THE ESSEX HOUSE SEDONA OVERVIEW
Check out ig@essexhousesedona

Essex House Sedona is a design-forward desert retreat created for relaxing, reconnecting and exploring the Red Rocks. Carroll Canyon Trailhead is just a few blocks away, while restaurants, shops and many of Sedona’s best-known trails are only minutes from the house.

The fully fenced private backyard is the heart of the property, with a 17-foot HydroPool, outdoor shower, fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs, large dining deck, grill, lounge area, tetherball and life-size Connect 4. We even provide the s’mores supplies.

Inside, original art, collected vintage pieces and warm desert-modern design make Essex House feel very different from a typical vacation rental. The open great room features a vintage brass Malm fireplace, dining area and an exceptionally well-stocked chef’s kitchen.
And yes, Pricilla — our seven-foot pink dinosaur — is part of the experience.

HYDROPOOL + OUTDOOR LIVING
The private 17-foot HydroPool combines the features of a small pool and spa, with resistance jets for swimming in place. Its normal resting temperature is approximately 85–95°F and it can be heated to spa temperature up to 104°F.

The backyard also includes an outdoor shower, fire pit, dining deck, grill, tetherball set, and Pricilla, our pink dinosaur, and has plenty of space to relax after a day on the trails.

The HydroPool is professionally serviced twice weekly. The technician accesses the backyard through the locked side gate and is typically onsite for approximately 15–20 minutes.
Please request spa heat at least 48 hours before arrival, as we turn it off between bookings and sometimes it takes a whole day to heat up.

Please shower before entering the HydroPool and follow the posted care and safety rules. Extraordinary cleaning or draining caused by guest use may result in a $250 charge.

GAME ROOM
The separate game room is designed for both kids and adults, with retro video games, board games, art supplies, a drawer of curiosities, a hanging chair, a hat-lending library, Smart TV with Sonos soundbar, mini fridge and a queen memory-foam sleeper sectional.
You’ll also find yoga mats, weights and a foot and lower-leg massager — especially nice after a long Sedona hike — plus spa towels and a towel warmer.

CHEF’S KITCHEN
If you enjoy cooking, this is not the typical minimally stocked vacation-rental kitchen. You’ll find quality cookware and bakeware plus an air fryer, Instant Pot, Crock-Pot, blender, electric kettle, espresso machine with milk frother, drip coffee maker, French press and Moka pot.
We provide ground coffee, tea, hot chocolate, sugar, olive oil, salt, pepper and a generous selection of spices. Check what’s already here before grocery shopping — you may need less than you think.

LOCATION + SEDONA EXTRAS
Carroll Canyon Trailhead is just a few blocks away, connecting to miles of hiking and mountain-biking trails. Essex House is also convenient to restaurants, shopping and the rest of Sedona.
Guests receive our digital Sedona guidebook filled with our favorite hikes, restaurants and things to do, plus short videos explaining how things work at the house.
We also provide a Red Rock Pass for use during your stay, covering the $5 parking fee at participating trailheads.

GOOD TO KNOW — PROS & CONS
PROS: Beautifully designed and exceptionally well-equipped home; large private fenced backyard; 17-foot HydroPool; outdoor shower; chef’s kitchen; separate game room; multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces; excellent trail access.
CONS: The bedrooms are cozy/smaller than the home’s generous communal spaces, and some of the home’s older windows can occasionally stick.

Essex House is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Sedona quiet hours are 10 PM–7 AM, and this is not an appropriate property for parties, events or loud groups.

The HydroPool does not have a child-safety gate, so families with young children should consider this when booking.
