I had a wonderful experience at Desert Hideaway!This property is not only clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable, but the location is perfect. It is located near the gorgeous Catalina Mountains, yet you are walking distance to La Encantada’s shopping, restaurants and grocery store. I loved watching the sunset off the balcony every night. Gorgeous! It is also directly across from the swimming pool and hot tub, which was so convenient!Brady and Christy are wonderful hosts and very responsive to any questions you might have. Checking in and out was easy and instructions for everything else were clear. I definitely hope to stay again when in Tucson!

Would not hesitate to rent again if the need arises. Condo and its location are great.

Hosts were very attentive to any questions I had. Beds/pillows were fantastic. Only frustration was our not understanding TV setup instructions (we're not spring chickens). Would not hesitate to stay again

My sister and I stayed at this condo from June 4 - 10, 2025. We were pleased with many things. The location was great (we rented a car during our stay). The condo itself was very nice with nice furnishings. The beds were very comfortable. We sat on the balcony and enjoyed wonderful views at all times of the day. The water pressure was great in the shower. The pool was conveniently located just across the street. The condo had things in the kitchen for our use whether eating breakfast or cooking dinner. The entry key lock was easy to use. The host was easy to communicate with. We will definitely consider staying here again if we should make another trip to Tucson.

Wonderful experience! We'll definitely book again.

So many great things to say about this property! We've stayed in many VRBOs and this one is definitely in our top 3. Everything was wonderful, from the location (close to shops & restaurants, yet so quiet and peaceful) to the cleanliness of the property. It's tastefully decorated. The convenience and proximity to the pool was great. Typically, when you think of being by the pool, you think noisy, but not the case here. We loved being able to walk just across the parking lot to access it, and the condo provides pool towels for your use. We loved the balcony! We'd sit out there every morning and evening to watch the sky and the wildlife. Sunset watching with a cocktail was one of our favorite activities. As a birder, I especially loved the variety of species we saw just from the balcony. Right behind the property is a wash area with vegetation, so it was nice to see the wildlife pass by each day. Aside from many different birds, we also saw javelina, deer, and cottontail. Each encounter was exciting. The kitchen was clean and well-equipped. Starting the dishwasher was a bit of a trick (the door has to be solidly closed for it to start), but once we figured it out, it was fine. The bed pillows are amazing! We are picky pillow people, but we loved them so much that we ordered some so they'd be there when we returned home. Parking was also super convenient. The spot is right in front of the property. Communication with Brady and Christy was top-notch. We'll definitely return.

My Mom and I were in Tuscon for a short visit. This condo was centrally located to all of the sights we wanted to see as well as family that lives nearby. The condo was very clean, the owners were very responsive, and the whole check in and check out process was very smooth. We will plan on staying here again on our next trip!
