Thank you so much, Sarah! 😊
We’re so glad you loved the details throughout the property — a lot of care went into creating an inviting, thoughtfully designed, and well-appointed home for our guests to enjoy.
Thanks again for staying with us at The El Jay. We’d love to host you again anytime you’re back in Tucson!
We had a wonderful stay! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described.The property is conveniently located near several grocery stores and great restaurants. It was immaculately clean and well-stocked with everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen and a much-appreciated washer and dryer. The reverse osmosis drinking water system was a fantastic bonus. We also found the beds very comfortable and the bathrooms well-stocked with pristine towels, and thoughtful amenties.The hosts were kind and responsive, and communication was excellent. We felt very welcome and would not hesitate to stay here again. We highly recommend this location to others.
Best vacation rental property we've ever experienced. They truly thought of just about everything. GREAT communication from pre-check in through check-out. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN with every little detail for kitchen and bathroom thought out. The backyard pool area was the BEST. Sun whenever you wanted it and shade whenever you needed it. Even in very hot weather, the backyard covered eating area was shaded and even cool at all times. GREAT large TV, well-appointed kitchen with all the necessary utensils and small things that sometimes other properties don't provide. Bathrooms were beautiful and even provided things like flossers, q-tips, fingernail cutters, razors-- this rental made us feel like we had somehow ended up as the only customers at a luxury resort in Paradise. On the first day, I asked about some pool floaties and the host did a SAME-DAY Amazon delivery of two PERFECT pool floaties for my wife and I. I will close with saying (again) that the hosts really thought of everything--- they nailed it. This was the kind of rental that makes me want to see if the owner has other properties and just rent from them every time I go on vacation. There was ZERO stress staying at the El Jay. THANK YOU for a wonderful experience.

Why they chose this property
4465 E. La Jolla Circle is nestled in a quiet Tucson desert neighborhood where wide-open skies, mountain views, and peaceful streets set the tone. You’ll find classic Sonoran desert landscaping, mature saguaros, and glowing sunset skies that make evenings feel extra special.
What we enjoy most is the calm, residential feel paired with convenience. It’s private and serene — perfect for relaxing — yet still just a short drive to dining, hiking, and everything Tucson has to offer. Mornings are bright and quiet, and nights are still, spacious, and beautifully desert-charming.
What makes this property unique
Our home stands out as a stylish, designer-updated desert retreat with a private pool oasis you won’t find in most Tucson rentals. Fully remodeled with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and modern finishes, it blends relaxed comfort with thoughtful design throughout. The backyard is a highlight — lounge by the exclusive pool and shaded ramada, or step out to a nearby neighborhood park right from the gate. With dedicated workspaces, fast Wi-Fi, and plenty of indoor-outdoor space, it’s perfect for families, groups, or longer stays. Plus, its central location makes exploring Tucson really easy while still feeling peaceful and private.
