About this property

Cozy Casita with Private Courtyard - 1.3 miles to UofA / 3.5 miles to downtown

Private, clean & comfortable casita in the heart of central Tucson! This cozy fully renovated casita is perfect for solo travelers or couples. The property features a full kitchen, a comfortable queen size memory foam mattress, renovated bathroom, and a private courtyard with dining table, gas grill & bistro lights. Perfect central location is just 1.3 miles from the University of Arizona and a 5-minute drive to downtown Tucson. It's an ideal central base for exploring the city! Enjoy the peace of a quiet neighborhood with easy access to everything!

Our fully renovated casita is designed for comfort and convenience. We are located in central Tucson along the Campbell Ave corridor where you will find dozens of restaurants, many coffee shops, stores, parks, and grocery stores. The University of Arizona, downtown Tucson and University Medical Center are all located within a few miles. The central location makes it easy to get to hiking trails, golf courses, I10, the Davis Monthan Air Force Base and Tucson International Airport.

Inside, you'll find a cozy living room with smart TV, a bedroom with a comfortable queen-size bed, a modern kitchen, and an updated bathroom with a luxurious rainfall shower head to help you unwind after a day of exploring.

Your private space includes:
* A fully equipped kitchen
* High-speed Wi-Fi
* A Smart TV (log into your own Netflix, Hulu, etc.)
* A luxurious rainfall shower
* A gas grill in your private fenced courtyard
* Private Washer and Dryer

The outdoor space has a private fenced courtyard, with outdoor dining space and gas BBQ grill. In the evening, the space transforms into a warm and inviting oasis under the glow of bistro lights.

The neighborhood is quiet, but close to everything! You'll see neighbors out walking dogs throughout the day, a "free table" where neighbors share goods, and a small free library where you can take a book or leave a book. Over on Cooper St there are public bike rentals on both ends of the street. You'll also occasionally find electric scooters for rent scattered around the streets.

Guests will have exclusive access to the entire private casita and its attached private courtyard. Self-check-in is available via a secure keypad on the door; you will receive a unique code that is active only for the duration of your stay. For added peace of mind, an interior deadbolt is also provided.

To access the casita, follow the path to the east of the main house (behind the driveway) all the way to the gate marked Candy's Casita. Enter the gate to find your private courtyard and the entrance to your home away from home. (You'll know you're in the right place when you spot the harmless T-Rex in the front yard)

The casita is completely separate from the main house, has a private entrance and fenced off courtyard.

We respect our guests privacy and offer a seamless self-check-in process. We are available via the app or phone if you need anything at all during your stay, from local recommendations to assistance with the space. Otherwise, we'll leave you to enjoy your peaceful retreat.
