Updated 3BR Retreat • Hot Tub • Quiet & Central • Near Zoo, Dining & Parks

Welcome to Hacienda del Saguaro—a beautifully updated 3 bedroom, 2 bath desert retreat in the heart of Tucson! Relax in your private hot tub, unwind in the fenced yard, stream your favorite shows on smart TVs, or cook in the fully stocked kitchen. Located in a quiet, safe neighborhood just minutes from Reid Park, the Botanical Gardens, zoo, golf, great restaurants, and shopping, this central location makes it easy to explore Tucson while enjoying total comfort and privacy. Perfect for families, couples, snowbirds, or extended stays, this home offers everything you need for a relaxing and memorable getaway.

There is a small guest house on the property that is separated from the home that an elderly woman lives in. She has her own entry and does not use any of the homes yards, porches or other features. She is a wonderful lady that stays to herself.

We have one security camera near entry way on porch facing out towards street.

Centrally located and super convenient for getting anywhere we needed. The house is really cute, with comfy beds and a fun backyard to relax in. We did have a few small mishaps during our stay — the hall bathroom shower curtain rod fell when we opened the curtain to turn on the shower and we couldn’t get it back up, so we all used the primary bathroom. The toilet paper holders in both bathrooms also came loose and seem like they just need a quick tightening. On Day 3, the ice maker stopped making ice and the refrigerator’s external water dispenser stopped working as well.None of these were major issues, but little things like that can make a difference, especially for us (three guests in our late 50s/early 60s) who appreciate ease and convenience. There was a hairdryer in the primary bathroom, but having one in the hall bathroom would have been helpful too.Overall, we were happy with our stay. Craig was quick to respond and even allowed us an early check-in. The small issues didn’t ruin our trip, but addressing them would make the stay even nicer.

Attractive and convenient house

This is a nicely decorated, comfortable house in a convenient part of town. Even though the weather wasnt great on our stay we still enjoyed the back yard with the large cacti. The master bedroom is a little quirky but the master bath is great. The house is nicely stocked, it had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.
