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.
Location: Dos Cacti is in a serene neighborhood, perfect for walking or biking to local shops, restaurants, and Old Town. 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Beautiful Place and Owners Are Amazing
We stayed at this fully stocked, beautiful home at the end of April 2023 - it is exactly as advertised on the web site. The pool and backyard were beautiful and we were all enthralled with the beautiful cacti and the birds living in them! The kitchen was very well stocked which was great! We did have a mechanical issue with the house but the owners were on in within 2 hours and made sure everything worked out for us - can’t thank Maria and James enough!
If we’re ever back in Scottsdale we will stay here again!

Perfect On All Levels!
This house was amazing for our girls weekend! We used the bikes to ride to the grocery store, the pool was a perfect space to hang out all day, the rest of the backyard had plenty of space to relax in the shade, and the neighborhood is sooo quiet. I thought there might be highway noise, but there was none. The pull out bed in fourth room/office was so comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and the home was very clean. Great water pressure in the showers as well. Communication with Maria was quick. We would absolutely stay here again!

Super helpful host!
Maria was the perfect host. She sent helpful information as soon as we booked and replied very quickly to all of our requests. The house is lovely and could not be more convenient to access everything to do in Scottsdale. Only headache for us was heating the pool and hot tub. Controls were not easy to understand and caused issues with us using too much propane to heat anything. We paid to have heat, but were unable to use the pool and the hot tub could only be hot a couple of times a day. If conservation is a concern, then the owner should consider an insulated cover or more efficient hot tub. We loved the home, just a little disappointed with the water features.
