Photos and Description of the Rio Verde vacation studio rental
Studio, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2)

Here's an affordable way to experience scenic Rio Verde with its mountain and desert views, and easy access to dozens of golf courses, dining, shopping and all the great attractions of the American Southwest.

Enjoy outdoor cooking, dining and TV watching in this quaint southwestern style guest casita. The indoor space features one bedroom, sitting area with TV and a full bath in 350 sf. Outdoors you can relax in the 350 sf covered patio area which houses the living/ dining space, a TV, and a well equipped kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave/ convection oven, dual hotplate, barbecue, ice maker, blender, coffee maker and toaster. This well sheltered patio area is attached to the casita and has walls on two sides. It is heated by propane patio heaters and a gel fuel fireplace, and is adjacent to the pool and hot tub.

The Rio Verde Golf & Country Club offers a one week golf membership at $200 per person for unlimited golf on their two Tom Lehman designed courses. (Check out their website for more details.) Tonto Verde and Vista Verde offer three public courses within 2 miles, and there are dozens of courses within a 15 - 45 minute drive. Heated pools, a hot tub, a workout room and tennis courts are available at the community center.

Wifi and telephone are provided, including unlimited local calls and up to $20 of long distance calls to the US and Canada. Laundry service is provided for sheets and towels and guests may access washer/dryer facilities in the main house if necessary. A Magellan navigational system and a plug-in cooler are available for your use at no extra charge. Small, friendly dogs are permitted with advance notice and a pet deposit.

There's nothing better than enjoying a drink in the hot tub while checking out the stars.

Desert casita

The casita was perfect for two people. Well decorated, clean, convenient to the rio verde country club and fountain hills. The outdoor kitchen and living area complimented the ambiance and simplicity of the property. The outdoor pool and hot tub were very enjoyable. The owners live in the house adjacent to the casita and were very accommodating. I recommend renters be flexible, tough and understanding that weather conditions and desert animals may affect their experience. We loved the casita effect!

Golf Vacation in Paradise

5 of 5
Submitted: April 6, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
My wife and I just returned from a 2 week stay at this lovely Casita accomadation. We had an absolutely fabulous 2 week stay, the owners Ken and Pat were very helpful with local knowledge of golf courses/deals, local hiking and biking trails, etc, etc. It was like having our own courtyard with pool and hot tub as we rarely seen the owners throughout our visit. The accomadation is set up very well with a comfortable indoor bedroom and sitting area, complete with flat screen TV and an amazing cable package. A large attached tiled bathroom with a huge tub and shower and for us the best part of all was the outdoor covered kithen and living room c/w another TV mounted above the kithen area, 2 eating tables with 4 chairs, an awesome Jennair gas grill (my favorite kithen feature) 2 comfy couches and a coffee table to enjoy the morning sun with your coffee before heading out for that morning Tee time. The outdoor kithen and living area is equipped with 2 large space heaters for those cooler evenings (we never needed them as the weather was awesome for our 2 weeks) The indoor bedroom/sitting room and bathroom are air conditioned for those hot afternoons when you need a break from the pool deck lounge chairs and the afternoon Arizona sun. The hot tub has a Shiatsu neck massage feature that my wife (a registered Shiatsu therapist) found very useful after numerous rounds of golf during our stay. Overall we rate this accomadation very highly and if you have not explored the North East portion of the valley, give Rio Verde a try, the golf courses are challenging, yet affordable, the Parks and trails are spectacular and if you want shopping/restaurant options, Fountain Hills is only 15 mins South and North Scottsdale 15 mins West from Rio Verde.

We spent a month at the Casita in Rio Verde and had a great time! Ken and Pat are wonderful hosts and very accomodating. The location was excellent for our needs and close to a number of activities and fine dining opportunities.
The outdoor cooking area was awesome and met all our needs. We would definitely go there again.

Charming and comfortable accomodations and very hospitable land lords. The walled compound made sun bathing every day of my monthlong stay a therapeutic pleasure even in January and early February. The nearby town of Fountain Hills has all the amenities of grocery stores, library, restaurants and shops only 15 minutes from the door by car while still being up in the foot hills and out of the traffic of the city. Watching the full moon come up over Camelback Mountain one evening was one of the high points of my stay. I was less than 45 minutes from downtown Scottsdale with lots of shopping and the zoo and Desert Garden. Next year I plan to go further and see more of the mountains and the Rio Verde valley.
