Lux Scottsdale/ Carefree family retreat golf pool
Welcome to one of Pamela’s Premier Properties!
Bring the whole family to this luxurious resort-like Mediterranean retreat! It was built with comfort and elegance in mind with 6 bedroom and 4.5 bathrooms. Sleeps up to 16. 16 people is the max at any given time allowed. Spend your days soaking up the sun by the pool while the kids play in the garage game room, watch movies in the theatre room or play on the playground. There is also a putting green and hot tub. You’ll love the extra little treasures you’ll find while exploring the beautiful private gated almost 2 acres.
*** PLEASE NOTE: this is NOT the house to rent for weddings or parties*** Please don’t even ask.
Excessive guest count or excessive noise will not be tolerated. Very exclusive neighborhood and closely monitored. Please be advised of rules before booking as we have systems in place to immediately detect and shut down large group gatherings. If this happens you will be forced to leave and no refund will be given. Per Carefree city policy, we require ID verification prior to your stay. Once you book, we ask that you send a photo of your ID along with a selfie of you holding your ID. We also must get your guest count, and per city rules again we have a max of 16 guests. We want you to relax, have fun and enjoy yourself of course… but these policies are necessary due to the popular trend of pay per attendance “mansion parties “.
