Your private Cave Creek desert escape

Welcome to your own private Arizona oasis, a spacious four-bedroomp Scottsdale/Cave Creek area.

Designed for relaxed indoor-outdoor living, the home gives up to eight guests plenty of room to spread out while keeping you close to some of North Scottsdale and Cave Creek's best golf, hiking, dining and shopping.

With multiple outdoor seating areas, six pool loungers, a hammock and plenty of privacy, the backyard feels more like a private desert resort than a typical vacation rental.

The Home:

Inside, approximately 2,400 sq ft of bright, comfortable living space creates an easy place for families and friends to stay together.
The open-plan living area includes comfortable seating, a fireplace and TV, while the fully equipped kitchen has everything needed for anything from morning coffee to dinner for the whole group.

Tatum Ranch Golf Club — approx. 6 minutes
Boulders Golf Club — approx. 7 minutes
Troon North Golf Club — approx. 9 minutes
The location also puts you within easy reach of Cave Creek's restaurants and Western attractions as well as Spur Cross Conservation Area, Cave Creek Regional Park, Pinnacle Peak and the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. vrbo
North Scottsdale dining and shopping are nearby, while Old Town Scottsdale makes an easy day or evening trip.

Whether you're coming to Arizona for golf, hiking, sunshine or simply a few quiet days by the pool, the house gives you the space and privacy to enjoy it your way.

Why guests return:

Guests consistently mention the privacy, spacious backyard, pool area, cleanliness and attentive hosting, with several saying that the property is even better in person than the listing suggests. vrbo

We'd love to welcome you to Cave Creek.

We really enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave. We enjoyed the area and stars at night from the hot tub. My favorite thing was the perfect little garden where me and my four year old daughter gathered herbs for our meals. Thank you for sharing you beautiful space!

Wonderful Desert Getaway

This property was perfect for our family of four. Very spacious and clean with more amenities then I have seen in past vrbo rentals. The backyard was magical for us which is where we spend most of our time. Our young girls really enjoyed the pool and hottub which is so secluded it felt like a private resort. Also so close to shopping and city we could travel to Scottsdale/Tempe for events and get back very quickly. Highly recommend can't wait to come back!

Wonderful resort-style home.

Our family chose this proprty for our spring vacation based on the number of bedrooms and baths, but mostly for the incredible back yard. We felt like we were at a resort, but had the entire place to ourselves to enjoy the sun, pool, hot tub, and outdoor dining. The hosts promptly answered all of our booking questions and provided some advice on local activities. Everything is the house and back yard was well labled, with instructions on how to use all of the equipment. We hope this is not our only trip to this property, it was perfect for us.

Fantastic property in beautiful Scottsdale.

It's rare in life that you get something that was actually under represented, but this was one of those nice occurrences. The house was better than described, the views from the patio are spectacular, the house has an open floor plan and is extremely comfortable. The owners were extremely responsive, and very helpful. A little tricky to find the first time, but they helped us through it. Highly recommend!

Cave Creek Retreat

Beautiful and comfortable home in Cave Creek. Large yard with very old cactus, swimming pool, and large hot tub. Wedged between great hiking trails and high-end golf courses, we really enjoyed our stay here. Neighborhood is very secluded and quiet. Bedrooms were comfortable as was the living room equipped with large-screen tv. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. There are good paths to walk in neighborhood, but we really loved all of the nearby trails in Scottsdale and Cave Creek.

Spacious home with amazing backyard!

We rented this home for our spring break travel. It has so much to offer! The home is well maintained and very clean. There was more than enough room for my family of 4 to spread out and relax with 4 bedrooms. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals and the grill made dinner easy. The backyard is absolutely gorgeous!! It can entertain for days. We enjoyed hanging by the pool and relaxing in the hot tub after long hikes. The desert landscaping is beautiful. The owner is kind, thoughtful and easy to communicate with. This property was 10/10 and we would stay again if our travels bring us back to the area.

Better than pictures - #2!

We booked this property because it was around the corner from where our Daughter was hosting her wedding. We rented this property with okay expectations. Let me tell you, the place was great. My wife and I believe the property is nicer than the VRBO pictures. The house was very clean and the multiple temperature zones are a plus. The backyard had a nice sitting area with a grill. We used this area multiple times to hang out and make lunch. The hot tub was clean and had nice nighttime lighting. The firepit also had nighttime lighting with plenty of seating. The pool was big, very clean, and had a nice waterfall feature. It did not have a heater option, but we felt it was not required. We were very nervous when we saw that the property had live chickens but once we started to use the fresh eggs, it was a great feature. I provided some feedback to the property owners to help future guests with the welcome instruction, but they were a 5-star rating on their responsiveness. They did a great job communicating via the VRBO application. Which being a heavy user of VRBO rentals is a must. I highly recommend this property.

Fantastic Cave Creek, AZ House - Come on in, it’s all GREAT !!!

Great House + Great Host = Awesome Vacation This house has it all. The location is great, close to stores, restaurants and recreation. Yet, once you are there, you feel like you are in a remote house in the desert. The inside of the house is spacious and has everything you need. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you need if you wish to prepare/serve your own meals. Master bedroom is comfortable and bathroom has 2 sinks and walk-in shower. Living room has very comfortable seating and large TV. The backyard is a desert oasis. The pool chairs are very comfortable. The host even provides pool towels. Backyard is private and spacious. Plenty of poolside seating, and nice outside seating area next to the house to avoid the sun and occasional rain. If you like nature, lots of bird watching close by. The entire property is clean and well maintained. This was our first VRBO rental. This property exceeded my expectations. Communication with the host is easy and very timely responses. The host really cares about your experience and it shows in every facet of the rental experience. This property sets the bar very high for future vacation house rentals. We definitely plan to return next year. A “no-brainer” decision if I ever had one.

Fantastic Cave Creek House Rental

We just completed our second stay at this house.We love the private, spacious backyard pool area. Pool area has southern exposure, great for relaxing in the Arizona sun. Table with umbrella and 4 chairs poolside is great to take a break from the sun. The house has a covered patio that allows you to sit outside in the shade to avoid direct sunshine and take cover from occasional rain.Kitchen is fully furnished with everything you need. Keurig coffeemaker is nice. Refrigerator has ice maker that works well. Plenty of cookware, cutlery, plates and glassware.Beds are comfortable, showers work well with plenty of hot water.House is located in a nice, quiet, almost rural neighborhood. We like to take daily walks, great for that. Neighbors are friendly and welcoming.Great restaurant and grocery store are minutes away. Lots of great hiking nearby. Two great parks are less than a hour away and worth visiting (check out Lake Pleasant and Cave Creek Regional).Beautiful Sedona is less than two hours away and an easy day trip.In summary, this is a great house with great hosts. The attention to details and top notch maintenance is readily apparent. You are not renting from a large real estate company, but from people who truly care about your satisfaction.If you are into bird watching, this neighborhood will not disappoint. Lots of hummingbirds !We plan to book this property again next year. Absolutely no reason to go elsewhere, this place is perfect.
