Everything was just about perfect during our stay. We wished the bedroom blinds kept the sun out in the early morning. There were no tvs in either bedroom, which wasn't a huge deal because I had my laptop, so we were able to watch tv in the bedroom before bed. The neighborhood was very quiet, and the back yard was very nice. The house was very clean and the setup of everything was lovely. We would definitely stay again.

We always appreciate places that are safe and welcoming to our pets. This place was brimming with southwestern charm. The kitchen was nicely stocked with everything we needed, and all the rooms were nicely spacious. The backyard was absolutely lovely and the host very responsive. The house was rather dark though, the pictures represent it in a very flattering light. Both beds were a little uncomfortable: one was too soft, the other one too firm. I guess it needed a third Goldilocks option. :) Aside from that, the area was amazing, quiet and safe, and we recommend the place.

"La Casita Encantada" was the perfect location for my husband and I to stay while we searched for our new Tucson home. It had all the amenities we needed for a month-long stay including a comfortable bed, great kitchen and laundry facility. The A/C was very cold and was appreciated as our stay began July 5. The location was perfect for us to explore the area. Lots of shopping and restaurants close by. We also had our 8 y/o border collie with us. She enjoyed exploring the fenced back yard. Thanks for a lovely stay!!!

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful 3 day stay at the Casita. Taylor was a friendly host. He left us snacks and fruit which went beyond what he needed to do. The house was comfortable and our dogs enjoyed the huge backyard. The neighborhood seemed safe and was quiet with friendly neighbors. Would definitely stay again!

Nice, clean resort.

The condo had everything we needed to make meals. We loved the hot tub. The Condo was clean and well kept. Lots of towels! Took advantage off the beach chairs and the cooler. Beach was a short walk as were small convenience stores and restaurants. Would stay there again.

Generally a nice place to stay. the home was very clean and had some good amenities (i.e. big TV, good dishes). However the bathroom could use some upgrades. The shower worked but it was old and somewhat primitive.

Tucson Get-Away

My husband and I stayed at this adorable little bungalow for 3 nights and couldn't have been happier. A great kitchen with all necessary tools, comfy couch and restful backyard allowed us to maximize our enjoyment during our short little respite. Although it was further from downtown than we thought when booking, it was centrally located for all of our adventures and we would definitely book here again.

About the host

Host profile image
Taylor - I'm originally from Oxford Pennsylvania though Arizona has been my home since 1997 and I absolutely love it! Cooking, gardening and reading are just a few of my favorite things to do in my spare time. I love to travel and am very friendly and personable and enjoy meeting new people from all over the United States and beyond. With that said, hosting is something I enjoy very much :)

Motto: " Live for today, Plan for tomorrow, and Learn from Yesterday"


Yuko - Born and raised in Japan until Junior High, went to High school and college in Tucson Az. Just started my apt in Fukuoka as rental , for I plan on returning to Arizona here in the near future, though Fukuoka will always be "home". Keeping my place there keeps me connected for when I return, Which will be 2-3 times annually. Very much a people person, and this Vacation Rental has been rather fun..:)

Together - We make a great team and We look forward to meeting more people via VRBO

Why they chose this property

This is the adjacent property to my private home, which has another casita behind it that we use as a vacation rental. So if this one isn't open, inquire about the other. With that said, We absolutely LOVE the neighborhood. You can't get any more centrally located to EVERYTHING to do in Tucson ! Close to U OF A, hiking golf, great restaurants, parks, botanical gardens, malls, downtown entertainment etc, while located in a well established quiet neighborhood that was built out in 1940's.
