My daughter and I stayed at this property in June, 2019. The home is well decorated and comfortable, very representative of the Cave Creek community. The shower in the master bath is wonderful! The kitchen is well equipped and beautiful! We enjoyed using the community pool and most days had it to ourselves. The community is quiet, but neighbors were friendly.
Our main issues with our stay could have easily been avoided. First, there were very few check-in details from the owner. A simple "welcome" sheet detailing wifi password, how to access the garage, information about the security and the Amazon Alexa, garbage schedule, etc., could have easily been detailed instead of having to reach out to the owner each time. The drawer we were directed to in order to find the garage opener, the gate clicker, and keys was a junk drawer, and it was difficult to find what we were looking for. The garage door opener in the drawer didn't work, we never found a gate clicker, and four days into our stay, we finally had to find the combo lock outside to get a key to the house to access the garage. The combo lock was on the gas meter nestled in some overgrown cactus. I felt like we were on a scavenger hunt for things that could have been easily organized. A system for checking in and check out would ensure that items needed for the next guest were returned and easily accessible.
Which leads us to the outside. The photos of the courtyard in the listing did not match what we found. The courtyard, whether an association issue or the homeowner's responsibility, had not been maintained. There was melted candle wax everywhere! An old bathroom cabinet from the renovation had been dumped out there. A decorative ladder had fallen across one of the patio doors. There was no table like in the photos, and leaves and debris were everywhere, especially on the steps we used everyday. Even though the weather was comfortable for June in Arizona, we didn't use the courtyard at all. It was a disappointment.
With more attention to detail, this property could really be special.
