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!

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.

Convenient Location - Cozy, Clean and Quiet

We enjoyed a girlfriend get together and loved this space. Great space to gather, but also plenty of room to have private space. There are places to eat and shop within easy walking distance and the SunLink stops just around the corner. We enjoyed the decor, modern conveniences and quiet nights. Plus, a spacious private garage that fit our friend's large pick-up!

Beautiful townhome in central location. But has roaches.

We enjoyed being in the Menlo Park area. It's close to the streetcar and downtown Tucson. The home is lovely. However, we kept seeing large roaches in the guest bathroom, which was disgusting.

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 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!

Fantastic Townhouse!

This home was perfect in every way for my wife and I! It's super spacious with a really cool design and very tastefully decorated. The area is also really cool with some nice shops and restaurants within walking distance. Decibel coffee across the way is delicious! There are hiking trails within a mile and another couple 2-3 miles away. We didn't cook but as far as I could tell, they accounted for everything you would need. Thank you, we will be back next time we visit Tucson.

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.
