Menlo Magic

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Experience Tucson like a true local and make the best desert memories in no time here at Menlo Magic, an eclectic townhome mere minutes from downtown! From the moment you arrive, you will be greeted by the unique gate leading to the front door as you pass through a sun-lit, furnished foyer that will be just the place to sip a morning cup of coffee or evening cocktail. Inside, the real magic presents itself, as the interior of this retreat is absolutely filled with bright pops of modern art, stylish furnishings, exposed ceilings, and all of the comforts of home. No one will have trouble kicking back in the living room with a favorite movie or ballgame playing on the flatscreen TV, as the high-speed WiFi has you covered for streaming services. Not to mention, the culinary-inclined guests of the group will be spoiled in no time when they see the stainless steel appliances, gas range, and cookware in the full kitchen.

Upstairs, you will find another comfortable living area with a flatscreen TV and plush furnishings. Not to mention, both of the bedrooms are on opposite sides of the home to give everyone some peace and privacy when each day comes to a close. The primary suite will be just the place to relax after a day of adventure, as the deep soaking up and private balcony will be calling your name for a bit of alone time.

Hop on the Sun Link Streetcar and venture to downtown Tucson or the University of Arizona campus - a tram stop is just a short walk from home. With so much to see and do here in Tucson, a stay at Menlo Magic may just become a yearly tradition!

Memorial Weekend Get Away - Tucson, Menlo Magic

The location was perfect for where we wanted to be. The home was walking distance to the mercado that we like to visit when in Tucson. Also, the surrounding neighborhood was gorgeous.

Parents weekend

Lovely place close to U of A but far enough away from the chaos of parents weekend! The home is beautifully decorated and has all the necessary amenities. Super easy check in & out. Beds were amazingly comfortable!! We did lose Wi-Fi connection but it came back within an hour or so. Towels were scratchy but not a big issue when everything else was great!

Beautiful getaway

We really enjoyed our stay here, the location was excellent and the property itself was stunningly beautiful. It is walking distance to places to eat, a coffee shop and patio (these places were dog friendly too!) We had a great time and look forward to returning. Thank you for a memorable time away! My only recommendation would be to include more blankets for chilly December nights. We had brought our own additional blankets so it wasn’t a problem! I highly recommend staying at Menlo Magic, you won’t regret it!

Even more amazing the second time around

I absolutely love this home. It’s so welcoming and beautiful. It feels like going home. The furnishings, the location, the comfortable beds. I love it all. If I could make one recommendation it would be to include some spices and oils to help with cooking. If there had been some salt, pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar it would have been appreciated. The kitchen is so beautiful, you want cook something. Thanks again for a wonderful visit.

Best VRBO Ever!

I thought I sent in a review last year when I first stayed here. I don't see it, so I am doing another one. I just booked 8 days in this magical GEM, so I believe that says it all. This home is beautiful inside, outside and the location is perfect. The space, the design, the decor, the kitchen, the beds, the garage, the space for friends and the space for peace and quiet. I have fallen in love and will never ever stay anywhere else in Tucson when this GEM is available. A very special thank you to whoever owns this beautiful home. I love it.

Menlo Magic was a wonderful place to stay. Great architecture and the attention to detail will make this house stand out compared to others. I have two recommendations. A ceiling fan downstairs and dimmers on more lights. Especially in the bathrooms. One more to add, the shower head in the on-suite. It just doesnt do the shower justice. Well layed out, but the shower head could use an update.

Great clean home

The obly reason I didnt give a 5 stars is because the AC didnt seem to be working properly on the first level of the house. It kept getting warmer in the home as the day progressed and the AC would not cool the home to the set temperature. I was getting ready for my wedding that morning so it was extra uncomfortable to not be able to have the house cool down as desired. The internal temp never went below 78 (and rose to 80s), even though we had it set at 75.

Beautiful, but..

Beautiful home! Very clean and spacious. I wish the master bedroom's window had a curtain since a lot of sunlight came in from very early in the morning. Additionally, the AC unit on the first level didn't seem to be working well. We kept trying to bring the temp down, and the temperature inside kept rising as the day warmed up. No matter what temp we set the AC at, it was no use.

Beautiful and convenient to all

The listing does not do justice to the spaciousness and beauty of the unit. The unit is filled with gorgeous and unique furniture. The decorations are museum worthy.The bed in the primary bedroom is extremely comfortable, and the room has an enormous walk-in closet and bathroom. Not to mention a lovely balcony.The front of the unit is enclosed with gorgeous antique doors that inspire passers-by to stop and take pictures.The only downsides are the concrete floors downstairs, a very long staircase to the second floor, shower heads that will be impossible to reach for the vertically challenged, and the lack of a shower wand.The location is super convenient to everything, and having the Mercato within steps of the unit, means that there is plenty to eat and see nearby.We will seek this unit out the next time we visit Tucson. Great place!

Nice Unit, Nice Location, Poor Customer Service

The unit is smartly decored with high-end appliances and is located within easy walking distance to the Mercado and the tram.Our only compliant is that we asked for service to repair a couple items (refrigerator water filter needed replacing and toilet dispenser broken) and the text response (probably AI generated) said they would notify the local maintenance person but no one ever showed. We did get a "sorry for the inconvenience" text, however. :(

Lovely space and wonderful location

Me and my husband were in town for our wedding reception and wanted to have a space that was big enough to hold all our extra items while also having a nice vibe and this house was perfect! It was just the two of us, but the house would not have felt cramped even with a bigger group. All the finishing touches are really nice and the couch in the living room is also super comfortable. The beds and bedding are good quality and the shower is really nice. Also having the garage attached made for really easy transport of items to the venue and allowed us to pack them early or leave them overnight and not have to worry. The location is honestly what makes it, though. The Annex is literally next door and there is coffee, food, a bar, and cool stores. It’s also a local place and not a chain so it’s all locally owned shops and restaurants, nothing you’d see anywhere else.

Exceptional decor. Well equipped. Great location.

We loved the architectural design of this exceptional two bedroom plus loft unit in menlo park. High and comfrt throughout. Lovely finishes and distinctive art add flourish to the thoughtful function of this multi-level space. Garage has washer-dryer. Patio opens to lovely walkway . Lime trees and fig and flowers dot the landscape fronting the townhomes . Quieter than we expected and love that! Close to mercado- restaurants, coffee shops, , bakery and unique clothinf/gift shops. Trolley stop is one block from the unit.

Eclectic neighborhood

The property is very nice and in a cool area. However, we had some issues at checkin which they sent someone out the next afternoon to rectify. Our other issue is the bedding. The listing shows 2 bedrooms and a pull out sofa bed. There were not any sheets at this property to put on the sofa bed. We were traveling with 4 people. 1 couple and 2 individuals that needed their own beds. I reached out to Vacasa and their response was that yes they were aware there were not extra sheets on site. Basically, oh well. I text back to ask why when the pull out couch was featured in the listing and they never responded to that text. We had to purchase a set of sheets ourselves.

Very nice condo. The layout of the complex made it difficult to find the front door (which wasn't really usable because there was no parking near it). It was nice to have garage access, but it would help to have the unit's address at the door. Getting into and out of the garage was tight, but it was worth the effort to have the garage. Having an available washer and dryer influenced my decision to book the unit. There were plenty of restaurants located nearby. Overall, a clean and nicely furnished unit.
