For those who wish for the urban environment while in Arizona, the Kierland Urban Flat will exceed your expectations.

Guests will enjoy the services of the concierge, a fully equipped exercise facility, a heated lap pool, spa, delivery from Morton’s Steakhouse and golfing at the neighboring Kierland Resort and Spa.

Fire and Sky - Scottsdale AZ

December 15th, 2009 by Joseph

The owners of this Tuscan Villa in the East Scottsdale area have truly incorporated the elements of Greek Mythology into the design of this four bedroom luxury estate within the community of Fountain Hills. Guests of this magnificent estate will enjoy the luxury of three spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms in addition to an adjacent casita that offers yet another full living space with bath and bedroom providing flexibility not usually associated with vacation villas.

Inside guests will enjoy the luxury living spaces including the all Viking-equipped kitchen where Wolfgang Puck would feel right at home. For the movie buffs, the 12-seat home theater is your personal screening room, buttered popcorn of course is available. And for the “hustler” of the party, the billiards room will impress. The ultimate amenity of the estate is the outdoor pool. Located at the lower level at the edge of the patio lies a snake-like strip of stone stretching the length of the patio ablaze with a warming and illuminating fire. Accompanied by two fiery sentinels standing watch over the infinity edge of the pool, fire controlled by man, meets the Fire in the Sky provided by Mother Nature. Monthly rate from $15,000.

   

DC Ranch Retreat - Scottsdale AZ

December 15th, 2009 by Joseph

One of the beauties of the southwest during the winter months is lifestyle which can be indoors or out. The DC Ranch is the perfect vacation rental for those who wish to enjoy the winter season in Arizona. While the 4 bedroom interior (sleeps 8 in luxury) will comfort and delight, the private outdoor space is the crown jewel of this desert estate. Blurring the lines between interior and exterior, the patios which surround the home are as inviting as the luxury interior. For the chef, the barbeque island satisfies the instinct to cook on an open-flame under the star-lit night. For the water enthusiasts, the pebble-tec pool and adjacent spa insure hydration protection from the dry desert climate. Will the DC Ranch be your winter retreat? Monthly rate from $13,000.
