Needed a place to host Easter dinner while visiting our Son at U of A and this was perfect spot. Easy drive to campus and house was very nice and as advertised. Outdoor/pool area is fantastic!
Fun family trip for Thanksgiving. We all enjoyed the beautiful location and pool and hot tub. Kitchen is well equipped and allowed to cook a proper Thanksgiving meal! Hosts answered our questions very quickly.
My family stayed here with a list of plans for touring Tucson and the surrounding area. The house, pool, and yard were so relaxing we scrapped half the list and just enjoyed the house. The house is a short drive to downtown as well as Saguaro National Park and the Desert Museum and is located in the Suguaro forest with spectacular desert views.
We really enjoyed the house. It was beautiful just like the pictures. There was a couple things that I’d really didn’t like when you wanted to use the hot tub you had to call the property manager and they had to turn it on for you so you couldn’t just turn it on when you wanted to same way with the pool then it took so long for the pool to get heated would’ve been nicer It would’ve been nicer if we could’ve just turned the hot tub in the pool on when we were ready instead of calling the property manager outside of that house was gorgeous. Everything was nice and clean. The managers was very accommodating and very nice.
The property was in a beautiful, private setting, but close enough to a grocery store to be convenient. Also very close to Old Tucson, the Desert Museum and Saguaro National Park. House was clean and spacious. We rented this property specifically because of the pool and jacuzzi. That part was not so convenient. We had to contact the owner each time to heat the pool and/or jacuzzi.. Renters cannot control that on their own. The first night it took 3 hours for the owner to respond so that we could use the jacuzzi. Big nuisance! Otherwise, nice stay overall.
This home exceeded our expectations. We VRBO often and you never know just from pictures and descriptions what you really rent till you get there. This home was very clean and decorated with beautiful decor and tile throughout. The Kitchen is huge and very well stocked, with everything you need to cook meals. Everyone was very pleased with the comfort of their beds, none of us had back issues after a week's stay. Property was quiet and had great views from the front and pool area.
Communication with the owner was excellent, he was very prompt and friendly. The only problem we had, was we couldn’t stay longer! Thank you Armando for a great stay, we will be back.
The house was spacious and comfortable. It was equipped with all the things we needed. Armando was amazing to work with. My family had a great vacation.!
This is the second year we’ve stayed at this property for an annual conference. We attend each year. We hope to stay at this property every year moving forward no complaints beautiful property great communication very clean.
This is a beautiful, secluded home with amazing backyard Tucson scenery. The main areas of the home were very clean. The outdoor spaces are wonderful! A few small things to note: 1) the two car garage is not available to guests as it is full of storage, toys, tools, etc.; 2) the closets, fridges, & pantries in the home had numerous personal items in them - this was surprising & and a small inconvenience. Overall, great stay!
Amazing property, location, decor, pool. I feel the property could use some TLC, some things didn't work. But it was truly amazing and luxurious nonetheless. I highly recommend.
