About the host
Hosted by Gayle Jennings O'Byrne
After 31 years together, we traded the East Coast for the desert and instantly fell in love with Arizona. We created this home to entice our family and friends to visit and see why Arizona is special, and now we’re thrilled to share it with you.
Thank you for considering staying at the Cactus & Chill House!
We hope you enjoy this labor of love and feel right at home creating your own Cactus & Chill memories.
We will do our best to make your stay a 5-star experience. Reach out with any questions.
Why they chose this property
We were drawn to this area for its natural beauty and relaxed pace. All around you are orange and lemon trees, because the neighborhood is in the heart of citrus groves.
The neighborhood offers a quiet, residential escape without sacrificing convenience. It’s a place where you can hear the birds in the morning and enjoy total privacy, yet you’re only minutes away from golf courses, hiking trails, baseball spring training, major league sports, the convention center, as well as Phoenix and Scottsdale. (without the prices of the big cities).
What we enjoy most is the 'hidden gem' feel. It’s the kind of neighborhood where you can take an evening stroll and truly feel like a local.
What makes this property unique
We designed this home with a 'designer’s eye and a traveler’s heart.'
We collaborated with interior designers on both the West Coast and East Coast of America to curate every corner, even commissioning custom wallpaper from graphic designers in Europe to create a visual experience you won't find anywhere else. Every piece of decor has been hand-selected to create an atmosphere of effortless style.
Outside, the property transforms into a private sanctuary; whether you’re chasing the perfect sunset, gathering for a meal alfresco, or finding a quiet nook for 'me time,' the backyard is designed for the art of unwinding.
From the designer details to the many spaces to gather inside and outdoors, this home is built for making memories.
