Family vacation

In Tucson for our son’s college baseball spring training games and this home was a perfect home away from home. It was nice to have space to hang out with our son during his free time before he had to go back to his hotel each night and the location was close to various tourist attractions. We visited the Pima Air & Space museum and Saguaro National Park. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Rhonda is a great host! We definitely would stay again!

Highly recommended!

The house was very comfortable and the host, Rhonda, was so very sweet and welcoming. She ran to the grocery store and bought us milk and cereal for our kids since we were getting in late and they needed them for the morning.

Great place

This property was very nice. The outside area (backyard) was beautiful and I wish the weather had been such that we could have spent more time out there. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen very convenient. Communication with the owner was excellent. House was cute. It was convenient to Route 10 and stores and Saguaro National Park. Overall, a wonderful place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Rhonda Berdan

Rhonda is from New England and Scott is from the Detroit area. We have 3 adult children: A son in the USCG stationed in SC; a son who is a chef in Salem, MA; and a daughter attending college in AZ. Rhonda's mom has retired in nearby Vail, AZ and is a huge part of our Tucson lives. Now we want to share our good fortune and offer our home to you! If you have any questions or concerns while visiting, we will be nearby to offer local advice or attend to your household's needs.

Why they chose this property

After raising our children on a 1 acre property, we decided to downsize. We have many friends who live or have lived in this wonderfully planned community and fell in love with the spacious rooms and floor plan, 100 percent tile flooring, 40 foot long North facing covered patio to start and end the day, corner lot adding room for landscaping and additional guest parking, and a private 9 foot deep pool with diving board to cool off any time we feel like it. SOLD!
Groceries, restaurants, churches, pizza deliveries, hair and nail salons, and basically all of the shopping options you would expect in a planned community are blocks away. Our most recent addition is a Dunkin' Donuts and a brand new Walmart located just 2 miles from the house.
