Central location with all the right amenities for the perfect vacation.

Newly purchased for our VRBO inventory we have opened this Tucson Central Gem. Great walking area with sidewalks and mini library book boxes. We are currently and have been five star Hosts on all our properties and know how to treat you. The Saltillo tile gives the home that cool, comfortable Spanish flare. There is a pellet stove for the cold nights and for the warm nights, cool off in the pool. Enjoy the large bay windows looking out to the pool area. Fun to be had, just needs you.
There are two houses on the estate that are completely separate from each other.

We had a great time in Tucson. Spent the weekend visiting our son who attends UofA so the close proximity to the university was appreciated. We arrived late from the airport but had no trouble checking in, thanks to perfect instructions from Craig and Todd. Our teenagers enjoyed cooling off at the pool after a day out in the desert. Had no trouble whatsoever and would definitely return to this location for future visits

Great house in a great location

The property was easy to find, very clean and well stocked. The hot tub was lovely for the chilly nights, we didn’t use the pool as weather was too cold. The fireplace warmed up the place nicely in our last night. Close to national parks, entertaining and dining. A great place and the hosts were friendly and had great communication. Would definitely recommend to friends and family wanting to visit Tucson.

Amazing Home and Location!

My daughter and I stayed here for our trip to the Tucson Gem Show. It was perfect for us in every way! The location was close to all the venues and tons of restaurants to choose from. We took one day to just hang out in the sun and enjoy the pool. It was so relaxing and just what we needed. Thank you!!!

Fabulous stay!

A group of 4 of us stayed to celebrate a friend’s 50th birthday. We had a lovely time, the hot tub, pool, and backyard were quite relaxing. The hosts were great with communications and we felt if we needed anything we could reach out. Luckily, we didn’t need anything, the house had it all. Wonderful stay, we’ll be back again in the future. Highly recommend this place!

Xmas getaway

First time visiting the area, we found the property close to many sites we had on our list from the U of A, Rincón mountain, Saguaro 🌵 National park, and the botanical garden. The property provided plenty of room for the family to spread out and relax. We enjoyed the spa, but unfortunately December wasn’t warm enough to use the pool. All in all a great stay!

Owner’s were very accommodating and responsive on arrival. Home was clean and as advertised. Not warm enough outside to use the pool, but the hot tub was nice. Best part of this property is for sure the comfy beds. Everyone slept great! Thank you so much for letting us use your lovely home.

Great place for a getaway

This property is great!! Communication with the hosts is easy & they are responsive. The kitchen is very well stocked - from dishes to spices! The seating in the common area was very comfortable - great place to hang out. The pool was amazing & refreshing…perfect for the 100+ degree heat. The beds are very comfortable. The bathrooms very clean & well stocked. The home is welcoming and helped make our trip to Tucson special.

Tucson Retreat

The home is a nicely remodeled older home with interesting decor and furnishings. It would be a good choice for families as well as couples. We loved the outdoor pool area even though it was too cold to swim in January. There is however a hot tub on site for use. The location is pretty good and centered in the older part of town. It’s not real walkable unless your used to walking .5 a 1-miles to get to restaurants.

wonderful hosts

although the property is old and does not have the conveniences of a modern day building the yard is spectacular, the location is great and the property is charming. The hosts are communicative, pleasant and available. We had 2 married couples and a single with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and we all managed very well.

Super convenient

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. We were there to drop our son off at UofA and the location of this property was perfect. We were less than 10 minutes to his dorm, and 10 minutes away from the foothills and great restaurants. The property was spacious for the four of us, very clean and comfortable. Communication with the owner was great - they were very proactive and responsive to all questions. Check in was the easiest process I’ve had at a VRBO. We will definitely try to stay at this house as often as possible when we visit our son.

Long weekend getaway

It was clean and the backyard is very nice although we couldn’t enjoy the pool because the water was too cold but the tub was nice. Due to the age of the home there are some plumbing issues which were a little annoying. The home’s decor is a bit heavy and dark for the home that is already naturally dark. Overall it did the job of having a clean place to stay while I visited my daughter at UofA. The location to the school was convenient.
