Location, size and host were all excellent. We had a large family all staying for our daughters graduation and the home, grounds and location was perfect. However, all of us noticed that all the appliances, pots/pans, glassware, utensils all needed to be washed. My MIL and I did a kitchen deep clean, but then noticed as we went to bed that the sheets needed to be cleaned as well (makeup on pillow cases). This Vrbo would have been perfect, it just needed a new set of eyes to make sure it was properly cleaned.
Overall, our stay was wonderful. Loved the location, the views, and the privacy of the property even though it was by no means secluded. The pool was great. Would definitely recommend the property and stay again.Some things to consider. Think about replacing the refrigerator and especially the dishwasher. The dishwasher did not work well at all. The icemaker on the frig wasn't working, but the supplied ice offset that problem. Lastly, the grill grates are in need of serious cleaning.
This is a beautiful house that was very clean and was perfect for our family to stay there. The communication with the host was wonderful. Over a holiday weekend one of the lights was out in the shower and they very quickly arranged for the maintenance person to change it. The kitchen is very well stocked. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommended to others.
Beautiful home on a very private lot with gorgeous views of the Catalina mountains! Very convenient location! The pool was outstanding! We didn’t want to leave!
This house was wonderful! Comfortably fit 3 couples, each with their own bathroom which is a must! The house was extremely clean and stocked with items I didn’t expect: pool towels, coffee filters, first aid kits, etc. The owner was very prompt in communications during our stay. The neighborhood was beautiful for a run or walk. I would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a place in Tucson!
Place was nicely decorated. Lots and lots of room. Beautiful views and great location. We loved our stay and would definitely come back again.

Property has some great outdoor features; lap pool, zen garden, shaded areas. The property needs a deep clean and better maintenance. Six hours prior to departing we were advised the dishwasher would not be available during our stay, with some excuses attached. I requested credit, and the manager never responded other to say he would "look into it". Despite a non-working dishwasher, there was no dish drying rack. Poor management. All the cupboards in kitchen were full of stuff, so we had to empty cupboards to store groceries. One of the cupboards could not be used because a light fixture was in the way of the cupboard door. The interior design was not good. There was little if any table top space in the bedrooms as the dressers and bed tables were cluttered with junk. I stashed the clutter in the closet (undersized) to create some table space. There was dog waste in the yard from a previous guest. The zen garden needs attention, and the prickly pear shrubs need to be trimmed from the front entry way! The area is very good....Catalina Foothills!
Fantastic property! Family of 5 with plenty of space. Very clean and wonderful amenities. Great location and the communication was quick and helpful throughout. Would certainly recommend.
I stayed here with colleagues for a business trip. The home is in a very quiet, safe neighborhood. The home is very comfortable with a beautiful backyard. Everything was super clean and the host was always responsive immediately. This would be a great place to stay for a large family or a couple of families, as there are multiple areas to eat and lounge, both indoors and out. Highly recommend!
This home was a dream come true for all of us. Incredibly beautiful and cozy home inside and out. It had everything we needed for a 6 night stay and several larger family gatherings we had to celebrate a special family event. The pool and hot tub were wonderfully warm and the surroundings heavenly. The management responded to all of our needs immediately when we messaged them. The kitchen was well stocked as were the linens for bed, bathrooms, and outdoor use. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of eating and sitting spaces for dining, conversation, and board games. We highly recommend this home and hope to rent it in the future.
We were in town for a family celebration and it was so nice to have this house as a home base. Our only wish is that we had more time to enjoy the pool and hot tub. It’s a lovely quiet setting with the most incredible views. Great location. We got to hike at Pima Canyon, only a 10 minute drive.
Beautiful updates in home with plenty of space for our group of 8 adults. Communication with host was prompt and responsive. Enjoyed the cool natural stone hot tub too. Our stay here was delightful!
Traveled to Tucson for a Memorial service. House provided a great place to relax between family commitments. Great layout and amenities. Issues with hot tub, management quickly responded but unable to resolve during our short stay. Would definitely stay here on a return trip.
