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.

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!

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!
