Reviews for Cactus Blanco – Dreamy Old Town Scottsdale Escape

Oh my gosh we were absolutely obsessed with this spot for oh best friends bachelorette! We spent 2 hours on a zoom call narrowing down our choice and we were beyond impressed na happy with our stay and this home. Peaceful, spacious, big enough pool, plenty of beds and bathrooms, and easy/close drive to the bars (less than 5 mins) - I have so many friends getting married this year and thinking Scottsdale and plan to recommend this spot to them. She let us check in early on the day of to decorate free of charge also which was amazing! Thank you so so much!

Had a great stay. Very comfortable accommodations and Francesca was responsive and flexible with us.

We did our Bach party here and it was amazing! Had so much fun and the host was amazing.

We really enjoyed our bachelorette trip at Francesca's place! Very clean and great location

Loved the place! Great experience and exceeded expectations

It was the perfect place to host my bachelorette weekend. The home was not only spotless, but it was clear that so much thought and care went into every detail. There were plenty of decorating supplies provided, along with fun bachelorette-themed extras like cups, straws, and pool floats. The layout of the house was ideal, spacious, comfortable rooms, and a living room that easily accommodated all 10 of us. The backyard was perfect for hosting our hibachi dinner, and the outdoor cabana was large enough for the whole group to eat comfortably. I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for being such a thoughtful host and helping make my weekend so memorable!

We had the absolute BEST time staying here for my bachelorette weekend! The house was perfect for our group of seven—plenty of space, super clean, and set up perfectly for a girls’ getaway. The common areas were great for hanging out, and everything was thoughtfully stocked. We especially loved how close it was to everything—restaurants, bars, and Old Town Scottsdale were just minutes away, which made getting around so easy. Couldn't have asked for a better spot to celebrate—highly recommend!

This was the perfect place to celebrate my 40th birthday! There were 10 people total, and I felt like there was plenty of space. The open floor plan and spacious backyard allowed for people to spread out and not feel like they were on top of anyone. The outdoor covered patio with the benches was a perfect place for breakfast! The outdoor lounges with the option to use an umbrella were also great. The common spaces indoors were really fun and great. The bedrooms felt a little tight, but luckily we did not spend much time in them. I do wish the bedrooms had darker blinds or curtains. The makeup bar was really nice, but I wish it had better lighting directly around the mirror. It was also a little annoying to have the pool vacuum stay in the pool, since the hose took up space to float. None of these comments were detrimental to the experience, but it would be nice enhancements. I would love to stay again!

Spring Break 2025 was a hit. Updated modern house with a heated pool and lots of room to lounge in the backyard. The location was great, walkable to shops around the corner and with brunch spots down the street. Francesca was available and responsive to questions.

The place is very nice! Pool is great and gets good sun. Francesca was very responsive and accommodating! Would recommend!

Francesa was so helpful from check-in to check-out! The house was nice, clean, and a 10 minute drive into town!

The host was very kind from the first message. She was helpful in providing tips for places to check out. She offered a later checkout time for us when I told her we had a late afternoon flight. There were plenty of bachelorette items in the house that made it very photo worthy for any bride! The pool was nice, it was a little windy for us on the day we wanted to use it so we didn’t utilize it as much. The only mishap we had was the front door bolt automatically locked and we had some issues trying to get it back open. But the host was responsive and stayed on the phone with us when we told her what was happening and was able to walk us through how to undo the issue. She said she will get someone to go look at it after we checked out. Overall, beautiful place, friendly host, GREAT location, good about of space for 11 guests!

Highly recommend staying here! Beautiful house and everything was in walking distance. Francesca is a great host!

We had such an amazing time staying at Francesca’s place for my bachelorette!!! All the details of the house are so well thought out and all the girls had a wonderful time. ❤️😊 perfect for a bachelorette or girl’s trip!

Loved this Airbnb stay for our bachelorette party! Everyone had so much fun and it was such a great space to be in! The pool is heated year round so we were able to use it in the winter! Francesca was very responsive and even looked up doorbell footage for us when one of the girls lost their wallet and wasn’t sure if they left it in an Uber. Would highly recommend and stay again!

Home was extremely comfortable and was the perfect size for a bachelorette group! Location was amazing and Francesca was an amazing host and also provided a backup contact in case she was not available, which was not needed as she is extremely responsive!

Exactly as described and matching the photos. Everything was very clean and well accessorized…from pool towels to cozy throws for watching a movie inside. The pool was heated and so nice and warm. Francesca was amazingly responsive and pleasant. We would absolutely stay here again in the future.

Our experience at Cactus Blanco was incredible!! It was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday with my friends! The house was equipped with everything we needed and the space was very clean. Francesca went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and she over communicated from the beginning - which was extremely helpful to us!! I highly recommend staying here when you visit Scottsdale, you won't be disappointed! 10/10 experience :)

This place was amazing! The perfect location to everything. All the small things were provided to make it absolutely perfect bachelorette weekend. Beautiful pool, nice neighbours. Beds for everyone that’s were comfy and just an overall great place for our first time in Scottsdale!

we booked this place for a bachelorette party and absolutely loved it! the place was cute, clean, and exactly as expected based off the pictures. francesa was super helpful and responsive whenever we messaged. highly recommend :)

The house was exactly as it looked in pictures, very clean, and stocked with everything yoh might need!

Francesca's place was absolutely perfect for my sisters bachelorette weekend. The house is super close to all the good bars and restaurants but far away enough from all the hustle and bustle. The house and backyard are beautiful and the house had everything we needed - pool towels/extra blankets/games. Francesca was super responsive and friendly. Highly recommend for your trip!

Francesca's house was perfect for my bachelorette party of 7. The place has an amazing backyard/pool area and great bedrooms, bathrooms and areas to hang out. Francesca was responsive immediately when we blew a fuse and someone came over to fix it very quickly. I could not recommend this house enough- it was so close to Old Town and I would love to come back soon!

We stayed here with 7 girls for my bachelorette and everything was absolutely perfect. The open concept home made it so easy for all of us to hangout together. The backyard was 12/10 where we spent most of the time lounging by the pool (which was a perfect temp). The house was walkable to the grocery store and even a couple restaurants! It was a quick 1.5 mile Uber to going out making this location top tier. Francesca allowed our group to check in early and check out late! We had everything we needed for a successful weekend and would definitely stay here again!!!

Stayed for a bachelorette trip and had a great experience. The location was perfect it’s right near old town Scottsdale we were within 10 mins of all the restaurants/shopping/bars. The space was perfect for my group of 10 girls we loved sitting outside in the morning in the lounge area and sip our coffee. Francesca was a great host and was very responsive to answer questions.

Perfect stay for a girl's weekend! Beautiful property! Very thoughtful touches throughout the entire house to ensure you everything you need!

Our group had an absolutely incredible weekend at this Airbnb! Francesca was very responsive and kind. The Airbnb is conveniently located a short walk to the grocery store and a short Uber to a lot of bars & restaurants. Everything was very clean, the pool was perfect and Francesa made the check in/out process easy. This trip was for my bachelorette, and the Airbnb is so well decorated for a fun Bach / girl’s trip. We were able to get a hibachi chef at the house to cook in the backyard too.

Our other air b n b was cancelled and we stumbled upon this one and it was the best! The best host and spot! Cant wait to come back!

We had a great time at our stay in Scottsdale! This house was perfect and had everything we needed and more! So much space for our group! The host was also amazing and very responsive. Highly recommend!

Francesca’s place was perfect for our bachelorette party of 9! So much space and had everything you could need for hosting a Bach. Could not recommend more!! Olivia
