The resort style backyard, includes a sparkling, heated pool with rock waterfalls, a ten person+ Spa, 4-hole putting green, outdoor pool table and kiva fireplace with plenty of outdoor lounging areas all surrounded by the towering mountain terrain. Pool heat is included but not guaranteed due to ambient weather temperatures.

This impeccable, almost 5,000 sq. ft. family home, features luxury touches throughout. There is plenty of room to relax with all smart TV's, cable and high speed internet, or challenge your friends to a game of cards on the wine barrel poker table. Be your own chef in the gourmet kitchen, with its huge island, two sinks, two dishwashers, subzero, double oven, 6 burner plus griddle gas cooktop, and microwave drawer. Humming birds, plentiful native plants, and roadrunner families will greet you at the breakfast table out the large ribbon windows.

This stylish, sleek home, with southwest flair boasts both panoramic views and breathtaking sunsets, from every room. There is a master suite on each level plus a detached Casita that has a kitchenette, kiva fireplace, full bathroom and all only steps from the pool. Upstairs is also two Jack-n-Jill bedrooms (with their own vanities) plus another bedroom with a desk overlooking the backyard and a queen adult bunkbed.

Centrally located in the heart of Phoenix, you will be only minutes to the airport, shopping, dining, golf, casinos, nightlife and all parts of the valley, PLUS only an eight minute walk to the trailheads at Piestawa Peak!

Delightful Property as pictured. Management agency was easy to communicate with and very prompt in their replies. Kitchen was well stocked even with specialty items like a juicer.

House and amenities were great. Location and views were amazing. Pool is great, however had issue with the heating system and could not heat the pool for 5 of the 10 days. The pool became too cold for the kids.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2024
Accomodations and location is 5-Star.. Highly recommend for a large family group or friends getaway..
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2024
This property is in a great location and is large enough to accommodate multiple couples; however, it's clear the property has seen a lot of traffic with the amount of wear and tear throughout. There were a number of issues we had upon checking in (broken string lights, dirty pool, missing key to casita, non-working pool fountain with broken tiles...), which were eventually resolved by Porter (the company who manages the property). Despite the hiccups, we still managed to have a great time together as a family, while still having plenty of room for privacy. With a thorough deep cleaning and a few maintenance repairs, this property could be a 5 star property again; however, in its current state, this is a 4-star property with a 5-star price.
