THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW: We're not property managers or real estate agents. This is our second home and we allow guests to stay in it while we are away. There are several outdoor security cameras located at this home. ALL of them are outdoors and only view outdoor areas. Two cameras are located in the front front porch area and view the entire entry patio and front door. The other cameras are located outside on the back of the home and view the backside of the property (not an accessible area for this listing). These three cameras are primarily for us to monitor the property exterior when guests or ourselves are not present, and their activity is recorded 24/7. Booking this unit is consent to their presence and operation and is an agreement not to cover, alter, or block their view or disconnect them from power or internet. While it’s located within our community, the nearby pool and gym facility is privately owned and under new management. They have eliminated a previous decades-long courtesy of allowing guests of private casita owners who are paid members of the club (such as us) to access the facilities.  As such, access to the nearby pool/jacuzzi/gym is no longer included with any of our listings or any other privately owned units.  Be aware that any golf casitas advertising pool access are timeshare units managed by a big timeshare company. Our casita is 100% privately owned and not a part of the timeshare company--there's no awkward sales pitches with our unit, we promise! :) This rental is registered with the Arizona Dept. of Revenue.
