Tired of freezing temperature and tons of snow?

I have this cozy, fully furnished winter rental available February 1st. It’s located in the heart of McCormick Ranch within walking distance to the McCormick Ranch Golf Club, 10 minutes from downtown Scottsdale to the south, and just as close to some of the unique shopping experiences to the north. Restaurants, healthcare, and lots of recreational activities are nearby.  With 2 master suites, a designer kitchen, and a warm southwestern feel, all you need are your warm weather clothes and a toothbrush.  Golf clubs are optional!

Open living area with a wall of windows for views and a lot of natural light.

A sweet interior and totally private courtyard, that doubles as a second living and dining room.

The primary master opens to the private courtyard.

The Scottsdale weather forecast for the beginning of February is sunny and warm.

Scottsdale has a number of seasonal rentals still a few available for this season.  “Seasonal” is the term we use for turn-key, or resort rentals.  These properties (either single family homes, condos, townhouses, or patio homes) are fully outfitted with all furnishings, linens, and a full kitchen, ready to cook and entertain, relax and play. 

Many of our winter visitors are repeat clients, finding a place they really like and leasing it as much as a year in advance.  Seasonal rentals are most occupied in the months of January through March, but winter rates often start as early as November and can run into April.  Winter rates are usually 50-100% higher than off-season rates, and many communities have a one month minimum for lease terms.

I have a two bedroom patio home listed for either short or long term rental in Sandpiper Scottsdale, a very green community surrounded by the McCormick Ranch Golf Club.  It’s got a beautifully updated kitchen and has a warm and welcoming feel.  Located in a gated community, with a park-like setting and a heated pool, it’s truly is paradise in the winter.  The normal winter lease rate is $4200.  In the summer, it’s $2500. 

Plus, the owner has dropped the rate to $4000 for a month’s rental in through the end of April.  He’s had a long-term renter in the unit for the past 15 months, so we’ve not been showing it much.  Now that the property is vacant again, he is motivated to have someone enjoying the home again.

This same owner has another patio home in the same Scottsdale community. This one is already rented through March, and is only available in April this year.  It’s a larger home, with a private patio that makes it easy to cook out every night.  Two spacious masters, plus a huge den that has office space and two Murphy beds.  The current tenants love it and are already talking about coming back next year.

Later today, I will be adding another listing, this one is unfurnished and is only available on a long-term lease, with a minimum 6 months. I have had this home listed for sale already, so you can see more about the home, while we are getting the lease listing on-line. This home will be available for $2250 per month. (And of course, the owners would be delighted to sell it too!)

And if you’d like to see a bit more of the gorgeous green Sandpiper setting, please view our slide show:

Sandpiper is a community of 160 patio homes located on 55 acres in the heart of McCormick Ranch. Several golf course homes are also for sale. If you’d like to know more, just let me know!

Good news is that I actually have two listings in the Villages. One is a two bedroom on the ground floor. The other has two bedrooms and a den, on the second floor, with a very private balcony.

As you can see this home have been well taken care of, is very nicely updated.  Living just down the street from Roadrunner Park, with swimming pool, fishing lake, and tennis courts, being a few short blocks from Hwy 51, does have its advantages.  Besides having four bedrooms, the house has an abundant amount of space for anyone who likes to build or putter, complete with a separate and air conditioned workshop, and another potting shed that’s perfect for the avid gardener.  There’s even more storage off the two car covered carport.

My brother used to live across the street from this home, and so I’ve spent more time that usual in the neighborhood.  My son grew up fishing in the lake at the park, and there’s a farmer’s market most Saturday mornings.

The house is on Bloomfield Road (for real), and you can visit www.3627Bloomfield.com to get more info about the house, the schools, and other resources in the area.

I just listed this wonderfully updated Sandpiper patio home located in the heart of the McCormick Ranch Golf course.  Back patio overlooks green grounds, with a bit of Camelback Mountain in the sunset view.

With a beautiful kitchen featuring cherry cabinets, granite, and a large island. Dual masters, both with queen beds, although second bedroom could be fitted with two twins. Private center courtyards with fountain just off master bedroom. Feels like a second living room with curtains and paintings.

$4200/month for January-April.  Off-season and longer term rates are available.  For more photos and details, visit 7552SanManuel.com.
