Beautiful spacious home. Well maintained.Perfect for our mini family reunion with daughter, son-in- law and 2 adult grandchildren. Plenty of space for family and individual activities. Beautiful pool area. Tucson was experiencing record heat when we were there. AC was adequate and i noticed several outdoor heaters for cooler weather. 5 minute drive to grocery store. Peaceful setting among the Saguaro s

This is a beautiful, secluded home with amazing backyard Tucson scenery. The main areas of the home were very clean. The outdoor spaces are wonderful! A few small things to note: 1) the two car garage is not available to guests as it is full of storage, toys, tools, etc.; 2) the closets, fridges, & pantries in the home had numerous personal items in them - this was surprising & and a small inconvenience. Overall, great stay!

Oasis in Tucson

The house was immaculate with well appointed amenities. Not all those amenities were working but the important ones were. We had 7 people staying at the house. There was enough space to get alone time but also spend plenty of time together. This is the perfect location and incredibly close to downtown, the desert museum and the zoo. I highly recommend!

About the host

Host profile image
Married since 2010, we wanted to design and build a custom home that would be in our family for decades. We spent more than a year putting the finishing touches on this house and enjoy returning to it periodicially to make memories with our three children. We are based in San Diego now but still consider Tucson "home". We hope you'll enjoy staying in our house as much as we do and that your time in Tucson is memorable.
