My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the Golfing Gecko. The place is amazing, the setting is beautiful, and the desert scenery is amazing. And we got to see a blossom open on one of the cactuses in the backyard! What a great treat! We Hope to be able to stay here on future visits to the area!

Rick was very helpful and got us in last minute. We had excellent communication from the beginning. Directions, explanation on how to get in, and use of the property was all extremely clear from the beginning. The house was well stocked, very clean, and the property owner was more than generous in allowing the use of most things in the home. It was well maintained, clean, quiet, well priced. I would stay there if I found myself in the Tucson area again and would recommend anybody who needs a place to stay to book the home. I would give six stars if I could.
