The kitchen was stocked with all the appliances, the bathroom was stocked, the pool is beautiful, and the garage was super fun! You can tell he put a lot of thought into making his home enjoyable for his guest. Even having an AC in the garage was much needed and perfect. We had such a good time at his home and would highly recommend any one to book here. Thanks again, Oscar! We’ll see you next year!

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 house was a beautiful home base for my family's three day stay in Palm Springs. Everything was very clean, the house is very spacious, and we really enjoyed the game room in the garage. The backyard was also very enjoyable and we had a good time hanging out there including in the jacuzzi. There is alot of airplane traffic overhead as the house is next to the airport, but we enjoyed seeing the planes taking off and the planes stopped flying at night so we were able to sleep just fine. It was also my in-laws first time staying in a vacation rental home and they were very impressed.

We had the most incredible time at The Blue Cactus. Everything about our stay was perfect! From the moment we walked in, the home exceeded our expectations. The space is beautifully decorated, stylish, and incredibly comfortable — it truly felt like a home away from home. The private pool and spa were highlights of our trip, and we spent plenty of time lounging by the water and enjoying the sunshine. The game room and putting green added extra fun.The house was clean, well-appointed, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the outdoor areas were perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening swim and soak under the stars.Location was ideal — just minutes from the airport and downtown Palm Springs’ shops, restaurants, and cafes. Our host was responsive, welcoming, and made the entire check-in/out process smooth and easy.We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better rental or experience — it was relaxing, fun, and truly unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful Stay!

Our family had a wonderful time staying at The Blue Cactus! This lovely home was so modern yet had a retro feel that goes along with the Palm Springs vibe. All of the rooms were beautifully decorated. A lot of love went into styling the home and gave it a very warm feeling. The game room was a bonus that our family thoroughly enjoyed! It created a family type atmosphere and bonding memories. We unfortunately did not use the pool due to the cool weather but the putting green in the backyard was fabulous. Wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you for a great trip to Palm Springs!

It Felt Like Home

hello, from the moment we walked into the Blue Cactus it felt like home. Nice & cold when we walked in. It had everything we needed minus sun block, luckily the grocery store was a few mins away. My family and i enjoyed the pool, my teenage daughter & husband loved the game room. My 1-1/2 yo granddaughter loved to run around the open space & her first time in the pool and loved it. thank you! the only thing we were not used to was having no curtains on the sliding doors. It was perfect and hope to come back really soon.

Fun Home for Family

We stayed here for my wife’s B-day with our 9 & 11 year old. Kids had a great time playing in the pool and with all the games in the garage. Location was great as it was close to downtown. The only very “small” downside that we noticed was that it was right next to the airport and at times the planes could be extremely loud taking off. This was not a dealbreaker for us however, and we would definitely consider staying here again. Oscar was super friendly to deal with and messaged us back almost instantly when we had a question. The entire process was super easy and we are glad we stayed here.
