in the backyard the road noise sort of spoils the serenity of the space. It can't be heard while in the hot tub with the jets on, but otherwise the noise is a bit of a distraction. Check-out was easy but getting the sheets and towels through the laundry by the 10 AM deadline is a real challenge. If check-out were 11 AM it would be no issue. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dale's home and would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous property and very comfortable stay! We had everything we needed and the pool was so relaxing during the hot AZ days. The house is a little far from downtown Scottsdale (with traffic), but that didn't effect the fun we had. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby.
