About this property

Close to Gem Show with large Garage, near U of A with Pool and Hot Tub.

Hacienda Gecko is the ideal place for your Tucson vacation. Whether you are in town for The Gem Show, visiting the University of Arizona, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, golf, health spa, or a vacation to take it all in, Hacienda Gecko is close to everything and will be your launching pad to everything Tucson has to offer.

Situated in a quiet neighborhood in the hills above Tucson, Hacienda Gecko is located fifteen minutes from Downtown Tucson and U of A. Within twelve minutes you will find yourself at the J. W. Marriott golf and spa complex and only twenty-five minutes to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Tumamoc Hill, “A” Mountain, and The Loop are only minutes away as are numerous other adventures that are waiting for you to explore.

Hacienda Gecko offers plenty of space for everyone in your group. The house features four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The massive master bedroom has a king size bed and an en-suite, spa-like bathroom. Pamper yourself with a huge walk-in shower with dual shower heads and wands. Additionally, this space has two sinks and a walk-in closet. There is a smart TV with cable, a sitting area and a beehive fireplace there as well. Two more bedrooms, at the opposite end of the house, each have queen size beds with a nearby full bathroom with tub and shower. The fourth sleeping area has a queen size bed and a set of twin bunk beds bringing the total sleeping capacity in the house to ten. The fourth bedroom with twin beds has a smart TV with cable and a DVD Blue Ray player as well so it’s can also be an ideal hang out for kids and teens.

The kitchen, with stainless steel appliances, a gas range, a Keurig coffee system, and Quartz countertops, will accommodate all of your culinary needs. Enjoy having your meals together with everyone around the massive dining room table that seats ten.
The kitchen and dining area open up to a sunken living room. There’s room for everyone to visit or watch TV or movies here with a wraparound leather sectional and 80” smart TV with DVD/Blue Ray player.

There’s no doubt that the pool and hot tub area will also be a big hit. Much time is spent outdoors in Arizona and Hacienda Gecko has that covered in a big way. There are four loungers, a table that seats six under the Ramada, plus another cozy patio seating area. A gas grill is located there for your barbequing needs. The outdoor space has a resort-like feel. There is a view of the mountains and of the city lights from the secluded back yard. The space is nicely lit for evenings outdoors including string lights for that true southwest feel.

*Pool heating (set by the property owner at 88 degrees) is optional at $50 per day and will be added as a separate transaction after initial booking.

Rounding out the property is a three-car garage, a ping pong table for those spirited tournaments that seem to happen, and a small putting green in the front of the property.

Nearby you will conveniently find grocery stores, restaurants, and pharmacies. The freeway is also nearby making Tucson navigation a breeze.

Your visit to Tucson will not be complete without staying at Hacienda Gecko. Treat yourself to a comfortable and inviting home that is close to everything that Tucson has to offer. Hacienda Gecko is a true southwest experience that does not disappoint!

Your safety matters. This property features 2 exterior security cameras. One is by the garage and the other is at the front of the property. (They do not look into any interior spaces, the pool or the hot tub)

Lovely quiet setting close to U

It was a busy graduation weekend so we were often off the property and weren’t able to use the house and pool to its fullest extent, but it was lovely.

Loved our stay in the Gecko House!

We dropped off our daughter at UofA and this was the perfect place to stay! It’s only a 15 minute drive to campus and it’s a great escape from all the chaos of move in. House was so spacious and laid out perfectly. Spent a lot of time in the awesome pool! Would love to stay here again. Highly recommend!

Great Property and Location

This was the perfect place to get away with other friends. It's in a great location - about a 15-20 min drive from anywhere else in Tucson. The pool makes for a relaxing atmosphere and there is plenty of space in the house to enjoy time with friends. We mainly used the pool but there are other activities to do there: ping pong, putting green, a large fenced yard, and a hot tub. We really enjoyed our stay there - it was perfect for our group of four friends.

Wonderful home away from home!

This property exceeded our expectations. We needed a home that could accommodate a multi-generational family vacation and this property fit the bill. There were great gathering spaces in the living room, dining room and outside as well as nice bedrooms to escape to if needed. The kids made great use of the pool everyday. The kitchen was very well appointed with the utensils and gadgets you would want to have. We even found a griddle so we made French toast one morning! The beds were all comfortable and the bathrooms had plenty of towels. We probably used the outside spaces the most and just enjoyed being together as a family. The TV was great for at night when the adults were hanging out. Great communication with owners when needed. Kids are already asking when we can go back. Would definitely book again!

We absolutely loved our stay! We travel annually to Tucson and this house was the perfect landing pad for our group of 10 (6 adults, 1 teen and 3 kids. The home is spacious and cozy. The pingpong table in the garage was a huge hit, as was the heated pool and hot tub. the kitchen was well stocked to prepare food for our group, along with plenty of supplies to run the dishwasher and clean up after ourselves. The furniture was comfortable and the living room and dining table were perfect for our group.

About the host

Hosted by Kristine

Host profile image
We are experienced vacation rental hosts with homes to rent in Lincoln City, Oregon - Sandpoint, Idaho - Las Vegas, Nevada and now Tucson, Arizona. We loved staying at vacation rentals as a family with with our parents and our three kids so much better than staying at hotels that we started buying homes to share that kind of experience with others.

Why they chose this property

This property has real Tuscan charm with a unique floor plan. From the Terra Cotta tile floors, the large backyard Ramada and private swimming pool to the, various cactus, flowing plants, orange and grapefruit trees, it's like a desert oasis. Views of the mountains and the city, it has a secluded rural feel yet it is in the city and is easy access to all Tucson has to offer.
