3000sf Golf Course Home - Huge Pool Great Location!

House was great for 3 generation spring break stay roomy and great location to get to all things Scottsdale Property owner very easy to reach and helpful with suggestions on area things to do

If you like shag carpets, cupboards full of junk, a dirty swimming pool, creatures running around in the bathroom wall, a BBQ that has now been cleaned in a long time, you’ll love this place. The appliances were modern except for the BBQ and the inside was clean Clearly VRBO does not inspect its properties very well.

We (two couples) chose house/property based on location and layout with the primary BR on one side of the house separated from the other BRs. Location was as expected, but overall maintenance of the house was sorely lacking. 2nd bathroom shower serving the 3 BRs was just a bit more than a trickle where our guests had to lean against the shower wall to get wet. Both pocket doors separating the three BRs/bathroom from the TV room were off track and could not be closed, leaving the bathroom visible from the rest of the house. The main TV did not work, and I was told by the host contact Direct TV myself to resolve the issue, which I did. Kitchen window coverings were missing and other window coverings were in such poor condition that we did not dare operate them. The two bathroom shower areas exhibited rather shoddy tile repair work and bathroom vent fans were hanging down from the ceiling. The outdoor area by the pool was somewhat messy and had caution tape hanging from some areas. We contacted the host (vacationing in Australia at the time) and while he was generally responsive and apologetic, he acknowledged knowing about the inoperable pocket doors and expressed surprise at the other issues noted above and said we should have called the emergency contact to have those items addressed. However, those and other issues had clearly existed for some time and should have been taken care of beforehand, not while we were there. Overall, our stay fell far below our expectations.

We enjoyed our time

Great location! Convenient to everything. Wonderful walking trails nearby. Quiet neighborhood. Too cold to use the pool. We’ll stocked kitchen-good appliances. Bathrooms could use updating. All things considered-a great, relaxing stay!

The location of the house is great. The interior and pool area are in need of a fair amount of renovation and updating. There are missing bulbs in fixtures, cracks in various places, the fan fixture in the master bath is hanging out of the ceiling, cobwebs, pool area furniture is dirty, etc. There is some type of critter running around above the master bedroom and bathroom in the ceiling or on the roof. The owner said he’d never had that complaint yet there is a trap on top of the roof over the bedroom that we photographed when we went to investigate. You’re required to strip beds and put all linens and towels in the laundry room, start a load of laundry and if there’s more than 2 loads you get charged. You have to pay in advance to get propane to heat the pool yet it took almost 2 weeks to get the refund for the unused portion and that was only after asking several times. For the rental price, these types of items should be included. The house could be fantastic if it were taken care of over the years so it’s a shame to see it’s current condition.

I think I overpaid for what I received, and that was a disappointment. I think the house could be updated and organized to justify the cost I paid. The kitchen is updated but not organized. The host was polite, kind, and available to help out right away which helped make my stay tolerable. I thought the location was good, thanks to the fantastic bike trails.

On the positive side, the house was conveniently located to local attractions, did have a remodeled kitchen with new appliances and was well stocked with linens. However, the the exterior is not maintained. The website photo shows lush green grass bordering the pool. During our stay, the back yard was muddy with the hose strewn about. The outdoor furniture was dirty and rusting. The swimming pool was not clean. Numerous tiles on the patio are chipped. Many were dirty with coffee and wine splatter. The base of the toilet in one bathroom is either stained, leaking or not cleaned. The door is wet and has wood rot damage. The property is not well maintained.

Kitchen updated. Pool & deck inviting. Owner responsive. Good/great walking trails/restaurants nearby. Hiking trail-heads a short drive away. Played the golf course on which the home is situated, and reckoned that the home is on #16 of the Palms course at McCormick Ranch. McCormick is not a premier golf course, in my personal opinion, but it`s a good place to knock some rust off your golf game without spending a lot of money or driving time to get to a golf course. And tons of other golf options are near-by. Easy drive to old Scottsdale to shop & dine. Easy drive north for other shopping and dining options.

Location Location Location. I almost booked a home in North Scottsdale but I opted for this home based on the location in the description and I am so glad I did. The home was close to everything!! Everything was within 5 to 15 minutes by car. There was also great bike trails and walking trails by the home and a private lake walking trail. The house itself was great well maintained, very clean and nicely furnished. The kitchen was fully equipped, there was a full washer and dryer. 4 large bedrooms, an extremely large living room, a separate family room and about 5 different eating areas. The home is also located right on the golf course but set back for privacy but yet you have amazing views, the positioning on the golf course is perfect as there is zero chance for a golf ball. The other thing I loved is you are allowed to walk the golf course early morning or after 5pm and there is a gate right from the home to the golf course which was really nice. I also considered the home as great value for what you get compared to what you would pay for a hotel or a condo in the area. The back yard had an enormous covered patio great for entertaining and the pool was much bigger than a standard backyard pool I would say it was twice the size of most pools I have seen in other vacation rental homes I have stayed in. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful. He gave me lots of great tips of what to do in the area. I would highly recommend this home to couples, singles, guys or gals golf outing and or a family trip. The home has a great floor plan and has a lot of space for a large family or a large group. I will definitely book this house again!
