A lovely casita with great hosts

This was the perfect place for our recent visit to Tucson - comfortable, cozy, with a lovely yard and decently equipped kitchen. It was close to a number of really nice restaurants and not too far from downtown and the university. The hosts were exceptionally responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Even better than you think

Gave description 4 stars because it’s even better than you think. Private and dog friendly. Found no issues with the fence keeping my dog in when they wanted to go out. Bigger than it looks in pics. Area is ok but it is close to a lot of attractions. We were on hikes and a sight seeing visit.

Best Stay Ever!

We had such an enjoyable and comfortable stay in this beautiful casita! From the moment we pulled into the driveway we were captivated by the beauty of the landscape and charm! When we walked through the front door we were so excited at how clean and cozy everything was and we knew we were going to have an incredible stay, which we did! It was so nice to cook meals, sleep comfortably, watch movies and use the grill in the yard. We even impressed our guests when they joined us for a bbq. We will definitely be back and look forward to another future stay!

Brief visit to Tucson and love the casita!

Really comfortable and spacious casita. Lovely outdoor area that enabled me to enjoy the late fall sunny and warm days in Tucson. It was the perfect place to allow us to explore Tucson during the day and to come home to a nice sweet place in a comfortable neighborhood. And we at the best Mexican food every day of our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Taylor & Yuko

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.
