About this property

Cozy Casita w/ Mtn View + Pool & Hot Tub Access

Experience the beauty of Arizona when you stay at this cozy 1-bed, 1-bath Carefree vacation rental! Situated on 1.8 acres of private land, this townhome provides a secluded area to relax, unwind, and create unforgettable memories with your loved ones. Spend your days splashing around in the heated pool, firing up the grill and enjoying a delicious BBQ, or relaxing on the balcony and admiring the panoramic views of the desert. End the night by the fire pit, roasting marshmallows under the stars!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Living Room: Queen Murphy Bed | Additional Sleeping: Full Air Mattress (Upon Request)

This beautiful Carefree casita is situated on a 1.8-acre private estate, offering all the comforts of home in a stunning desert location. When you need a break from the southwestern sun, head into the spacious living room and relax on the comfy sectional. As you stream an Arizona classic like 'Stagecoach' on the flat-screen Smart TV, you'll have gorgeous desert views out the large glass doors.

Don't feel like going out to dinner? Whip up a snack in the kitchenette and enjoy a cozy night in.

Find respite from the chilly desert evenings in front of the electric fireplace or around your private patio's fire pit before retreating inside for the evening.

As your friends drift to sleep in the queen Murphy bed, head up the spiral staircase to the bedroom suite. Complete with a Queen bed, panoramic views, and a flat-screen Smart TV, this lofted space feels truly 5-star.

After a morning cup o' Joe on the furnished balcony, take advantage of the property's Oasis pool. Sitting just steps from the casita, the pool area will transport you to an all-inclusive tropical resort.

If you're traveling with a larger group and require additional sleeping accommodations, see Evolve listing 404966, a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom vacation rental townhome casita that sleeps 5 and accommodates up to 6.

Spectacular views!
The location was fantastic! Quiet and serene with the most awesome views of the mountains, sunrise and sunsets! The host was very accommodating and helpful. We have been to Scottsdale multiple times and stayed at various resorts and condos. This casita was by far the best experience we have had. We will definitely be back!

Carefree mountain home
We had a beautiful stay at this casita! The locations is a 45 min. drive from PHX, but the location is beautiful and unique, tucked into the hills. The pool is lovely, and the views are AMAZING! I think it’s a great cozy stay for 2 people. 4 might be tight, as the upstairs bedroom is a loft and the downstairs bed is a Murphy bed in the middle of the main living area. Very quiet area, with country western towns nearby. The views sell it!!

beautiful property
This a beautiful property on a beautiful site. The owner is very hospitable and helpful. The main bedroom is up a spiral staircase which makes it difficult for people with mobility issues to access. The only bathroom is on the first floor. The second bed on the first level is like a rollaway and is marginally comfortable. There is wifi, TV, and limited cooking area with a microwave and electric skillet and small refrigerator. There is an adjacent patio with a pool and BBQ and magnificent views of the mountains and desert. There is a shopping center just a short drive from the property. All in all it was an enjoyable stay but not for someone who is handicapped. The owner is very nice and accommodating and lives on site.

not worth the price of admission
needs to be cleaned, the tin spiral staircase not functional for most, murphy bed is in super odd loacation, turn on the shower and wait ten minutes for warm water to arrive from main house, tiny jaccuzi only heated upon request, pool side patio looks right into owners house…. no thanks for nearly 500 a night…….

Best place to stay in North Scottsdale!!!!!
Fantastic property with unparalleled views of Black Mountain and the Sonoran Desert from many vantage points. The host is very responsive, welcoming, and wants to ensure a great stay. The property is well stocked and the hot tub Is nice and hot with palm tree and Mountain views. We were able to walk to grocery, restaurants, & trails. It’s the best of both worlds as close to Cave Creek which is more of a ‘cowboy’ feel town, but close enough to all Scottsdale has to offer. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Fabulous and Relaxing
Only here two nights but it was perfect and the owner so very nice!!! Very close to Carefree Town Center an easy and lovely walk. This had everything you could want or hope for. The kitchenette was well stocked with dishes, utensils and glasses; coffee maker, toaster, microwave and refrigerator. Appreciated the provided information on the surrounding area as well. This is a wonderful place to stay and explore the Northern Scottsdale area of the Phoenix area. We also thoroughly enjoyed taking a dip in the lovely pool after a busy day.

Fabulous Property
We originally planned to stay in Scottsdale for a recent golf trip now that we've completed both Covid vaccinations. We found this beautiful casita located in Carefree that was in a beautiful residential setting surrounded by desert and mountain views. We had nearby access to The Boulders golf course for both golf and dinner on the outside deck as well as other golf courses, including Camelback and Eagle Mountain.⛳🏌️‍♂️ Bashir was a great host and always accessible, especially to turn on the hot tub heater to warm it up after a full day of golf. The casita was in the pool area where another couple was also renting the adjacent space; however, the property has great space so each had their own privacy as desired. I first thought the upstairs bedroom might be a challenge with those nightly trips to the downstairs bathroom, having had a previous hip surgery but it was not a problem and replaced my weekly workouts at home. Overall, a great experience and we would not hesisitate to stay there again and invite friends and family to book the adjoining property for the total experience.

Carefree Casita
Spent three nights in late February. Unit is clean and modern. A bit small for anything more than a couple, but very nice for two. The owner, Bashir, was very nice and welcoming -- went over everything upon our arrival, then left us alone but making clear he was available should we need anything -- a very good host. Location is very convenient to the grocery store and restaurants in Carefree. Had a great time.
