Spacious Old World Charm

This is a lovely property and has a happy vibe! It's an older house but full of charm and quite spacious compared to most of the newer homes. The patio area is lush and delightful, and the pool is an added bonus. We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is quiet, calming and we hope to return again. Una casa muy especial! The owner is very accommodating and easy to contact.

Casita Mamani

I have stayed here many times with family in the past, this trip was with 3 of my friends. It was the perfect home base for us and we truly enjoyed our stay! Perfect location and convenient for all our activities (hiking, shopping, dinner etc). But we truly delighted in our “at home time”! We lounged in the pool, enjoyed sunrises with coffee outside and had our happy hour cocktails and charcuterie boards on the patio while watching the sunset (when the mountains turn pink it’s time to drink). The chiminea was great for outdoor fires to take the evening chill off in January. We played some of the board games, including the Mexican bingo. We utilized the kitchen daily. One of my friends was a chef so we had a fabulous brunch on Sunday and she was able to create/cook with all the necessities (pans, spices, etc). The patio provides a great viewing area for star gazing at night. We were 4 women and had more then enough space for sleeping and getting ready. We loved the local charm of the house and will be booking it again. Raquel was a great host.

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.

Good Vacation Value

The three bedroom, two bath house has all you need for a small group or family, including a heated pool and proximity to Tubac. While the prooperty is certainly not new, it is well kept up and very comfortable. You will enjoy the interior Mexican decor. The owner, Raquel, is easy to reach by phone and very responsive should you have requests. A very good value. March of 2025 has been our third annual stay at this property and we will definitely be back again next year. Highly recommended.

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.

Just Like The Home That it Is

Many VRBOS's are stripped down, overly sanitized and feels like your staying in some money-making property. Here I felt like our cool Aunt let us crash at her place. It wasn't fancy but very home-y. It wasn't under decorated, but full of desert and Mexican themed art and trinkets. We loved it, and the pool was very welcoming as the day heated up. We've stayed at casitas a little further from the highway and it had been quieter but the back of the house, where you really hang out, is not bad.... Kind of like white noise in the background. We used the chiminea one night and we cooked in the well appointed kitchen two nights. All in all we had a lovely visit and would stay there again.

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.
