Since its founding in 2016, Coast to Cactus Vacation Rental Management has carved out a distinct niche in the short-term rental industry. Headquartered in Arizona, the full-service property management company has become a go-to partner for homeowners and travelers, offering everything from expert property oversight to an elevated guest experience – all with a local touch.
Peter and Diana Carabetta, the husband-and-wife duo behind the venture, first dipped their toes into the short-term rental market by converting a small casita behind their home in Phoenix’s Biltmore area into an Airbnb.
“We were blown away by the response and realized we could help others replicate the same success,” Carabetta recalled. That early venture soon blossomed into a full-fledged operation dedicated to helping other property owners achieve hands-off profitability.
Unlike global booking platforms, Coast to Cactus encourages guests to book directly through CoasttoCactus.com. Doing so avoids third-party service fees and unlocks benefits like lower rates, personalized support from the local team, and exclusive perks not offered elsewhere. This direct booking approach also ensures more revenue stays within the local economy – an important value for the owners.
The company specializes in managing a diverse range of properties across popular Arizona destinations in Scottsdale and beyond. From cozy condos to expansive single-family homes featuring luxury amenities such as private pools, hot tubs, pickleball courts, and putting greens, there’s something to suit every traveler’s taste.
Many of these homes are owned by part-time Arizona residents who rent them out when they’re away, trusting Coast to Cactus to maintain and manage their investments with care.
Summer in Arizona brings its own unique opportunities, especially for local residents. With lower seasonal rates and greater availability, staycations have become increasingly popular.
“We see a lot of Arizonans booking with us during the summer months,” Carabetta said. “It’s the perfect way to enjoy a break without traveling far – and if you don’t have a pool at home, even better.”
Whether travelers are escaping the heat, seeking a peaceful getaway, or simply supporting an Arizona business, Coast to Cactus offers a compelling alternative to traditional travel. With a focus on quality, hospitality, and community, the company continues to redefine what it means to rent—and relax—in Arizona. Learn more at coasttocactus.com.
