Private Desert Sanctuary with Pool, Spa, & Putting Green

Barwick Vacation Rental
TPT #21502627

Experience the authentic spirit of the Arizona desert without sacrificing a single modern luxury. Situated on a private, rural lot surrounded by majestic saguaro cacti, this property offers a complete reset from busy life. The approach down a classic, unpaved desert road immediately signals that you have left the city behind, even though it's just minutes away.

Backyard Oasis
While the setting is rugged and wild, the amenities are purely resort-class. Spend your days floating in the sparkling waterfall pool, practicing your short game on the backyard putting green, or swaying in the shade on the hammock. Cool off inside with a game of pool then as the sun sets behind the mountains, light up the outdoor fireplace and unwind in the bubbly hot tub under a blanket of stars you can actually see.

The Home
Unlike many short term rentals, this is a family's cherished second home. Because they spend several months a year here, every detail–from the high-end furnishings and fully stocked kitchen to the immaculate maintenance of the grounds–is kept up to their personal standards. You will immediately feel the care and quality that only comes from a home that is truly loved.

The Location
You will feel a million miles away, yet you are exceptionally well-connected. Within a 5-to-10-minute drive, you can transition from your private desert hideaway to the area's top-tier golf courses, premium grocery stores, and the vibrant dining scene of North Scottsdale and historic Cave Creek.

Nice enough property, but awful time dealing with the hosts (which are not real hosts, just a large rental company). Not responsive, not helpful, they will ask for pictures of your credit card for some reason. I don't recommend.
