PETS-
Pets allowed upon host approval. Please disclose the type of pet, breed, and weight. Pet fee is $100 per pet


PARKING-
The home offers a long two car driveway as well as a garage.


QUIET HOURS-
Quiet hours per City of Scottsdale ordinance are from 10pm – 5am. If the police are called during these hours for any type of noise violation guests may be held financially responsible for any resulting fines.

OUTSIDE VENDORS-
Outside vendors may be allowed but must be approved prior to guest arrival by host.

EARLY CHECK IN-
Check-in is at 4pm. We offer a complimentary early check-in (when possible) of 2pm. Any check-in earlier than 2pm is subject to an additional fee due to its disruption of our cleaning schedule. If arriving prior to 12pm we suggest booking the night before.

GUEST COUNT-
If you have additional unapproved guests, your reservation may be subject to cancellation. The number of guests you book for is the amount allowed at the property, no exceptions. If a change to the guest count occurs, please contact the host prior and let them know.

MUSIC & SPEAKERS-
We provide a Bluetooth Sonos speaker at the home which you may connect to. Please do not unplug or move the sound system. Please do not blast the volume on the system as it can potentially cause damage to it. Guests are liable for any damage to the system. We employ noise decibel monitoring devices within and outside the home.

LATE CHECKOUT-
Check-out is at 11am. Late checkout is possible if approved prior with host. Any unapproved guest checkout is subject to an additional fee.


*Disclosure Regarding Pool Heat*
Before requesting pool heat, please be advised of the following:
We cannot make the pool into a hot tub! The maximum temperature we heat the pools to is 85 degrees. Please also be advised that in the winter months when the overnight temperature drops below 50 degrees, the pool heaters will simply shut off to avoid mechanical damage to the heat pump system due to the ice that will form otherwise on the internal coils. The heaters will turn back on automatically when the temperature outside goes back up/when the ice that was forming to cause the shut off melts, but this means that we cannot promise the pool will stay heated to our normal of 85 degrees. Even with the cooler temperatures, the pool heaters do tend to keep the pools within 5 degrees of the desired temperature. Turning on and off the heater is very expensive for the homeowners, hence the pool heating charge. Therefore, please note we will NOT be able to refund the pool heating charge if you feel the pool did not stay warm enough during your stay. The pools have been heating up to 75-85 degrees, which is 35-45 degrees higher than the average outdoor temperature.

We left a piece of our hearts at Villa Makena
Imagine a gals getaway weekend to celebrate a besties birthday… pickleball, pool, tasty beverages, yes please! We arrived promptly at check-in and were giddy to spend the next few days in this little slice of pickleball heaven. In between games and merriment during the hot summer hours, we cooled off in the pool. Gus was helpful, friendly, and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We will definitely stay here again when time and opportunity presents itself.

Definitely coming back!
This was the perfect property for our family. Each bedroom has its own full bathroom, which makes getting ready for the day and cleaning up after the adventures seamless. The outdoor and indoor living space fit all six of us perfectly we always had something to do, even in our downtime when we were not out and about. The location is perfectly situated to get to restaurants, shopping and daily adventures. Very centrally located. The neighborhood was safe to walk through morning and night. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Arizona!

A Perfect Stay for Golf Enthusiasts in Scottsdale!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a stunning designer house in Scottsdale during my winter golf trip, and it was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the array of amenities this home offered. A fantastic pool, a well-maintained pickleball court, and a putting green perfect for practicing those short games – this place had it all. The house itself was a gem. Immaculately clean, it boasted a modern design with comfortable furnishings that made us feel right at home. Every corner of the house was thoughtfully arranged, ensuring our stay was as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. I must also give a shout-out to the booking agent, Gus, who was incredibly helpful and efficient. Their attention to detail and customer service was top-notch, making the booking process a breeze. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a luxurious and hassle-free stay in Scottsdale. Whether you're here for golf or to unwind, this house is an ideal choice. And a big thanks to Gus at the rental agency for making our trip memorable!

A fantastic property - no reason to leave your backyard! The layout of the house is perfect for an adult getaway. Adequate bedrooms and bathrooms for all, within a beautifully decorated home. The pickleball court is a big hit, and a super grilling and outdoor eating space. We loved our stay!
