Great property far enough away from the crowds but close enough to access all the attractions that the Valley has to offer. Very clean and well appointed. Hosts could not have been more friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed the fire pit and rooftop observation area. Hope to return in the future.

We could not have been happier with our stay! The casita was just as the photos depict, beautiful, clean, comfortable, and inviting. The amenities were second to none; great outdoor spaces, a beautiful kitchen for cooking meals, plenty of pantry staples, and a goodie basket that keeps calling you back for more. We had our two dogs with us, and the fenced-in backyard was the perfect spot for them. The surrounding area offers easy dog walks right from your door. They provide a map that lets you choose any duration you want, from a quick block walk up to a 3-mile loop without ever being on a busy road. This property felt like home.

This VRBO was fantastic for our vacation! Great living space inside and outside. Kitchen fully equipped for in house meal prep with full spice rack and other necessities. Extra amenities such as ping pong table, bags game, mountain bikes were all in great shape to be used. Easy bike ride to extensive mountain bike trails directly from casita. Great fenced yard for dog to enjoy as well. Nightly sunsets on the roof top to end the day. Highly recommend this casita and hope to return soon!

Outstanding stay. The many positive reviews are all true. The casita easily exceeded our expectations.
So much better than any hotel. Room to stretch out and relax in quality surroundings. All the amenities are first rate, plus superhosts Bill and Joanne are nearby and available should you need anything during your stay.
We unfortunately had one of our family need hospitalization while on our visit and Bill and Joanne could not have been more helpful. They did their very best to accommodate all our needs and we are most grateful.

We stayed ten nights, family of three and everything was wonderful. Small, private yard and clean garage. House/casita had everything we needed with very nice touches like snacks and drinks when we arrived. Would stay again!

Place was quiet, clean and as advertised. I especially appreciated the responsiveness of the owner/manager. Most places seem to take a day to check their messages, but Darcy was on top of every communication. Thanks!

Once again, the Walton's have enabled us with a wonderful experience. The casita remains an absolute delight, and the extra amenities (snacks, water and drinks in the fridge, etc) make it a very special place to rent. It is perfectly located to be quiet and secluded at night, but right in the heart of shopping, dining and golf. It is a perfect place, which we certainly intend to visit again and again.

This is our second time staying in this beautiful home and we'll definitely will be back. It's always a treat to open that refrigerator door and look at all the assorted beverages.
Bill and Joanne are wonderful hosts extremely helpful but not intrusive....
Thank you again,

A perfect location to enjoy the Sonoran Desert while being close to all the amenities of Scottsdale and the attractions of Cave Creek and Carefree. We were able to spend five wonderful weeks at this Casita with it's own secluded, fenced cactus garden (including a mature Saguaro) which we enjoyed from the covered, wrap-around patio. The fire pit was ideal for the cooler evenings and we saw spectacular sunsets from the observation deck and also watched the patrolling coyotes.
Our hosts, Bill and Joanne, gave us a warm welcome and ensured that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. They paid close attention to every detail and provided a wonderful selection of drinks, and wine, plus a large, loaded welcome basket. Lynn had to work while we were there and Bill helped set up the high speed internet, which was fast and reliable. The hosts lived next door which means that they are available if anything needs attention.
The accommodation was very comfortable and everything worked well. The place was spotless on our arrival. There were plentiful supplies of consumable items, towels, linen and bedding. The kitchen was well equipped and we did a lot of cooking, as well as enjoying the many local restaurants. We bought a slow cooker with us, but there was one there already!
We had Amber, our Golden Retriever, with us and she was welcomed and she loved the fenced garden as well as all the local walks in the neighbourhood and meeting the local horses and dogs. There are many good trails in the mountains just a short car ride away and we tried to take Amber on one every day.
There were a couple of well maintained bikes and I enjoyed riding up Pima Road to Carefree. There was a DVD player and we were able to see a number of classic movies from Bill's collection.
Overall it was a most enjoyable and comfortable stay at the Casita and we would stay there again if we can muster the spirit for the five day drive from Ottawa, Canada. Many thanks to Joanne and Bill.

Throughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. The reviews are all spot on! The owners have a beautifully decorated home, offering travelers a quiet, upscale, secluded sanctuary, yet is very close to all the areas attractions. Fully stocked with everything you would expect and more. The gracious Welcome Basket set the tone for our stay. The owners most definitely have the hospitality thing down....could never say enough good about our stay. A highlight of our trip for sure! Thanks and we hope to be back!

We really enjoyed our stay for Spring Training this year. We like to find a place with a pool for our 11 year old nephew but weren't able to this time around. He was thrilled to find a ping pong table in the garage and even suggested we stay at Bill's again next year. Bill and his wife were accommodating to an early check in and greeted us upon our arrival. The property is well maintained and very comfortable. Thanks for everything!

This home is a delight! Everything you might need to spend an enjoyable vacation. Quiet area...high end furnishings...comfortable beds...easy access to shopping. The owners couldn't have been more gracious. Definitely a western vibe throughout. Sunset views and cocktails from the upper observation desk are a must!

A wonderful welcome of wine, a basket full of snacks and amenities awaited us upon arrival. The kitchen is fully equipped and the refrigerator was full of bottled and sparkling water, as well as a host of additional drinks for our enjoyment. The Keurig coffee maker was my go-to small appliance. We enjoyed a wide variety of area dining rather than prepare meals. However, every step has been taken to assure any visiting "chef" creative measure.
The gracious owners take great care to present an impeccable home. That same care is evident in the gorgeous landscaping surrounding the patio where my husband and I enjoyed breakfast in the morning...or wine in the late afternoon. The roof-top patio in the evening is equally pleasant.
We enjoyed every day during our 8 day "get away" to visit family and friends in the area. Fantastic golf courses, restaurants, museums, and shopping are all within a 10-20 minute drive.
Quite frankly, we didn't want our "flawless" visit to end!
