Cactus Manor, Heated Pool ! Putting Green! Centrally located
Welcome to the Cactus Manor Retreat - where every moment promises adventure and relaxation! Nestled at the foot of Paradise Valley, this haven is a mere 860 steps away from the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, offering you endless trails and a picturesque park right at your doorstep. Imagine waking up to serene sunrises, basking in gentle breezes, and watching the sun set over this tranquil oasis.
Step inside, and you'll be swept away by an atmosphere designed for pure enjoyment. The kitchen is a culinary paradise, boasting top-of-the-line appliances. The bar area and expansive kitchen island seamlessly blend into the living and dining spaces, creating a harmonious setting for all your gatherings.

The property was extremely clean, and the owners were super responsive! The back pool area and putting green gave us so many memories as a family. I would highly recommend staying here!
Location was awesome! Neighborhood was safe and nice! The backyard was the highlight of the house, but the house overall fit all our needs. Had plenty of the things we needed during our stay! Would stay here again.
The house was very nice and well-stocked. Outdoor area was lovely and my kids really enjoyed it. Neighborhood felt very safe and location was convenient.

Thank you Randy
We hope to see you guys soon again!
Our family had the pleasure of staying at this rental house, and I have to say, the backyard was absolutely the highlight of the entire experience. It’s a spacious, well-maintained area with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The heated pool was perfect. The house was comfortable and clean. Owners were quick to respond with answers to our questions. Highly recommend!
House is is gorgeous with tons of amenities and perfectly situated location to everything within Scottsdale. Jennifer is a great host who is very responsive to questions and focuses on making sure your visit is perfect. Highly recommend.
We were a group of seven adults that stayed for five nights. Plenty of beds and each couple had their own room. We opted to have the pool heated and it was impressive how warm it got even with the cooler February nights. They have lots of games and amenities to keep everyone entertained. The hosts were easy to get ahold of and had the house very tidy and well organized for us. Will stay there again!

Thank you Blake
We hope to see you guys soon again!!
It was a great place to stay. It met all our needs. The only down fall was the pool was too cold to swim which is why we rented with a pool. They explained and will have it heated in the future. It really is beautiful and will stay again!

Hi Sandy
Thank you for your positive feedback and we look forward to hosting you again in the near future! This is a brand new property and unfortunately because of the supply chan issues the pool heat pump was 12 to 14 weeks away and thats why we have not advertised as heated pool! The good news is that it arrives on the 16th of November and we shall have a heated pool from 20th of November 2021!
Thank you so much!!
Warm regards

The house was great! Lots of little extras (forgot your lotion? They have it!). 15-20 minute drive to anything you may want to do but you may actually not want to leave the amazing pool/back yard area
Jennifer and Nico were amazing hosts. This home is everything you could ask for to enjoy a family winter getaway. We stayed for 2 months and took advantage of all the amenities offered, including a heated pool which our grandchildren loved. Walking distance to a huge playground and access to hiking trails. Great location for access to AZ51 for shopping, restaurants, attractions and more hiking. The home was well equipped and exceptionally clean. Our hosts reached out to make sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a great home for family with everything you need for a great vacation, this is the home for you.
We've all stayed at properties that the build up of excitement far exceeded reality when you checked in. Not this time. This place exceeded our expectations on every level. The house was beautiful, activities for kids & adults were plentiful (close to hiking, heated pool, yard games, indoor games, TVs throughout, on & on), Jennifer was very responsive, and it was apparent they thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend this property!

We were escaping 2 feet of snow in the NE and we’re delayed a full day and a half including being stuck overnight in Chicago. All of our stress and frustration melted away the minute we walked through the front door - and when we hit the backyard and relaxed in the heated pool - heaven. The space is fabulous - the kitchen a dream and the master bath - heaven. The shower was invigorating and the tub relaxing. Quiet family location central to everything - stores, restaurants (try Michelina’s 5 min away) and 20 min drive into old town to more fabulous restaurants. A foodies paradise. The owner is incredibly responsive Also, .5 min walk to hiking trails My only complaint - not enough time here!
