SDS11 - Oldtown Micro Studio Pool View
Guest rating: 3.8 / 5
Overview
SDS11 is a compact studio condo set in the historic Garden District, a beautifully updated mid-century neighborhood on a quiet cul-de-sac just under a mile from Old Town Scottsdale. Designed by vacation rental specialists Vince and Ann specifically for short-term guests, the unit prioritizes efficient, functional living in a small footprint. It's part of a small poolside condo community rather than a traditional hotel.
Unit & Amenities
The micro studio comes equipped with a kitchen featuring a microwave and oven stove, making it easy to prepare meals in-unit, plus a washer, ironing board, and air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort. Guests also have access to a private balcony, cable TV, and free Wi-Fi. The unit is smoke-free and pet-friendly, and a crib is available for travelers with infants.
Outdoor & Recreation
An outdoor pool with a view is a centerpiece of the property, giving the studio its name, and there's an outdoor grill on site for guests who want to cook and dine al fresco. These shared outdoor spaces make the property feel more like a relaxed residential retreat than a standard hotel stay.
Location
The condo sits within a mile of Old Town Scottsdale, Hotel Valley Ho, Fashion Square, and Scottsdale Stadium, putting shopping, dining, and entertainment within easy reach. Three bus stations are within walking distance, including one just 140 meters away, and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is about 9.5 km away for straightforward air access.
Best for
This studio suits solo travelers or couples seeking a self-contained, low-key base near Old Town Scottsdale's shopping and dining, thanks to its compact kitchen, pool, and quiet cul-de-sac setting. It also appeals to pet owners, since the unit is explicitly pet-friendly, and to guests who value walkable access to bus transit for getting around without a car.
