Why book direct

Same homes. Same host. Less money to the middleman.

Booking platforms add a guest service fee on top of every stay. When you book with us directly, that fee disappears and you get a real person to talk to before, during and after your trip.

Request your dates
  • No platform service fees

    Our direct rate is always the same or lower than the nightly rate on Airbnb, and there is no third-party guest fee added on top.

  • A direct line to your host

    100% response rate and replies within an hour. Ask about early check-in, pool heating, cribs or anything else before you commit.

  • Flexible on the details

    Longer stays, luggage drop-off, late checkouts when the calendar allows, and pet arrangements handled person to person.

  • Clear, written agreement

    Every direct stay is covered by a simple short-term rental agreement so you know exactly what to expect. Licensed with the State of Arizona.

Good to know

Questions guests ask before they book

Anything else? Send us a message and we'll reply within an hour.

How does booking direct work?

Send us your preferred home, dates and group size through the request form. We confirm availability and send you a quote, usually within a few hours. Once you approve, you sign the short-term rental agreement, pay securely, and receive your keypad code and check-in guide before arrival.

Is it really cheaper than Airbnb?

Yes. Airbnb adds a guest service fee on top of the nightly rate. When you book direct there is no platform fee, and our nightly rate is the same or lower than what you see on Airbnb for the same dates.

Are the pools and hot tubs heated?

The Old Town Poolside Retreat pool is heated to about 84°F at no extra charge. The Family Hideaway hot tub is included and open 24 hours.

Can we bring our dog?

Both homes are pet friendly. The Poolside Retreat charges $100 per pet per reservation and the Family Hideaway $75 per pet. Tell us about your pet when you request dates so we can confirm.

How many people can stay?

Each home sleeps up to 8. Scottsdale city code allows a maximum of 6 adults per short-term rental booking, and accompanying children do not count toward that total.

What time is check-in and checkout?

Check-in is after 4:00 PM with a keypad, so you can arrive whenever suits you. Checkout is before 11:00 AM. Luggage drop-off is available at the two Old Town homes for early arrivals or late departures.

Can we host a party or event?

No. Scottsdale city ordinances prohibit parties and events at short-term rentals, and every home has quiet hours in the evening. They are perfect for families, golf trips and Spring Training groups who want a relaxed home base.

Which home is right for us?

Traveling with little ones? The Poolside Retreat has a gated pool and every baby item you can think of, and the Family Hideaway adds a swing set, playhouse and four bedrooms. Want evenings outside? The Poolside Retreat has the fire pit and pergola, and the Family Hideaway has the hot tub. If you are not sure, just ask.
