This is an amazing property!! Magnificent views, sprawling very well maintained gardens, walks and grounds. Even more excellent once you step inside - prepare to be welcomed by vaulted ceilings, huge living room (superb for group gatherings) and extremely well equipped kitchen. All the bedrooms are very spacious, comfortable beds and very thoughtfully equipped with additional bedding. We had our family reunion and celebrated a 60th birthday over a weekend - every single person throughly enjoyed the property, the clear pool, the excellent views and everything that the property has to offer. The hosts Victoria and Derek are awesome and extremely prompt at communication and very responsive. Checking in and out is a breeze, the house manual is very detailed and very helpful. If you are thinking of a group gathering in a retreat to your own group, do not miss this!! Highly recommended

Amazing Retreat

Our weekend stay at this beautiful property was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt an incredible sense of peace and intention throughout the space. It became the perfect backdrop for a meaningful getaway—full of laughter, deep conversations, meditation, and pure joy.The home is thoughtfully curated, and it’s clear how much care and love went into creating this retreat. Every corner invites you to relax and be present. Even though we couldn’t quite figure out the pool light (our only tiny mystery!), it never took away from the experience.A heartfelt thank you to Victoria & Derek for being so responsive and helpful during our stay—your support made everything seamless. We're so grateful for the time we had here and the memories we’ll carry with us.

The Cactus Blossom Retreat was a great choice for our extended family retreat of 20 people. It lives up to its "retreat" name: secluded, private, and peaceful. Everyone who went kept commenting on how they loved the house. Photos do not do it justice. Derek, the property manager, was in constant communication with us and answered our many questions. The house manual was very clear and helpful. There are even videos to show how to operate certain items in the house. There are gorgeous views around the property, especially from the dining room, pool, and large flat outdoor platform. The majority of the rooms have their own bathrooms, which was very important to our group. There is more than enough space for everyone to not feel crowded. The high ceilings made it feel even larger. The house and casita were very clean and in good shape. There are several fold away twin beds in closets if more beds are needed. If enough notice is given, they are able to have the housekeeper arrange two twin beds to make a king bed with a mattress topper. The pool was the highlight for the kids. Derek sent me a screenshot of the propane meter before we starting heating the pool and spa. He also sent me a screenshot of the propane reading afterwards to determine how much was due for the propane used. There were several folding loungers along with other wicker furniture outside on the patio. We would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.
