Olga was a great host. She provided great information about the house and surrounding area. Olga responded quickly to any inquiry. The house was wonderful. Loved the decor and the location was great. Lots of restaurants and grocery stores close by. Hiking was awesome and accessible in 20-30 minutes. Will definitely consider staying again.
Everything was amazing from the cleanliness, to the well stocked kitchen all the way to the yoga mats! The owners were very responsive and the outdoor area was perfect for morning coffee and sunshine.
This home is beautiful!! We had a 1 year old, 3 bigger kids and my husband and I with our sister and brother in law. The kids played for hours in the pool. It was super hand for them to play annd us to relax annd watch. The heated pool was an huge perk! Plus bonus perk was having all the toddler features we needed Nd didn’t have to pack (high chair, plates, pack and plays) The kids also loved the setup of the rooms! The layout of the house is super spacious and none of us felt like we were on top of each other! There is plenty of room for everyone to eat indoors and outdoors. Nice neighborhood to walk around, easy access for the activities we did with our families, and super close to the grocery store! Kitchen had everything we needed and was stocked well. Would highly recommend!!
We had such a great time. The house was amazing. It had everything we needed to prepare meals. It was in a great location for our needs. The lemons from the lemon tree were a little bonus. We enjoyed the walking trail right behind the house. Only wish we could have enjoyed the pool but it was a bit chilly during our stay. Olga was great to work with and communication was excellent. Would highly recommend this house.
I analyze 100 properties before I rent a VRBO. I stopped looking when I found Casa Rica! I loved the Murals that set the Vibe for the house! Also, the overall cleanliness! Upon arrival, I was greeted with a message from Olga, our host and personal concierge for our stay. She was very prompt and attentive! The house was immaculate, even the towels! It had enough towels, tolietries, and other supplies for our stay. The 4 bedrooms had enough room for 6 adults and 2 children. Each bedroom has its own TV so everyone could watch what they wanted. The beds and pillows were so luxurious! We did spend some quality time together with the large TV in the living room watching the World Series! There was ample seating for our crew and the chaise lounges were very comfy. We also had time to play some competitive foosball on the side. The dining room and outdoor tables had room for all of us to sit and chat as a group. We also enjoyed the outdoor firepit and furniture with the adults at night. All the seating areas had many pillows to use. The heated pool was also a hit for childen and adults. There were lounge chairs and pool toys galore. Also, a large Connect 4 game. The pool was nice and warm and I loved that pool heat was included, instead of other properties charging a daily fee for a heated pool! The Monopoly Mural served a dual purpose by also highlighting attractions in the area. The location was very convenient to many places! I would give Casa Rica more than 5 stars!
I have never left a review for a rental property before, but I felt I had to this time. This property is just incredible. Everything that a family could need to have a comfortable stay has been provided and the location is ideal. We had seven people during our stay - 3 adults and 4 kids (15, 12, 9, 9). The pool made the heat tolerable during the day and the water was nice and warm at night. We even were able to grill and eat on the patio for dinner, which made meals with the kids much easier. It was clear that the house had been recently updated with quality furnishings - I loved it so much that I told Olga she could come furnish my house any time! :) Any time I had a question Olga was prompt to reply and checkout was a breeze. If your travels are taking you to Scottsdale, definitely stay here. We can't wait to return!!
We had a wonderful stay in Scottsdale. The hosts were very communicative and prompt. The property was very clean and well appointed. We loved the pool and patio. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you for the great place.
The property is just as advertised and allowed
for a comfortable stay for 4 adults and 4 children 12 and under. Everything was brand new and very clean. The pool
is heated with optimal temperature to use it any time of the day. The owners are very responsive and accommodating. We made great memories and will definitely rent this property again if we come back in town.
