Map & Owner's Profile
Home/10 Acres, Private Tennis Court, Great Mtn. Views, Nature!
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
We are at the base of the Tortolita Mountains on the far Northwest side of Tucson. New shopping centers are being built minutes from us, but our only views, from high on a plateau, are of the Catalina & Tortolita Mountains, plus the gorgeous saguaro forest(cactus giants of our special Sonoran desert).
The Unique Benefits at this House
Because our property is on 10 acres and there are not many homes in our area, we get a tremendous amount of birds/wildlife. Javelina(pecaries), bobcats, fox, deer, jackrabbits, rock, roundtail and the antelope squirrels, coyote, roadrunners, and more....you may see gambel quail with their babies, or the flowering cacti if you are here at the right time of year. Our winter weather is savored by everyone, worldwide and our spring and fall seasons are fabulous. contact us with any questions you may have. We are very friendly and easy to talk to.
Owner's Map of Private Homes
Casita Del Sol was built on our 10 acres, with it's garage and our home's garage facing each other for maximum privacy. Each home is on at least 5 acres. Larry & Claire Klingler are the owners and are in our mid 60's. We love to travel around the world and also meet new people here at home. We hope you will come see us soon. We have a very unique setting, and private security gate(you will be given a remote for the gate and the garage).

Absolutely loved our stay!!

We really enjoyed staying at La Casita. The house was super-cute & spotless, the owners thoughtfully provided all sorts of extras (ie, enough paper products for our stay), and the grounds were stunning. We enjoyed that we could just go outside and enjoy the yard, tennis court and surrounding desert... just steps outside our front door. This location is a little far out of town, which affords privacy and desert beauty that you cannot find in Central Tucson- but also conveniently located because it was so easy to get anywhere we wanted to go. Claire and Larry were very kind and hospitable- undoubtedly above and beyond, which just made our stay even more enjoyable. Thank you, Claire and Larry, for sharing this wonderful home with travelers and providing such a fantastic experience! :)
Owner response:It's always nice to hear good things about Casita Del Sol and how happy a guest was to have stayed here. Leasa, her mom and kids seemed to let nothing stand in the way of a really terrific vacation as they took in a different site daily. We're looking forward to seeing them again and hope if you haven't been here, we'll hope for the same fabulous time for you and yours.....Claire & Larry

We have stayed at the Casita for a week three different times. We chose it the first time because we wanted something a bit more remote than the "other" Tucson rentals - like the one we stayed in the previous year. Now we're spoiled, staying in Tucson means staying in the Casita. Sitting on the porch with a glass of wine at sunset, the evening cool creeps in to enhance the beauty of the sky. The sun sets, silhouetting the cacti and other flora, and the serenity of the night arrives. A glass of wine doesn't get any better. The house is comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen, satellite TV and internet. It has a double garage with plenty of space to load and unload cars. There is now a shopping center with a supermarket that has everything you might need - less than a mile away.

My husband and I are seasoned travelers, and have had the good fortune to stay at Casita Del Sol for multiple winter get-aways. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and well taken care of, with all conveniences for a lovely, relaxed vacation. The location is simply amazing, amid acres of gorgeous desert scenery, and with views of the surrounding mountains. The hosts, who live nearby, are extremely hospitable and helpful. We can't rate this property highly enough!
Owner response:Thank you to our wonderful guests for all the compliments.....we enjoy you all so very much! Your happiness is our happiness. We wish all of you the most wonderful vacation you can have at Casita Del Sol....our little sunshine house! Claire & Larry Klingler

What a wonderful time we had at this casita! Larry and Claire were such gracious hosts. They made sure we knew about all the good restaurants in the area, and informed us about the "wildlife" near the casita. The pictures on the site don't do it justice--the house is much nicer in person. Very clean, and nicely decorated; the views are incredible....we truly enjoyed waking up to the mountain views. We highly recommend the Sunshine House to anyone visiting the Tucson area. We hope to stay again when we visit Tucson--it was a real treat!!! The Joneses
Owner response:Casita Del Sol is a very special place! The views, wildlife, privacy, security are non-surpassed. It's always cleanliness at the top of the list also. Come see the special wildlife, and everything a truly wonderful vacation experience brings...come to Casita Del Sol. We'd love to have you. We've never had a guest who wasn't 'special' to us. If you think we've used that word..."special" a lot, it's because it's the perfect word for our little Sunshine House, Casita Del Sol..Come and see for yourselves! Claire & Larry
