Lovely place to stay in Scottsdale

We had a wonderful stay at Dos Cacti! Updated and all amenities were as described. We loved watching the starlings nest in the large cacti in the backyard. The bikes worked great and we enjoyed riding them in the nearby park. The owner/manager was available and very helpful.

Modern clean home in a great location

Classic ranch home with quality and tasteful upgrades. Comfortable furniture and well stocked and equipped in the kitchen- refreshing when so many VRBOs give you the minimum. Perfect location very convenient to Old Town and shopping. Stayed here for four nights over the Holidays with two teenage sons. Very responsive host. Great place to book!

Quick Getaway to Get Some Sun

This property was well appointed and modern. The pool and hot tub were great. Although it does require some technical understanding to operate the i-pad to turn things on and off. Location is close to downtown Scottsdale and hiking/biking the trails up North.

Great Thanksgiving stay

We had a great time here. The house was perfect for us (family of 3 plus Grandpa). The pool and hot tub were very nice and the outdoor lounge area and dining area were perfect. We had our meals outside to enjoy the weather! The kitchen was super well stocked with anything you could need. The living room was plenty of space for the 4 of us. All of the beds were very comfortable and we slept wonderfully. We would stay here again. The hosts were easy to work with and communicated promptly!

Wonderful Spring Break Trip

We rented this fantastic house for our spring break for a family of four with younger kids. I rated this a 5 star based on several factors including the house being in fantastic shape and very well stocked. The pool area feels like its brand new and has the latest electronics to make for great pool days with the family. We had a few hiccups on using the control pad but the owner was super responsive and helpful in ensuring it worked as we needed it. The location is ideal if you want a short walk into Old Town Scottsdale and the neighborhood is super quiet and safe. I would highly recommend this as a family vacation spot.

Very nice and great location

Overall the house is nice - be aware that each of the three bedrooms has one bed so larger groups will need to double-up. We may have missed this when we booked. The location is great - very near Old Town and easy access to highways. Quiet neighborhood. The pictures (like many VRBO pics) suggest slightly larger spaces in and around the house than are reality. But this is still a very comfortable house and backyard. Lastly the owner and property manager (Troy) are very helpful and easy to reach.

An Unforgettable Stay - Truly a Home Away from Home!

From the moment we arrived, we knew this would be a special stay. The property exceeded all our expectations.

Scottsdale was a delight with so many fun activities and vibrant spots to explore. Accommodation: The house was immaculate and luxuriously decorated, with impeccable attention to detail. It felt more like a vacation home than a rental. Every room was cozy, comfortable, and well-equipped. The photos are beautiful, but the home is even more stunning in person! The kitchen was a dream, fully stocked and organized. Host: Maria went above and beyond, sharing personalized recommendations for activities and dining. Communication was prompt and helpful, and check-in/check-out details were easy and clear! Amenities: The outdoor space was a true sanctuary. The hot tub was a highlight, perfect for a relaxing soak under the stars after fun-filled days in Scottsdale. Cleanliness: Everything was spotless, maintained to the highest standard, which made us feel safe and at home. Overall Experience: Our stay here was nothing short of perfect. It's rare to find a place that feels like a second home, but this property did just that. We can't wait to return and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and delightful getaway. Thank you, Maria, for making our vacation one to remember! We will definitely return to Dos Cacti!

We really enjoyed our stay and there was ample room for our family of 5. The home was very clean and kitchen had everything we needed! Being from the Midwest, our family especially enjoyed access to the heated spa and pool while watching football on the outdoor TV. We heated the pool and spa only during the day and in the early evening, and although it may have been difficult to anticipate the propane requirements ahead of time, communication with Maria was very easy and she was able to arrange a propane delivery within hours to keep the water warm and the kiddos happy. The outdoor furniture was cozy too. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
