We had the most incredible time at The Blue Cactus. Everything about our stay was perfect! From the moment we walked in, the home exceeded our expectations. The space is beautifully decorated, stylish, and incredibly comfortable — it truly felt like a home away from home. The private pool and spa were highlights of our trip, and we spent plenty of time lounging by the water and enjoying the sunshine. The game room and putting green added extra fun.The house was clean, well-appointed, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the outdoor areas were perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening swim and soak under the stars.Location was ideal — just minutes from the airport and downtown Palm Springs’ shops, restaurants, and cafes. Our host was responsive, welcoming, and made the entire check-in/out process smooth and easy.We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better rental or experience — it was relaxing, fun, and truly unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back!

It Felt Like Home

hello, from the moment we walked into the Blue Cactus it felt like home. Nice & cold when we walked in. It had everything we needed minus sun block, luckily the grocery store was a few mins away. My family and i enjoyed the pool, my teenage daughter & husband loved the game room. My 1-1/2 yo granddaughter loved to run around the open space & her first time in the pool and loved it. thank you! the only thing we were not used to was having no curtains on the sliding doors. It was perfect and hope to come back really soon.

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!

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!
