Our Favorite Family-Friendly Properties (and what you won’t need to pack!)

By Kylee Niederhauser

As parents ourselves, we understand that traveling with kids adds an extra layer of complexity to vacation planning. So, at Arrivls, we try to make things a bit easier on you and hopefully lighten the load of things you’ll need to pack. Look for the Family-Friendly tab on each of our listings to see which baby/kids amenities that property has to offer – from use of a pack & play, to a full toddler bedroom, to a backyard playset! Read on to hear more about a few of our Arrivls locations that cater just as much to your little ones as they do to you.

Saguaro | Scottsdale, Arizona

Saguaro is a standout property all on its own, but it’s the added outdoor features that make it the perfect spot for a family getaway. Your little ones will love the play area equipped with a climbing wall, slide, swing set, fort and picnic table! If you want to join the fun, teach them some of your short-game skills on the putting green. There are also plenty of inflatables for all ages to use in the swimming pool!
