Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2009
We're both a few years away from retirement, but we're the type of people who like to plan ahead, so we bought our retreat in Sun City Vistoso and will share its beauty with others until we can live there year round. When we can't get away to Tucson, we enjoy cruising in the Caribbean and traveling around the U.S. too. Barbara grows roses in Wisconsin and can't wait to see what kinds of roses she can grow in the Sonoran desert. Tom likes to get outside and walk, hike, or bike and will really enjoy those activities year round instead of a few months a year!
Why the Owner Chose Oro Valley
We absolutely love Sun City Vistoso and can't stop telling everyone how lucky we are to have purchased this home for our retirement in a few years. We like walking through our well maintained community and meeting so many friendly people, and we especially like knowing that Sun City Vistoso offers a wide variety of activities to enjoy. The views are gorgeous and the weather is perfect almost year-round. We think this is the perfect place to live, whether it's for a month or a lifetime!
The Unique Benefits of this House
We enjoy reading the morning paper in our front courtyard which boasts excellent views of "our" magnificent Catalina Mountains. It's always fun to share dinner in our beautifully landscaped backyard with interesting people who are so easy to meet in Sun City. With all the clubs and events in our community there is never a dull moment, unless we choose to just relax together. We're confident that all our guests will love their time here too!

Tucson is a great place to visit with activities to suit anyone. The house is located in a very nice scenic area. This rental is all that it advertises & more. The photo album (42 pictures) certainly shows what is there & when you see it in real time, it is even better. It certainly would be a place to return to. Happy Renters for 6 weeks. Gary & Ingrid
Owner response:Thanks for the nice review! It was terrific that you had an opportunity to golf at The Views in Sun City Vistoso several times, as well as many of the other area golf courses. We look forward to having you back in Arizona real soon!

We had a wonderful time staying in this Oro Valley home. It was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the front patio in the morning looking at the beautiful mountain views as we had our coffee. The back yard was landscaped with lovely trees and cactus. It was a great place to relax after a busy day. We loved that the house was so close to all the recreational activities of Sun City. We especially enjoyed the beautiful golf course with the spectacular mountain views and the 2 swimming pools, also with great views of the mountains. The neighbors were terrific! They were all so friendly, helpful and welcoming. I highly recommend staying in this home during your stay in Oro Valley. You will not be disappointed. We came to Oro Valley looking for a retirement home. If we hadn't bought our own home in Sun City, we would be renting this home again next summer!
Owner response:Thank you, Kathy and George, and welcome to our wonderful community. We are looking forward to meeting you in person!

We really enjoyed renting this home for our get-away. The Owners have thought of everything. It was graciously decorated, clean and well-cared for and we would definitely chose to rent from them again. The location was quiet and relaxing, but close enough to restaurants and things to do. Great change of pace from the typical hotel environment. Give it a try. You will be glad you did!
Owner response:Thank you for your kind words. We're so glad you were able to enjoy Sun City during your stay, as well as many of the nearby restaurants. We look forward to having you stay at our home again on your next house-hunting trip!

This is a wonderful rental. The owners have thought of everything to make you comfortable. We truly enjoyed our month and would have stayed another if the house was available. It is well situated for access to all Sun City activities. We loved going into Tucson to St. Philips Plaza for dinner or lunch and the Farmers Market on Sundays. The performing arts center in Tucson and its surrounding shops and restaurants was always a treat. Catalina State Park is closeby as are many other outdoor opportunities.
Owner response:We are so happy that a stay in our vacation home motivated this couple to buy their own home in our wonderful community. We think Sun City Vistoso is a really special place and we're pretty sure all of our tenants think so too!

I felt right at home from the first time I stepped in to this property. The decor was simple, tasteful and comfortable. I never tired of looking at the artwork. What a fabulous view of the Catalinas could be seen the front patio and bedroom. Cooking in the bright, cheerful kitchen was a pleasure. The pool and community center were close by. The friendly neighbors next door were an added bonus. There were plenty of books, movies and informative material about the area to read. It was my first time in Tucson and it was great! I would recommend this to anyone.
Owner response:Thanks so much for your nice comments. We look forward to having you stay at our home again!
