About this property
Boho desert ranch with private pool, 1M to pickleball
Soak up some sunshine on the patio, pick fresh grapefruit in the backyard and cool off in our sparkling pool! This comfy bohemian ranch has vaulted ceilings, lots of windows and charming vintage decor. Bathed in natural light, the breezy living room opens onto a new pool, gorgeous mountain views and a large patio with string lights and lanterns. Plus a private courtyard + garage in front. The house is outfitted with amenities guests love: plush beds, quality linens, a fully-stocked kitchen, comfortable seating, cool art, books, board games, work space and reading lamps .
Paloma Palms has a thoughtful mix of old and new, bringing character and charm to this well-appointed home. Enjoy discovering thrifted finds from around the southwest, including vintage glassware, handcrafted art, beautiful textiles and quirky souvenirs. We wanted to create a space that is unfussy, inspiring and comfortable so you can enjoy, relax and make the most of your time with family and friends in Tucson. A/C and ceiling fans in every room.
Note: We don't allow large parties but we do permit small gatherings of family and friends as long as you commit to cleaning up and treating the house with care.

The area:
Centrally located on the east side just a short drive to downtown, the house is situated in an attractive residential neighborhood on a cul de sac street. It has easy access to main commercial areas along Tanque Verde, Speedway and Broadway, where you’ll find convenient local restaurants, stores, groceries and various services. It is a 1-mile walk to the massive Udall Park, with 12 outdoor public pickleball courts (we provide a set of 4 paddles and balls for guest use), playing fields and a large swimming pool. Nearby recreation areas Sabino Canyon, Saguaro National Park East and the 50-mile Loop cycling/pedestrian path are a short drive.

About the host
Hosted by Christina Melander
I was born and raised in New Hampshire, save for a 2-year stint in England, attended college in Maryland and have lived and worked in Portland, Oregon for more than two decades. I love making guests feel inspired and relaxed at our two beautiful and very different short-term rentals in Keene, NH and Tucson, AZ. Extensive travel and a passion for design have helped me create homes that are comfortable, distinctive and full of extras guests love. I enjoy messaging with guests and doing whatever possible to ensure they have a fantastic stay. I'm team cat, an avid tennis player and always on the hunt for unusual treasures at thrift stores and estate sales.
Why they chose this property
I love this neighborhood because it's convenient to hiking, shopping, parks and restaurants. It's tucked away on a quiet cul de sac but very close to major streets to easily access other parts of town. The neighbors are chill, the mountain views are stunning and you can walk over to Udall Park, which has 12 pickleball courts and a farmer's market on Fridays.
What makes this property unique
It's a cool ranch design with vaulted ceilings and asymmetrical clerestory windows. Great exposed brick walls and a really sweet brick courtyard in front. The layout of the central living space makes it great for hanging out while the sleeping wing offers privacy. Plenty of space and wonderful natural light.
