About this property
The Desert Vista Adobe with breathtaking views, pool & hot tub!
The Desert Vista Adobe is surrounded by gorgeous views and provides a spacious, peaceful, private sanctuary to gather with friends and family. This Mid-century modern is set among beautiful native desert landscaping and stunning city views. Stargaze in the atrium, warm up by the adobe brick fire place, soak in the Jacuzzi while taking in the city and mountain views, enjoy a new game room with family. We look forward to making your Tucson visit truly special.
Enjoy a private and spacious retreat in one of Tucson's most spectacular neighborhoods with the views and privacy to match! Our home is designs to sleep a group of eight, with interior and exterior spaces especially created to be warm, comfortable, welcoming and fun while focusing on indoor/outdoor entertainment so that guests can enjoy the beautiful weather Tucson is known for. Play all day in the private pool, and enjoy evening BBQs and the hot tub in the backyard with outdoor dining table to seat 8, comfortable lounge seating and string lights. Perfect for groups and families, we've designed this space with your relaxation and enjoyment in mind.
There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a living room, dining/sitting area, large outdoor atrium, Game/TV room and expansive outdoor patio area in this house. The home can easily accommodate groups of friends, couples, or families.
 
The Main Bedroom has a king bed with a private attached en-suite bathroom and sleeps 2.
 
Bedroom 2 has a queen bed for sleeping 2.
 
Bedroom 3 is perfect for kids/tweens with a queen bunk & twin trundle and sleeps 5.
 
Game Room (that does not have direct access into the house) has a queen bed that sleeps 2 as well as a blow up mattress that could sleep 2 adults if a little extra sleeping space is desired.
This house has so many fun places to gather! Come for what you need…relax, have fun, and make beautiful memories. The living room, dining area, atrium and outdoor patio have space for groups to hang out. A beautiful outdoor dining table seats 8, and enjoy other extra seating, a charcoal grill, and string lights to provide ample lighting.
 
This also provides direct access to the pool with plenty of seating and lounging possible for everyone.
 
*Our home is best suited for up to 6 adults and 4 children but could accommodate up to 13 people max (children/adults combined).
Other Spaces:
The Atrium- A truly special space. Enjoy a quiet coffee in the morning or an evening gathering- beautifully lit up at night creating a wonderful ambiance. The kids love this space... they feel worlds away but are actually right there!
The Game/Movie Room-Enjoy Foosball table, board games, watch movies while snacking on popcorn from the life size popcorn maker- order the deluxe candy set and we will have a candy bar set up for you upon arrival in this special space. It will be a fun hangout for kids and adults alike.
The Bar- If you are visiting Arizona- you can't leave without enjoying a few margaritas. We have a few restaurants we highly recommend... but for a night in with family and friends, this bar is the perfect place to serve up margaritas and enjoy the evening.
The Pool and Hot Tub- Lounging in this newly built space will truly spoil the soul. Giant saguaros surround and the unique desert landscape provides perfect privacy. The views are unforgettable and the atmosphere unmatchable. BBQ on the grill, lounge on the baja shelf and soak in the Arizona sun. Don't forget to pack your sunscreen- you are going to want to spend plenty of time by this stunning pool!
*There is an extra charge (between $40-60 a night if you chose to have the pool heated during your stay) There is no extra charge for heating the hot tub. For more details contact the host.

Hello,
My name is Sara. Originally from Tucson, I moved away for a time and lived in several different places including Hong Kong, Korea, China, Chile and Germany. After living around the world it is no surprise that I met and married someone from a different culture. Julian, my husband and co-host is from New Zealand.

Why they chose this property
After settling back in Tucson, after years of travel and living abroad, we found the Desert Vista Property and felt it would be a great spot for visitors to enjoy the desert, some amazing city and mountain views and find some relaxation. When we walked into the property we fell in love with the atrium and knew it could be a really unique space to enjoy Tucson's amazing weather, and we found a fun spot to add a unique bar that we adore. We added the game room to provide another space for people to just be together... and added the pool/patio area to make it a truly special place to be. A place  that guest could be in awe of the majestic saguaros which are abundant on and around this property.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with the idea of being able to provide a comfortable place to explore Tucson, but wanted to pair it with providing areas to gather and hang out that you just don't want to leave!  So we dove into adding a Game/Movie Room & Private Desert Oasis with Pool and Spa. We made it a place we knew we would want to be with family and friends and hope others find it just as enchanting.
