Welcome to Desert Funk—your colorful Scottsdale home base for pool days, game nights, and gathering everyone around the same table.

Minutes from Kierland Commons, this boldly designed five-bedroom, three-bathroom home sleeps 12, with three king bedrooms, a queen-over-queen bunk room, and a twin bedroom. Outside, enjoy a private pool, backyard games, and a grass lawn beneath string lights. Inside, keep the competition going with shuffleboard, air hockey, and poker—or settle into the living room after a day exploring.

Whether you’re bringing the family, meeting friends for a golf trip, or traveling for a tournament, Desert Funk gives your group room to spread out and plenty of reasons to come back together.

THE DESERT FUNK DIFFERENCE

Every room has its own personality. Bold wallpaper, playful neon, and unexpected color make the house feel like part of the vacation.

The design goes beyond how it looks: a dining table seats all 12 guests, a king bedroom sits on the main floor, and games throughout the property give different ages something to enjoy. Have breakfast together, head out on separate adventures, and meet back home for an evening that doesn’t require another reservation.

POOL DAYS & BACKYARD EVENINGS

Spend the morning by your private pool, take lunch outside, and let the afternoon turn into a ping-pong tournament.

The backyard includes:
• Private swimming pool with an attached, unheated spa
• Six pool loungers and three umbrellas
• Outdoor sectional seating
• Shaded outdoor dining for eight
• Propane grill
• Ping-pong table
• Cornhole and a grass lawn
• String lights for evenings outside

Our family and guests enjoy using the smaller attached spa as a kiddie pool for supervised water play. It shares water with the main pool and is not a separate, purpose-built children’s pool. Children need direct adult supervision in and around both areas.

Please note: neither the pool nor the attached spa is heated. The attached spa is not a heated hot tub.

Once the sun drops, fire up the grill, gather beneath the string lights, and settle into the outdoor sectional. There’s also a basketball hoop over the driveway for a little more friendly competition.

GATHER, DINE & PLAY

The living room has a large sectional, swivel chairs, and a TV, with space to unwind between outings.

The adjoining dining area seats 12 in real dining chairs, so your whole group can share meals at one table. An air hockey table nearby makes it easy to follow dinner with a little friendly competition.

In the wallpaper-wrapped game nook, you’ll find a 9-foot shuffleboard table and a poker table with chairs. Pick your game, settle in, and see who gets competitive first.

A KITCHEN FOR GROUP MEALS

The kitchen includes full-size appliances, cookware, and kitchen essentials for preparing meals during your stay. Make breakfast before an early tee time, put together lunch between pool sessions, or cook dinner while everyone catches up nearby.

Between the indoor dining table, shaded outdoor dining, and propane grill, you have options for everything from pancake breakfasts to relaxed backyard dinners.

FIVE BEDROOMS | SLEEPS 12

Main floor:
• King bedroom with a TV

Upstairs:
• King bedroom with a TV
• Second king bedroom with a TV
• Bunk room with a queen-over-queen bunk bed, sleeping four, plus a bean bag chair
• Twin bedroom with two twin beds, a TV, and its own neon sign

The main-floor king bedroom is a convenient option for guests who prefer to avoid stairs to their sleeping space. It sits near the kitchen and living areas, with easy access to the shared spaces.

Three full bathrooms serve the home.

TRAVELING WITH LITTLE ONES

A pack-and-play and high chair are available, helping you leave a little more room in the car or suitcase.

Between the backyard, games, and neighborhood park around the corner, there are plenty of ways to mix outings with time at home.

The pool has a removable child-safety barrier installed at check-in. Children require direct adult supervision around the water; the barrier does not replace supervision.

LOCATION | SHOPPING, DINING, GOLF & DESERT ADVENTURES

Desert Funk is in the Scottsdale mailing-address area where North Phoenix meets North Scottsdale—a convenient home base for enjoying both sides of the Valley.

Spend the morning on the golf course, meet the rest of your group for lunch and shopping, and return home for pool time and dinner beneath the string lights.

KIERLAND COMMONS & SCOTTSDALE QUARTER

Nearby Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter give your group two outdoor shopping and dining destinations to explore.

Browse boutiques and familiar brands, stop for coffee, enjoy a leisurely lunch, or make an evening of dinner and a stroll. Kierland Commons restaurants include North Italia, Zinc Bistro, Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar, and Mastro’s Ocean Club, with more shopping and dining options across Scottsdale Road at Scottsdale Quarter.

It’s an appealing setup for groups with different interests: some can shop, others can linger over lunch, and everyone can meet up afterward.

GOLF GETAWAYS

Bring your clubs and build a trip around Scottsdale golf.

Westin Kierland Golf Club is a nearby option for a round, while TPC Scottsdale offers the Stadium Course and Champions Course. The Stadium Course is home to the WM Phoenix Open, making it a memorable option for golfers who want to experience a PGA TOUR venue.

Back at Desert Funk, your group can trade the scorecard for shuffleboard, fire up the grill, and keep the competition going without heading back out.

Tee times, course availability, and greens fees vary; advance reservations are recommended.

EVENTS & TOURNAMENT WEEKENDS

Planning a trip around the WM Phoenix Open, Barrett-Jackson, or the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show? Desert Funk puts you in the North Scottsdale area for outings to TPC Scottsdale and WestWorld of Scottsdale.

For families traveling for sports tournaments, the home offers space to regroup between games, share meals, and enjoy downtime together.

Event traffic can affect travel, so allow extra time during major event weeks.

HIKING & THE SONORAN DESERT

Make room for a morning outdoors at Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve. The Gateway Trailhead is a starting point for exploring desert scenery, towering saguaros, and mountain views, with routes suited to different interests and activity levels.

Choose an outing that fits your group, bring water, and plan around the weather—then come home for a relaxed afternoon by the pool.

FAMILY OUTINGS & A CHANGE OF PACE

The nearby Musical Instrument Museum offers an indoor outing exploring instruments and musical traditions from around the world.

For something simpler, Desert Horizon Park is around the corner from the house—a convenient option when the kids want a playground break or everyone wants a little time outside.

EXPLORE FARTHER

Set aside another day for Old Town Scottsdale’s galleries, restaurants, and shops, or browse Scottsdale Fashion Square. These are outings farther south, while Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter are closer options for shopping and dining.

A car is helpful for exploring the wider Scottsdale and Phoenix area, especially when your plans include golf, hiking, tournaments, or several attractions. On-site parking makes it easy for groups traveling with multiple vehicles.

YOUR HOME, YOUR PACE

Desert Funk works especially well for:
• Family vacations and multigenerational stays
• Golf getaways
• Tournament weekends
• Friends reconnecting over sunshine, meals, and game nights

Plan a full itinerary or leave room for a day that never gets beyond the backyard. There’s plenty here to make staying home part of the trip.

GUEST ACCESS & PARKING

The home and backyard are reserved exclusively for your group during your stay.

Check-in is contactless through a smart lock, with a unique access code for your reservation. Arrival instructions are provided before your stay, after the required pool waiver has been completed.

On-site parking is available for guests traveling with multiple vehicles.

HOST COMMUNICATION

You’ll receive arrival information and instructions for the home so you can settle in without an in-person orientation or key pickup.

We respect your privacy and are available through messaging if you have questions or need assistance during your stay.

IMPORTANT POOL INFORMATION

The primary booking guest must electronically sign a pool safety waiver before check-in instructions and the access code are released. The waiver link is sent after booking.

The removable child-safety barrier is installed at check-in. If guests remove it, the primary booking guest is responsible for ensuring pool safety and supervision for everyone in their party.

All minors must remain under direct adult supervision whenever the barrier is unlocked or they are near the pool or attached spa. Pool use is at guests’ own risk. Pool access may be restricted if the required waiver has not been completed before arrival.

Come for the sunshine. Stay for one more round of shuffleboard.
