The home is in a beautiful quiet, upscale neighborhood of Tucson with a fantastic view. The driveway is very, very steep and parking more than two vehicles was difficult. The interior was clean and well kept beds were made, and bathrooms were clean. Unfortunately the outside was not the cleaning crew had forgotten to check the exterior before we arrived, and there was leftovers from s’mores kids and towels with chairs all over the place. That wasn’t so bad because it only took me five or 10 minutes to pick things up however you’re not able to heat the pool or spa or turn the jets on manually I needed to ask the renter to do it for us which was very awkward he also said he would heat the pool, but that was never done and I just didn’t feel like asking again. One of the living room couches had seat cushions that were flipped over I guess from stains on the other side, but I didn’t look. All in all it was fine, but I don’t know if I would stay again.

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!

Oasis in Tucson

The house was immaculate with well appointed amenities. Not all those amenities were working but the important ones were. We had 7 people staying at the house. There was enough space to get alone time but also spend plenty of time together. This is the perfect location and incredibly close to downtown, the desert museum and the zoo. I highly recommend!

The sisters trip

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.

Nice stay overall

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.

Wonderful, large house with a fabulous yard.

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.

Amazing Stay at this Home

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.
