Villas of Cave Creek

The Resort & Setting

Villas of Cave Creek is an independent timeshare property with RCI affiliation, located in the town of Cave Creek, Maricopa County, Arizona. Being independent rather than part of a large hotel-brand chain, the resort is managed on its own terms, with its RCI tie-in giving owners access to the wider RCI exchange network of affiliated resorts. It's a straightforward fixed-week or points-based ownership model typical of smaller desert resorts in this part of Arizona.

The Area and Things to Do

Cave Creek has a reputation as an old-school Arizona town with a Western, artistic streak — think galleries, saddle shops, and local restaurants rather than high-rise resort strips. Cave Creek Regional Park is just a couple of miles away and is the obvious pick for hiking and desert scenery. Carefree, the neighbouring arts-and-boutique town, is a short drive away. Further afield, Scottsdale's Taliesin West gives architecture fans a reason to make a day of it, and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is close enough for a manageable drive in or out. The cooler months, roughly October to April, are when most visitors come, since the desert heat in summer is a real factor to plan around.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at Villas of Cave Creek and are considering selling or renting out your week, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — owners pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers, rather than a cut of the sale price going to a broker.

Because Villas of Cave Creek is an independent resort, resale isn't routed through a large branded resale desk — it typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort or its management: the transfer fee for putting the week into a new owner's name, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and the current annual maintenance fee. These details vary from resort to resort and aren't standardised, so get them in writing rather than assuming. A resale buyer should also clarify exactly what transfers — the usage week or points allocation, and whether RCI exchange privileges carry over with the ownership — since exchange network membership itself is sometimes a separate enrolment handled through RCI rather than something automatically bundled into the deed transfer.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Renters typically look for a clear week or season, confirmation of unit size and sleeping capacity, and straightforward contact with the owner — all things a seller should spell out clearly in a listing. Buyers researching Villas of Cave Creek should ask about the resort's RCI affiliation status directly, since exchange access and any associated fees are set by RCI and the resort, not by the resale marketplace.
