From the moment we opened the door, we felt as though we were at home! The host had thought of every detail from stocking the house with all that one needs, to decorating with extraordinary care both in design and comfort. Our communication before and during our stay was quick and helpful. During our 5-week stay the house and grounds were regularly maintained. We had a wonderful time and can’t thank our host enough for providing such a beautiful home for our “home away” stay. We hope to be back!

Absolutely Excellent Property!

I have stayed at a lot of rentals and VRBOs, but this was one of the best ever. Not only was the host great with communication; the property itself was very clean, well appointed, and overall super welcoming to our stay. To make it even better, the view was just amazing. Definitely recommend for your stay in Tucson!

Absolutely lovely home in a great area of Tucson. The views are jaw dropping. The house looks just like the photos. Property manager was easy to contact and super responsive. Backyard is completely fenced in, for those with dogs. Basically, it was an ideal rental house. We had a wonderful time here and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Beautiful and well stocked home with incredible views! We enjoyed lots of outside pool time and amazing sunsets every evening. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the host was very quick to respond to questions. The neighborhood feels secluded and is very quiet but still close to all the amenities. Would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

It was wonderful to be back at the house again. This was our second stay and we loved it just as much as the first. This house is just so lovely - all of it. The grounds show what a beautiful desert landscape can look like. You have fabulous views of the mountains from the pool and from the front of the house you see spectacular sunsets every evening. The owner has put so much love into this house that you can feel it. The location is so peaceful. We highly recommend staying here any chance you get!

What a fabulous home! It was beautifully decorated, lots of space and a gorgeous pool in the back. With five of us on the trip, we had plenty of rooms and beds for everyone.

We came here from the Northeast for a quick winter getaway. The property is amazing! You have panoramic views of the Catalina Mountains, and at night you can see all the Tucson city lights. We loved the heated pool. There are great local options for hikes and excellent dining close by. We can't wait to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Leticia Lopez

Host profile image
Due to a disability I stopped working as a full-time arts administrator/social worker/artist about 11 years ago and through late night surfing I acquired a growing obsession with real estate and the idea of vacation rentals! I purchased this house in Tucson because I spent my lovely early childhood here. Tucson is the ancestral home of my imagination.

Why they chose this property

What's not to love about the Catalina Foothills and the extraordinary views!? I've experienced blood/sweat/tears, spent lots of money, and have had great fun since buying what was a fixer-upper in 2017. I love all aspects of the vacation rental industry, including designing spaces and decor. For this house I determined I needed a theme and latched into Global Adventures. Each room has a different continent's influence: Asia, Europe, Africa and North America bedrooms; a South American Den; Australia and Antarctica are bathrooms and lastly, a bathroom that's the “Center of the Universe": New York City, of course!

What makes this property unique

I'm besotted with this house: the views, and places to sit and enjoy them, the great light, the elegant yet very comfortable rooms, the extra large pool, the huge kitchen with new appliances, multiple dining areas and both places to congregate and also to hide out. LOTS of art, And a global theme which is understated (not kitschy!) yet provides a lot of visual candy (and maps!)
