The backyard offers panoramic views of the Catalina mountains, which often turn pink at sunset - this is a phenomenon known as “alpenglow”. Dine al fresco, watch the game on the patio TV, enjoy a glass of wine by the fireside at the gas fire pit or lay on the pool loungers and count the stars. Immediately behind the house is the Honeybee Canyon and Biological Corridor Preserve (a birder's paradise!!) and a walking path, perfect for an afternoon stroll.

For the working traveler, we’ve installed a wifi extender so you can work outdoors while soaking up the desert sun and mountain views.

SPA/POOL: The spa is heated on-demand (heat 1-2 hours prior to use; heats at 25* per hour) and can be used year round. The saltwater pool can be heated for an additional daily fee of $75 from November - March and $55 from April - October; please inquire in advance if interested. The pool will generally be a comfortable temp without supplemental heat from the mid May to late August.

NO POOL FENCE: The safety of our smallest guests is of utmost importance. Since there is no pool fence, the home is not secure for small children; therefore we do not allow guests under the age of 10.

We have a thorough cleaning protocol to ensure all surfaces are sanitized and use unscented laundry cleaning products. We're also eco friendly and provide personal care and cleaning products from Public Goods for our guests to use. Eco features include recycling, energy-efficient LED lighting, and a fridge water filter so you can get great quality drinking water. Don't forget to pack a reusable water bottle!

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
- NON-REFUNDABLE PAYMENT FEE: There is a 5% payment processing fee that is non-refundable. If you book then cancel, our credit card processor doesn't refund fees.
- HOA RULES: Located in Rancho Vistoso, there are several important neighborhood rules that must be followed to be respectful of the community. In communal areas like the nearby park: no smoking/tobacco use, no alcohol, no motorized devices like scooters, and no persons in the park after 10pm.
- NO STREET PARKING: Cars cannot be left in the street or be blocking the sidewalk. There are 2 parking spots in the garage and 2 in the driveway. If your group will have more than 4 cars, please find an alternate house with a bigger driveway.
- PATIO SLIDER: If the patio slider is open for more than 5 minutes, the HVAC system will automatically turn off to conserve energy.
- OUTDOOR QUIET HOURS: This is a quiet neighborhood, so we ask that you reduce all outside noise after 10 p.m
- MID-STAY CLEANING: For stays of 16+ days, a mid-stay professional cleaning will be included at no additional charge (because no one wants to clean toilets on their vacay!). We can schedule a time when you'll be out adventuring.
- MAX GUESTS: The listing sleeps 8 people total, which includes the total count of adults and children. If you need the extra space, you're better off finding a bigger house that fits more people!
- NO PARTIES, EVER: Because this is a quiet residential neighborhood, parties, events, or other large gatherings are prohibited. Unapproved visitors will result in us asking your entire group to vacate the property immediately and forfeit the cost of your reservation. This will be strictly enforced.

Yay! You read the whole listing! As a thank you for your attention to detail, when booking, please mention the phrase "I support local" and there will be a welcome gift upon your arrival! Yes, we know it sounds cheesy but you'll love it! ;)
