This property is wonderful. The inside is bigger than expected. Plenty of room to spread out. But the real gem is the pool and outside area. We enjoyed relaxing out side all day and into the evening. What a place to visit after a long cold winter. Will definitely try to book this home again.
5.0
The property was more then what I expected from the pictures. There is a certain peacefulness and serenity that the pictures could not capture.
Though there we a few tweaks I could see being helpful I would say I would most likely want to stay in the house again and would recommend to others looking to stay in the area.

Loved our stay. Great location and layout of the house. The pool was an extra plus. All was outstanding. Our only negative was that the patio furniture was worn out and could be updated.

The property was nice. Unfortunately the listing says (which is why we rented) pool can be heated for extra money. I personally called the owner directly a week before our arrival to get the pool heated and he stated “no heater”. At the time I didn’t get more information from him, unfortunately. Since it was a week away, we couldn’t change flights etc. We rented specifically for area and pool since it was early May.
Day of arrival we never received the code to access the house. Started making phone calls. We drove all the way there in hopes of it arriving. Finally we heard from the owners. They had thought they sent it. This is concerning since they were traveling and were in and out of reception! What would we have done if we couldn’t reach them due to no reception on their part?? Rented several VRBO’s and never once had this issue.
Tried using the beautiful washer and it would spin out. Repeatedly had to restart on a different settings. Took two hours to finally get a small load spun out. 😖😖😖 Tried getting help but didn’t receive a response.
Back to the whole pool “heater” issue as well as access into pool. We were two women in our mid 60’s. The drop to first step was deep and there wasn’t any pool rail to hold onto to help assist us out. This would of been very dangerous IF we could use the pool!! Without the heater the pool was ice cold!! Interesting enough, the pool guy came to clean the pool while we were home. We mentioned we would of liked the pool heated since the listing said it could be. He replied that next time we should ask the property owner so it will be done. Imagine his surprise when I said he told us “No Heater”. He looked over at the heater which was there and just chuckled. Seeing as we wouldn’t of touched something without being told we could as well as there was not time left to heat it up, we were QUITE DISAPPOINTED!!!
The house is very nice! Large yard but not rattlesnake fenced so pls be aware if you have a dog or dogs. Pool isn’t easy for young or older people to access. Forget about using the washer.

First of all the house is stunning! It’s beautifully appointed throughout with a touch of the owners personality evident through the decor. Everything you could have asked for was there. But now the location …. wow it was stunning & private, just a stones throw from the local amenities at Cave Creek. And finally the local wildlife - we saw chipmunks, rabbits , javelinas and a single coyote very close to the safely fenced property along with a multitude of birdlife. Pity our stay could only be a short one but we definately hope to be back.

The positive first the scenery is amazing . The pool was heated and great !!
Next is suggestions now . The internet is poor we used all our personal data on our phones to work and watch movies and shows it was satellite very slow! . There is no gas grill which we really enjoy . There is only 2 chase loungers for a house that sleeps 8 . The washing machine was Broke which was sad when we had no way to wash our 2 week worth of clothes!
The house is beautiful and the beds are very comfortable ! But will not return because of internet

This was our second visit, and it was just as wonderful as our first one. There was plenty of room for everyone to find a quiet spot, while there being enough room when everyone would come together. We loved lounging around the pool, while taking in the views. It's close location to everything made it perfect for those dinners out and outing adventures.

We came down with our 4 young children for spring break! We had the most incredible time! House is very comfortable, clean and accommodating! Everything we needed was there! We did a grocery delivery when we arrived and hardly had to leave! The pool is big, clean and provided hours of entertainment for our kids! We’re already planning our next stay at this beautiful home! Thank you!

The property is on a large private lot and is very well maintained. The home has charm and is very nicely decorated in the southwest theme. Kitchen has great appliances and is stocked with all needed utensils. Pool is very clean with connecting covered patio. Beautiful views of mountains and spectacular sunset.

I celebrated my 50th birthday with two friends at this wonderful, well stocked and clean home. We had a great time watching the sunrises from the back patio every morning- what a magnificent view! We also enjoyed many restaurants and shops in nearby Cave Creek. The house was conveniently located to this fun town. Definitely worth the trip from Ohio!
