The Playhouse Retreat
This family-friendly villa is sure to impress and excite everyone in your group. Stepping onto the animated property instantly transports you to a world of toys, treats, rich laughter, and lively entertainment—it’s a kid’s dream come true. Close to everywhere you want to explore in Scottsdale, you’re just a few minutes from shopping venues, golf courses, hiking, biking, and a vibrant nightlife.
Spread over a single level and lavishly furnished, the interior feels comfortable and welcoming. Fencing encompasses the backyard for added privacy and security. The outdoor resort-quality complex features chaise loungers for you to kick back on while working on your summer glow.

The little ones will love to frolic in the multi-colored splash pad—parents, you might want to have a refreshing dash too. Breakfast is breezy with fragrant orange trees encouraging you to eat straight from the garden; switch things up by crafting a fresh-squeezed mimosa. After sunset, the bubbling hot tub invites you in for a serene, starlit soak.
Staying true to its name, an explosion of fun for all ages awaits at The Playhouse Retreat. Split up into teams and challenge each other to a game on the basketball court or on the mini soccer field.

Family Paradise
Brisa was so incredible. She reached out early to understand our needs. She communicated frequently and was on top of all the details for our kids.The house is truly amazing for families. The kids (and parents!) didn’t want to leave the backyard. It’s truly a haven for a family. We will be coming back soon!

Great House
House is great, location is great, all the amenities kids and parents would need. Location is very close to a private airport. Planes constantly taking off and landing. The neighborhood is not the best but still good. Overall, highly rated.

Perfect family vacation
We had 6 adults and 2 children and we stayed for a week. There were activities for all of us (ages 6-71) and we all genuinely had a wonderful time. We had a private chef come to the house for a 6 course dinner and also tried a bunch of wonderful restaurants in Scottsdale. The house is beautifully situated with plenty of space and for people to enjoy both inside and outside. We initially needed some help on how to use some of the features and the contacts provided by the property manager were immediately attentive. We will be back!

Great property for family with small children. Only complaint was the kitchen faucet is loose and needs attention along with dishwasher top tray needing attention. And family room bathroom faucet needs attention. Carpets are a little worn but otherwise great property!

Wonderful
We had an amazing family trip to this property. We stayed a week and spent 95% of the time at the house. We had a lot of little kids with us and just as the photos show, there's TONS for them to do. The house was nice and the manager quickly responded to our requests for more paper towels and dishwasher tabs. They even shipped us a waffle iron and pancake griddle with 1-day shipping when we told them we wish the house had them :)
Overall a great experience for the adults and kids alike in our group!

Kids oasis!
We had the best time at this amazing house with our two young kids. They had everything a family could need from step stools in the bathroom to kids sized golf clubs for the putting green. My kids played for hours in the backyard and had a blast with the playhouse tiny town and cars/bikes. The house is thoughtfully laid out and beautifully decorated. We will definitely be coming back year.

Wonderful Family Vacation Home
Such an amazing family home! This property did not disappoint - everything was just as listed. The kitchen was unbelievably stocked, and the house met all of our needs. Our grandchildren absolutely loved all of the outdoor spaces - so much to do in the safe, fenced back yard. Bill, the Property Manager, was very responsive and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We would definitely rent this beautiful home again - so thankful that the property owners allowed us to share their unique and wonderful home.
