Rhonda, our host was wonderful. She responded quickly on answering questions and had great ideas on restaurants and things to do in the area. She also left us something special in the refrigerator for us to snack on when we arrived. Using the pool in the evening was a treat and a great way to cool off. She had plenty of noodles, lotion and towels to use. It was nice to park vehicle in the garage and we had a remote for that. Backyard was really peaceful and loved the plants and flowers throughout. The house was in a nice quiet neighborhood and we felt safe going out for a walk one evening. House is close to a Walmart and many restaurants/fast food places.

Great older property. This property has everything you need and then some. The pool was amazing and clean. The beds were just okay and the property could use some minor updating but all in all it was excellent for the price . The backyard was an amazing oasis! We spent hours outside by the pool and in the backyard. It was close to whatever you need and in a fairly quiet neighborhood.

This property is absolutely beautiful! It is spacious and so welcoming. The host was amazing and thoughtful, from pre-arrival to post-check-out. The heat wave allowed for multiple days in the pristine pool, with a well-thought-out layout of outdoor seating and lounging. The house was immaculately clean and roomy, while being well-stocked with extra essentials. My family of five had such a wonderful time here. Recommend 10/10!

This really was a private oasis! We spent many hours simply relaxing in both the spacious, well-appointed house and the beautiful back yard. Rita Ranch seems a world apart from Tucson proper, but we quickly learned our way around and managed to take in the bigger part of the cit y as well. Rhonda is a friendly, welcoming hostess who checked in with us several times to see everything was going well or if we needed anything. We would highly recommend this family and dog-friendly home. It’s both spacious and very comfortable. A real home away from home.

This was our first time visiting Tucson and the property was ideal for our stay. The pool was amazing since it was so hot and was nice to enjoy after touring Tucson everyday while we were there. The owner communicated very well throughout our stay and even called before we came to see if we needed anything in particular which was very nice! We loved staying here and would love to come back to stay again. The house was very beautiful and had everything plus some that we needed.
