I recently had the pleasure of staying at a property managed by Cactus Vacation Rentals in Scottsdale, Arizona, and it was a remarkable experience. Their expertise in vacation rental and Airbnb management was evident from the outset, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable stay.
The property was not only immaculate and fully equipped with all the necessary amenities, but it was also perfectly situated to explore the best of Scottsdale. Nestled in the vibrant heart of South Scottsdale, it provided easy access to local attractions like the stunning McDowell Sonoran Preserve, the culturally rich Old Town Scottsdale, and the beautiful Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.
The team at Cactus Vacation Rentals were incredibly helpful, offering personalized recommendations that enhanced our visit. They suggested great dining experiences in the area and highlighted must-visit spots such as the Scottsdale Fashion Square for shopping and the TPC Scottsdale for our golf enthusiast group.
Their attention to detail in Airbnb management made sure that every aspect of the rental property catered to the highest standards of comfort and style, reflecting the unique charm of Scottsdale, AZ. The property's proximity to these attractions made my vacation both relaxing and adventurous. Old town Scottsdale was only a 5 min walk. There were many restaurants, bars and historic attractions of Old Town Scottsdale.
I wholeheartedly recommend Cactus Vacation Rentals to anyone seeking a top vacation rental experience in Scottsdale or anywhere else like Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa as they manage properties all over the Valley. Their dedication to quality, guest satisfaction, and their knowledge of the local area truly...

Towels were still not laundered and had tags on them. Not ideal but great to have towels...
Read moreSo far our experience has been pretty good. We’ve just arrived and are excited to see what this property is going to be like for our family trip. We do appreciate that the property rental has been responsive so far to our needs!
UPDATED: I hoped to be able to give this host a better review. The space did suit our needs for the time - but we will not be booking with this host again.
Our initial request to book the space was ignored, then when we tried to book again, the price was increased and they wouldn’t honor the original price offering.
We arrived a little early for check in, and they traded an early 5 star review for access before we even got in.
When we entered the space, the smell of pet urine was overwhelming, and things went downhill from there. The floors were filthy - the once light carpet was black and the kitchen floor was gritty with dirt. (our feet got black from walking barefoot in the space) Broken cabinets aluminum window frames that rattled in the wind all night Garbage in backyard and cupboards Stained linens and towels No laundry soap No towels put out Washing machine screeched We even found dried “goobers” on two of the beds - one in the bedding!
In conclusion, the space could work if it were cleaned properly and managed with proper...
