About Us

Our Journey

Mark and Nyles didn’t start as property managers. They started as owners, just like you. When they bought a short-term rental together in Scottsdale, they realized it wasn’t performing the way it should. So they took over management themselves, built out the systems, and figured out what actually worked.

Once they did, it was clear plenty of other owners were dealing with the same frustrations. That’s how Roadrunner Escapes was born. Not from a boardroom, but from real experience in the same market they now serve. That hands-on approach is the same one they bring to every property they manage today.

Our Story

This journey started when 2 friends bought a short term rental in Scottsdale, AZ together. Then Mark & Nyles found out that their property was underperforming. From that moment on they took over the management. After putting all of the systems and process’s in place we ventured out to start serving other owners who were facing similar struggles.

The hands on approach and always focusing on the details to perfect every step of the process is what helped turn our company into a success!

We can’t wait to hear about your property to see if we are a good fit for each other!

What Our Partners Say

★★★★★ Verified owner & guest reviews

Had a fantastic stay in north Scottsdale! We had a little sales retreat and there was plenty of room on the property to do our goal settings in or outdoors! The home was clean and reasonably priced (as well as awesome!!). Can’t wait to do it again next year!!

I booked this house for my large family to celebrate my mom’s 50th birthday in Scottsdale Az. The house was perfect for our group which consisted of many children and adults. Nobody felt like we were on top of each other and there was a lot of entertainment options in the backyard. The neighborhood was safe and quiet and we felt all of our planned excursions were easy to navigate to from the home. The backyard is the biggest perk of the house. We had people swimming in the pool, someone grilling, others playing pink pong, and a group watching a movie in the outdoor living room and it made for such relaxing and warming evenings after a full day of hiking. I would stay here again.

Stayed at one of their luxury houses in North Scottsdale and WOW what an amazing house. Also the hosts were super responsive and gave recommendations for some cool spots. Look at this sunset view we had!
