"This property is stunning, clean, cozy, and so well appointed. The character, the attention to detail, the artwork, the comfort I cannot say enough good things about this place. It is located on a busy street but once you’re behind the fence it feels very private. The backyard was fantastic. The pool was sparkling and everything was just dreamy. It is around the corner from where my nephew lives so we will be renting this again and again.

Vacation Date: October 14, 2025

"We had a great stay - the house was set up nicely and the casita was perfect for my MIL who travelled with us. The pool was very pretty and well-kept. Our stay was in October, so we paid the extra fee to have the pool heated and the temperature was perfect. The home is located on a very busy street which made me a little nervous since our toddler is a runner, but there is a gate you can park behind and it keeps the backyard fully enclosed so there’s no risk of kids getting out to the street. Overall, a great spot for families.

"We stayed at this home for a local Phoenix event and brought our whole family along with two close friends. We truly enjoyed our stay. One of our favorite features was that every bedroom had its own bathroom, which made hosting a larger group extremely comfortable.The living room was phenomenal, spacious, cozy, and perfect for gathering together. We all piled onto the couch with plenty of room, wrapped up in warm blankets provided by home, and watched a Christmas movie. The kitchen was fantastic and had everything we needed.We loved spending time in the backyard, enjoying coffee in the sun and relaxing in the jacuzzi during our winter stay. The long, gated driveway was a great bonus, allowing us to park both cars securely and giving the property a very private feel.The only thing to note is that the home is on a busy street, so pulling in and out of the driveway requires a little care. However, once inside the gate, it feels completely secluded, you don’t see or hear the street at all. The backyard is quiet, peaceful, and tranquil, making it very relaxing.The hosting team was wonderful, super responsive, professional, and incredibly kind. The home is cute, beautifully decorated, and such a pleasure to stay in. I highly recommend it.

"I was lucky enough to stay at Cocktails & Cacti a few weeks ago with work associates. I stayed in the casita but spent a lot of time in the main house. Both the casita and the main house had everything we needed. Both kitchens were well stocked and super clean. I loved the decor; whoever did the work should get an award. We all spent a lot of time in the backyard, enjoying the heated pool and hot tub, watching movies and sports on the TV, and grilling. Yonder (the management company) was excellent in their hiking and dining recommendations. Our team is already planning our next trip back.

"We stayed mid-week at this very charming historic home in Phoenix for a short trip. The home is well decorated with a fun vibe around many of the original features such as exposed brick, original hardwood floors and arched windows. The well-equipped and stocked kitchen is modern as are the bathrooms. The separate casita located in the fully secured back yard is perfectly appointed with everything needed including a kitchen and bathroom with its own washer and dryer. Every day during our stay we enjoyed the backyard area which has a beautiful lounge seating area with a TV, an outdoor kitchen and a heated pool. This property has everything you need in a beautiful, historic, walkable neighborhood with restaurants and shops as well as being a short drive to PHX Sky Harbor airport. We will definitely be back to Cocktails and Cacti!
