The pool was great! We're glad we asked for it to be heated. The layout and location were fabulous. It is very convenient for restaurants, shopping and golf - which is why 11 of us flew to Tucson from Chicago. We would do it again.
This is a lovely home in a great location. Most everything we did was within a 20-minute drive or less. Magic Johnson, the property manager was super responsive and helpful. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, and basic condiments. It was relaxing to cook most dinners on the outdoor grill and eat by the pool. I wish we had paid the extra fee to heat the pool. I thought the water would heat up on its own in Feb/March but it didn't over the course of our two week stay.
We rented this house in 2024 for a company training we sent our guys too. The past experience we had of a beautiful clean home and property along with a host that was very responsive to messages, when we had another group to send this year, we knew we wanted to go back to this house. It is just a beautiful place to stay. Our company hopes to rent it again in upcoming trainings.
A group of 10 of us stayed to work together. The property was perfect with lots of space for small work groups and a nice living room for us to be together. Great spot.

Thanks! From individual couples to larger groups, this home has something for everyone.
Comfortable and clean property! Nice place to relax and unwind after a day in the Tucson heat. Pool safety fence is an added plus if you have little ones. Excellent communication by owner. Thank you Magic!!
Great stay at this gorgeous house. Cannot recommend highly enough. Have already booked it again for a wedding this fall. Owner is very responsive and accommodating.
We stayed here the week leading up to Easter with our family. We were a group of 8 adults and the size of this home, property and location was perfect. Our son goes to U of A which was about 7 miles from the property. The host responded quickly to any questions we had while there and was extremely accommodating.
I booked this property for 6 co workers who were visiting Arizona for a CAT 3D Training. The property manager was very responsive to any questions I had. The guys had a great time during their stay.
The property was perfect. Plenty of rooms for the 8 of us.
House was very clean. Outside pool was heated just right!
The hot tub and outside grill was used and enjoyed.

Thanks, Mitchell! There is nothing quite like a heated pool during winter and spring in Tucson Arizona. Glad you enjoyed the hot tub, grill, and other amenities.
Not much to say that hasn’t already been said. Home was clean and lacked nothing, pool was crystal clear the whole week, and the landlord was super responsive without being intrusive. Would definitely stay again
Great house with a responsive host made for a wonderful girls trip for our tennis team. Weather was perfect. Magic replied quickly and positively to all requests and he went out his way to offer us more than expected when the situation needed. Would come back again!
Great place in nice location. Good access to local hiking. Very nice people managing this home. Beautiful sunsets. Only downside is there is some traffic noise as the home sits above a major intersection, but it is in the background and quiets down at night. We would definitely return.

Yes you can hear some traffic when outside. It's generally not bothersome, and inside is super quite. The upside - quick and easy access to restaurants, shopping, freeway, downtown, and more.
Staying at a property owned by individuals rather than a corporation allows for excellent communication and an overall superb experience.
The property itself is well laid out for a group our size consisting of couples and singles with everyone in comfortable beds. The kitchen designed well for several people prepping and cooking., After hiking each day, the hot tub and pool essential and appreciated.
Communication with the owner and his daughter always timely and especially helpful. We look forward to renting this property again next year.

As a small family business we strive to deliver excellence. Because we are local, it's easier for us to be responsive to our guests needs. We are glad you enjoyed your time and appreciated the quality of our services and accommodations.
Magnificent home - great pool - hot tub - grill - fire pit (though we did not use) and a beautiful view of the Catalina mountains. Peaceful and fun. Fantastic for our family gathering - plenty of room in the house provided privacy for all. Communication with the hosts was superb and very much appreciated. Highly accommodating. We all liked it so much - we will look forward to another trip! Thank you again.
We had 8 stay very comfortably at the Winston. Great location to take off for our adventures either on the golf courses or for mountain biking. We ate in every night, and the kitchen and dining table worked very well for our group. Beds and bathrooms were as advertised and everyone enjoyed their space. The living room worked well for morning coffee, fellowship, and watching a little of the TV that we did. Great outside patio, with grill and hot tub for our use. And when the sunshine splashed it's evening rays on the Catalinas - WOW. Thanks Magic for making our stay a 5 star experience. We will be back next year.
We recently had a family reunion at this wonderful home. First, the home is setup SO well. Very clean, thoughtful setup of bedrooms with additional beds that did not crowd the bedrooms, great bathrooms, great separation giving everyone lots of room. The home is very well equipped for eating in, bbq'ing, etc. Lovely pool area, hot tub, gorgeous views, plenty of comfortable patio furniture. The communication with the manager/owner was friendly, prompt and thorough. It's 2 miles to the best shopping center,(La Encantada), and best grocery store (A.J's). Honestly, have nothing to say about this house but positive and we will definitely make this our Tucson home on our next trip.
This house was amazing. Spacious and clean. We enjoyed all the little nooks to sit and watch the sunset or sunrise. There were plenty of supplies and every room was setup beautifully. However, there were a few recommendations. There needs to be a bug zapper by the back door. The water fountain in front was green and needed cleaning. USB ports would be a nice addition to the house. Each room needs its own TV.

We agree this is an amazing house. Thanks to your feedback it's now even more so! We've added USB power strips to all bedrooms and cleaned the fountain. There are 3 new large flat screen TVs and high speed internet for folks to stream content to their tablets and other mobile devices.
The house was OK but did not include a hot tub, even though the heading in the listing specifically stated hot tub. We even received billing information on cleaning the hot tub. They moved us to a different house during our stay but did not provide any refund or accommodation for the hassle of packing up and moving.

Please Note - this is a factually incorrect review left by a disgruntled guest. It is true that there was a miscommunication regarding the availability of a hot tub. For this we stated our heartfelt apologies. We then offered and they accepted an upgrade to one of our other outstanding homes with a hot tub. They seemed to enjoy the new home and never once indicated they were otherwise displeased until they submitted this unfortunate, and I believe undeserved 1-star review.
The hot tub has since been replaced with a new model. We understand that sometimes things go wrong, or honest mistakes can be made. In the rare instances when a guest is dissatisfied with our service or accommodations, we strive to work to make things right. As our hundreds of 5-star positive reviews attest, this guest's review is simply not an accurate reflection of who we are and what we do. He has other issues he's dealing with, and we wish him well.
The house was in a nice quiet neighborhood, very clean and well equipped. Lots of linens and towels, both bath and pool towels.the kitchen was well stocked and the cabinets were labeled to make finding items that much easier. Beds were very comfortable
We asked for a crib and high chair and there was a child gate at the bottom of the steps leading to the upstairs.
We did ask to use the pool and hottub, both were clean and enjoyable. Grilled outside and enjoyed meals outside, in the kitchen and dining room with the extra folding chairs provided for 11 of us while in Tucson for a week for our daughter's wedding.
Appreciated that we did not have to remember to take trash bins to the street as they have arrangements to have workers come up to the garage area to pick them up.
Very nice to communicate with and get answers
Our family planned our trip to Tucson to see my mother who lives there. The home was very nice and clean with lots of beds and rooms for our big group. The home was equipped with everything we needed to make our visit very enjoyable. It’s located near many restaurants as well as grocery stores. We loved sitting outside but the fire pit as we enjoyed our meals. The hot tub was spacious and accommodated us all. I would definitely recommend this home for your next vacation.
