Nominate the group's chef and have them fire up the barbecue for an evening grilling session under the stars. And if cooking is not on the cards, your hosts can arrange for a professional private chef and a butler instead – their five-star concierge service is always just a message or call away.

Nice to haves

This uniquely designed home is perfect for a family holiday or a fun getaway with friends. The outdoor space will be the hotspot for socialisation and spending time together, with a refreshing pool and unique decor. Inside the home, you'll find a cozy living room where you can stretch out on the sofa as you watch a movie on Disney+ with your loved ones or binge the latest series on Netflix. 

Tuck into hearty homecooked meals indoors by the window or dine alfresco in the garden under the sunset, washed down with a bottle of red – the seating area under the gazebo is a great spot to enjoy a margarita or glass of bubbly too. Challenge your loved ones to a golfing completion at the three-hole green found next to the dining table, followed by a snooze in the hammock.

Head out by car to the Scottsdale Quarter, a fantastic open-air shopping centre, including restaurants that serve up delicious global cuisine as well as a cinema where you watch the latest movie releases – you'll also find Rock Mountain Chocolate Factory, perfect for those who love sweet treats. If you're a fan of golf, there are a handful of courses within driving distance.

We came to the conclusion that this Phoenix home has a very different interior and exterior. Behind the front door, guests will be greeted with a space that has a distinct boho edge — think macramé decorations, a plethora of house plants and a penchant for tan leather. It's all very calming. However, the home's outside space is geared towards entertainment, rather than relaxation. Just outside the glass doors, a bar area sits underneath the covered terrace and beyond this, there's an invitingly blue swimming pool. As if that wasn't enough, there's also a children's play area and a putting green on which budding golfers can practise. Nearby, you can drive to both Scottsdale and Phoenix in around twenty minutes. Frank Lloyd Wright's impressive winter home, Taliesin West, is a similar distance away, too.

This Phoenix home has some serious swimming pool game. The pool is fed by seven waterfalls and has won awards for its design. Taking a dip or soaking in the integrated hot tub is like sliding into a pool in a magical grotto, uplit at night. The yard is set up for all kinds of fun and games, with beach volleyball (bring your own ball), a basketball court, cornhole and a ping pong table by the pergola-covered bar. A gas grill can fuel sports tournaments long into the evening and a fire pit and chiminea provide a little warmth on cool desert nights. Practice on the putting green before hitting the real thing – there are world-class golf courses within an easy drive this home (like Stone Creek and Paradise Valley). The games continue inside, where a pool table awaits in the huge open-plan kitchen, dining and living room. After the excitement of gameplay all day, the bedrooms are a soothing medley of grey and white with big, comfy beds. 

Game Face

This modern home in central Scottsdale is a resort-like base for those looking to make the most of all that the region has to offer. Spend lazy mornings around the pool and in the gardens practising your put while you plan the day's golfing adventure. If you're not one for the course, choose a spa experience in the area to indulge in. By the day’s end, the pool bums, desert hikers, kayakers, and golfers alike will gather back on the patio for a BBQ and a round of pool in the billiards room. If the desert chill sets in, congregate around the open fire in the living room; its reclaimed wood backdrop adding a shade of boho-chic. Sleep sound in sumptuous beds, and whoever gets the master suite can pack the walk-in wardrobe with all the gear necessary for hiking, golfing and hitting to town.

With its tilted roof and long, tall windows, you might not be surprised to discover that this unique house was designed by a secret celebrity architect. The designer, who has worked with none other than Jay-Z and Beyoncé, has filled this home with enough unique details to impress even the most discerning superstar. The high ceilings and monochrome colour scheme in the living area work perfectly with the minimalist furniture and statement lighting, while a gorgeous spiral staircase brings you to the upper level. The bedrooms are inspired by the works of Mark Rothko – simple yet elegant with blocks of bold colour. Outside, you'll find a private swimming pool which can be chilled to provide a refreshing dip during the hot Arizona days. Scottsdale Fashion Square and Old Town Scottsdale are just a few minutes drive away, but if you fancy nothing more than topping up your tan on a sun lounger, then this is just the place to do it – those mountain views are second to none. 


White Swan

Bold decor, bright pops of colour and fantastic amenities make Warm Words a fun-filled home for a group of friends or a family who don’t just want a bog-standard space to call him on their next Scottsdale vacation. Welcoming six guests, with the option of sleeping two further guests on a sofa bed in the bunk room, there is plenty of space for everyone to spend quality time together or escape to a quiet corner for a peaceful moment for oneself. Although there is no pool to cool off from the hot desert sun, this backyard has been designed to maximise on Scottsdale’s incredible nights. Gaze out at the stars, for example, from the hot tub or enjoy a fine bottle of wine around the fire pit.

Pocono Mansion is the best of both worlds. Just a short walk to Scottsdale’s Old town and Fashion mall, as well as the Entertainment district, it has everything at your fingertips - but there’s plenty to keep you occupied at home too. Behind its immaculate lawn and large outdoor entertaining area, this elegant private estate complete with a guest house has large, floor-to-ceiling glass doors that seamlessly connect interior and exterior spaces, leaving you with every urge to take a dip in the private resort pool. In terms of our favourite spot inside, it's a tough call between the media room with your very own pool table or the library/wine room, but ask us in the morning and we might wax lyrical about the amazing master suite which offers one of the best views in the house. 

Pocono Mansion

This spectacular home is a bit like having a private resort all to yourself. The luxury villa has a 50 foot long swimming pool, surrounded by palm trees and sun loungers – with the added bonus that you get to pick who you're sharing it with. You'll also find a jacuzzi, big enough to fit 12 people, and a fire pit, for chillier desert nights. Inside is just as special, with a beautiful nature-inspired colour palette and plenty of chic details – think rustic wood furnishings, statement artworks and cosy throws for wrapping around yourself. In the bedrooms, there's crisp linen, driftwood sculptures and even workspaces for catching up on emails. The trendy neighbourhood of Arcadia is on your doorstep, with its cool farm-to-table restaurants and trendy boutiques. If you fancy getting active, drive out into the desert for a hike, or follow one of the trails up iconic Camelback Mountain for incredible views across Arizona.

It wouldn't be doing this property justice to call it a "home" as it truly is so much more than that. Combining everything you'd find at a five-star hotel resort with the added bonus of having it all to yourselves – this one-of-a-kind villa offers the trip of a lifetime. Set in Scottsdale, guests can soak up the Arizona sunshine from almost anywhere on the property and beyond. With so many extravagant outdoor spaces to choose from, you certainly won't be short on things to do here. In fact, the problem may rest more with if you'll have enough time to try out all of the amenities on offer. Whether it's relaxing by the waterfall pool (with a water slide), unwinding in the jacuzzi or playing a game of tennis, foosball, ping pong, pickleball, basketball or mini-golf – you'll find something to enjoy before having even stepped foot inside. When you can tear yourself away from the glorious sunshine outside, prepare to be impressed by the impeccable soothing interiors which invite guests to relax in style through neutral colours and natural materials. With plenty of designated workspaces dotted around the home, you'll be able to balance work with play when staying here too. Once you've worked up an appetite, hire a private chef to come and cook for you in the state of the art kitchen – you'll have the choice of dining alfresco on the terrace or inside with a view of the garden from the formal dining area. After dinner, head to the games room for a round of pool, or cosy up in front of the (indoor or outdoor) fireplace with a nightcap in hand, before making the most of the spa-like bathrooms. We particularly appreciate the ultra-luxurious mattresses and bedding, ensuring a dreamy night's sleep they'll have you feeling refreshed and ready to discover the local hikes and desert trails in no time. Venture out to one of the many breathtaking and iconic Camelback trails in Scottsdale – Camelback mountain and Black Mountain are both around a thirty-minute drive away. With the Old Town, only fifteen minutes away and Downtown Phoenix, just twenty-five minutes away – lap up your own secluded slice of heaven without being too far away from the centre of town should you need it. 

Canyon Rock Resort

Multiple Sets of Keys

Looking for a fun-packed family escape? This recently remodelled and colourful mid-century-inspired home is as good as it gets. It’s a five-minute walk to Old Town Scottsdale, where you'll have access to world-famous restaurants, shopping, art galleries and more. After exploring, come back to the spacious garden and kick off some games – why not shoot some hoops in the heated pool or challenge the group to a mini-golf championship? The winners can bask in the sunshine while the losing team fires up the barbecue. Rain stopping play? The high-spec kitchen has everything you need for a Michelin-star-level dinner, and we particularly love the mini wine fridge. But if cooking is absolutely not on the cards (well, you are on holiday), your host can arrange for a private chef and a butler, among many other five-star services that will turn your holiday into a completely hands-off affair.

This corner of the USA is famed for its resorts, but you’ll have a private one of your very own at this Scottsdale home. Part of a friendly community, outside the gates there’s enough shopping, food and golf to satisfy enthusiasts of any level. However, inside the doors of this remodelled hillside home, it's all about relaxation with a distinct luxe twist. The master bedroom, in particular, is a showstopper, with its red leather sofa, huge en-suite bathroom and floor-to-ceiling windows which make the most of the view of the desert, as well as the fuchsia bougainvillaea that border the entire house. There are two parts of this home we think will get repeat visits — the restaurant-quality indoor bar area that puts drinks cabinets masquerading as such to shame and the outdoor hot tub. Bring the two together — responsibly, of course — for an evening you won't forget in a long time.

Shimmering Sienna

Enjoy an abundance of entertainment, from the exquisite pool to corn hole and Jenga, when you stay at The Gnamma. This oasis in the middle of the Sonoran Desert is located just two miles from Scottsdale Fashion Square and Old Town, making a great choice for those that want to be close to the action whilst still enjoying a little peace and quiet. Offering three very comfortable bedrooms, all of which sport a sleek mid-century look, we think a few friends or a family will be well looked after at this incredibly chic and fully equipped home just moments from all of Scottsdale’s downtown action.

The Gnamma

Safe

Nestled in the Arcadia neighbourhood, with downtown Scottsdale and Phoenix in easy reach, this smart home is a great place for explorers to kick back and relax. There are plenty of places to hang out with your loved ones, from the cool and crisp living room to the back yard where you can roast marshmallows by the fire pit. The interior design is effortlessly cool with a touch of desert luxury, and we particularly liked the well-equipped kitchen with a chic little breakfast bar. After a morning coffee, culture vultures can head to Scottsdale Arts District, while hikers can take a drive to the trails of McDowell Mountain Regional Park. Reconvene at one of Arcadia's cafés or restaurants to share stories about your adventures, before heading home to mix some drinks in the cocktail shaker and settle in for a movie night. 

A Phoenix Breeze

Scottsdale is a great place to escape to if you want to live it up. Filled with golf resorts, luxurious spas, and gorgeous homes like Pickle Ball, it's the kind of place that will help you kick back and switch into relaxation mode. This home has is centred around the open-plan kitchen, which is fit for a true chef and has everything you need to whip up the kinds of meals you never have time for at home. Enjoy the fruits of your labour alfresco, then lounge around the private pool that's perfect for splashing around in the heat. In the back garden, an alfresco patio awaits for those who like grilling, while the rest can enjoy drink or relax in the hammock. The weather is usually nice all year-round, but this shouldn't stop you from chilling indoors where you'll be surrounded by designer furniture and green views. In the evenings, get everyone together for a movie night in the luxurious living room and then retreat to the quiet bedrooms for a good night's sleep. 

Pickle Ball

With everything so close by, you can practically roll out of bed and into the heart of Scottsdale – shopping nirvana at Fashion Square and Kierland Commons, downtown Old Town and the Tournament Players Club, home of the Phoenix Open golfing tournament. The glorious green swathe of Chaparral Park, with its eponymous lake, is also within a few minutes’ walk. Fix yourself a strong espresso in the well-equipped kitchen before heading out to explore, or hang around the house for a day of poolside lounging and yard games. Should the weather turn – unlikely, as this is Arizona – there’s also a smart TV to stream anything you want.

The Rebel Bean

Enjoy a relaxing stay in Arizona at this modern home in Scottsdale. Chill out on the outdoor sofas, lie back on a sun lounger, or sit chatting around the fire pit. Alternatively, for a more active day, go for a swim in the pool, play a game of pool and cook up a feast on the barbecue. The home is not far from Scottsdale’s famous entertainment offerings, and you can even start the party early with a drink at the indoor-outdoor bar. Camelback Mountain, world-class golf courses, hiking and biking trails are all nearby, as well as Old Town Scottsdale, where you’ll find restaurants, bars and shopping malls.

Happy Daze

Oozing chic and endlessly cool interiors, Hitched is a fabulous home in the middle of Scottsdale. The three beautifully curated bedrooms welcome six guests, making it a great choice for a few friends or a family with kids. Recently remodelled, the appliances and finishes are all high-end here, so whether you want to treat yourself to a steam shower or simply cool off in the impeccable pool, there are wonderful opportunities to do so.

Hitched

Buzzer / Wireless Intercom

You guessed it – this charming mid-century-inspired home used to be an architectural studio and was lovingly renovated by your hosts to create an immaculate space for a single traveller, cosy couple or a small family. With its own entrance, charming patio and private pool, you won't even notice that your hosts are right next door. Although if you need them, they'll be delighted to give you local tips and help you out in any way. Nestled in-between Phoenix and Scottsdale, you’re just ten minutes from Old Town Scottsdale with its vibrant nightlife and excellent restaurant choices, as well as Phoenix Zoo and Desert Botanical Gardens. Less than fifteen minutes in the opposite direction and you’ll find yourself in the excitement of downtown Phoenix. Whatever way you go, there's plenty to see and do.

The Architect Studio

Nothing screams 'Plum' more than a tropical paradise in the middle of the Arizona desert. Without setting a foot outside of this private retreat, you’ll find a pool with a waterfall slide, a shaded grotto, spa, putting green, swim-up bar, games room and fire pit to gather around on starry nights. An outdoor misting system cools you down on demand on hot summer days, and the pool is also heated for the cooler months. Polished marbled floors lead you to a luxurious living and dining room, six large bedrooms – four of which with en-suite bathrooms – and a master bedroom that opens up into the patio. Your host has gone the extra mile to accommodate all kinds of groups, with the option to split any super-king bed into generous twins, so you'll never have to compromise on personal space. Within the blissful confines of the boundaries, you can also admire mountain views and the breathtaking Arizona sunset as your day draws to a close. Or in a short drive from the estate, you’ll find hiking gems, golfing, shopping, fine dining and the neighbourhood bars and eateries of Old Town Scottsdale.

Living Large

Minutes from downtown Old Town, the Entertainment District, a choice of ten golf courses and multiple hiking options up and around Camelback Mountain, this newly renovated home is excellently located in the Old Town district of Scottsdale. Though it looks fairly simple from the exterior, this home has been recently renovated and the open-plan kitchen and living space feels fresh, modern and comfortable. The master bedroom is particularly enviable - we loved the love seat next to the bed - but guests should note that one of the bedrooms doubles as a children-oriented games room.

Desert Pool

Trash Compactor

Scottsdale enjoys over 330 days of full sunshine each year and this home, spread across two casitas, is the perfect place to make the most of it. In the backyard, you'll find smart navy sun loungers – stretch out and top up your tan, before taking a refreshing dip under the waterfall feature in the swimming pool. You don't even need to go inside to cook – with a summer kitchen and barbecue, grill up an alfresco dinner to serve on the patio as you watch the sun go down over Camelback Mountain. Golfers will love having the Ingleside Club right next door, and there are also bikes provided to make getting around quick and easy. Visit the chic Arts District and Old Town Scottsdale, before coming home to chill out in the mid-century style living area or get competitive with a game of table football. 

Roaring Water

A tropical getaway in the middle of Scottsdale, this six bedroom home is the perfect getaway for when you just need a week in the sun to relax and rejuvenate. Spend leisurely days dipping in and out of the pool, lounging on that lush lawn around the fire pit, and catching up on the latest films in the large living space. For days when you feel a little more active, the professional pool table and yard games beckon for family tournaments, and the state of the art kitchen is sure to coax any chef into whipping up a feast for the group. If you can bear to leave the sunny garden and stylish interiors, there’s plenty to discover in the local area – you’re within moments of hiking hotspots, world-class golf course, and the dining, bars and boutiques of the Old Town. 

Run The Table

It's playtime all the time when you stay here, whether it be at one of the clubs and bars in Scottsdale's entertainment district (just a short stroll away), or in the home itself, with a pool table and cornhole set inviting you to start a tournament. With a striking marigold feature wall in the lounge and lime green stools at the breakfast bar, this spot doesn't take itself too seriously. The outdoor space is where it really shines – cool off in the glistening pool or float around on an inflatable while you soak up the scorching Scottsdale sun. When you're feeling peckish, fire up the grill for an alfresco feast. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the close proximity to a number of courses, while nearby Camelback Mountain invites you to take on a challenging hike to admire the panoramic city views.

Choose Happiness is a luxurious central Scottsdale affair, complete with anything you need for a happy and relaxed time away. Before we get carried away with the features, it's important to mention that you'll have a plethora of sights and restaurants available within walking distance, but then, you've seen the kitchen, haven't you? The pictures barely do this home justice. When the team that designed this home decided on a mostly natural-tone look, they did so to highlight the high-end minimalist features like the fire pit and the sleek dining area. Arizona being the Copper State, there's a nod to this in the shape of a copper sink in the kitchen, which testifies to the great attention to detail. But let's not forget the more obvious star elements here – a heated pool, an abundance of outdoor seating to hang out, the concierge team at your disposal to book a variety of services, and a private office space for those who can't get completely away from it all.

Choose Happiness

Looking for the ultimate getaway for a large family? This fabulous home in sunny Scottsdale has something to impress everyone - even the impossible to please. First up there's the kitchen. It has all the high-spec equipment you need to create a banquet, plus room for a head-chef, sous-chef and diligent vegetable peeler/washer-upper without squabbles breaking out. The open-plan living room is elegant space, with a large flat-screen TV and L-shaped sofa big enough for small army of popcorn munching movie-watchers. The bedrooms are all individually designed, and we particularly love the children's room with its comfy bunk beds, blue-and-white teepee and pastel-coloured bean bags. Out in the garden there's a good-sized turquoise pool, plenty of games equipment (including small, moveable football goals for pool footie), a roaring fire pit and wicker hanging egg chairs. And if you can tear yourself away, this home is in the heart of Scottsdale, and the bars, restaurants, shops plus Scottsdale baseball stadium are all a short drive away.

Old Town Funk

The fun never ends in this home that was built for active leisure. From the designated game room with foosball, billiards and a huge TV, to the giant outdoor Jenga, there's always an excuse to get everyone together and spend some fun time competing. Of course, there's also a beautiful pool – heated at no additional cost – and if you're too busy chilling out to cook or shop, you can book a variety of services that will turn this retreat into a truly hands-off experience. All five bedrooms are spacious, bright and welcoming, making sure you'll get enough rest to wake up ready to explore the nearby hiking trails, which are only a five-minute drive away. This home has a certain Southern flair and features a gorgeous cactus mural that creates a playful atmosphere. It's unlikely you'll be rushing to get out of this entertainment-packed home, but if you want to eat out, there are plenty of restaurants in Old Town Scottsdale that are worth a visit.
