We keep our collection deliberately small — never more than we can walk ourselves. Every door code, every path to the water, every sunrise checked by someone who lives here.

Founded by locals, run by locals. Every home is walked weekly, every guest met by name, and every recommendation comes from someone who actually lives on this coast.

This week on the water

The best seat is on the deck.

Golden hour, quiet water, and long evenings outside. Many of our homes face the sunset head-on — we stock the deck chairs and leave the lights low.

Small by design

When the big managers moved in with lockboxes and call centers, we went the other way — fewer homes, kept perfectly, hosted in person. Years on, we still walk every property before every arrival.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at CareFree in Indio while celebrating my husband’s 45th birthday with our family and friends! The home was beautiful, spacious, clean, and had everything we needed to make our celebration special. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves, and the pool and game room were a huge hit with both the adults and the kids. The house was perfect for entertaining and spending quality time together, and the overall atmosphere made our weekend feel like a true getaway. Our host was wonderful—very responsive, accommodating, and helpful throughout the entire process. Everything was exactly as described, and we truly appreciated how easy and seamless the stay was. We created so many great memories at Care free and it was the perfect place to celebrate such a special milestone with the people we love. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful home for a group getaway or celebration! Than

It was a top tier experience for me and my family! It was a 5 star experience! It’s a pity we did not book sooner and longer. Would 100% recommend and we will definitely be back in the future for a longer stay. Thank you so much, Edward!
