Massive North Scottsdale 6 bdrm w Oasis Backyard

This was, without question, the best VRBO our family has ever stayed in.We tend to travel like a small band of gypsies, so finding a home with enough space for everyone to spread out comfortably is important to us, and this house exceeded every expectation. The five bedrooms were perfect, and no one ever felt cramped or crowded.The game room was a huge hit and provided a great place for everyone to relax and spend time together. The pool was absolutely fantastic and quickly became one of our favorite parts of the trip. The kitchen was also exceptionally well-stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals and keep our crew fed throughout our stay.The only minor suggestion we have is that the grill could use a thorough cleaning, but it still worked well and certainly didn't detract from our experience.We made some wonderful memories here and sincerely hope to return around this same time next year. Thank you for sharing such an amazing home with our family!

The house worked well for our group of 7 adults and the overall layout was one of the better features. The upstairs setup with 3 bedrooms and 2 detached full baths, along with 2 additional bedrooms and 2 full baths on the main floor, gave everyone enough space and privacy.That said, the home could really benefit from a deep clean and some general maintenance/upkeep. We noticed several superficial issues throughout the property including chipped paint, squeaky ceiling fans, broken pool cues, and outdoor pool lights that did not work. The kitchen also needed a more thorough cleaning before use. We mainly used the stove for breakfast and the outdoor grill for dinners, but the grill needed to be cleaned and the gas had been left on when we went to use it.One concern worth noting was that neighboring homes had signs posted about “no rentals,” which made us a little uncertain about the area’s relationship with short-term guests.The highlight of the stay was definitely the pool. It was professionally cleaned while we were there and ended up being the best-maintained part of the property. Overall, the home was functional for a larger group, but with better cleaning and some maintenance updates, the experience could be significantly improved.

Positive: Large spaces, particularly dining and living room areas. Patio and outdoor areas very nice with lemon and orange trees. Two large master suitesNegative: Kitchen dishes and cooking equipment (pots, pans, dishes etc) inadequate for this size house. We were a group of 5 and were constantly struggling to come up with enough cooking pans, and trays. No containers for storing cooked food. Dishes would not be sufficient for larger group. Pool heat did not work for us, but money was refunded.

The house was probably awesome in its day. Needs some major updates and maintenance. There is a freestanding hot tub because the other doesn't work takes of all of the pool area. Slide is inoperable. Backyard was flooded so unusable for the kids. Jetted tub in master inoperable, ice maker inoperable. Dryer vents into the house so caused allergy problems for most of us. Kitchen didn't have enough silverware glassware for 12. No serving bowls. Again needs a good cleaning and some attention.

It was very large,and luxurious. Well laid out.
