About this property

La Joya del Desierto (The Jewel of the Desert) - Cave Creek

Surround yourself with the beauty of the Sonoran Desert. Situated in a private enclave, just a block away from the Historic Town of Cave Creek, it is a true desert jewel.

This 2,400’ luxury condominium is open, comfortable and clean, with the most amazing views. Walking into this well appointed condominium, your breath will be taken away at the attention to detail. Whether it’s the top-shelf furniture, the luxurious linens, or the fully-equipped gourmet kitchen, you will not be disappointed.

After you settle in and relax, kick off your shoes to take in a movie on one of the four flat screen 4K Smart TVs with Direct TV satellite. Just out the front door, you are steps away from mountain hiking on Black Mountain or dining at one of Cave Creek’s local famous eateries.

Whether it’s dining in the famous eateries, golfing at the Boulders, or Rancho Manana, window shopping at the fun eclectic store fronts, hitting one of the local art fairs or farmers market on Main Street, dancing until the wee hours, sitting at a local roastery drinking the best coffee Cave Creek has to offer, listening to live music each night, people watching (better than any airport), or just taking in all this western small-town has to offer, you’ll not run out of things to do. World Class Golf, and Fine Retail shopping are just a short drive to Scottsdale or Phoenix. We have it all!!!!

Once you’re done taking in the local sights, mountain biking, taking a lazy trail ride from a local stable, or just exploring the many trails and state parks surrounding Cave Creek, you can come back to your home-away-from-home and relax with a nightcap by the property’s heated pool or catch the Sonoran sunset and breathtaking views of Black Mountain Preserve off the patios.

With hundreds of events offered throughout the year in Cave Creek we welcome you!!!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Perfect, clean, place to stay in Cave Creek / Carefree

Stayed for two months as we are building a house in the area. This condo is newer, well furnished, well equipped. Beds comfy. Appreciated the clean garage and garage door opener. Minor maintenance items were taken care of during our stay. Ktichen is well equipped for most cooking tasks, better than most of the VRBO's we have rented. Neighbors are very friendly.

A little piece of AZ gold

What a terrific place to spend two weeks in Cave Creek. The owner (Robin) was terrific to deal with. Her place is not only comfortable and tastefully decorated but is in a quiet friendly little complex. We met most of the locals in the complex and they were all so friendly and helpful with dining and exploring suggestions. We plan to come back often. It is truly a jewel.

Paradise In The Desert

Brent and Robin's condo is so beautiful with its abundance of western decor. It is immaculately kept up and clean and makes "shoes off" so easy to follow! They are such wonderful people, that one can't help but respect their property! The small complex with pool, is extremely quiet and located within walking distance of the many attractions in Cave Creek, AZ. My only reservations for writing this review, is that I would rather keep this special place all to ourselves, Lol! Craig & Marlene H.

Wonderful?

As soon as we entered Robin’s beautiful home we were at peace. It is so clean and well appointed. The decorations are so tasteful. Everything is comfortable -beds, furniture, lighting, patio, towels, sheets. Every detail is taken care of. Communication was great. Location is ideal. We could walk anywhere. If we didn’t walk, everything else was a short drive. The restaurants, trails and people in Cave Creek are wonderful. We stay at VRBOs throughout the country and this is definitely one of favorites. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

The Best Home Away from Home!

My family and I had a fabulous time at this "jewel". My husband and I, along with our three sons, two daughters-in-law and 2-year-old granddaughter stayed for a week for Christmas 2018. This condo was perfect for our family's needs. It was amazingly roomy for eight of us. The decor and furnishings throughout are lovely. Sheryl did a beautiful job furnishing the condo in true Cave Creek desert style. Coming from Washington, we all found the desert decor so very interesting! All of us agreed that the beds and bedding were amazing and comfortable. It was so quiet at night, we all slept great. The house was furnished with everything we could have possibly needed and more. The kitchen had plenty of space for all of us to work together cooking. Sheryl was the BEST to work with. From the first time I tried to contact her, she responded almost immediately. I had many questions to make sure it would work for my family. We weren't exactly sure where we would have the 2-year-old for naps and bedtime where it was quiet and away from the rest of us. Sheryl went above and beyond to make her a little bedroom in the roomy walk-in closet of her Mom and Dad's room. Sheryl bought a little mattress, an adorable bedding ensemble, books, toys, stuffed animals and Christmas decorations for her. She thought she was in heaven in her own little room. The condo is in a perfect location and within walking distance to coffee, restaurants and shopping. We started each day with a walk to the coffee shop! And there was an incredible hike right outside the condos. I really can't say enough about this home away from home and the great memories we made thanks to Sheryl and her great effort to have everything perfect for us! Thank you Sheryl and David! We hope to return one day!

The property was everything that was advertised. Very clean and comfortable. The townhouse community was very peaceful and neighbors were friendly.
