Scottsdale Oasis is a 2000+ square foot, separate guest house located in the heart of Scottsdale, Arizona. This house is the one of two houses on the property available for lease. (The owner's occupy the main house.) From the moment you drive into the driveway and see the Jim Sudal welcome sign flanked by native cacti and a stunning rock sculpture, you know you have arrived at a very special place.
The interior is filled with timeless mahogany furniture, custom seating areas and lots of art with an emphasis on the southwest. The oversized master bedroom has a Westin Heavenly Sleep pillow top king-sized mattress with 1600 thread count 100% pure Egyptian cotton linens and a closet big enough to be called its own room. You will enjoy a Bose radio/CD player in this bedroom. The private en suite bathroom is equipped with an oversized shower, double sinks, a make-up vanity and an abundance of storage space. The second bedroom, located on the other side of the house, boasts a Westin Heavenly Sleep queen-sized mattress with the same luxury linens and an exit to the patio where you can enjoy the barbecue, fire pit and view of Camelback Mountain; as well as the 6' onyx and marble fountain that hosts many hummingbirds looking for a shower or a sip of water. A Bose radio/CD also graces this bedroom. Feel like curling up with a book? Do so in one of the two very large Queen Anne chairs in the separate sitting room. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything we could think of. If you can't find what you need, let us know; we will do everything possible to get it to you within a short period of time. If you want to set up your computer or write some postcards, there is a built in desk in the kitchen. A wireless printer is there for your convenience.
This house also has a dedicated parking spot in our covered garage which leads into the backyard and to your home-away-from-home.
When you enter the property from the driveway or garage, you will pass by the main house and turn a corner to find a beautiful oasis in front of you. There are so many interesting sights; objects d'art and many rock features including a petroglyph rock all framed by beautiful landscaping going from desert plants to a lush, tropical feel surrounding the refreshing pool. The shared pool has a large shelf with chairs and an umbrella if you feel like lounging in the water. Just beyond the pool is the small pond with soothing waterfall. There is also a double lounger outside the front door if you want a comfortable place to sip on an iced tea and read a book. You know you are on holiday!
The back of the Scottsdale Oasis boasts a private, custom barbecue built in 2014. It might be difficult to keep your eyes on the grill as you enjoy the majestic beauty of Camelback Mountain right in front of you. Don't miss the fire pit! Nothing beats sitting by the fire pit with a glass of wine on a cool, desert night. This backyard is also home to our own mini desert botanical garden filled with many species of cactus and succulents. Just behind you is the orchard which has over twenty fruit trees from grapefruits (pink & yellow), oranges, tangerines, pomelos, lemons (yellow & pink), limes & pomegranates. In season, you are welcomed to help yourself to as much as you would like. Two bicycles are here for your exclusive use while you are staying in the Guest House. The canal, which is just a couple of minutes ride away, provides endless paths for you to explore our great city and its fine parks and golf courses.
Interested in turtles and tortoises? There are three fenced environments on the property: one with a 150-pound African sulcata tortoise, one with rescued box turtles and the last with rescued desert tortoises (indigenous to Arizona). All three of these environments are located discreetly to the side of the property, or in the front, so if this is not your cup of tea, you will not even know they are here. This house is also home to dogs. If you are not a dog-person, we will keep them out of your way. If you enjoy them, they will offer you a dog-fix while you are away from home! Many hummingbird feeders are placed around the property. Arizona hosts the largest variety of hummmingbirds in the United Sates, so you will have many opportunities to see different varieties and enjoy their antics as they feed, protect their 'personal' feeders and bathe/drink from the fountains.
Our Central Scottsdale location and proximity to the 101 Freeway makes this location unbeatable. No matter why you are here, or what you are doing, you are only an easy walk or drive away.

PLEASE NOTE: We only offer 30+ day rentals. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Simply luxurious and relaxing!

To call this home a "rental" is completely off base. This home is a private resort impeccably furnished with new upgraded and gorgeous furnishings and objects d'art throughout. Karen is a courteous and thoughtful hostess, and she took extra care to ensure that our Thanksgiving holiday was a special one. The beds were so comfortable, both bathrooms and the kitchen were fully stocked with everything you need. We grilled a couple of meals on the built-in custom BBQ and the fire pit was enjoyed by all. Downtown Scottsdale is a close drive for restaurants, shopping and night life if you desire. I am confident that you will enjoy a luxurious stay at this beautiful home.

Molto bello!!

Very beautiful!! All the previous reviews are perfectly accurate. The Oasis is an exquisite gem in the desert. Bob and Karen have created an absolutely beautiful home in a gorgeous desert setting. The home is outstanding, and the description, while accurate, can hardly do it justice. The home lives much larger than it appears in the photos. The Master Bedroom is huge and the Master Bath is perfectly appointed. If you enjoy cooking, rest assured that Karen has provided all the tools necessary to create a fine meal. We travel with our own sharp Chef's knife, but didn't have to use it. You will find that the home is populated with unique artwork by local and international artisans. It is like living in a high-end art gallery. The grounds also include numerous pieces of art and sculpture. The property is meticulously maintained and is in pristine condition. Enjoying the fire pit with a glass of wine is a great way to wind down the day at the Oasis. This home's location can't be beat, as one can easily walk to restaurants and shopping. The Arizona Canal and Indian Bend Wash trail are also close by, and provide miles of walking and biking trails. I challenge you to find better hosts than Bob and Karen in the entire VRBO system. Every need is met or surpassed, and they genuinely make you feel at home. Last but not least, if at all possible you must have Karen introduce you to Harry the turtle. He is remarkable, and his story is fascinating! Book it! You will love it!

A 6 STAR DIAMOND OASIS

We are somewhat reluctant to express how truly magical this oasis really was ,because then it will be harder than ever to book this gem again! The best part of all is of course the warmth and kindness of the owners. From a welcome of goodies and champagne to the many special touches throughout our stay. The house is in fabulous condition ….so well maintained and furnished. The grounds are spectacular….so artistic and the fruit trees add such a lovely background for the many birds….especially the hummingbirds. Sitting out by the fire at sunset and looking at the view of the mountain in the distance is something we will remember for a long time. It was a very very special treat to share this lovely home.

Exceptional!

What an amazing home and amazing hosts! The location was perfect, with easy access to everything. That said, the home and setting are so beautiful that there were many times we really didn’t want to go anywhere else. We had everything we needed here, and then some (great beds, kitchen appointments, and artful touches throughout). Karen and Bob are so warm, gracious, and responsive...they made us feel like guests of the family rather than renters.

True Oasis in Scottsdale!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is wonderful, both inside and out! From the beautiful décor and comforts inside, to the tranquil setting outside every detail is thoughtfully looked after. The owners are excellent hosts! We will look forward to future visits.

Awesome!

There is not much more to be said that has not been said in earlier reviews. We thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility and comfort of the property. Fresh citrus fruits, songbirds at the fountain, a lovely home and awesome landscaping...what's not to like! You will never find more attentive or generous owners than Karen and Bob!

Beautiful home and wonderful owners. The attention to detail from silverware to landscaping is off the charts. Had a wonderful month in this home and wished it was longer. Karen and Bob couldn't have been more attentive . My entire family thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

LOOK NO FURTHER! THIS OASIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO STAY IN SCOTTSDALE!

This is "hands down" the best VRBO we have ever stayed at!!! If VRBO allowed, this would have been rated a 10 star stay! Karen and Bob are meticulous hosts, very easy and delightful to work with from the initial booking to our last day of stay. The home is beautifully appointed with every detail thought of and the artwork is truly spectacular. Our every need was met and exceeded! The beds were so comfortable that we plan to order the same mattress for ourselves! The unique and spectacular desert landscaping is better than at any 5 star resort! We loved relaxing on the private patio in the back of our guesthouse while enjoying the view of nearby Camelback Mountain. The location is truly amazing. This is a tranquil and very quiet oasis despite the fact you are right in the middle of beautiful Scottsdale. AJ's fabulous specialty grocery store is only two blocks away. Fabulous dining, shopping, galleries are only minutes away by car. We stayed from Dec 13, 2014-Jan 2, 2015 and were very sad to leave this beautiful Oasis Resort that Karen & Bob have graciously shared with us. We carried home so many wonderful memories of our holidays spent in this VRBO. This is a special find and the only place we would consider when we return to Arizona! Thank you Karen and Bob for such a delightful stay! Terri and Carl

Wow and Triple Wow!

The guesthouse was exactly as described on the VRBO site. What makes us give the place a Triple Wow is the incredible attention to detail of our host and her warm and welcoming manner. I will not list the details of the meticulous preparation for our visit but it covered everything from providing all the small starter things that you typically have to purchase upon arrival to a lovely starter breakfast items for the first day. Everything worked! Everything clicked! I only hope that our review won't mean that somebody else grabs this place when we want to return.

Fabulous home to totally relax. Everything was picture perfect. The photos do not do justice to this beautiful home that is fabulously decorated with very special touches you frequently do not find in rentals. The best of everything: beds like heaven, wonderful linens, everything stocked with high end products, gorgeous furnishings, china, Bose music systems, etc. The bedrooms are on opposite sides of the home which is nice for privacy if you have 2 couples. The bathrooms are huge with wonderful showers. The home is impeccably clean. Truly the most spotless home we have rented anywhere in the world. The grounds are amazing. The orchard was laden with fruit of all kinds- lemons, limes, grapefruit, oranges, etc. which the owner told us we were welcome to enjoy. There are multiple patios to enjoy while relaxing, eating, sun bathing or whatever suits your outdoor time. Every evening we spent around the fire pit which is mesmerizing with its colorful glass coals. Karen, who owns the property with her husband could not be more thoughtful and helpful. A wonderful place to stay in a perfect location that was conveniently located to everything. You will not be disappointed if you pick this wonderful home.

Immaculate. Stunning. Relaxing. A True Oasis!

There is simply no other way to describe this home - it is truly an Oasis! Every detail to ensure a relaxing stay was attended to. Early morning walks around the nearby golf course were the perfect way to start the days, and the outdoor firepit in the evenings was an ideal spot to relax and unwind. The nearby Cosanti Foundation - where the famous Soleri windbells are made - is definitely on the "must see" list. One of the most gracious hosts of any home I've rented. I hope to return again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Kline

Host profile image
After spending time in Virginia and California, we moved to Guam in the early 80's and enjoyed 10 years of great travel throughout Asia with our children. Even though we were working, it felt like an extended vacation! As high school and college years were looming in our eldest child's life, we decided to move back to the mainland, choosing Scottsdale as we were looking for the warm climate we had become accustomed to, and also loved the beauty of the foliage here. This was important after living on a lush, tropical island!

Why they chose this property

We recognized this property as a 'diamond in the rough' and have taken the last 20 years to build it up, piece by piece, until we feel we have our true dream property. We literally jackhammered up the backyard, from our back door outward, forming it into a park-like setting with many interesting facets and features including a koi pond, multiple fountains, beautiful boulders and even a large petroglyph.

What makes this property unique

While we live in the main house and absolutely enjoy having visitors, we also appreciate the fact that many of our guests are looking for privacy. We also enjoy our privacy and therefore are very respectful of your time and space with us.

We do have an additional 1500 square foot unit on our property containing: one-bedroom, one bath, full kitchen and powder room. If you are traveling with others, or additional family members who need their own space, please inquire about it. This may be occupied by other guests during your stay.
