Terrific choice if you are staying in Tucson area
We've stayed in many VBRO homes over the years and this was by far the best experience overall.
We stayed for a week in March to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Alan the manager greeted us and gave us a tour of the home and explained how to use the hot-tub and other features. He also took the time to help us find good places to eat and some activities in the area. When we had a question he was quick to cheerfully respond.
The owner, Jeff made securing our reservation a snap. . . The transaction went very smooth for payment. The terms of our stay were clearly spelled out and there were no last minute surprises.
We wanted privacy in a romantic setting and that's exactly what we experienced. No one came by to bother us. The pool and hot-tub were big hits which we enjoyed daily.
We especially enjoyed sitting under the stars at night relaxing in a hot-tub without a care.
Some of the reviews said the decor was "dated", we didn't see it that way. It has every modern convenience so don't take 'rustic' to mean anything negative. In fact we felt it was charming and easy to feel at home right away. The personal touches around the home made it a far more comfortable 'welcomed guest' experience.
Shopping and fine dining were as close as 5 miles down the road - but you still felt as if you were on a private estate in the desert.
Sometimes it can be a risky choosing a home from VBRO. We've found many of them are managed by real estate companies. Some good but on the down side, many can be impersonal and at times they omit things you only find out after you've arrived. Here everything worked and was exactly as advertised.
It's a gem in the desert and we will be back. . .
Thank you Alan and Jeff for a wonderful experience!
Beautiful home, beautiful views, relaxing vacation
This home is situated in a quiet foothills neighborhood, yet minutes away from either hiking trails or tons of restaurants. We took advantage of the proximity to Gates Pass on the west side of Tucson to do some hiking, but found that Sabino Canyon was only a 30 minute drive, too! We appreciated all the amenities in the home, from the pool and spa to the soaps and toiletries provided in the kitchen and bathrooms! It was nice to step inside a lovely home, unpack and relax!
Quiet retreat
Pleasant stay. Outside area is nice. King bed was very comfy. Quiet area outside of the city but had a beautiful view at night of the city lights
Great views and scenery for relaxing by the pool.
The view and location, plus the character and southwestern architecture were wonderful. The inside, however, had lots of stairs, and was decorated with outdated Asian decor. The stairs and upper level were not vacuumed and lots of stains on the carpet. I asked for cleaners to come back, but they never showed. The best part was the outdoor pool and spa and lovely patio! But beware, the owner controls the heat and turned the spa heat completely off for one of the days. It was in the mid to high 80s when we stayed and I switched the thermostat to cool and 74. The owner questioned me on it. The price and additional pool heat fees and other fees were high. I would have expected less micromanagement when I'm vacationing.
Perfect Tucson House. Spacious, clean and charming.
Nice area, great view, wounderful poolarea and garden
Amazing property in a great location. Close to town and lots of attractions.
wonderful house, well equipped with great views. The Master bedroom is very comfortable, with a nice balcony for a romantic dinner. will definitely come back and rent it again.
