This is a beautiful home in Cave Creek. The home is well organized and you won’t want for anything. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen has anything you would need, they have a drip & a Keurig. The pool is a wonderful size. There are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores close by. The owner is wonderful to work with. We will definitely use them again.

Thank you so much Terri for your wonderful review. Hope to see you again soon. Cheers, Peter
Our family stay was for two weeks and the amenities met the needs of all! The four bedrooms were very comfortable and clean as were the three bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped and designed making it easy to prepare meals when we wanted to eat at home. The pool is large in a private setting. We encountered a couple of problems at the start with the pool, but Peter responded very quickly to resolve the problems.

Thank you for choosing our home for your vacation Kenneth and for taking such good care of her home, I was happy to make your experience a great one.
We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the house and that it met all of your expectations, you were superior guests! Come back anytime :-)
Our hosts were fantastic! Answering all questions very quickly and made it clear they were available anytime. The home was clean and comfortable. Its spacious and inviting. Pride of ownership was apparent. This home is in a l9vely neighborhood! We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend it!
This home was the perfect place for our group of six, as there were 3 private bathrooms for each couple and two separate lounging spaces. The kitchen was spacious, with a large dining table. The home was very clean, and the decor was appropriately southwestern style. It was warm and cozy, and the private pool area was landscaped beautifully. The location of this home was close to Cave Creek, which is a very unique town. Phoenix and Scottsdale were a short drive, and Sedona was less than 2 hours away. The owner was easy to communicate with and he responded very promptly to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again! Beautiful home!

Thank you Sara, you and your friends were a pleasure to have as our guests. Thank you for taking such good care of our home during your stay! A :)
We spent the winter in the home and loved it. It’s in a nice gated community in Cave Creek just off of Care Free Highway. We love the area and the home was very comfortable. We highly recommend this place and will try to get it again if we come back to Cave Creek.
Great but WITH CAVEATS: The house was great the owner was nice BUT we did not find out until 3 days before the trip (when we got rental agreement) and well after the cancellation deadline that parking was not allowed on the street. That is the kind of thing people should know about especially for house that can accommodate 8 guests. We had to park 3rd car down the street at shopping center. Not convenient or safe. The description says 2 cars in the driveway but does not say no parking in street. Tip to all owners: If you are going to require a rental agreement, you should have a generic copy w/o sensitive info available in your listing.

Hello Gabriel, thank you for your review. As a note, I have always had in my ad under parking that there is off street parking for two cars and under additional notes, no street parking. You may have missed it when reading the ad. There are no caveats.
I checked in with you on a few occasions to see how your stay was and if you needed anything at all, you did not mention any of this. If you would have communicated with me while you were there instead of after the fact in a review, my neighbor would have let you park your extra cars in their driveway as they don't own cars, only motorcycles. We have always been very accommodating to my guests for years and it shows in our reviews. I wish you well.

Peter and Angelina's home in a gated and very quiet Cave Creek community was exactly as advertised. The home is very spacious, well maintained and clean. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials. The pool area was great for relaxing after a day of exploring/hiking in the Cave Creek and Carefree areas. This is our third year staying in the Cave Creek area and we love everything that this location has to offer. Peter was the best host that we have experienced booking through Vrbo. He was truly concerned that every aspect of our stay met our expectations, and checked in with us periodically to make sure we were comfortable. When we did have a question he responded immediately. We had an excellent stay and highly recommended their property.

The home was aesthetically appealing and functional for a group of men to play golf for a month.
Perfect for fathers, sons, grandsons, and nephews from New England to enjoy Cave Creek’s weather and take advantage of the many golf courses from the home into Scottsdale. Located right on the Dove Valley course, it was quiet and it was easy to get to that course for an afternoon nine.
We took advantage of the pool (which needed to be heated for this time of year) and the outdoor fireplace and loved the privacy of the neighborhood.
Any services; groceries, restaurants, or anything else you might need were closely located.
The house was well laid out, plenty of beds and baths for our group - 5 guys. Peter, the owner, was responsive to any questions or needs during our stay.
We’ll definitely be back and the older retired guys in the group hope it will be for longer.

My husband and brother-in-law and I had a very nice stay at Peter's place. We were in town for a surgery my husband was having at Mayo Clinic. As a result we needed a few special accommodations and Peter was very willing to work with us and eager to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. I don't think anyone could ask for a more accommodating host. As for the home itself, it was spotlessly clean and quite comfortable. The house is a little more automated than I would prefer but that is just my preference. The doors lock automatically, room temperature resets itself and most things can be controlled remotely by the homeowners. Once we got used to it, it was fine. We really appreciated the place and it is amazing for the price. Would encourage anyone to give it a try.
This property was as pictured. We really enjoyed having a pool. Also restaurants and Grocery store all within walking distance. The owner was always quick to respond to our inquiries
We enjoyed a month at this lovely vacation rental and had a wonderful time. The home is clean and spacious and the backyard pool area feels like paradise! Peter is a gracious and attentive host, and he is very responsive to questions. We would definitely stay here again! Great neighborhood!

Thanks also for being such great guests and taking care of the house. You are invited to come back anytime when you need some sunshine and R&R! :)

A perfect house for us especially leaving the rain in the NW and wanting to stay safe during rise of Covid. We were able to work and do schooling with teenager while swimming and barbecuing daily in a great backyard oasis. Weather was perfect, mostly in the 70-80's. Market was walking distance for groceries, and some great take out options close-by as well. Meat market in Carefree was excellent as well as Jalapeño Inferno and El Encanto. We did some scenic drives but mostly stayed in and enjoyed the heated pool and home. Plan to return again in 2021.

Peter and Angelina were great hosts. Great home to Rent.
The house is as shown on VRBO. It was very clean and well kept. Highly recommend paying extra to heat the pool if you are going to use it during March or April. It was fabulous. Our trip was cut a week short due to the Corona Virus, which shut down Spring Training. Peter was very understanding and accommodating, giving us a credit. We will definitely rent again from Peter and look forward to our next trip to AZ.

Four of us from Texas came for roping, drag races and spring training baseball! House was pretty centrally located for everything we needed, close to the grocery and other necessities we needed during our stay. Roomy, comfy and perfect!
