Another great stay. We enjoyed the updates and refresh of the house since our last stay. Four women comfortably stayed this trip. We utilized all spaces, kitchen, patio, pool, living area, all the while taking in the lovely views. It’s a great home base for venturing out for wine tastings, mine tours, cavern tours, spa days and of course shopping and restaurants nearby. Highly recommend for living like a local in Tubac.

Top notch property

If you want privacy and a pool, within walking distance of a golf resort, this is the place. Mountain views and dark skies at night are a plus. Amazing shops nearby; The home was stocked with everything we needed and the host was very responsive to my queries. Loved every minute of our stay.

Perfect for our Nogales High reunion weekend at the Tubac Resort. The house was spacious, well maintained, comfortable, had everything we needed and was beautifully decorated. The pool was great and its fountain so soothing while we enjoyed the spectacular view and outdoor spaces in the back yard. The only downside was the mosquitos were out in force (fortunately we had packed repellent). The kitchen was large and had all the stuff we needed to cook & serve great meals. Definitely would recommend for anyone who needs a place in the Tubac/Tumacacori/Nogales area.

About the host

Hosted by Raquel

Host profile image
My name is Raquel, I live in Phoenix AZ. I was born and raised in Nogales, Arizona graduated from Nogales High School and the University of Arizona. I was a Special Education Teacher for 12 years.

Why they chose this property

Having grown up in Nogales, I have a special love for the Southwest. After I graduated from college and met my husband we moved around to different parts of the US, but I always longed to return to the desert. In 2005 we moved back to Phoenix where I could be closer to friends and family. Because we found ourselves traveling down south so often to enjoy the beauty and cooler weather of Southern Arizona my husband and I decided to buy a home that we could enjoy with our family and friends.

What makes this property unique

You can have privacy and convenience in one property. Nestled up against the desert you have a perfect view of the mountains and the beautiful landscape. Just around the corner from Tubac Golf Resort. Also right down the road from the quaint Tubac village. Enjoy hiking, biking birdwatching and sightseeing all conveniently located.
