The house was perfect for a group vacation. It was clean, easily accessible, and the outdoor space was a blast for our friends. I would recommend this to anyone looking to have fun with a large group.
We had a wonderful time in Scottsdale. The house was beautiful. We really enjoyed the pickleball court. The location is great. I would highly recommend staying at this home.
This was an awesome place to stay at, couldn't recommend it higher to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Scottsdale area.
There are plenty of amenities throughout the house and it's in a great location.
Gus was very responsive and able to accommodate all of our requests.
Had a group of 14 - was a great house! Pickleball court and heated pool were a big hit. Location is great and Gus made the check-in and check-out process a breeze. Highly recommend.
The property was absolutely stunning! There were plenty of supplies available and everything was very, very clean. The check in process was easy and the communication was great. We would definitely recommend this place and stay again in the near future.
We take our family on a trip once a year, so there are 10 of us. The location is perfect, close to Old Town, near the highway, Talkingstick Casino. Pickleball and the pool were a hit! We had plenty of room and the house was clean! Highly recommend this property.
Wonderful stay at Villa Makena! A few issues came up during our stay and Gus was outstanding at quick response and resolving the issues immediately, made for a great stay, best vrbo stay we have had! The outdoor set up was so fun, three families staying at the house and kept all ages having fun and hanging out in the backyard with plenty to do.
A fantastic property - no reason to leave your backyard! The layout of the house is perfect for an adult getaway. Adequate bedrooms and bathrooms for all, within a beautifully decorated home. The pickleball court is a big hit, and a super grilling and outdoor eating space. We loved our stay!
House is fabulous. Gus met us upon arrival and was very helpful. Highly recommend this as the location is close to groceries, hiking, golf, and restaurants
Hope to stay here again!
Property was very functional with plenty of room. Great backyard. Only issues were two bathrooms extremely weak on hot water and the coffee maker didn’t work. We would stay again. Nice place
Beautiful home! There were 3 families, total of 9 people . We had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for every one to have their own space. Everyone enjoyed the pickle ball court as well as the beautiful backyard.
We had an amazing experience. We had 20 people from our church stay for the weekend. We spent HOURS enjoying the pickleball court! We also enjoyed the heated pool and putting green. There was plenty of space in the bedrooms, though we did have to get pretty close to fit all of us! Gus was also super helpful annd very responsive to messages. Overall, we had an amazing time, and I would highly consider going back!
Imagine a gals getaway weekend to celebrate a besties birthday… pickleball, pool, tasty beverages, yes please!
We arrived promptly at check-in and were giddy to spend the next few days in this little slice of pickleball heaven. In between games and merriment during the hot summer hours, we cooled off in the pool.
Gus was helpful, friendly, and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We will definitely stay here again when time and opportunity presents itself.
This was the perfect property for our family. Each bedroom has its own full bathroom, which makes getting ready for the day and cleaning up after the adventures seamless. The outdoor and indoor living space fit all six of us perfectly we always had something to do, even in our downtime when we were not out and about. The location is perfectly situated to get to restaurants, shopping and daily adventures. Very centrally located. The neighborhood was safe to walk through morning and night. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Arizona!
A+ on the beds!
Kitchen lacking….only 10 forks, 6 coffee cups, 6 tall glasses. It was hard to cook for 12
BarBQue was too dirty to use until we cleaned it
Showers in master and queen bedrooms were very slow to drain
Backyard was fabulous!! We especially
loved the pickleball court.
It was a perfect place for our family, except for the kitchen!
A Perfect Stay for Golf Enthusiasts in Scottsdale!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a stunning designer house in Scottsdale during my winter golf trip, and it was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the array of amenities this home offered. A fantastic pool, a well-maintained pickleball court, and a putting green perfect for practicing those short games – this place had it all.
The house itself was a gem. Immaculately clean, it boasted a modern design with comfortable furnishings that made us feel right at home. Every corner of the house was thoughtfully arranged, ensuring our stay was as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.
I must also give a shout-out to the booking agent, Gus, who was incredibly helpful and efficient. Their attention to detail and customer service was top-notch, making the booking process a breeze.
I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a luxurious and hassle-free stay in Scottsdale. Whether you're here for golf or to unwind, this house is an ideal choice. And a big thanks to Gus at the rental agency for making our trip memorable!
