Fantastic stay!

My family and I stayed at this beautiful home for a long weekend and couldn't have been happier. The house has everything you could ever imagine from games to cooking equipment to outdoor equipment like lawn games, pickleball paddles and pool floats. There were 11 of us and we always had plenty to do and it never felt crowded due to the huge amount of room. Check-in was informative and all communication was quick and easy. Highly recommended. Would definitely stay again.

Awesome vacation home

Our extended family spent a week and found the property to be in excellent condition with a well stocked kitchen, home supplies and especially well stocked garage with toys, games, and bicycles. We spent a lot of time in the pool, playing Pickleball, kids soccer and corn hole. The home is centrally located in the Scottsdale Paradise Valley region. Plenty of outdoor parking and one indoor garage space if desired. Property owners and employees are very responsive. Best property we rented in the area.

Stunning, Relaxing and Spacious

What a wow! The photos in the listing immediately caught my eye then seeing the property in real time completely exceeded my expectations. Firstly, we were given a wonderful tour by the greeter, Aisha. Our host, Devin, left us a some sweets, bottles of wine and other very thoughtful gifts. That was super unexpected but incredibly sweet! Then over the course of our stay my friends and I enjoyed many of the amenities. Lazy afternoons in the pool, early evenings in the hot tubs, breakfast and dinner was made in the sprawling kitchen . And we all slept so well after a few glasses of wine, sipped slowly near the outdoor fireplace. And J’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the basketball/tennis court. I hadn’t played a game of bball in so long, therefore I was glad to get a few shots up. This review could be as long as a novel, haha! But I’ll end by saying that this property is truly amazing. And central to so many stores and restaurants. I’d totally recommend it for group travel. I hope to visit again!

A Perfet Week in March 2025

Our family (Grandma, 4 parents and 4 children- 3yrs, 2x5yrs and 7 yrs) just spent a wonderful 8 days at this property. So much for the children to do: a great playground and lots of equipment provided to bike, play basketball, put-put, ping-pong, swim in the pool and hot tub, board games and a terrific house to play hide and seek. All this in addition to many great off-site activities (Legoland, Sea World, Botanical Gardens, Train Park and local kid friendly "hikes" (more like walks but just what was needed).Both the Owners (Devin and Andrew) and the Local Greeter (Aisha, the answerer of all questions, important as well as the "duh" :) ones) were extremely accessible and responsive throughout the pre-arrival process and our stay. You always have a bunch of questions in the first 48 hours and all were addressed with speed and respect. The property is beautifully kept with many, NON-INTRUSIVE and safety-conscious, support services to keep it that way (pool, garbage, landscape, bug repellers, maintenance if needed, etc.)We were glad of the pool fence to keep the 3-year-old and 5 year-olds safe, but if you don't have little ones it can be removed to enjoy the lovely landscape of the pool area without it.The kitchen was well stocked with many essentials so we didn't have to buy a lot of things that we wouldn't be able to use up and have to throw out on leaving.This is a property that will continue to work for our family as they grow up. We will definitely visit again.

This property in Paradise Valley was spectacular! My family of 8 thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Although AZ is hot in the summer, we found many activities on the site to entertain us such as ping pong, mini golf, basketball, tennis and especially swimming. The pool and spa were gorgeous. The house was large, spacious and stunning. Devin Thoms, the owner/host, kept everything immaculate and organized with labels throughout the home. She was very accommodating and ensured we had everything we needed. Aisha, their Conscierge, provided a walk-thru orientation at check-in which is rare to experience and very impressive. The location was ideal, close to everything. It was a perfect summer family vacation!

Paradise in Paradise Valley

My family and I stayed at this beautiful, sprawling property for a week and we couldn't have been more pleased. We had eight adults and four children, ranging in age from 66 to 6 months, and every one of us had a wonderful experience. It truly is a family friendly home, with a backyard full of things to do - pool, hot tub, playground, ping-pong table, pickle ball court and room to run. We were especially pleased with all of the gear for children, including two cribs, pool toys and floats, toys, bikes, stroller, etc. Except for my niece's wedding, we didn't leave this beautiful home very much at all. The home is so roomy that we all had our own personal space and we didn't feel crowded at all. We had a small issue with the pool and hot tub heater, but the owners were diligent in doing their best to get it fixed and refunded one night's stay because of the issue. They even had Crumbl cookies delivered to our group for our inconvenience. That was a big hit with everyone! We will be returning to this gorgeous property whenever we find ourselves in Scottsdale again.

Great for infants and family fun!

This house is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need to keep 2 toddlers happy and entertained (in a 5 star environment). The master suite is so large that we joked it was it’s own house. There are 2 incredible walk in closets in the master that are each the size of a small bedroom. We had our toddler sleep in one of the closets in the cribs provided by the house. Everyone had a blast - this will definitely be our go-to place to stay in Scottsdale!

About the host

Hosted by Devin Thomas

Host profile image
Hi I'm Devin, along with my husband Andrew, we've been navigating life's twists and turns for over a decade, raising two lively boys aged 9 and 11. Family comes first for us, and we love nothing more than exploring new places together, often with our parents or best friends in tow.

As graduates of Indiana University, Bloomington holds a special place in our hearts. Its bustling atmosphere and array of activities and dining spots make it the perfect place to call home. That's why we've invested in properties here, aiming to offer guests the same
comfort and convenience we enjoy.

Our journey into short-term rentals began unexpectedly when we acquired Bear's Place, a local college bar, in 2014. This prompted our venture into hospitality, and we now own & manage six properties, ranging from cozy spots in Bloomington to beachfront condos in Palm Beach, Florida, and a sprawling family estate in Scottsdale, Arizona. It's a diverse mix that keeps things interesting.

With a keen eye for cleanliness, hospitality, communication, and design, I strive to ensure our guests have a memorable experience. Our goal is simple: exceed expectations and create a welcoming environment for everyone who walks through our doors.

When I'm not busy with our rental business, you'll find me volunteering at my sons' school or breaking a sweat at Orange Theory. And when it's time to unwind, there's nothing better than enjoying a cold IPA with my husband, Andrew, or working on a new DIY project with my father.

Join us on our journey, where hospitality meets heart, and every stay feels like coming home.
