Tucson Retreat

Melinda’s property was fantastic! Our family loved it (includes a 16 and 22 yr old). So private, a quiet neighbourhood, and nature on the doorstep! The house was beautifully appointed, everything we could need. The location makes it easy to get around. Melinda answered any questions quickly and was attentive. We already miss it!

Oasis in Ora Valley

This property is absolutely perfect. The neighborhood is quite, safe and great for your dog walking. The entry way is inviting with a water feature. When you enter you are immediately impressed with the decor, furniture and overall warmth. The kitchen is extremely useable and has about everything you need to chef it up. Great options for coffee drinkers as well. The garage is been turned into a game room. The bedrooms were very nicely decorated and the beds are comfy and warm as well. The backyard is 2 levels with a hot tub/waterfall overlooking the pool and out to the desert. The hosts were extremely responsive and have really thought of everything, from labeling to having everything you need to experience a spa vacation in a beautiful area of Tucson. Can't wait to go back soon

About the host

Hosted by Melinda Carreon

Host profile image
My husband and I have been married for 25 years and are proud parents to three incredible sons. Although we were both raised in California, we discovered our love for Arizona during one of our vacations. It has since become one of our favorite places to visit.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect mix of peace and convenience. We love how quiet and safe it feels-ideal for relaxing days by the pool. One of our favorite things is the peek-a-boo views of the Catalina Foothills-a beautiful reminder of the desert landscape that surrounds us. The community is warm and welcoming. At the same time, it's just a short drive to great dining, shopping, and everything Tucson has to offer. Some of the best hiking trails in the area are close by, which makes it easy to enjoy the beauty of the Sonoran Desert. We also enjoy the quick drive into downtown Tucson for events, culture and entertainment. It's the best of both worlds-peaceful retreat with easy access to adventure

What makes this property unique

Our property caters perfectly to snowbirds and families seeking comfort, convenience, and fun in the sun. Located in a peaceful neighborhood, our home features a private pool, bubbling hot tub, outdoor fire pit and sauna. There is also a putting green-a guest favorite for golfers and families! For snowbirds it's a relaxing retreat with warm weather, cozy fireplace, smart TV's, and a fully stocked kitchen. Families love the spacious layout, outdoor dining area with a BBQ and mini-fridge. Access to the Saguaro National parks and plenty of hiking trails. Plus, world class golf courses just minutes away, and the University of Arizona only 18 minutes down the road, you'll have the best of Oro Valley and Tucson right at your fingertips.
