5* Captivating Catalina Mountain view home - private pool

We agree with all the previous great reviews. The house is in a great location and feels quite private. Suzy was easy to deal with and very helpful. The house was very clean and is well set-up to have guests, it is very bright and the pool would be great in the really hot weather. We would have liked to return next year but were not quick enough! The fact that Suzy's house is booked well in advance speaks for itself.

First extended get-a-way since retiring and cant believe how fortunate we were to come across this jewel in the desert. Turned out to be more than we were expecting in comfort and luxury. The home is well adorned in Southwestern attire and while ensuring you know you're not at home it provides every comfort you could possibly want. The location in Oro Valley is perfect for exploring Tucson and the surrounding area and at the same time is conveniently located close to nearby restaurants, shopping and all the daily necessities required for ones extended vacation.

Coffee outside early in the morning watching the sunrise over the Catalina mountains or the colours change in the mountain shadows at sunset can't be adequately described. It's a must see to believe situation.

golfed every second to third day on many of the countless courses within a short drive and swam in the private perfectly sized pool every day for a month, what's not to love?

Thanks Suzy for accommodating us in your remarkable home and we are already looking forward to our stay same time next year.

This is an easy review to write as we loved our month stay at Casa Serena! The home is artfully decorated, and includes all the necessities and comfort you would expect in a luxury home. In retrospect, we spent most of our time outside on the patio enjoying the views of both the Catalina and the Tucson mountains. The patio is a lovely space, and on occasion, the sunsets were breathtaking. Inside we enjoyed the open kitchen and dining area, as well as the cozy sitting area around the TV. It is a magazine beautiful but comfortable house. I actually took a picture of the label on the master bedroom mattress so we could see about getting the same mattress at home!

Suzy was a pleasure to work with from our initial booking and throughout our stay. She was available, helpful, and also really really nice! We also appreciated the Oro Valley location as we were close to all our favourite shops (i.e. Trader Joe's) and many good restaurants, as well as Tucson attractions like Biosphere 2 and the Degrazia Gallery. Definitely for us this stay was a five star experience.

This was our third year vacationing in Tucson while moving our daughter into the University of Arizona. We are so glad we found this perfect home in a quiet gated community in Oro Valley just north of Tucson. Each morning while we were there I looked forward to that nice cup of coffee watching the sun come up sitting and relaxing by the beautiful pool with incredible views. I especially liked the fact that there is a lot of privacy at this home. The neighbors are far enough apart and the backside of the home where the pool is located is adjacent to a quiet golf course. The home was updated and more than large enough for the four of us that stayed; 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. Plenty of room to spread out in this nicely decorated home. Many restaurants, shopping and attractions within driving distance. It was about a 25 minute drive to our daughters dorm at the University of Arizona. Day trips to the Desert Museum, Reid Park Zoo and one night in Phoenix for a Diamondbacks are just some of the things we did during our stay. The owner is a great communicator from the time we inquired about this property until the time we checked out. Suzy made us feel welcome in her home the entire stay. Would definitely recommend this property and look forward to returning someday. To the owner Suzy, thanks for sharing your beautiful relaxing home with our family. Hope you will have us back again someday, this was by far the best property we've rented in Tucson!

We had a truly outstanding stay at Casa Serena. The home is beautiful, the southwestern decorations and furnishings are excellent, and the Catalina Mountain views from the pool area are amazing. Wonderful experience all around, and we simply cannot thank you enough for a spectacular stay !!!!!
