Rancho Manana offers 18 holes of some of the finest golf the area has to offer… not to mention that Tontos is rated one of the best restaurants in the entire valley. It is a great place to dine outdoors and enjoy the spectacular sunsets. The two courses at the Boulders is another favorite. There is always something going on in this picturesque resort community for the whole family to enjoy.
The inviting fireplace once the centerpiece of the original lounge, still warms guests as they dine beneath the dark, hand-carved beams of the historic ranch ceilings.

Owner's Map of Carefree
My wife and I grew up in the Mid-West, but we LOVE the mountains and climate of Arizona. Ever since we visited Carefree we've been going back to vacation as often as we can. As our family grew, we found Carefree to be the perfect place to escape the cold. A family friendly destination and golfers’ paradise, we found Carefree’s gentle climate perfect for enjoying the outdoors and all the thrilling variety of local attractions and activities. There was no question; we had to invest in our own "Carefree Home." We hope you'll enjoy all that Arizona has to offer. You'll want to keep coming back too!

Carefree Thanksgiving Vacation
Guest: We Love HHI
(Akron, Ohio)
Date of Stay: 11/19/11
Review Submitted: 12/05/11
My husband and I rented Karl's unit with another couple. The unit was clean, spacious, and very relaxing. Furniture was upscale and comfortable, as were the beds/linens. The home really does have everything you might need while visiting. We enjoyed the Carefree and Cave Creek areas - there is plenty to do between unique local restaurants and shops, as well as several parks in the area with nice hiking trails. The temps were in the low to mid 70's, so the hot tub and heated pool (generally around 85 degrees) were nice on the warmer days. It was very easy to pick up and drop off the key, and it's about a 35 minute drive to the Sky Harbor Airport. There were many dogs in the complex (Its pet friendly in most cases), so there was some barking in the early morning, etc., that could annoy. Internet access was also weak and intermittent. Although we were just checking email and surfing, it could be a problem if you absolutely needed to get work done while on vacation. We also used the fitness center up the road (by the tennis courts) and it had all the basic equipment to get a workout. Excellent dinner at Tonto's Bar and Grill, worth the trip just for the cuisine! I would recommend this unit, Karl was a pleasure to work with!

Our family travelled from Canada for our son's destination wedding in Scottsdale. From the initial contact with Karl to our refund deposit arriving in an extremely timely manner, we cannot say enough about our experience. The unit is really well furnished and equipped; the location relative to the pool is excellent; and Carefree is a lovely community, away from the tone of both Scottsdale and Phoenix. Family and friends were staying in other units in this complex and from experience, we can most certainly say that this unit far surpassed other units in quality, decor and location. Thank you Karl for all your assistance with a wonderful wedding week in your Carefree home!
Owner response:Thank you. I realize you have many choices and I appreciate you selecting my property for your destination and hope you visit us again soon. We work very hard at making your visit an enjoyable and affordable one so your comments are greatly appreciated-Karl

This was my second stay at this unit. The owner has what I consider to be a perfect property. I can find no faults. One can rent and enjoy without hesitation.
Owner response:Thanks Rick. Appreciate the kind remarks and look forward to your next stay. We recently added some new accessories and linens. We continue to look for ways to improve our visitors experience. Please keep us in mind the next time you decide to escape the cold and let us know if there is anything we can do to make your experience with us even better.

Wonderful Wedding Anniversary Villa Stay!

Review Submitted: 04/22/11
My wife and I had a great time staying at this beautifully furnished Care Free Villa. It exceeded all our expectations! We enjoyed the convenient location near the clubhouse pool and hot tub. Very quiet villa area with beautiful views. Really enjoyed the great room with the large kitchen and living room. Patio perfect for privacy. Master bedroom super comfortable with huge closet, large deep jet size tub and a big walk in shower. Can't say enough about how well the owner has taken care of his villa. Thoroughly enjoyed Care Free and Cave Creek. Dinner at Tonto's Bar and Grill including an awesome view of the golf course was terrific. Enjoyed a very good mexican dinner on the patio of El Encanto in Cave Creek. Went horseback riding at Saguaro Lake Ranch Stables which was fantastic. Rode up high over the lake and along Salt Creek. Well worth the drive to Mesa! If you go, have lunch on the patio overlooking Saguaro Lake at the Lakeshore Restaurant. Hiked some great trails at Cave Creek Regional Park. We love Care Free and hope to return next year. Highly recommend this villa!
Owner response:Ed, thank you and we look forward to having you back next year. Happy travels!

We stayed on the ground level of this beautiful 4 plex unit over the Thanksgiving 2010 holiday. The access to the pool was only 1/2 block away and very convenient. The floor plan and furniture were high end. The 2.5 bathrooms were a plus. We would recommend this for a return stay.

We stayed here over Christmas while visiting family in Cave Creek and really enjoyed this condo. We've stayed at The Boulders nearby in past years and were equally impressed with this unit. The decor was much nicer than many other units in the development. We'd definitely stay here again!

The villa was beautifully decorated and set in amazing surroundings. Living near London in England, it was definitely a welcome change to be staying in the tranquil Carefree area! Overall, a 10/10 experience and would certainly recommend.
