House was great. Needs a little updating but we loved having the casitas by the pool so everyone could spread out. Wonderful sunset views! jets in tub didnât work though and handles needed attention as they were lose. They needed to provide a high chair and not charge for one since this was an expensive property. All in all we had a wonderful time.
The property does have jaw dropping views and has a lot of potential. The actual property management was not what we expected at the price point. There was minimal supplies (ie toilet paper, paper towel...), the kitchen sink tap was broken as was the sink by the bbq. The doors were very finicky to close and lock. The Casitas were very basic, and the beds had very sub par pillows, all of our guests complained of sore necks. The furniture was showing wear and tear and staining. And the pool was 150 a day to heat and extra 1000 for the week. If you are just looking for a lot of bedrooms for a group to stay this would likely work, but if you are looking for an upscale home to enjoy time all together there are just enough irritating upgrades that need to be done. The property could definitely use some attention and it has potential to be a 5 star stay. Just not what we expected and had some clear disappointments in the stay.
It was my husband's birthday and we had 3 other couples join for a weekend of mountain bike riding, dining, celebrating and just fun and relaxation. This property was close to everything and perfect for the celebration.
Great house for a family gathering. Very responsive management group. The two Casitas were basic but the main house was upscale and very comfortable with all the amenities.
This property is exactly what we were looking for for our family of eight. The hosts were very responsive and helpful if we had any questions. The pool temperature was heated to the perfect temperature for November. Safe and quiet neighborhood
We had a wonderful time at the Carefree Crest! Beautiful views, quiet location, comfortable home all made for a wonderful vacation. The management company was very responsive and a pleasure to work with; we would definitely stay here again if we are ever in this area.
Great spot for multiple couples to stay. Nice to have spacious common areas but also have privacy with separation of bedrooms and casitas. Some of the house can use some updates. Needs new furniture around the pool.
Property was very Nice.
Cassista needs updating. No trash cans, Upstairs Kitchen not functionable. (Note says "do not use") Maybe a Micro-wave would be better. No Shower Water Pressure if another plumbing fixture being used. Upstairs Bathroom Sink Drains very slow. Watching toothpaste floating as you wash-up. Called twice and they said it was fixed. Just lived with it after that.
Main House.
False Vrbo Advertisement for Bath for each Bedroom. Main House 3rd Bedroom Bathroom was downstairs in Movie Room and not near 3rd Bedroom upstairs. Tuff for Peron with knee problems going up and down.
Pool very nice and clean. A Hand Railing is needed for getting in and out of the Pool. Tuff for Seniors.
Cleaning fees were too much for not getting any type of Housekeeping during the week.
Overall, we enjoyed Location and Quiet Neighborhood. Views were fantastic.
Thanks for letting us stay at The Carefree Crest.

Wonderful home with all the amenities. We had 10 people and everyone had their own space from sleeping to bathrooms! Plenty of space to gather at mealtimes too! Our only suggestions would be non-stick cookware, more kitchen towels and black out shades in the bedrooms. The water pressure is still not great when someone is doing the dishes or two people are showering at the same time, but it all worked out fine! Cave Creek is a really fun little town! We will definitely stay again!
Pros---- Beautiful house and location. Working with Stay Porter went smoothly.
Cons--- If you are going to continue renting this house out you REALLY need to do something about the water pressure. If more than 1 person takes a shower at the same time the water pressure is bad, especially in the front bedroom. Had been mentioned in prior reviews, was hoping the issue had been resolved by the time of our stay.
Truly a wonderful home and experience. I only wish we had stayed longer. The views especially at sunset were amazing and the interior exceeded expectations. While it was only two of us, we certainly could and will think about bringing friends next time.
