Trailblazing Family Retreat - Stunning Views & Spa
Calling all trailblazers and view seekers to Vista Bonita!
Welcome to your secluded family retreat in the heart of the Sedona beauty.
Located in a peaceful neighborhood in the highly desired Chapel Area, this 3300-sq-ft space is your luxurious home base for endless outdoor adventure — explore the otherworldly red rock buttes, take in the breathtaking architecture of Chapel of the Holy Cross, or contemplate the tranquil energy of Cathedral Rock’s vortex — all waiting for you outside.
The space With vantage points from nearly every room, it’s no wonder why we call it Vista Bonita.
Living and Dining Area When you enter the home, you will find the entire space is decorated in a warm, earthy palette with accents of cerulean blue, saffron yellow, and geometric patterns, inspired by Arizona’s Spanish influence and Native American heritage.
The living room and dining area have an open floor plan with plenty of natural light and a large walkout terrace overlooking Sedona’s fiery backcountry. The plentiful seating, gas fireplace, flatscreen TV, and large windows makes this the perfect space for the entire family to gather for popcorn movie nights or early morning meetings to map out the adventure of the day.
The modern, fully-stocked kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances and a wide breakfast bar designed for entertaining and meal prep. Then, the whole family can head over to enjoy a hot home-cooked (or take-out!) meal in the rustic dining room that comfortably seats 10.
Upstairs Bedrooms Your crew can choose from 3 spacious bedrooms on the main level — the owner’s suite (with king bed, walkout terrace, and en-suite bathroom), the secondary suite (with king bed, 2 twin beds, walkout terrace, and en-suite bathroom), and the third bedroom (with king bed, and vaulted ceilings — this bedroom has the best views with an entire wall of windows looking out at the amazing red rocks!). The second floor also has a third half-bathroom to ease up on any bathroom-sharing struggles.
Game Room and Lower Bedroom Climb down the stairs, illuminated by skylight, to the basement where kids (and kids at heart) will be delighted to find an expansive game room equipped with all kinds of fun: a poker table, foosball, yoga mats (for indoor and outdoor use), and cocktail arcade table with over 60 vintage games (Ms. Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Galaga, etc.) The basement also has another flatscreen TV, giant comfy sofa, gas fireplace and a walkout to a patio with a hot tub — perfect for watching the sunset over spectacular red rock formations. The fourth bedroom has a king bed and 4 more twin beds to accommodate larger families (Vista Bonita sleeps up to 14 guests total) or to host spontaneous basement slumber parties.
The outdoor fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. On the contrary, end your day with an old-fashioned cookout in the backyard. Sitting at the picnic table with your family and good food, you’re in the perfect spot to encounter one of Arizona’s most magical (and award-winning) attractions — an unobstructed view of Sedona's star-filled night sky.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Outstanding experience
We don’t often rent homes (prefer hotels) but I am so happy we found this home for our big family. It exceeded our expectation. We had 4 kids and 6 adults across 2 family’s (including grandma and grandpa). This home really did have space and comfort for everyone. Beautifully decorated, incredible view. The kids all slept on the ground floor which was a great set up for everyone with a food ball table, their own TV and plenty of space to run around. The adults could relax upstairs knowing they were safe. After a great vacation at Grand Canyon, Sedona, and Scottsdale, all the kids said their favorite part was this house!! Rachel was also easy to communicate with. All around fabulous time!

Perfect house for a large family getaway!
We loved this house and the location to all things Sedona! We have kids ages 18-11 and everyone had a place to sleep. The morning & evening view alone was worth booking this house! Everything was wonderful!

Great property, perfect location!
Ten of us stayed here (6 adults and 4 teens) for Thanksgiving. The house was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The owner was very responsive. The lower level had a game room that the kids enjoyed. The views from the house were amazing! And the location was perfect. We could walk to several hikes and we were just a short drive to downtown Sedona or Oak Creek. Would HIGHLY recommend and if we are ever in Sedona again, would definitely rent this house!

Wonderful large vacation house
My family of 9 adults and one infant stayed here and it was just wonderful. The house is very spa ious with two gathering rooms…..and we enjoyed the hot tub too! The view out of the living room window was stunning. The Chapel of the Holy Cross is was very very close to the house. The house sits in a great location and we enjoyed staying there. The owner was very helpful in answering questions prior to the trip and checkin was super easy.

Sedona Stay with Breathtaking Views
This place was exactly what we needed to accommodate our large family during our stay in Sedona. The views were amazing especially at sunrise and sunset. Everything was so clean and well kept. We enjoyed the location and the convenience of the nearby trails too. Can’t wait to come back, it was everything described in the listing and more.

Family Vacation
Our family (8 adults and five children) vacation together for a week every summer exploring different parts of the country. This property in Sedona was perfect! The views were stunning from every window. We found lots of things to do in the area and time spent at the house were special for everyone.

Awesome Family Vacation- Great Location
Awesome family vacation with great views of the Red Rocks. House is located just south of downtown - which was nice. We walked to hiking trails at Cathedral Rock. House had three nice sized bedrooms upstairs and more bedrooms downstairs.

Dissapointed with Sedona
I found Sedona to be way too crowded. Traffic was horrible. Restaurants were in very short supply. The house we stayed in needed updating and deep cleaning. Small appliances in kitchen were old and quite honestly a fire hazard. House did not even have a broom or mop. Host did rectify the broom situation but never did receive a mop. Views were beautiful.

Wonderful house and location
We had a fabulous time at this property. Beds were comfy, everything was wonderful. Our only suggestion- which was a huge problem- is to have more seating space in the kitchen. Bar stools would have been just perfect. The house sleeps 14 but there isn’t 14 spots to sit in the kitchen. Bar stools against the counter in the kitchen would have made it perfect. But still- it was a wonderful house. Host was easy to get in touch with and very accommodating.

Art group stays in sedona
This is our second time staying here, and it met all of our needs. The only problem we encountered, was that the outdoor grill had not been cleaned and when we turned it on, flames shot up from all of the grease! We had to deep clean it before we could safely grill. Otherwise, the game room rocked, and those views are amazing to wake up to!
