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.

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

Hot Tub

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.

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

Hammock

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.

With its white walls and ambient lighting mixed with cool blues and greys, you’ll feel a sense of calm the moment you walk through the door.

And if you're worried about missing out on the pool front, there are shared resort-like amenities on-site, including a swimming pool, hot tub, recreation room, and gym. Nature lovers will want to seek out the nearby Gateway Loop, Pinnacle Peak, and Lost Dog hiking trails, while golf enthusiasts can head straight for the nearby Continental course. With Scottsdale’s Old Town and Entertainment District offering countless shops, bars, and restaurants within walking distance, you’ll feel like a local in no time.

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.

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.

Situated in the heart of downtown Scottsdale, this contemporary townhouse is a great place to call home. Location-wise, you can't beat this neighbourhood – delicious restaurants, bustling shopping centres and lively bars are all on your doorstep, as is the Arizona Canal Trail, which is perfect for morning jogs along the water. When we say that you can walk to everything, we mean it – that's why it's so important to have an inviting space to relax in after a long day on your feet. And trust us, this stylish pad does just that. 

Step inside and you'll find a modern living space with a few Southwest-inspired details – picture ten-foot-high ceilings, crisp white walls and a sienna-coloured leather sofa that invites you to kick back and chill out. The chef-inspired kitchen is super sleek and excellently stocked with all the cookware you'll need – be it Crate & Barrel dishes and wine glasses or a blender and full baking set. Our favourite spot is the balcony, where you can unwind with a glass of bubbly and watch the sunset. And we can't forget all the bells and whistles – smart light switches, a Google Nest, Intelli-Shades and keyless entry ensure living here is a breeze.

Vibrant Downtown Lifestyle

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

Private Pool

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.

Safe

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.

Although if you need them, they'll be delighted to give you local tips and help you out in any way.

Bright, open desert living beckons you at this family home in the centre of Scottsdale’s Old Town. Cook up some waffles to eat perched on the breakfast bar before heading outside to take in the canyon views or stroll into the heart of your neighbourhood. The desert climate is irresistible, so you’d be forgiven for wanting to spend most of your time in the yard, lounging around the pool, kicking back by the fire pit, and practicing your stroke on the putting green.  Situated on a quiet street not far from what’s considered “the South Beach of the desert,” all the shopping and night’s entertainment is just a walk from your front door. If you have some golfers in the mix, TPC Scottsdale is just a fifteen minute drive from the home. Back home in the evenings, gather and chat around the crackling fire. 


Beat The Heat

Baby Bath

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

Want all the amenities of a resort without having to share your space with any other holidaymakers? You’re in luck – this Scottsdale home is pretty much your own private hotel, with a pool, outdoor dining area, grill section, and even a putting green for family mini-golf tournaments. Soak up the sun in the backyard, popping inside every now and then to refill your drink from the bar cart or raid the kitchen for snacks. If the heat of the day gets too much, you can always head into one of the four luxurious bedrooms for an afternoon siesta, or cool down in front of your favourite show in the stylish living room. As evening falls, enjoy a float in the pool while waiting for the barbecue to heat up or gather around the massive table to plan tomorrow’s adventures. You’re within a ten minute drive of many of Scottsdale’s shopping, dining and entertainment centres, so there’s plenty to do without straying far – after all, it’s going to be difficult to tear yourself away from this home. 

Make a Splash

Trash Compactor

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.

On top of that, you're just a short way from Scottsdale's Old Town, which is always busy with vibrant restaurants and exciting bars.

Live Your Best Life

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

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. 

King Pin

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.

Run The Table

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.

One bedroom is set up with a sofa bed and boasts a kitchenette, perfect for a couple seeking more privacy. The home is close to restaurants, bars, and shops.

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.

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.
