The Desert Getaway is a peaceful retreat in the heart of Tucson. The one-bedroom, one-bath house shares the private, fenced courtyard with one other structure: a second one-bedroom, one-bath home. The space is best suited for couples or small groups, but can accommodate up to 4 guests. There is no door between the bedroom and the living room, so the lack of privacy may not be ideal for groups.
The home is crafted in the classic desert style and boasts a lovely queen-size bed, sleeper sofa, and full kitchen. Additional amenities include air conditioning and heating, high-speed wireless internet (100mbps download), a wireless-capable flat-screen TV (stream with your Netflix account), a coffee maker, a microwave, and a gas BBQ.
The space is well-equipped. Upon your arrival, you will find coffee, basic cooking supplies, seasonings, soaps, dishes, pots and pans, towels, a hair dryer, and an iron. We have tried to think of everything, but if you find you are missing something, please ask, and we will do our best to provide it!
The property is a surprising oasis right in the middle of Tucson. Located in the Hendrick Acres neighborhood, a convenient midtown area that is close to everything -- just off the Mountain Avenue bike path, 2 miles north of the University of Arizona, and 3.5 miles northeast of downtown Tucson.
The property is within 2 miles of great restaurants, bars, grocery stores, cinemas, shopping, and parks. You will love the serenity, the classic charm, and the convenience.
During your stay, you will access the home through the gated entrance in the courtyard. A covered carport is available to protect your vehicle from the Tucson sun.
