Scottsdale Vista North Vacation Home by Heidi Lamar

As the retired owner of Scottsdale's largest freestanding resort-style spa, customer service is my passion. One day, one of our seasonal spa guests said they were having trouble finding an affordable furnished home for their Scottsdale visits. They needed a home, without stairs, that would allow their beloved, well behaved family dog. They didn't want a noisy condo or a shared pool. In short, they wanted a private home at a condo price. I realized, they were describing my own house, and since I wanted to move to a larger home anyway, I decided to move and rent them mine. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. I have made some really great friends, including many guests who return each year!

Why they chose this property
In a word, value and location. Okay, that was two words! We looked at tons of places and, I thought the only way I could afford vaulted ceilings, granite counters, travertine floors, a mountain view, a two car garage and a pool was in a condo, but I had gotten used to the privacy of a single family home. I didn't want to listen to neighbors fighting and kids screaming in the pool! I was a little concerned with how close the house was to the 101 but as soon as I shut the doors, I forgot all about the freeway! The double pane windows keep it quiet and cool and the extra tall wall makes the yard and pool extra quiet. Arizona was the first place to use a 1 inch layer of rubber on the freeways to make them quieter and it really works! http://asa.scitation.org/doi/10.1121/1.4780322

I got everything on my wish list and I didn't have to pay thousands a year in HOA dues! Over the years, I completed upgrades like replacing the carpets, with stone floors, resurfacing the pool with pebble tec, putting in a new turf lawn, new roof, new double pane windows and AC with air scrubbers until the home was just right. Now renters love the same things I did about the home: It has all the benefits of a freestanding home for the price of a condo. And without condo fees, I can pass the savings along to the guests. Judging by the number of return guests each year, Loop 101 is actually a pretty good neighbor!

What makes this property unique
Ask about discounted summer rates
No stairs, pet friendly, minutes to everything, private pool & yard, quiet well maintained neighborhood with very little traffic. There is not a single window that looks into your neighbors windows so it feels VERY private and secure.
