We enjoyed our stay at Cactus Casita immensely! The suite had absolutely everything you need, and the decor and furnishings are so nicely done with a southwestern flair. The complex was convenient to everything from shopping, to golf, to MLB spring training, and was a quick trip to and from the airport. The pool area was beautiful, and Vanessa, the host, was very quick to respond to messages, was kind enough to accomodate us getting in an hour early when our flight landed early and everything else went smoothly enough to get us there a little before 3:00, and had great recommendations for things to do in the area. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Phoenix!

Place was great! we had booked three nights, arriving late the first night. Unfortunatlely, we discovered the next morning that a storm had made the pool and hottub unusable, so we asked her to refund our remaining time. Vanessa was very underdstanding and accomodating. 5 stars

Fantastic experience

We stayed in town for a week at this home and it was lovely. The home was well tended and had a functional layout. I appreciate a grpund level home, especially when traveling with kids! My children love waffles, which i menrioned and she made aure to set that out with a bowl and whosk upon our arrival, which for me was such a thoughtful thing. We had a little hiccup woth the lock but asode from that, everything was exactly what we needed and more!
