Great location and nice place overall. Probably sleeps 8 more comfortably than 10, but worked great for our family over the 4th of July! Great memories were had.

Hi Blake! Thank you for your feedback on Cactus Cove. We are grateful for your communication during your stay. We try to be very descriptive so guests can evaluate the sleeping arrangements and space. I am glad your party of 8 fit just right! We hope you'll consider us again!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this property! The host was wonderful and very quick to respond when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the property. We will definitely stay here again!

What a gorgeous condo! Cozy and clean! Everything you could need is there which shows how thoughtful the hosts are! Easy to contact them if needed too. If I could give it 10 stars I would!

Lori! Thank you so much for choosing Cactus Cove; we’re so happy you enjoyed the stay and we hope to have you back!
This house has everything you need for a nice getaway! The location was great and close to everything! Walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops and Arnold’s park. Communication with hosts was prompt and check-in/check-out was super easy! The house was very clean, spacious and has great views of the lake. The beds were super comfy and the kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials. The fireplace was a cozy place to gather around for card playing or watching TV. We will definitely be back to enjoy again!

Thank you for the stellar review! We'd love to host your family again @CactusCoveOkoboji. If you re-book with us in 2024 for another stay, we'd love to offer a 5% discount!
My husband and I stayed here with our 3 children for an early Christmas. The first thing we noticed was how clean and comfortable the house felt! There was more than enough room for all of us to spread out. Open floor plan on the main level was nice for relaxing, playing games and eating as a family. You cannot get a better location. We plan on coming back to stay here for the summer because of the location. It is a very short walk to the “strip” (multiple restaurants and bars), Arnolds Park Amusement Park and the beach. This is the ideal place to stay to be so close to the action yet not in a hotel! I would give this place 10 stars if I could. I just don’t think you could get a better location!
