We came to the conclusion that this Phoenix home has a very different interior and exterior. Behind the front door, guests will be greeted with a space that has a distinct boho edge — think macramé decorations, a plethora of house plants and a penchant for tan leather. It's all very calming. However, the home's outside space is geared towards entertainment, rather than relaxation. Just outside the glass doors, a bar area sits underneath the covered terrace and beyond this, there's an invitingly blue swimming pool. As if that wasn't enough, there's also a children's play area and a putting green on which budding golfers can practise. Nearby, you can drive to both Scottsdale and Phoenix in around twenty minutes. Frank Lloyd Wright's impressive winter home, Taliesin West, is a similar distance away, too.

Home truths:
*There's room for two cars in the garage and additional space on the driveway
*A travel cot, high chair, baby bath and children's tableware can be provided if required — please let the host know ahead of your visit
*Children are welcome, although the space hasn't been completely child-proofed, especially the pool and play area, the surface of which can get very hot during summer months
