Great location and property!

I was looking for a property with a private pool and Jacuzzi, and I found it here. Place was close to shopping restaurants hiking trails you name it you were within minutes of it. The neighborhood was very clean and very quiet. The property was very clean and well maintained. Everything the property owner told me about was accurate. Super easy to get in and out of the property, check in and check out was also very easy. Overall 10 out of 10 stay and will definitely plan on staying here in the future.

Great Pool and Location

The location/neighborhood was very convenient for our family. Close to parks, grocery stores and hikes. All of the extras were great for our family- tennis rackets, pool floats, recommended attraction binder, little coolers and full kitchen with anything you may need. The pool was the highlight for our kids!!

Family of the bride

We had a wonderful time. The rental property was amazing. The location was great. My daughter got married at the Buttes of reflections, which is very close to the rental property. Christie is very organized. Everything we needed was in the binder when we arrived and yes, everyone is hooked up to technology these days, but it was nice to have her opinion in the books also. The beds were comfortable definitely some of the best that I’ve slept in compared to other rentals. This place was completely stocked with everything we needed. Matter of fact, this is the only rental that I have ever been in that was this well stocked. She made a comment to us that we were very low maintenance guests and I appreciate that however I feel the reason we were so low maintenance is because she offered us anything and everything we could possibly need so we did not need to ask for anything. I know that if I am ever looking for a rental in the area again this will be the first place. I’m looking to see if it’s available. The next best part was the heated pool and hot tub, especially in February during the day when it was in the high 60s mid 70s The pool was tolerable. Otherwise we used the hot tub that time of year is still a little cool for swimming even when you’re from Wisconsin. I highly recommend this rental. We even used the outdoor gas grill, which appeared to be almost brand new and cooked steaks. It truly felt like we were on our own resort.

Perfect location for a retreat!

I hosted a women’s retreat for 3 days at Christie’s home. The listing was very accurate and the home was super clean. The pool & jacuzzi were clean and heated. The walk ability around the house is awesome, especially for those who are differently able. The of road trails we found were easy as well. Christie was a great host and very responsive. I will be back to host another retreat in the future.

Perfect place for Family get together!

Perfect home to Catch up with our two adult sons. Location was nice, close to everything you would need but still felt quiet and private. We didnt go out much except a scenic drive for part of a day. Reading the literature that Christie left us seems like plenty of activities to do! Between the heated pool and jacuzzi we just hung out and visited...Probably biggest compliment I can give is that it was comfortable to stay there. That is huge for us. We would stay at Christies house again without hesitation! Thanks you Christie!

Wonderful Home Away from Home

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was big enough with lots of sleeping options to accommodate our family. Christie was super responsive with great friendly and professional communication. This was a comfortable family home that was beautiful and clean with everything we needed. Check in was easy and no-fuss. By far, the best part, though, was the stunning pool! We spent hours, day and night, enjoying the wonderful views and atmosphere. The house is a bit of a drive from the major Tucson attractions we wanted to visit, but well worth it. Thanks for some great family memories!

Fun in Oro Valley

We stayed 3 weeks at Happy Cactus property and had a great time. We loved the convenient location and the beautiful backyard pool and hot tub. We are only 2 people, but the house is ideally set up for a larger group with multiple bedrooms, bikes, pool toys. Everything was clean and in good working order. Needs a few updates in the kitchen and better towels and sheets (less quantity and more quality.) Good communication with owner. Overall a great stay!

Thoroughly relaxing stay

We had a wonderful stay, the week after Easter. Our first time at Happy Cactus, but will plan to return. Our plan was for warm sunny weather, casual hiking and lots of swimming and tennis, and we had everything we could want at our "home base". Accommodations were inviting, clean, private; more than adequate space for meals(indoors or patio) TV, and relaxing on the patio. We really enjoyed the beautiful pool and spa. We had an initial glitch with entry code that was fixed on the spot! Happy Cactus is close to lots of activities, restaurants and natural beauty and culture. The owners have a great binder and online resources for everything in the area, as well as to facilitate check-in/out. We're very familiar with the area, but this is also perfect for newbies! All in all, we loved our stay, were sad to leave, but look forward to future stays at Happy Cactus. Thank you Christie and Clint!
