Vacation in Tucson

Place was excellent for our stay in Tucson. Quiet neighborhood but still within walking distance to the restaurants near the college. Sofa bed was a plus. Would definitely rent from Todd again.

We had a great time! The neighborhood is so fun. The unit is just two blocks from Time Market which we highly recommend for food and coffee. The house was clean and cozy and well equipped.

We had a lovely stay at Desert Bloom in the month of March. The house was ready and spotless when we arrived, and we especially enjoyed the Tucson vibe! Many thanks to our hosts, and we'd definitely stay again.

Sweet casita, great location.

Cute casita in a great location. Walking distance to fun shops and dining. Todd was great. For some odd reason my reservation didn’t show in the VRBO system so we likely needed a bit of extra hand holding but the owners were very nice and accommodating. Nice experience. Good value.

Actually, we had to cancel our trip due to severe weather, making a road trip inadvisable. The crew at Desert Bloom were kind and compassionate. Luckily we insured our stay and Desert Bloom was very helpful giving us the documentation we needed for the insurance company. Would be happy to book again! Thank you.
