About this apartment rental
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!!!

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.

Just a short walk out the back gate to explore all the shops and great restaurants. Our stay happened to be Rodeo week, the Cave Creek Rodeo was Great!! Hope to return someday.

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.

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.

Everything about the rental was first class. Spacious 3 bed rooms gave us plenty of room. We loved the furnishings so pleasant to come back to after a day of biking, hiking or horseback riding. Cave Creek is a delightful area that still has the flavor of the old west.

Wonderful Cave Creek Condo
This is an exceptional property. This condo is beautiful and comfortable, and is located with an easy walk to town. A hike up Black Mountain is right outside your door. The interior is gorgeous with high end furnishings and art. As a cook, I appreciated the wonderfully stocked kitchen. Our family enjoyed the outside back porch with its comfortable seating. We would highly recommend this rental, and would give it more than 5 stars if we could!

Beautiful space inside and out. The property was wonderfully clean, spacious, gorgeous design and so well-appointed! Felt like a luxury retreat.

A wonderful Week!
My family and I had a wonderful, fun week at the condo. The condo was clean and the furnishings were very, very nice. In the age of Covid, we were still able to go hiking, (my children went rock climbing), horse back riding and do a little shopping. There was even a basket with wine and snacks for us when we arrived!
