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.

Cozy and quiet oasis in Phoenix
This place had everything I needed and felt super comfortable. I felt safe and it was in a very quiet and nice neighborhood. This place felt like home and Jim was very responsive during my stay. Instructions were clear and check-in was smooth. I would 100% stay at this place again if I returned to Phoenix!

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.

Our new favorite in PHX!
What a wonderful 10 days we had in the Cactus Flower Casita! Jim and Pam are wonderful hosts and the casita was perfect in every single way - Jim and Pam have thought of everything to make their guests feel right at home. Well appointed kitchen - you don't miss the stove, I promise, roomy bedroom and living spaces - hard to believe you're in a casita! The casita provides lots of outdoor space just for the guests and Jim and Pam also give you freedom to use their pool, which I enjoyed on the 100 degree days. And the location is ideal - easy to get to downtown Phoenix, Encanto Park, and best of all for us, just a 5 minute drive to family that we are visiting!

relaxing vacation property
It was a beautiful property with flowering bushs and plants. The owners live on the property but you don't know it. They are there if you need them but other than that you don't see them. Bed was very comfortable would return there again. The only thing I missed was a stove and oven but had a air fryer and a grill worked out great.

Jim & Pam’s casita is absolutely beautiful, decorated to such a high standard and really clean. They have provided everything you could need, and more! The gardens and pool area are lovely, so relaxing listening to the birds and watching the hummingbirds. The location is great, super accessible to Phoenix.

We have stayed in many vacation rentals over the years all across the USA. The cactus flower casita is now one of our top favorites. The minute we stepped into the backyard oasis it was like being in our own private getaway. The casitas itself is adorable and Jim & Pam have made sure everything is available to you. The attention to detail with all the comforts of home. Wish we could have stayed longer. We will be back!

Encanto Casita (10 Star Rating +)
This being our first time using VRBO, we were blown away by the wonderful experience. The hosts were very welcoming when we arrived. Once inside, we felt at home. The decor was very relaxing and zen. The attention to detail for amazing. Jim and Pam thought of everything we would possibly need. The outside patio provided a wonderful quiet place to read and a hummingbird even came to say hello. It was the perfect place for our weekend getaway. We plan on visiting Phoenix again and hope to stay here. I have already referred them to a few people I know. All of our future VRBO rentals have big soes to fill. Thank you Jim, Pam, Giblet and Willie
