Our tennis group enjoyed our stay at Desert Winds, name of this house, very much. The views of the city lights and the stars at night were spectacular! The home is very spacious. The house was tastefully decorated and provided everything you could need or want. We especially enjoyed the pool and the spa. Great place to sit on a patio or in the spa to contemplate life! Very quiet neighborhood and the cacti outside each house made the neighborhood looks artistic. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again if I ever go back to Tucson.

As a property manager I find that I hold all properties to the most highest standard. Rarely do I find a place that meets these requirements. Not only was this house warm and inviting it was well worth every penny to sit outside at sunset sipping on an eveing drink while watching the sunset. I would suggest this house for anyone with a family or just the gals. It was perfect

We visited family in Tucson in October. We could not be happier with our decision to rent this home. The view is wonderful and my family enjoyed the layout of the home very much. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessary amenities but we were nicely surprised of all the extras. We loved the decor and the comfortable atmosphere. The owners were very organized and I appreciated a well kept property. When we left, we took extra care to ensure that the next group, would have as good a time as we did. If we should ever visit Tucson again, we will definitely stay here again.

Our family stayed in this great house for 3 nights the end of May, 2011. There was plenty of room for 6 adults, 4 children. We had a hard time keeping the children out of the pool and hot tub--their favorite thing. The adults enjoyed the patio, pool, and hot tub. The best was the view. One word: Awesome! At night you could see the lights of the city with the mountains behind and the stars were amazing. The kitchen was supplied very well with all the gadgets, etc. We had a great BBQ one night. The only recommendation would be to have more towels available and maybe a few more beach towels for the pool. The stores are close so you can run for whatever you might need in the way of supplies. The owners had a restaurant referral book for those that want to try Tucson's eateries. All in all we would rent again and highly recommend Desert Winds to all!!
Owner response:We hope you'll come back again

We had a group of seven golfers in Tucson for a week and thoroughly enjoyed staying in this home. The location is excellent, close to I-10, and the amenities of the house are superb. We especially enjoyed sitting around the pool and spa in the evening, enjoying our favorite beverages and watching the setting sun on the Santa Catalinas. As the ultimate recommendation, immediately after we returned home we reserved this home for the same week in 2012.
Owner response:Thanks guys- the house is close to lots of Golfing and your picked the perfect time of the year to visit

My wife and I rented this vacation home and were extremely happy with everything. The pool is simply wonderful!!! It is very private and overlooks the Tucson mountains and city. There is an amazing view both day and night. The house was also very nice - it was far more space than the two of us needed, but we enjoyed all the amenities and comfort it had to offer. It was good to have a full kitchen that had everything you could want, the bed was extremely comfortable (although I wish the master bedroom had blackout curtains because we like to sleep late), and the entertainment center was great. We also enjoyed lots of the local restaurants (I recommend Athens Greek Restaurant - it was simply amazing), shopped at Bookman's and found all sorts of inexpensive used books, and also went to see a fun show that was a spoof of Star Wars at the Gaslight Theater. All of this made our vacation really fun! After this experience, I don't think I'm every going to stay in a hotel or resort again. This house sold me on the vacation rental experience. The owner was easy to work with and extremely professional, the price was reasonable, and the house ended up being even more than I expected. The next time we stay in Tucson, we will be sure to try to book this place again!
Owner response:Thank you for your thoughtful compliments. We're so happy you enjoyed your stay in the beautiful, peaceful Sonoran Desert. Please come back again soon.

Our family spent a week at this lovely home in Tucson. Eveyone thought it was perfect for our visit. It is very well furnished and provides for almost every need - weather was great. We hope to return in the future when the pool water is a bit warmer.
