Photos and Description of the Paradise Valley vacation house rental
4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, sleeps 9 - 12, desert sanctuary

This home is a desert sanctuary! Extremely quiet acre lot nestled in the nicest & most convenient location in Scottsdale/Phoenix ... Paradise Valley. Only 8 minutes to Spring Training fields! This is an oasis where you can unwind, swim, ponder and relax in 3200 square feet of fully furnished luxury. The split floor plan has a Master Suite w/ pillow top king bed, full bath & sitting area open to pool. Master Bdrm. #2 is huge with a full couch, desk, twin bed, separate entrance & queen sleigh bed. Bdrm. #3 has a full bed for 2 adults and African artifacts from our travels. Bdrm. #4 has 2 extra long twin beds for adults or kids. The kitchen is a gourmet chef's dream with a large granite island, stainless steel high-end appliances, an eat-in bar, wine chiller and serving dishes galore.

Set down your bags and shift gears to 'relax' in this fantastic home of the desert southwest. Wake to the sounds of Gambel's quail and Love birds who nest in the Saguaro cactus out front while cottontail rabbits nibble at the grass. Cool off in the huge chlorine-free diving pool or sip margaritas on the patio while grilling your favorite foods. When the day is ending, see the wonders of the Arizona sky come to life at sunset. Bring your camera. Why go out to the many world famous restaurants a stone's throw away when you have a fully stocked gourmet kitchen with granite everywhere, stainless steel, double ovens, 5 burner infrared cooktop and more sure to wow your family and friends? Serve your delicacies in the large sunken dining room that easily seats 10+. In the cooler months, enjoy the crackle and ambiance of the wood-burning fireplace set in the magnificent onyx wall of the family room or catch a Spring Training game at the fields just minutes away. Later, retire to the elegant yet comfortable living room under the cool ceiling fans to watch a show on the huge brand new 60 inch high definition satellite smart TV or return to the patio for excellent star gazing. Fall asleep on your 16 inch pillow-top mattress dreaming of all of the activities you want to do tomorrow just 5 minutes away from the house like golfing, tennis, hiking, biking, shopping ... or maybe do those after just one more perfect day at 'Casa de la Paz'.

About Alison

We have lived in the PV area for over 17 years and are in love with the mountains, wildlife and desert surroundings of this community that still sits in the heart of the city.

Alison purchased this house in 2012
Why Alison chose Paradise Valley

This house has a special charm that is simply Arizona in a quiet, rustic and welcoming way. The porches everywhere and the natural beauty of the desert drew us in immediately. There is an open indoor-out feeling to this home with windows all around. . You feel apart of it all from the birds chirping in the saguaro out front to the last bit of red sunset over the mountain view. It is luxurious yet comfortable, relaxing yet memorable.

What makes this house unique

This home is in the perfect location. It is a blend of true relaxation at the house with a hub of activities nearby. Our quiet acre is less than a mile from the best restaurants, activities and cultural events the city has to offer. Why spend time driving through traffic from the far reaches of the outskirts when you could be relaxing with a book, taking a dip in the pool or blending up some margaritas with friends instead? It is really a special place that our guests never want to leave!

This house was by far the best we have stayed in yet. It is very well appointed and all your needs and wants have been thought of and taken care of. It truly is luxury accommodation. The house is spacious, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The location is perfect - not too far from anywhere and lots of shopping right on your doorstop. We would highly recommend staying here. Thank you Alison for a wonderful week.
Owner's Response: HD and Cathy - we loved having your international family come to our home. You all were absolutely perfect guests! Come visit your daughter again anytime!

Wonderful Golf Getaway

Submitted: April 29, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
This house was fantastic for a golf trip to Scottsdale with a bunch of buddies. Alison was very thoughtful and responsive, adding so many personal touches for our stay. The house is in a great location and was very comfortable for a large party. I couldn't recommend this rental more highly. Thanks again.
Owner's Response: Jeff - you and "the guys" are welcome back anytime! So glad grillin' poolside helped you relax and cool down and after your back to back golf rounds. We will hold you all a spot in the Spring for your 2014 reunion!

Cheers,
Alison

Family Wedding Weekend

5 of 5
Submitted: April 27, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Our son was married the weekend we were there. This home provided enough space and family fun with the pool, big screen TV, and a well stocked kitchen.
When we arrived there was a bottle of wine, cheese, crackers and flowers with music playing in the background. The home was clean, furniture and the decor is top shelf. The backyard with all the lights on at night is beautiful. It was located in the perfect spot, close to grocery stores and restaurants.
This home has it all! Alison has thought of everything! I would highly recommend this property and I hope to visit again!
Owner's Response: Julie - I am so glad the wedding and your entire trip went so well. The house really is in a fantastic location and close to so much - glad that made all of your wedding festivities more relaxed. Come back again ... SOON!

Spring Training Bucket List

5 of 5
Submitted: March 26, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Going to spring training in the warm sun of Arizona can be checked off my official Bucket List. Staying at Alison's house in Paradise Valley was the perfect home base for us to stay. The location is ideal for attending games, restaurants, shopping, hiking or walking the beautiful neighborhood. We had all the comforts of home, plenty of space to spread out, cook, tune in NCAA March Madness, or sit quietly outside with a cocktail or coffee. If you're a bird-nerd, watching the love birds fly in and out of the large, mature saguaro from the front porch is fascinating. Alison, made our stay fabulous with her attention to detail and warm hospitality. She arranged massage therapists to come to the house for our group to have poolside treatments...perfect!

This will be an annual event from now on and we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else! From the 6 of us, thanks for making us feel like family!
Owner's Response: Toni - we loved having your sweet group from the Midwest come warm up with us in AZ! We look forward to your return visits each Spring! Take care - Alison

The house and location was everything we were looking for and more. We had all the comforts of home with a beautiful setting and yard. The location was great for visiting Old Town and also easy access to hiking and walks. The backyard was perfect for our wedding and we accomodated 26 guests very easily. The entire wedding and reception was handled out doors and was perfect. The owner was a delight to work with and was close at hand when we had any questions. I would definitely stay at this beautiful home again

Owner's Response: Gary and Deb - what fun it was planning your wedding at the house! I am thrilled that you all chose our little desert hide-away. Dancing under the stars until midnight with family and friends sounds like the perfect way to celebrate. Many congratulations and best wishes!! Alison

Our New Giants Spring Training Headquarters!

5 of 5
Submitted: March 13, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Ten grown men seized control of this house for a three-day weekend and the house and host took us into their warm embrace and treated us like ten kings! Plenty of room to stretch out and loaded with accommodations, we soaked in the quiet of beautiful Paradise Valley. Everything we needed (groceries and restaurants) was a stones throw away, but Allison really went out of her way to make sure we didn't need much (There was even some beer left in the fridge!). To say that Allison was greatest host ever would be an understatement. We make an annual March pilgrimage to Spring Training, and after five years I think we found a permanant home!
Owner's Response: Christian & "The Guys" - it was great having you all enjoy the house for your Spring Training trip! I am so happy the house had the space all 10 of you (over 6 feet tall :-) needed to spread out and enjoy the games, grillin' and time together. You were wonderful guests and we are so happy to have your back next year! Beers will be on ice again in March. Cheers - Alison

Wonderful Vacation Rental!

5 of 5
Submitted: February 28, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
When we walked in, the house was extremely clean & well organized. There was a bottle of wine along with brie and crackers waiting on the counter as a welcoming for us. The house is very spacious but has a cozy atmosphere. We did a fair amount of cooking and we were able to find everything we needed in the kitchen. The front porch area was lovely for lounging around and really enjoyed watching the peach faced lovebirds. There was baskets left by the owner of complimentary toiletries in case you forgot to bring anything from home. The home is in a great location. The owner is extremely friendly and willing to help out with any needs or questions about the area. I would love to stay at this vacation rental again!!
Owner's Response: Donna - we simply loved having your Canadian group vacation with us. It was very impressive seeing all of the guys putting on such a gourmet meal for you all! I am so glad the space and grill worked for that special Valentine's dinner. When you get cold up north again, just give us a call would love to have you all back to visit anytime! Take care, Alison

Great Get Away!!!

5 of 5
Submitted: February 13, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
Our group, hailing from the Great Northwest, travelled down to Arizona for a little break from the rain and cold and in turn had a wonderful week at this home. It's a great location with very little travel to any of the many leisure activities the area has to offer. We came with 3 couples and accompanying 2 singles...everyone had more than enough space to celebrate together, find a quiet corner to read or lay in the sun, or lounge on a couch. The owners were very accommodating and truly concerned with making our experience a pleasurable one. During our stay, the owners were available if we needed them but did not intrude on our privacy. Even once we had departed, Alison went out of her way to return an item that had been left behind. Highly recommend this location for families too. I have a family of four and will be looking to book the house again come next spring. Thank you very much the hospitality!

Best spot in the desert!

Thank you, thank you!
We arrived to find a nice bottle of wine on the table and scrumptious goodies in the fridge! A wonderful spot for a family of six or more as the rooms are huge and plenty of room for all of us to spread out! The location is perfect to access sporting venues, restaurants, and shopping, and of course for relaxing! We took time to sit on the front porch while the love birds chirped in the trees. To top it off, our Oregon Ducks won the football game, so it was a perfect visit!
We will be back!
Thanks again!
Owner's Response: Pam - We are thrilled you had a great vacation AND your team won the game! We are so glad we could get your family in for the Fiesta Bowl week of activities to start 2013 off right! See you on your next visit.

Happy New Year! Alison

Fun for family wedding

5 of 5
Submitted: January 6, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
This property is so comfortable for a group. We rented in for our stay in Phoenix for our daughter's wedding. We were able to make the wedding cake in the large kitchen and have a small brunch after the wedding so that the happy couple could open gifts. Alison is so organized and gracious. She has everything labeled and a notebook with all needed instructions. It leaves you with no questions. She even left a Christmas wreath on the front door and a bottle of champagne for the wedding couple.I would definitely rent this property again should the need arise.

Owner's Response: Rhonda - It was great having your family and the "wedding kids" in for the holidays! I am so glad all was so smooth for all of your family gatherings and especially the big brunch at the house. We hope you come back many more times while visiting the newlyweds!

Best,
Alison
