The house was perfect. Lots of cool amenities and a great location. Just a warning that the neighbor has two large dogs that get upset if you use the backyard.
Stayed for 3 nights with family while celebrating my nephew’s wedding. House fit our needs. Well kept inside but could use some outside furniture updates. Pool was nice to cool off in.
The location is beautiful, very centrally located. Great neighborhood. We had a great time. Just a couple amenities missing from the house. House was lovely with a wonderful pool and waterfall. Beautiful scenery
Home was beautiful, went for thanksgiving. Communication with hosts was top tier. There was a little bit of a hassle with work going on at the unit, that was undisclosed, we couldn’t use outside amenities due to the work which was a little bit of a bummer, but overall… beautiful location and place!!

Beautiful & Clean
We absolutely loved our stay at Continental Reserve. The house was clean with a wonderful living room. The couches in the living room were very comfortable. We really enjoyed spending time outside listening to the waterfall by the pool.
Overall, great place to stay. Highly recommend!
Inattentive host after reaching out about problems with rental. Front door left open. Lock broken. Items inside in disrepair. Some amenities not available. No supplies to clean up upon checkout. Had to buy things that should have been supplied. Owner promised to repay. I have reached out twice. No response. Worst experience on a VRBO ever. Buyer beware.

Nice in general
The place is nice in general and I'm sure the owners are good people. We never complained to them and maybe should have for fairness. We made the mistake of assuming when renting a house with a garage in the picture that we'd have access to it however it was locked. We also didn't expect to be locked out of the master bedroom and bathroom (the description having 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is accurate however it's a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom house). The grill partially worked but it needs some TLC. The outdoor patio has potential to be much nicer; the grill was falling apart, there were empty propane tanks in the lawn, and there was a pile of garbage bags. There weren't any kitchen towels. The most frustrating thing to us was the thermostats: There are Nest thermostats on both levels which they have programmed to their desire. Both nights we and our 3 year old woke up cold. The upstairs thermostat goes down to 68 and the downstairs goes down to 58. We tried overriding their program both nights without success. As the previous review states; there are several lights that don't work, yet we were able to getting lighting where we needed most. Perhaps these are petty things because after all we enjoyed our stay, especially the comfortable furniture.
This home was everything and more! The hosts, Tom and Hillary, treated us as family. When we needed to contact them the response time was immediately. The pictures don't do the house justice and the backyard is amazing. When we were home, our time was spent in the backyard where all meals were ate and family time enjoyed. The pool was the best and enjoyed by all. The only thing disappointing thing about the house is we can't reserve it for next year!😪 Thanks again for letting us enjoy your home.

Beautiful home in a really nice neighborhood. Thank you for letting us stay. More amenities than we even expected. We hope to stay here again in the future.
GREAT HOSTS and excellent communication! This home is spectacular and is beautiful inside and out. The property is fantastic---bigger and better than photos. We could tell the Hosts have put some love into this place. Excellent location, house was extremely clean, kitchen well stocked with anything you could need for cooking, beds are super comfortable, and communication was available from Thomas and Hillary the entire stay. We only wish we had more time to stay longer. We enjoyed our stay and will absolutely book this place again. Thank you for this beautiful and blessed memory!
The house was great, the pool was great. The house is in a neighborhood with neighbors are both sides.
The hist was very strict about number of people at the house during day or night which I didn’t realize when I booked the property. It worked out fine but if you plan to have friends over you may want to stay elsewhere
We were quite satisfied with this property and had a great time staying there. There are some nice gadgets and electronics for all the enjoy. The pool is incredible, and we would stay here again.
This is the perfect house all the way around! Whether you have small kids or big kids this home had everything you could ever need or want. I ran on a treadmill, rowing machine, and went swimming in a really nice pool. The view was really good and the neighborhood was great. I would highly recommend because the owners were the best too! Thanks
This house was comfortable, lots of room, decorated well, and clean on arrival. The host was very easy to communicate with and quick about responding to any questions with answers. All of the beds are firm, but I slept well. The AC ran on a timed schedule but could be easily restarted when the cycle was up. The Nest AC is not locked or controlled by the host; the dial asks for a PIN but temp can still be adjusted without the PIN by guests. Backyard is resort level beauty. It can get very windy in the back at times but overall feels like a desert paradise. All amenities as promised. We were very pleased with our stay. Would recommend to others & stay again.
This home is immaculate and unfortunately we have to leave.
Just before we headed to Tucson I saw 2 negative reviews. I'm so glad we contacted the owners. They were totally inaccurate. I simply can't say enough except thanks for sharing your home with us.

A little less than expected
The house apparently hadn't been rented for a while, the keyless entry didn't work and there were several lights that were not working. The kitchen was not designed for cooking from scratch and the only coffee maker was Kuerig with Mac Donald's pods. The beds were all tempurpedic and the linens were of poor quality. Location was good, we could go hiking from the doorstep.

Great place to stay in Tucson area.
Great house. Bigger and better than the photos. Comfortable beds. Large kitchen. Although we didn’t cook much it appeared to have everything a person could need. Great outdoor area!
Would definitely stay again.

Amazing house
The pictures didn’t do the house justice. It’s a lot bigger than it looks. So comfortable and nice. Every detail taken care of. Loved it.
