First impression was amazement. This was pretty much the fanciest house I think we've ever rented on VRBO. Eye popping views, lots of windows and natural light, very roomy, great kitchen and outdoor grill. As an added bonus, the two wings of the house are well separated, meaning lots of privacy on both ends. The house sits on a golf course, which aids in the feeling of openness, but surprisingly (for me anyway) it felt pretty private being outside. They even have a TV next to the jacuzzi!

At first we were worried a bit about the fact that it isn't right downtown Sedona, because we are big believers in walkability, but in the end it turned out to be a really great thing because downtown Sedona is a zoo, and the house is off the beaten path a bit, meaning that everything was easily accessible with minimal hassle (parking, lines, etc.) and quiet. Plus, it turns out that a lot of our favorite hikes were pretty close to the house so we hardly ever even went through Sedona the week we were there. And you can walk to a cafe (Oak Creek Espresso was the best local cafe in our opinion), or grocery store, restaurant, etc. The local vibe is pretty SoCal but very bike friendly - everywhere we went there were bike lanes. Oh, and did I mention that the house came with two bikes (though no locks, so you can't leave your bike anywhere unattendend!).

Nikki was super friendly and gave us some great tips but was also as invisible as we needed her to be, so thank you Nikki!

Some tips: we love to hike and Nikki suggested going to the Hike House on the first day. That was really great advice. It's a business, and yet they spent a good half hour with us making several tips for hikes, restaurants, etc. and all we bought was a map! We told them what sort of places we wanted to see and how long and vigorous of a hike we wanted, and they gave us more than enough ideas and all of the ideas were fantastic and generally the less popular places. We have so many great photos! Another tip: if you like local beer and BBQ at very reasonable prices and a place with a lot of local color, check out the Oak Creek Brewing Company on Yavapai Drive. It's very quiet, you can sit outside, but you have to get there pretty early because they stop serving BBQ at around 8pm. Hardly anyone goes there but locals. This is NOT to be confused with the brew pub on 179, which is probably more crowded but may have better food. Schoolhouse Restaurant is a unique place walking distance from the house.

Just Beautiful!

We so much enjoyed staying at your place. The pictures of the place online are very good, but when you see in person, it is even better. We felt so comfortable and the place was nice an clean. It had everything you needed. The view in the backyard was just beautiful. We did go sight seeing, but it was nice just to hang out. We are definitely going to come back. We have rented a lot of homes for vacation, and this was at the top of the list. Even though we were there 9 days, we would have liked to stay longer. Thanks Again for sharing your place. Just Lovely! This was a great way to start off my retirement.

Both the home and the host were exceptional, far beyond what we expected. I visited with my teenage sons and two of their friends, and everyone loved it. The house is gorgeous, the perfect size for a small family or small group of friends. It was beautifully appointed with lots of room to sit around and lounge, or play cards, or grill outside. There were drapes that you could pull shut over the master bedroom windows so it was really dark ... perfect for sleeping. The master bath has a sunken tub for relaxing. The kitchen is roomy and has everything in it that you might need -- bowls and dishes and glasses. Whenever I needed something, there it was, The provisions -- with everything from Wifi to paper towels and detergent to olive oil in the cabinet -- made it seem like the host really thought about what vacationers would need. There was also a washer and dryer. We don't play golf, but the back of the house opens onto a golf course that is so dark at night we could lie out there and look at the Milky Way. Big garage with room for your rental car. Air conditioning. Big closets for tossing your suitcases in so you can forget about them. Office for working (although who needs that on vacation?!) And since it is located about six miles outside of Sedona, you really get the sense that you are living there. The drive into town was easy and gorgeous, and there are plenty of stores for shopping and for food within half a mile of this property, and a great little cafe we visited every morning for espresso. We were never inconvenienced. I would -- and probably will -- vacation here every year. It is the perfect house. The host answered all our questions before, during and after our stay. I found her warm and responsive. This is the first VRBO home we have stayed in. I don't know if they are all this good, but this one was such a great experience that it should serve as a model for the whole program. It is every bit as good as it looks on the site -- and a great deal better.

The house, the property and the owner, Nikki, are better than advertised. We absolutely loved our stay here. The house is well stocked with everything you need and is so comfortable inside and out! We are coming back to the area in October and if Nikki's house was available, we would rent it again in a heartbeat!!

Thank you Nikki for sharing your beautiful home with us!!

Stunning views

fabulous home

Great house, great location right on the golf course . Could not ask for a better owner. Nikki was great and available RIGHT AWAY when we had trouble FIGURING OUT the TV. The house was well appointed and comfortable. The month we stayed flew by. I enjoyed sitting outside having my morning coffee on the patio every morning. The shopping and restaurants are very close by,there was No need to drive all the way into Sedona to shop for food. We are already booked for 2018.

Close to hiking trails and a great local market . Great location . Off hwy 179 near bell rock trAil heads and ranger station, in between interstate 17 and downtown
