Planning a Scottsdale bachelorette party, birthday bash, or just a much-needed girls’ getaway? You’re probably swimming in Airbnb listings and group chat debates…but trust us: Cactus Blanco is that house. This desert-chic vacation rental isn’t just another place to crash. It’s a hand-curated, celebration-ready home base designed by someone who’s been in your exact stilettos.
Whether you’re planning a private hibachi night, lounging poolside with mimosas, or glamming up for a night in Old Town, Cactus Blanco is one of the top things to book in Scottsdale for group travel, and we’re about to show you why.
Meet your host: Francesca Hamilton, a Scottsdale real estate pro with a serious love for travel, food, wine, and unforgettable celebrations. After helping dozens of clients buy vacation rentals, she realized something was missing from the local market: a stay that genuinely caters to celebratory group travel.
So in 2021, she bought what would become Cactus Blanco and spent a full year turning it into the dream home-away-from-home. She knocked down walls to create an open-concept living space, added a full glam station (hello, extra outlets and mirrors), and even redesigned the entire backyard to feel like a mini resort.
Every single choice, from the Beautyrest mattresses to the oversized kitchen island, was made with bachelorette crews, girls’ weekends, and squad trips in mind.
Let’s break it down:
Francesca’s favorite room? The kitchen. And it shows.
Hosting a group dinner or mimosa-filled brunch? You’ve got everything you need.
You can roll 10 deep and still have room to breathe.
If you’ve been Googling “best areas to stay in Scottsdale for a girls trip,” you’ve hit the jackpot. Cactus Blanco is:
Many Scottsdale vacation rentals claim to be centrally located—but this one actually is. Mid-pool day snack run? You can be back in 7 minutes flat.
Whether you’re brunching at Wine Girl, sipping spicy margs at Carlsbad Tavern, or singing your heart out at Grapevine karaoke, Francesca has lived the bachelorette experience herself, and has designed the home to support every vibe.
This isn’t just a place to stay, it’s a full-on experience.
This isn’t a corporate Airbnb listing managed by someone three states away. Francesca is local. She’s a newlywed, a real estate badass, a former Maid of Honor, and someone who cares deeply about your trip.
Booking Cactus Blanco means supporting a woman-owned small business and getting personalized touches you won’t find anywhere else.
