Very nice house super clean amd comfortable pool was great for the kids .

GuestAirbnbOct 2026

We found this to be a wonderful house for our family and extended family to share. The kids enjoyed the pool, put put, and game room! The house was spacious enough, comfortable, and a relaxing space. It was close to multiple stores.

Beautiful home! Peaceful, entertaining, and a very responsive host. We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed our time here!

Family came into town and needed a place to stay with a pool. This was a very family friendly house. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and kitchenware, paper towels, dish soap/pods, trash bags. This made preparing meals and clean up easy for everyone. One room had a full size bed, underneath trundle bed, and a top bunk bed which was lots of fun for all the kids to sleep together. There were lots of towels provided for showers and the pool. Laundry was accessible so we were able to clean towels in between use. The pool was clean and had some floaties for use, the pool umbrellas were easy to move around which provided lots of shade inside the pool. The TV already had YouTube set up for music and kid shows. Overall, it was a great stay! Thanks for having us!

The Rusty Cactus was awesome! All of the hosts were extremely responsive and friendly. What we also loved was the higher door knobs on all doors that accessed the pool area, such a nice touch for family safety. The house matched the description perfectly, it was decorated beautifully and the gameroom was awesome. The neighborhood was super quiet and peaceful and we had no night noises whatsoever to keep us awake. The salt water pool was gorgeous and we had a blast using it. Our 4 year old loved the whole house. It was also really nice to have extra items like step stools for her to be able to access the sink etc. We had no issues at all with check-in, communication during stay and check-out. Instructions were super easy to follow. Highly recommend this house! Thank you for the wonderful stay for our family while I was having surgery and recovering before we could travel home!

GuestAirbnbAug 2026

GuestAirbnbJul 2026

Great get away with many amenities - lots of activities for the whole family to keep busy; but also space for quiet time for everyone too if needed. Worked out great for our family to have a brief getaway. Thanks much!

GuestAirbnbJul 2026

We truly had a a great stay. The pool was one of the best ever, and the game room was a hit. Responses to questions were fast and friendly. We came to squeeze in some easy, fun family time before summer break ends, and mission was accomplished. Will definitely try to come back!

GuestAirbnbJul 2026

Great all around

GuestAirbnbJul 2026

This home was amazing. We had a wonderful time by the pool and enjoyed spending time with friends in the area for the holiday. Jeff and Bridget were so accommodating, and loved our stay!!

GuestAirbnbJun 2026

Fun for the entire family! From the hot tub and pool to the indoor and outdoor gaming areas, there was something for everyone to do and enjoy. The pool and hot tub were exceptionally clean and the outdoor lounging areas were the perfect spots to relax and hang out together no matter what time of day. The host was easy to connect and quick to respond. From checking in to checking out, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and would definitely love to stay here again!

We come to Arizona twice a year and have been for about the last 18 years. In doing so we have stayed everywhere in the Phoenix Valley multiple times and with that being said not only is this house perfect in every way, but this is by far the nicest, cleanest and friendliest neighborhood we ever stayed in. I went for walks in the morning and at night and never felt unsafe and met several nice people that live in the neighborhood, any shopping that you need is right around the corner and even better than that there are several mountains within a five minute drive that you can get to and hike for hours! My only hope is this house is available next time we come out there!!!

GuestAirbnbJun 2026

Just got home from the house, and we had an absolute blast! The house was very clean, well appointed, and spacious. Plenty of space for the 8 of us. The backyard and game room were used practically the whole weekend. And the pool and hot tub were perfect! Both were larger than expected. Fantastic! I would highly recommend this house, and would definitely come back!

GuestAirbnbMay 2026

Amazing centrally located home with so many amenities. The pool and back yard are an oasis! The home is spacious and very comfortable.

GuestAirbnbMay 2026

Quiet, safe, and absolutely fantastic. We will absolutely be back next year.

GuestAirbnbFeb 2026

We went on vacation with my parents and my family. We traveled with 2 littles and this place was super family friendly! They had a pack n play available and a high chair. The doors to the pool were childproof (2 knobs, one of which was out of their reach). That definitely puts your mind at ease. The property was perfect. We went swimming and used the hot tub almost every day. The neighborhood is so nice to walk around as well. I would highly recommend. We would definitely stay again! Thanks!

GuestAirbnbFeb 2026

Took our grandkids for a week and had a great time. Kids loved the indoor gaming area and pool area toys. Lots for kids to do…ours are 12 and 9. Plenty of parks and recreation in the area.

GuestAirbnbAug 2025

The accommodation was perfect for our group while in town on business. The location was convenient, and the facilities were exactly as described, clean, tidy, and well-presented, just like the pictures. We had a slight issue with the air conditioning upon arrival, likely due to our late check-in, but it didn’t impact our overall experience. We’d happily book again next time we’re in town. Thanks for a great stay!

GuestAirbnbAug 2025

Great place fun for the whole family! My bf is in a wheelchair and it was so awesome that he could navigate around and the pool had rails on the side. Fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Fun house we loved it.

GuestAirbnbJun 2025

An absolutely awesome experience! Thank you, Jeff and Bridget for sharing the Rusty cactus with us. The house is in a beautiful quiet neighbourhood. Check in was super brilliant with a pre-programmed door lock code given on the day of arrival. Presentation of the house is amazing! It Felt like walking into your own home. Very cozy. Happy to see that they even had pool towels rolled up in the laundry room. All the little details like having coffee pods, sugar, some detergent et cetera really made settling in easy. Any questions or concerns we had were immediately replied to via the app and they were super proactive making sure we had everything just the way we were hoping. We were there for a volleyball tournament for our daughter and hosted a small award ceremony at the house. Everyone raved about how cool the place was! The plethora of games really made the place fun for a family. First time using an Airbnb and I hope all of our experiences can be as good as this one!

GuestAirbnbJun 2025

We loved every second of our stay. The house is very clean and well taken care of. My daughter pretty much lived in the pool the entire time. I’d highly recommend this house to anyone looking for an Airbnb in PHX. We will be back. Thank you for being so accommodating and your quick communication.

GuestAirbnbMay 2025

very cozy and comfortable home! My family and I had a lot of fun. We enjoyed our stay!

BenVrboApr 2025

Perfect location for boys golf trip! Playing in 3-day golf tournament at Moon Valley CC. Location was 1 minute away. Close to grocery store and restaurants. Simple check in with digital lock. House was extremely clean with 4 guest bedrooms (for the 4 of us). Beds, sheets, pillows, towels were all great quality. Backyard pool, hot tub, and patio were very nice and used often after long days of golf. While we were originally hoping for a house that backed up to the golf course, this ended up being perfect for our stay and did not disappoint. Perhaps we will book it again for the tournament next year!

GuestAirbnbApr 2025

The Rusty Cactus was incredible. The host is super responsive, and professional. The house itself is spacious, well laid out, and exactly as described. The backyard is a paradise. Finally, the location is awesome. It was an easy drive to Sedona/Flagstaff, and is centrally located in the valley for easy travel anywhere in the Phoenix area. We can’t wait to come back!

GuestAirbnbApr 2025

This is a great place to stay. Well appointed and plenty of games to play to keep everyone busy. Pool and hot tub seem to be brand new. Moon Valley is a great area and close to shopping and great dining. We would stay here again.
