A collection of vacation homes across Arizona.

Sunkasa offers waterfront properties on Arrowhead Lakes, desert retreats in Glendale and Scottsdale, and cabins in the pines of Flagstaff.

We started with a simple idea. The best place to stay should feel like someone’s favorite home. Not a hotel lobby. Not a rental that looks great in photos and disappoints in person. A space that’s well kept, well set up, and worth coming back to.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Sunkasa began with founder Ryan Chavez’s years in the travel world and a lifelong pull toward hospitality. He wanted the kind of stays you remember for the right reasons: clean, calm, well-run, and thoughtfully cared for. That’s why the Sunkasa collection is handpicked and held to a hotel-level standard. The goal is simple: a home that feels easy from check-in to check-out.

  • Every property earns its place. The layout has to work, the kitchen has to be usable, the beds have to feel right, and the outdoor space has to pull you outside. If a home does not clear that bar, it does not carry the Sunkasa name.

  • Booking should be straightforward. When you book direct, you skip platform fees and the back-and-forth that comes from a middleman.

  • Every home is cleaned to hotel-grade standards between stays. Fresh linens, restocked essentials, and a space that’s ready when you walk in.

Our Team

Sunkasa is run by a family team based in Arizona, with roots in the neighborhoods we serve. We don’t manage from a distance. We know the streets, the seasons, and what it takes to keep a home performing year-round. Guests get fast answers and clean, consistent stays. Homeowners get a team that treats the property like it’s next door.
