Another wonderful stay

This is the third time we have stayed at this property and we plan to keep on coming back. The hosts are wonderful and the accommodations and location perfectly meet our needs. The enclosed and shady side yard is great for our small dog. The adjacent garage is another great bonus to have.

Our first phoenix trip

Loved the Casita. It had everything we needed and more. Location was good. pretty easy to get where we wanted to go visit. Owners were super nice!!! It had a pool but the weather didn't cooperate. Was not heated which is something i neglected to check. Would highly recommend this cute cozy and comfy Casita. Thank you!!

What a beautiful place. Very peaceful. The casita was beautifully decorated, as was the yard. Close to restaurants, shopping and within 1/2 hour to most spring training parks. Price was very fair. Couldn’t be more pleased.

Enchanted in Encanto

As always, Cactus Flower Casita hosts, Jim & Pam, thought of everything, even coverage of the little details/needs, which ensured that our 2 week stay was fabulous! We’ve stayed there 2 years in a row and are already booked for a month next spring.

Truly a gem!

The only word I can think of to describe the Encanto Cactus Flower Casita is "Perfect" and that doesn't come close to describing this property. Among other things, it's conveniently located, has a lovely private patio (including a grill), and offers a secure single-car garage. The owners have anticipated every possible need their guests might encounter and more. The gardens and landscaping are extraordinary and demand that you take time to just sit back and rest in one of the charming sitting areas they've created for everyone's enjoyment. The Casita is impeccably decorated inside with inspiring touches I would love to duplicate in our own home. Our stay was in early December and the owners even had a pencil Christmas tree decorated for us! There was a basket of snacks waiting when we arrived and extensive folders containing all the information we could possibly need about the area and the Casita itself. We also enjoyed being greeted every morning by the owners' two dogs William and Giblet. It's a pet-friendly property which says a lot about the caring character of the owners. I just wish it would have been warm enough to enjoy the beautiful swimming pool. Guess that means a return trip will be required! You will love everything about the Cactus Flower Casita!

Another lovely stay!

This was our second and definitely not our last stay at the Cactus Flower Casita. As stated from our visit in May, Jim and Pam have thought of every detail to make their guests feel at home. This visit was during the Thanksgiving holiday so we were out and about most of the time. The advantage of our own garage for easy in and out so we're not a bother to our hosts is a nice bonus. Plus, we love our own side garden space to enjoy the beautiful landscaping talent of our hosts, and don't miss the entertainment of so many birds at the feeder!

Better than most VRBOs

The casita was clean, the hosts thought of absolutely everything! The absolute BEST VRBO we have ever stayed in. Snacks on arrival, coffee/tea provided so we did mot have to run out early in the morning to grab it. You couldn’t make Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchenette, but we didn’t plan to. We made breakfast each morning. It was just right! The bed was comfortable, the bathroom linens were plush. The outdoor spaces were delightful! Our granddaughter is at ASU for the next three years. We will be back!

Beautiful and peaceful

We really enjoyed our stay at the Casita, and the colorful garden was so serene. My morning tea/coffees were extra pleasant as I watched the birds at the feeders and water fountain. This was a short drive away from trendy shops and good restaurants. The Casita was very clean and well-stocked, and the local brochures, magazines, and snacks were a thoughtful touch. Having the private garage a few feet away really was helpful, as we had so many purchases to bring in/out when packing up the car. I will judge all future stays by this experience. Thank you so much for enhancing our birthday weekend.
