Summer in Sedona, while reaching temperatures that are warm edging towards hot, is nowhere near as hot as the towns in the lower parts of our state, making it an ideal vacation destination. The days will be warm, the sun will be shining, but once it falls behind the mountains and dark skies reign over the Sedona landscape, the temperatures turn cool and vacation life takes on an idyllic turn, especially when you spend your vacation residing in our Sedona.Org seasonal sanctuaries. We take pride in providing an elevated vacation experience for our guests and this guide to the top amenities we offer that give your summer vacation rental in Sedona an elevated appeal will make you wish your vacation had already begun!
Relaxing at Home with Sedona.Org
You are going to enjoy an amazing selection of adventures during your explorations of Sedona, but we sincerely hope that you choose to stay in and explore the amenities we offer in our seasonal sanctuaries for at least a few hours, if not an entire day. Our properties are designed to be a vital part of your vacation experience, offering a long list of amenities that will help you stay chill and relaxed and happy that you did choose to stay in. The amenities we have listed below are just a start of what you can expect, elevating your indoor adventures.
Ceiling Fans
What has always been the despair of interior designers is an important design element in Arizona and although not every room will offer a ceiling fan, most will. Napping on plush sofas in the living rooms while the fan softly whirs overhead is one of life’s little luxuries and you may hear distant sounds of lawn mowers and children’s laughter, integral sounds of summer, as you drift off into a wonderful and refreshing nap. As you might expect, the bedrooms of our Sedona retreats are another place where you will find ceiling fans turning the air, ensuring that every night is filled with deep sleep and happy dreams.
Air Conditioning
We’re sure its not an unexpected surprise to learn that yes, air conditioning will be offered in every one of our vacation rentals. As we mentioned earlier, it doesn’t get as hot up here in the northern part of the state as it does in the lower altitudes, but the temperatures can occasionally reach the triple digits, something you do not want to experience without the luxury of an air conditioning system. The even better news, however, is that even as the daylight hours will be warm, when the sun sets those temps will plummet, often dropping down to the 60s and encouraging guests to open windows and let the fresh air in.
Fireplaces
And when those temperatures do drop, especially after a summer storm, the fireplaces in most of our escapes will add drama, romance, and warmth to a beautiful summer night. Many fireplaces will be gas, able to be turned on with the flick of a switch, but if the smell of wood fires make you happy and the tradition of crackling flames speak to your heart, you will be relieved to learn that some properties do offer wood-burning fireplaces and it should be announced in the listing.
Now That You are Cool Enough
We’ve spent a good part of this article talking about the temperatures, but now it is time to explore the fun things you can do inside during the long days of summer. We at Sedona.Org understand that entertainment is as important as comfort and we equip our properties with a long list of amenities that definitely prove our point, as shown below.
Wet Bars, Coffee Bars, Wine Refrigerators, and Blenders
The fully equipped kitchens of our Sedona sanctuaries may be where your favorite summer adventures take place. Offering wine refrigerators and blenders to ensure your beverages will be cool and refreshing, and coffee bars that enable you to start every day fully caffeinated without being forced to head to a coffee shop immediately after waking. It’s important to stay hydrated during the summer months and our homes provide all the means to do so.
State of the Art Televisions or Theater Rooms
It is true that Americans often spend far too many hours looking at their screens and it is also true that travelers tend to spend more time outside playing during their Sedona vacation, but isn’t it nice to know you have options? The televisions we offer will be large, flat screened ones, some cable access, others smart ones, and all offering such clear screens that you may feel as if you are seated behind the batting cage at the Diamondbacks baseball game you might be watching on a lazy summer day. Some retreats will also offer theater rooms, equipped with super soft sectionals or a line-up of leather recliners, perfect for curling up with a beverage, a blanket, and your favorite summer movie on the big screen. After a day of hiking to the red rocks, frolicking at Slide Rock, or dipping in and out of the shops of Sedona, spending an evening at home watching movies can be the ideal way to settle down for the night.
Board Games or Game Rooms
The annual family vacation is meant to bring you closer together and gathering around the dining room table playing board games can be an excellent way to do just that. Many of our escapes will be stocked with a selection of board games, but if yours is not, Tlaquepaque Toy Town, located at 336 AZ-179 a205 in the Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, offers a nice selection of classic and new games. Game rooms may also be found in your vacation sanctuary, large rooms filled with a variety of gaming tables (pool, ping pong, foosball) arcade games (who remembers Pacman?) or even video game consoles, providing many ways to play and be entertained. Some escapes may not have specific game rooms, but will offer pool tables, foosball tables, or shuffleboard tables as another way to play.
Deep and/or Whirlpool Tubs
The Sedona adventures we have discussed so far may also bring sore muscles and aching feet and before you head off to dreamland in our tranquil bedrooms, submerging your tired body in tubs that are deep and filled with fragrant oils or whirlpool tubs with jets that will hit every single muscle in just the right way will be the highlight of a day filled with wonderful moments. Grab a book, a glass of wine, and play some soft music on whole house speaker systems and discover that you have found paradise on earth and it is located right here in our luxuriously appointed bathrooms.
That’s a Lot of Amenities. But Wait, There’s Still More
Now that we have taken a tour of luxury summer amenities inside the house, you may think we are done for the day, but we are just beginning. Our stand alone summer vacation rentals in Sedona will offer an oasis in the backyards and our condos will provide a large number of community amenities guaranteed to make this vacation one that hits all the right spots. Below we have listed some of our favorites, amenities that will lift your vacation experience to new heights of wonderful!
Let’s Start with the Condos
Some might think there might be some sacrifices that must be made when you choose the more compact footprint of a condo, but those people aren’t thinking about the community amenities that come standard with most condos. Resort pools, community hot tubs, even fitness centers, and access to local golf courses will ensure that every minute of your stay will be filled with fun and fancy. Barbecue areas and sports courts add even more adventure to your escape, ensuring that spending time at home with us will bring you as much joy as you experience exploring vortexes, red rock formations, and the art galleries that line the streets of Sedona.
Your Home Sweet Vacation Home
A backyard oasis is the dream of every homeowner, but it is also a dream that can be realized by vacationers as well, especially when you choose our Sedona.Org standalone homes to make your vacation retreat. Stepping through glass doors that reveal a world of beauty and fun on the other side of the panes will lead you to a “playground” that both children and adults will want to explore, perhaps sacrificing some Sedona adventures in order to relax and frolic with the amenities listed below.
Large Outdoor Patios or Decks with Multiple Seating Areas
The beauty of an Arizona sunset, the quirky conversations we can have with toddlers who see life differently, or the quiet moments spent contemplating the mysteries of life can be enjoyed from multiple spots along large decks that cover the expanse of the back of the house. Red rock formations peeking over walls made of cinder blocks, the mountains standing guard in the background, and, of course, the sun setting at the end of the day are examples of some of the fun you can have while sitting outside every evening during your stay. Barbecue grills will also be provided, and a family barbecue may be the adventure you remember most, devouring the meat you charred as the sun sets on another day in our Arizona paradise.
Private Pools
Being able to step outside and take a dip in chilled and refreshing waters is a dream come true for many visitors and our larger escapes may even offer heated pools that will extend swim season later into the year. Floating on a pool raft as the Arizona sun warms your skin, relaxing on lounge chairs that surround the blue waters, and timing how long your children can hold their breath as they hold tea parties under the water’s surface, are all summer activities that will warm your heart as they create cherished memories. Basketball hoops placed on either end of the pool will appeal to the more competitive vacationers in our group.
Private Hot Tubs
Just as the jetted tubs in our baths can hit all the right muscles, our hot tubs, resting on decks that are open to the sky can be exactly what your muscles are craving, while adding romance to your vacation experience. Sedona is a Dark Sky Community, eschewing light pollution, enabling the stars to shine brightly on the darkest of nights and as you sit, soak, and savor a glass of bubbly, your beverage reflecting the waters you are soaking in, and adding an extra element of tranquility to your elevated vacation experiences.
Firepits and/or Outdoor Fireplaces
Remember those cool nights we have discussed further up the page? It doesn’t mean you have to stay inside, watching television and skipping the beauty of a summer night in Sedona. Firepits surrounded by Adirondack style chairs are where family and ghost stories will be told, marshmallows will be roasted, and daydreams will take place as you sit and watch the smoke drift upwards towards the moon that is peering down on your Arizona activities. Some properties may provide outdoor fireplaces, maybe with a television hanging above the mantel, enabling guests to watch late baseball games and movies that will hit harder simply because they are enjoyed on a clear summer night in red rock country.
