What a real “gem” of a place, loved the mid-century vibes alive and well. Property felt secure and comfortable, backyard a perfect place to relax with the pool (a plus for a northeasterner in late winter!), and the locale perfect for getting around. The host was very ready with any questions and had nice extra touches ready for our stay like a well-kept kitchen supply, soaps in the bathrooms and plenty of extra towels, though I singlehandedly demolished their entire supply of facial tissues due to a head cold (sorry, Ron!) We look forward to visiting again thanks to the comfort offered here and will look to stay again. Thank you, Ron and Julie!

The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a beautiful home, full of thoughtful, artistic details. Super clean. Easy to access, quiet street. Great pool and lounging chairs. Plenty of room for a family. Was just myself and my freshman Wildcat. Was a perfect place to land before checking into dorms. Caught a beautiful sunset too!

Perfect vacation spot

Our stay at Julie's Duffy property was absolutely all we could have hoped for. The house was clean, well furnished, and filled with local history. My family enjoyed reading about the previous owners and their passion for rock collecting. We enjoyed the mountains, the hiking, and the restaurants of Tuscon, and it was awesome to look forward to coming home to this property. It was just away from the busy streets, and the neighborhood was clean and very quiet. I'd highly recommend this house, and we'd love to come back again.

Lovely home in quiet neighborhood

We stayed for a weekend in the summer. The house AC worked great and the pool was amazing. This home is very well decorated and stocked. The water pressure was great and the beds were all very comfortable. There is ample parking including covered parking. The property has great privacy and is located on a col de sac. Lovely back yard that our doggies enjoyed. I would highly recommend this place. We will stay here again for sure.

Cute and close to everything

Spent the week here with my parents, husband and 7yo son, everyone loved the retro vibe of the house, and while the pool was a lil cold for me (it was February) that didn't stop my son from using it and having a great time! Ron stopped by the house 1 day to check on the pool and provided us with a lot of great things to do in the area. The location was great, was close to just about everything and was a nice quiet neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again in the future!
