Cactus Cove

Sally is a savant of guest service, and you will definitely feel at home away from home.

Excellent stay. The host was incredible and so kind. Grounds were clean and quiet. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Cactus Cove is a very well presented and comfortable property situated in an outstanding, peaceful location. The rooms are tastefully furnished and the garden/grounds including pool area are immaculately maintained. Sally, the owner, is a wonderful hostess who provides delicious breakfasts, normally with a theme, which are varied and elegantly presented. Our party was two couples who stayed 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time here, Thank you Sally.

Comfortable stay with delicious breakfasts. Sally greets you at check in with an afternoon snack, gives you a tour, and shows you everything about your room and the common spaces. The property is gorgeously nestled in the desert with a spacious patio/ pool area and stunning views. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Location was a great launch point for visits to Mount Lemmon, Saguaro National Park East, and Sabino Canyon. There’s an afternoon snack awaiting you in your room each day and a nice breakfast each morning with Sally and the other guests (there are only 3 rooms so it’s a nice small group). If you’re looking for an impersonal, corporate hotel experience, this is likely not for you, but if you’re open to meeting a lovely, interesting person and staying at a delightful property, Cactus Cove is a gem. One small note: In the room we stayed (Ocotillo room), the inside shower is the French style handheld associated with the jacuzzi tub (would be challenging if you are mobility-limited) and the American style stand up shower is outside in your private courtyard. We used the outside shower on a particularly chilly morning and it was still comfortable because we let the water warm up first. We travel a lot internationally so these quirky features were comfortable for us, but may be a bit surprising for travelers accustomed to corporate hotels in the US. We loved our stay and hope to return in the future.

My wife and I went to Tucson for a long weekend for our wedding anniversary. We chose Cactus Cove as it looked like a beautiful, quiet place to spend a few days. Sally greatly exceeded our expectations. The property is beautiful and very quiet. The view of the mountains is exceptional. Even though it is still in the city, it feels very secluded. The suite was beautifully furnished and quite spacious. Our room had a private courtyard with an outdoor shower! On top of all that, Sally was delightful! She is an excellent conversationalist and I enjoyed the time we spent with her. Breakfast was excellent. Perhaps one of the best huevos rancheros I’ve had. This was an excellent experience. We will definitely come back the next time we are in Tucson.

Sally, the properties owner is a dlightful woman! And her property is simply amazing! A million dollar view for sure. Breakfasts were lovely, as was the afternoon snack. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we definitely will return. A very spcial place.

What a wonderful exclusive B&B. Sally treated us like a king and queen. Our room included a big sitting area, excellent decore, a big two person shower, separate jetted tub, and private walled patio, and an outdoor shower. Breakfast included homemade croissant rolls, and a personal botanical garden tour afterwards. We didn't brave the unheated pool, though the pool area was surrounded by desert plants, including blooming cactus and orange blossoms. Unfortunately, we had to cut out trip short, but Sally without hesitation gave us a refund for circumstances beyond our control. We shall return!!!

Sally is an amazing host and Cactus Cove is a wonderful place to stay. I could not recommend it more highly.

My friend and I spent one night at Cactus Cove and it was beautiful serene place to stay! Our room had all the amenities we could ask for and the pool area was amazing. Our host Sally warmly welcomed us and breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend staying here and plan to go back again in the future.

What a wonderful surprise it was to arrive at Cactus Cove! Just outside Tucson, it is an extremely scenic, beautifully decorated home with only 4 lovely units. Great privacy, peace, with mountain and desert views. The owner, a generous, accommodating, interesting woman, treats guests like family, making sure they have everything they need. The breakfasts, each day with an international flair, were delicious!
