• A lovely stay!

  We had a great time in Paradise Valley. The house was comfortable and spacious, and the outside space was a lush oasis in the middle of the desert!

  A gem.

• EVEN BETTER THAN THE PICTURES

  5/5

  This house is AWESOME! I cannot say enough good things about our stay. Each room has it's own bathroom, perfect for large groups. The pool and backyard are incredible and the whole place was impeccably clean. There is strong attention to detail that you don't always see in rentals -i.e. a bin with throw blankets in the living room, quality serveware in the kitchen, starter basics (paper towels, tin foil, soap.), game cabinet and more! Maureen, our point of contact, was super friendly and quick to respond to any questions/needs. The pictures make this place look beautiful, but it's even better in person! Great location as well - close to Camelback Mountain, Trader Joes, & Old Town! Can't wait to return here one day!

• Beautiful home and property

  3/5

  This is a truly beautiful home. It was very clean and the pool and outdoors were gorgeous. The only problem we encountered, which was a big one, was scorpions. When it was one, it was somewhat understandable, but there were about 8 we encountered INSIDE the home. Most seem to have crawled out of the vents in the bathrooms, two were in the eating area. As adults, we can somewhat safely deal with them, but trying to make sure a 3 year old keeps her shoes on was a challenge. And honestly, going to bed at night was not fun. We all checked and double checked everything. It was a pain in the neck. We ran into a neighbor out walking and they asked about our stay and how we liked the area, we asked about scorpions inside the house, and they were surprised. They said if you spray regularly, it's not an issue. They have lived in the immediate area for four years and in that time have only had 2-3 get in around a door. We had 2 per day! The owners/managers need to get on this. If an adult is stung, it's usually not a big deal, but when a child or older adult is stung it can be serious, they need to head to the emergency room. So that really put a damper on things. We have rented homes in AZ many times, this was the first time we ever had scorpions IN the house. As a matter of fact, this was the first time we ever saw any! It was disappointing as I specifically asked if the property was regularly sprayed for scorpions. If this has been an issue in the past, it would have been nice for them to disclose this if they had known. They did have their pest control person come out and spray again while we were gone, but I don't think it did any good, they were still there. The home appears to be about 20 years old or so, they need to have it inspected, sprayed, and some holes and worn spots in the insulation around the doors needs to be replaced.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Florence, the homeowners would like to share this response:
  We are sorry you had some concerns during your stay at Casa Paradiso. We had hoped our quick action helped put your worries at ease.
  - This is a family home, only rented a few months per year. We have had small children throughout our 20 years of owning the house without a scorpion sighting or incident.
  - We have had no sightings or complaints since the interior pest treatment of the house. We also regularly pour bleach down drains to deter visitors.
  - Casa Paradiso is maintained with utmost care. As you can tell from the grounds and the interior, we take pride in our home.
  - Our pest control company has serviced the house for over 20 years with standard monthly desert pest control treatments. Our technician was applying an additional treatment within 10 hours of our text once we received your complaint. Keeping doors closed helps to ensure pests stay outside.
  We have had several bookings since your visit, and there have been no sightings of scorpions. We are confident that future guests will continue to enjoy five-star stays here!
