Beyond perfect. Just a great stay. Super stylish, very clean & comfortable and every amenity imaginable - even a games room which was so much fun. The home is even nicer than in the photos. Oscar is a pleasure to deal with and the location was spot-on for us, too. If you’re tossing up between Blue Cactus and another property, do yourself a favour .. book this one! It’s fantastic.

We had a very enjoyable stay here! The house was very clean and very accommodating. The kitchen had everything that you need to cook a good meal. The host really thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. Oscar, the host had great communication with us and got back to us quickly whenever we had a question. We enjoyed having the pool, spa and fire pit in the backyard as well as a nice eating area in the back yard too. There was enough seating in the living room and kitchen for all seven of us. The beds were comfortable as well as the pillows in each room. The location is awesome as you are close to grocery stores and golf courses . This is a place that we will return to whenever we are back in Palm Springs.

Great group trip

We had a great time staying here for a few nights. We had two families, 3 little kids, and plenty of space. The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and nicely appointed. The location is wonderful- a short drive to downtown Palm Springs and even closer to a nice park. We would definitely come back to stay again!

This property and Oscar go above and beyond what was expected. Oscar was very gracious and quick to respond to our questions. It is evident that much thought has gone into preparing a clean, comfortable, relaxing and fun place to stay. It is very well stocked, and the supplies are all good quality. Everything we needed was there. It’s easy to give a very high rating.
