Cactus Manor, Heated Pool ! Putting Green! Centrally located
Welcome to the Cactus Manor Retreat - where every moment promises adventure and relaxation! Nestled at the foot of Paradise Valley, this haven is a mere 860 steps away from the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, offering you endless trails and a picturesque park right at your doorstep. Imagine waking up to serene sunrises, basking in gentle breezes, and watching the sun set over this tranquil oasis.
Step inside, and you'll be swept away by an atmosphere designed for pure enjoyment. The kitchen is a culinary paradise, boasting top-of-the-line appliances. The bar area and expansive kitchen island seamlessly blend into the living and dining spaces, creating a harmonious setting for all your gatherings.
Get ready for a blast in the game room, complete with Air Hockey, fuse ball, and a blast from the past with an old school Packman arcade. There is a $50/day surcharge for pool heating for the entire stay. Please mention at the time of booking if you would like pool heated! There is also a $100 pet surcharge for only the pets allowed at this property. Only non shedding dogs under 50lbs allowed!
With four bedrooms, including a king-sized master and three queens, everyone will find their perfect sanctuary. Each bedroom offers a TV and ample closet space. The master bath is a lavish retreat with a spacious walk-in shower boasting dual shower heads, and a jetted tub that practically begs for a champagne-filled soak.
But the real magic happens outside. Picture yourself indulging in outdoor dining by a substantial grill, or lounging in the inviting seating area while catching your favorite game or movie on the Smart TV. The pool area, framed by breathtaking mountain views, will make you feel like you're living in paradise. And for golf enthusiasts, a three-hole putting green awaits, promising endless entertainment.
This retreat is not just a place to stay, but a place to create lasting memories. Enjoy board games, beautiful dining, and the convenience of a washer and dryer at your disposal.
Convenience meets luxury as the Phoenix airport is just a short 12-minute drive away. Plus, with Whole Foods and Trader Joe's just blocks away, stocking up for your retreat is a breeze.

A damage hold of $500 ensures peace of mind, and we trust you to leave the premises just as you found them. Smoking inside? Absolutely not! And trust us, you wouldn't want to with all this fresh desert air to enjoy. Cameras are in three places the front, Ring door bell and in the back. They are not monitored however if a complaint is issued they will be checked for liability reasons.
But let's get back to the fun stuff. Our pool is a gem, and it can be heated for your comfort. Picture yourself taking a dip on a cool evening, the water a perfect 84 degrees. And don't worry, we've got maintenance covered - our pool and landscaping experts visit regularly to keep everything pristine. They will enter through the gate do their work and leave quickly.

Location was awesome! Neighborhood was safe and nice! The backyard was the highlight of the house, but the house overall fit all our needs. Had plenty of the things we needed during our stay! Would stay here again.
The house was very nice and well-stocked. Outdoor area was lovely and my kids really enjoyed it. Neighborhood felt very safe and location was convenient.
We had a wonderful stay during spring break. The pool was a welcome benefit of our stay enhancing our getaway. The home is fully stocked with all needed items in combination with a fabulous kitchen. The owners were quick to reply with our questions. We truly had a grad time!
Our family had the pleasure of staying at this rental house, and I have to say, the backyard was absolutely the highlight of the entire experience. It’s a spacious, well-maintained area with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The heated pool was perfect. The house was comfortable and clean. Owners were quick to respond with answers to our questions. Highly recommend!
We were a group of seven adults that stayed for five nights. Plenty of beds and each couple had their own room. We opted to have the pool heated and it was impressive how warm it got even with the cooler February nights. They have lots of games and amenities to keep everyone entertained. The hosts were easy to get ahold of and had the house very tidy and well organized for us. Will stay there again!
Jennifer and Nico were amazing hosts. This home is everything you could ask for to enjoy a family winter getaway. We stayed for 2 months and took advantage of all the amenities offered, including a heated pool which our grandchildren loved. Walking distance to a huge playground and access to hiking trails. Great location for access to AZ51 for shopping, restaurants, attractions and more hiking. The home was well equipped and exceptionally clean. Our hosts reached out to make sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a great home for family with everything you need for a great vacation, this is the home for you.
Great neighborhood close to hiking and easy access to airport
This is our first stay in this home but not our first stay in this neighborhood. We have family that live in this neighborhood and it’s a safe, quiet neighborhood. This particular house is one block away from a park with lots of play equipment, basketball court and sand volleyball court (not the nicest court, but good enough to play on!). My husband and I like to start our day hiking on the trails that are only a half mile from the doorstep. You can pick from a variety of trails on the preserve, easily can do 4-7 mile loops. We also enjoyed the pool (it actually did stay at a very warm temperature and we visited in December) and outdoor amenities. Our family of 4 was very comfortable and spread out, this home could easily fit the 8 people listed. While we didn’t use it much the game room was fun too. Would definitely stay here again! Very clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay, thank you!
The property was extremely clean, and the owners were super responsive! The back pool area and putting green gave us so many memories as a family. I would highly recommend staying here!
We absolutely loved staying here!!! It is even better than the photos!! Lots of room, everything very well stocked and labeled, gorgeous outdoor pool and entertaining space, and 8 minutes to some of Phoenix’s best hiking!
Jennifer (owner) thought of every detail and was so easy to work with!!! We will definitely stay here again!!
The property was fantastic. The owners were very easy to work with. I only had a few questions when we arrived, and the owners responded timely, professionally and more importantly, with a resolution to my question. We will absolutely stay at this property again! Kudos to Nito and Jennifer. Great hosts!
House is is gorgeous with tons of amenities and perfectly situated location to everything within Scottsdale. Jennifer is a great host who is very responsive to questions and focuses on making sure your visit is perfect. Highly recommend.
It was a great place to stay. It met all our needs. The only down fall was the pool was too cold to swim which is why we rented with a pool. They explained and will have it heated in the future. It really is beautiful and will stay again!
The house was great! Lots of little extras (forgot your lotion? They have it!). 15-20 minute drive to anything you may want to do but you may actually not want to leave the amazing pool/back yard area
We've all stayed at properties that the build up of excitement far exceeded reality when you checked in. Not this time. This place exceeded our expectations on every level. The house was beautiful, activities for kids & adults were plentiful (close to hiking, heated pool, yard games, indoor games, TVs throughout, on & on), Jennifer was very responsive, and it was apparent they thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend this property!
