Very smooth process and lovely home. Exactly as pictured and very clean. There was an annoying neighbors dog that would bark with any sound made while outside. We would definitely reserve again.
The cleanliness and loving energy in this home was perfect for our ladies retreat. It is a wonderful 5 bedroom home that easily sleeps 9-10 people comfortably. The little details of the soap, shampoo, new kitchen sponge, coffee selection, and extra supplies for a comfortable stay has been considered. We will definitely stay again!

Thank you for the great review. You were an awesome guest and thank you for letting us be your host. Hope to have you back the next time you‘re in town. Thanks again!
We absolutely loved our stay at Desert Blooms! The home was beautiful, incredibly clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay in Tucson. The location near the Catalina Foothills was quiet, peaceful, and perfect, while being convenient to everything we wanted to do.The outdoor space was definitely a highlight! The pool was wonderful, and we really enjoyed having such a beautiful, private space to relax after spending our days exploring Tucson. The house itself was spacious, beautifully maintained, and very comfortable for our group. It truly felt like a home away from home.The hosts clearly put a lot of thought into making sure guests have a great experience, and it showed throughout the property. Everything was exactly as described, if not better in person! We would absolutely stay at Desert Blooms again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Tucson/Catalina Foothills area. Five stars all around!

Thank you for being an awesome guest. We look forward to being your host again the next time you are in town. Thank you again and we will see you soon.
I stayed here with my son following his surgery (student at U of A) and it met all of our needs and then some. The hosts are gracious, great communicators, and it was a perfect place to stay quiet, recover, and feel "at home" away from home.

Stephanie was a great guest. She followed all of our house rules and kept the house in great condition. We would highly recommend Stephanie to other hosts, and we look forward to being her host again the next time she’s in town.
We had an amazing stay! Descriptions and pics were very accurate and the house was so clean and charming. They even provided a high chair and baby gate for our son. Had several kids tableware and toys too. Such a lovely touch, which made our stay so enjoyable. The pool and spa were great (well used!) and overall, the layout and amenities in the home were perfect for our family. Less than 5 minutes from grocery stores, walgreens and starbucks. The host was really nice, and communicative. They sent a detailed welcome book in advance, which helped us plan, and were available throughout the stay with any questions we had. Highly recommend this home if you're staying in the Tucson area!

Thank you, Ashleigh! Thank you so much for your wonderful review—we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed your stay, and we’re really glad everything met your expectations.
You were an absolute pleasure to host, and we’d be more than happy to welcome you back anytime.
Thanks again, and safe travels!
We were four adults each needing a bedroom. There was more than enough space! The large floor plan offers a lot of flexibility whether you are traveling w/ adults/small children. All the baths are new; chef's kitchen with Island was well equipped; spacious family rm loft-style family rm on 2nd floor too! Tuananh is an exceptional host! This house had eveything more. Kitchen, baths, bedrooms & laundry were stocked with everything! If you do need something, you are a stone's throw from all shopping & amenities. Safe gated community! We had a great experience thanks toTuananh!
