GORGEOUS Spanish Style Home in Rio Verde - Golf\/Tennis\/Pickleball\/Biking\/Hiking!
About this house rental
Situated in Rio Verde, this charming house for $120 per night is a great choice for your next trip. This home was entirely remodeled and furnished with annual updates to keep it in a premier state. 2 bedroom/2 bath, kitchen with all your cooking needs in mind, gas range, washer/dryer, Weber outdoor gas grill, WiFi provided, 2 flat screen TVs, and Comcast cable HD TV (with Sports Pak 2) with AppleTV, all digital apps on smart tv such as Netflix & Amazon Prime access. This home has fabulous views to a backyard desert garden, fruit trees in season, and a front view of mountain peaks. ** This is a 55+ community, which means that a majority of homeowners must be 55+ years of age. It does not preclude us from renting to guests who are under 55 years of age. However, each guest will need to provide a drivers license and register with the community association. You will be staying in a Spanish style gorgeous home in a very quiet enclave surrounded by the beauty of the Arizona desert and mountain views, but also a very short walk (400 yards) to the 36 hole Rio Verde Country Club golf course and a mere mile to the 36 hole Tonto Verde Country Club (semi-private). You have access to the Rio Verde facilities (pool, fitness center, bocce ball, pickleball and tennis courts). (**Unfortunately, in March 2022, Rio Verde CC announced the guest membership offering is immediately suspended. As a result, our renters will not have access to golf at Rio Verde although there are many available courses nearby. We will update this when we know more. ) The entrance to the hiking and mountain biking trails of McDowell Regional Park is less than a half mile away. We are nestled between the McDowell Regional Park and Tonto National Park; you can't find a better nature lover's location! McDowell Regional Park: Located in the lower Verde River basin, the 21,099-acre park is a desert jewel in the northeast Valley. Elevations in the park rise to 3,000 feet along the western boundary at the base of the McDowell Mountains. Visitors enjoy a full program schedule, over 50 miles of multi-use trails, and spectacular views of the surrounding mountain ranges. A stroll through the park will allow visitors to likely see deer, javelina, birds, jack rabbits and coyotes. Tonto National Forest: Serves as the community's eastern border, and the nearby Verde River brings with it amazing recreational opportunities and scenic beauty. Trees line the river's banks, bringing a burst of green to the landscape, and Arizona wildlife including javelina, Kingfishers, and American Bald Eagles enjoy this natural sanctuary.

We simply loved our stay at Rio Verde. We have been staying in VRBOs for over 10 years, and Justi is truly one of the best Host we have ever met. She made sure that anything we needed to just text or call.
The house is beautiful, extremely comfortable and a joy to stay in!
The mornings were awakened and greeted with lovely songbirds. The view from the front shows great mountain scenery and the back has the desert settings. One night, around midnight, we went outside to gaze at the stars and just “be” in the cool fresh air of the evening. On another night, we heard the chorus of coyotes singing an Eagles tune.
We had a wonderful time staying at Rio Verde and hope to come back next year!

The property is spacious, comfortable and welcoming, with beautiful views. The kitchen is large and well equipped. Justi was very helpful and always responded promptly. We’ve stayed at a number of VRBO properties, and this is the cleanest and best appointed of all!

This was our third visit to Justi and Barb's beautiful villa in Rio Verde.
We found the villa to be every bit as good as our prior visits. It is spacious, comfortable and located in the relatively quiet and relaxing Rio Verde community. It is also very well equipped and has everything that you would need for an enjoyable month in the November sunshine of Scottsdale. Grocery shopping is just 20 minutes away in Fountain Hills.
We had only a couple of minor issues during our stay and Justi very promptly and efficiently dealt with them within 24 hours.
Many thanks, Justi and Bard, for allowing us to stay at your great property in Rio Verde. We look forward staying here again in the future.

We had a wonderful time in Rio Verde! The place was very clean and very comfortable, and the Sleep number beds were an unexpected nice touch. The patio was a great place to have our morning coffee and we enjoyed watching all the birds (and a coyote!) from the large windows facing the desert.

Can I give it 6 stars? Everything about this home is beautiful and accurate. The pictures give a true depiction of it's size and comfort level. It's very well stocked for your cooking needs and exceptionally clean. (Love having a full size gas grill!) The master bed, being a Sleep Number, can adjust to fit your comfort level. The owners, Justi and Barb, were a pleasure to work with. All correspondence was answered promptly and they checked in on us upon arrival to make sure that all was well. The neighborhood is very quiet and well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our late November stay!

We loved this property. The house is absolutely beautiful, the neighborhood is exceptional. Million dollar plus homes. Beautiful views and grounds. The house flows well and was clean and designed like something out of a magazine. We really enjoyed the outside patio. I highly recommend this home and the owner was excellent at responding to questions easily. We will be back.

Home is furnished like Pottery Barn. The kitchen has everything we needed to cook. The location is beautiful. We were able to take scenic walks in neighborhood. Quiet. Beautiful home and landscape. Comfortable bed. Good internet service. 50mbps. Nice furniture. Plenty of places to sit and relax or work. I was working from home during my 3 week stay. Owner communications were excellent. Owner thought of everything and is a perfect host. Highly recommend.

My family had a wonderful stay in this Rio Verde home. The property is exactly as pictured. It is well maintained, clean, and organized. The patio is a real treat and a great place to watch the desert animals and birds. The owners were a pleasure to work with and very responsive. We had a slight hiccup with the cable/wi-fi and they took immediate action to solve the problem. Our biggest concern prior to renting this home was it's location. It is an additional 10-15 minutes from restaurants, bars and shopping in North Scottsdale. We discovered, however, that we never felt too far away from things and the serenity of the setting and calm of the home were more than worth a few extra minutes drive. We hope to stay again in the future and highly recommend it to the VRBO community.

Fabulous home nestled in a beautiful desert garden setting complimented by all the qualities of fine living. So comfortable, it was hard to leave! We enjoyed grilling and reading on the lovely covered patio, bird watching including a Great Horned Owl, swimming at the pool, hiking/running at McDowell Preserve (trailhead short walk away) and playing golf at Tonto. Justi is attentive to making sure your visit is perfect, and ours was. Thank you for sharing your Rio Oasis!

Amazing property! So clean, everything is high end. I travel to AZ for work and have stayed at many different locations at this is my favorite. It is furnished as if the owners live there vs a rental property. The beds are sleep numbers, the appliances are premium. The location is quiet and beautiful at night. Saw wild horses at Tonto National Park, Javelinas at the house. Dozens of different birds. So peaceful and lovely. The hosts are great too!
