Beautiful property did not disappoint

Family, kid and pet friendly. Nice open layout, lots of seating inside and outside, fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Clean, spacious, comfortable accommodations. House and pool were well-maintained. Quiet neighborhood, communicative host, close proximity to stores and within driving distance of aerial tram and downtown strip. Game room was a hit for both kids and adults. Would definitely stay here again.

A Perfect Weekend at Blue Cactus!

All of us thoroughly enjoyed this airy, immaculate, beautifully decorated house. We didn’t have to leave the grounds to have a wonderful weekend given the pool, the game room and the fire pit. The host was very cordial and prompt in responding to questions. Can’t wait to return!

Great group trip

We had a great time staying here for a few nights. We had two families, 3 little kids, and plenty of space. The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and nicely appointed. The location is wonderful- a short drive to downtown Palm Springs and even closer to a nice park. We would definitely come back to stay again!

Stylish and comfortable.

We had a fantastic stay! The neighborhood was clean, quiet, and just a short drive to downtown Palm Springs. The house itself was spotless and beautifully decorated, making it feel both stylish and welcoming. The beds were comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. We also loved the fun games in the garage, which added a nice touch to our stay. The host was very polite and quick to respond, making everything seamless. Highly recommended—we would definitely stay here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. Kids loved the spa and pool as well as the game room. Owner was easy to get ahold of and quick to reply. Heads up that planes fly right overhead but we all enjoyed watching them take off and land.

Celebrated my 31st birthday this past weekend here and I wish I could give this place 10 stars. It was absolutely wonderful. Clean and very accommodating! Everything was very thought out and organized. The house is beautiful and there is so much to do between the pool, game room and beauty of the house that we didn’t leave very much! Oscar was very communicative and nice and even gave us a bottle of wine when we arrived! He had flexibility with check in/check out and was overall very nice! Would love to stay here again! Highly recommend! The beds are also VERY comfy and I truly felt like I was in an oasis! The little photo backdrop area is so cute too!

A must stay!!

A beautifully decorated home with all of the space to entertain a large family. Garage was converted to a game room and its fun for adults and kids. I'm pretty sure our high scores on Ms. Pacman and Galaga will be there for a very long time😜. Wonderful place to stay.

The Blue Cactus Review

This property is absolutely amazing! The interior is beautifully decorated and furnished with all the comforts of home. The exterior was spa like and gorgeously landscaped. Everything was spotless and well maintained. The owner/property manager was easy to work with and communication could not have been better. Can't wait to go back!

Fun Home for Family

We stayed here for my wife’s B-day with our 9 & 11 year old. Kids had a great time playing in the pool and with all the games in the garage. Location was great as it was close to downtown. The only very “small” downside that we noticed was that it was right next to the airport and at times the planes could be extremely loud taking off. This was not a dealbreaker for us however, and we would definitely consider staying here again. Oscar was super friendly to deal with and messaged us back almost instantly when we had a question. The entire process was super easy and we are glad we stayed here.

Wonderful Stay!

Our family had a wonderful time staying at The Blue Cactus! This lovely home was so modern yet had a retro feel that goes along with the Palm Springs vibe. All of the rooms were beautifully decorated. A lot of love went into styling the home and gave it a very warm feeling. The game room was a bonus that our family thoroughly enjoyed! It created a family type atmosphere and bonding memories. We unfortunately did not use the pool due to the cool weather but the putting green in the backyard was fabulous. Wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you for a great trip to Palm Springs!
