SPA: The spa is heated on-demand (turn on 1-2 hours prior to use) and can be used year round, and is included in the cost of your stay.
POOL: The pool can be heated to 85* for an additional daily fee of $75 Nov - March or $55 April - Oct, with a 3 consecutive day minimum - please inquire in advance if interested. The pool will generally be a comfortable temp without supplemental heat from the mid May to mid August. Due to the large size of the pool and large deep end, if evening temperatures are dipping below 40*, the pool heater may not be able to keep up and retain the intended temperature.
POOL FENCE: The safety of our smallest guests is of utmost importance, thus the pool fence is required to remain in place and remain locked for groups with kids under the age of 12. For travel groups without children, you may request in advance that the north section of pool fence be removed (schedule allowing).
We have a thorough cleaning protocol to ensure all surfaces are sanitized and use unscented laundry cleaning products. Eco features include recycling, energy-efficient LED lighting, and a sink water filter so you can get great quality drinking water. Don't forget to pack a reusable water bottle!

Other things to note PATIO SLIDERS: If the patio sliders are open for more than 5 minutes, the HVAC system will automatically turn off to conserve energy.
OUTDOOR QUIET HOURS: This is a quiet neighborhood, so we ask that you reduce all outside noise after 10 p.m
MID-STAY CLEANING: For stays of 14+ days, a mid-stay professional cleaning will be included at no additional charge (because no one wants to clean toilets on their vacay!). We can schedule a time when you'll be out adventuring.
MAX GUESTS: The listing sleeps 8 people total, which includes the total count of adults and children. There is a $100 per guest per day fee for over 8 people, so if you need the extra space, you're better off finding a bigger house that fits more people!
NO PARTIES, EVER: Because this is a quiet residential neighborhood, parties, events, or other large gatherings are prohibited. Unapproved visitors will result in us asking your entire group to vacate the property immediately and forfeit the cost of your reservation. This will be strictly enforced.
GUEST ACCESS Guests have full access to the house except the following areas: - Owner's closet in the laundry room - Owner's closet in garage
Yay! You read the whole listing! As a thank you for your attention to detail, when booking, please mention the phrase "I support local" and there will be a welcome gift upon your arrival! Yes, we know it sounds cheesy but you'll love it! ;)

Dave,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your five-star review! Great to read you enjoyed the convenience of the house while enjoying the Tucson area. We hope to host you again in the future!
Nick & Kristen
Our stay at this property was wonderful! It was clean with all the amenities we needed. The neighborhood setting was also peaceful. The pool and spa were heavenly, especially with a view of the mountains at sunset.
After a week long overlanding trip, finishing our little adventure in Tucson at this home was the perfect oasis. Jon and Jenn were perfect hosts and the property was exactly as advertised. I would stay here again.

Perfect house and perfect location!
Perfect location, close enough to U of A to be convenient, but far enough away that my son felt like he was on vacation. House was spotless and organized, plenty of space for two families traveling together. We will be back!
This was by far our best vacation rental experience we've had. The house was exactly as described... maybe better. Great owners, easy to work and communicate with.

5 star stay
The house was spotless and beautifully decorated . The breathtaking views are a bonus! Communication was easy, and owners were super responsive to our questions/issues, ensuring a comfortable stay. Hope to return soon!
We are a family of 7, with 2 grandkids, aged 4 and 1. The house layout could not have been better for our group! Photos are great, house is better in person! Views are spectacular!!
Amazing views of the Catalinas. Private backyard. Mid Century Modern home with great amenities. Hot tub, great pool, shaded backyard area, plenty of towels, nice pots & pans. A great place to host family over graduation week. We had a terrific stay.
Excellent stay for 2 couples. Clear and timely communication with owners. Well-appointed property. Lovely view. Recommend heated option for pool and spa.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was better than the photos. Loved the back yard with the pool and hot tub. Owners are so accommodating and easy to work with. Everything was very clean.
Appreciated the ample supply of TP, shampoo, soap, laundry detergent and dish soap.
We would definitely stay here again.
The house is beautifully decorated and very clean. We spent a lot of time out by the pool enjoying the landscaping and mountain views. Perfect house to hangout at and great location/close proximity to everything (grocery, restaurants, coffee shops, etc.). 5 stars all around. Highly recommend staying here!

Catalina Foothills
Great home in a perfect location. Plenty of space, a gourmet kitchen , great views from the family room and Arizona room of the mountains and we loved relaxing around the pool. The home was immaculate. We will definitely return.
We rented this for University Of Arizona family weekend. House is spacious, clean and loved that the kitchen is fully stocked. Responses from owner were quick! Would definitely rent from again!
Nice location in a quite residential community. House easily accommodated our party of 5 including a very spacious master bedroom. Very clean property with great views of the Catalina mountains from the spacious deck. Managers very receptive and quickly responded and resolved a minor plumbing issue. Grapefruit tree produced delicious fruit!
We visited during one of the coldest weeks in February but enjoyed every bit of the comfortable, beautifully decorated indoors with a fireplace that joins the family room and living room. Well-stocked kitchen. Modern, comfortable furniture. Nice neighborhood for a stroll.

Great to hear you enjoyed our home, and thank you for leaving such a great review! We love the fireplace as well for when the dessert nights are chilly. Thank you for choosing our relaxing getaway, and we hope you join us again in the future.
NIck & Kristen
Our family does a lot of renting with VRBO for vacations or weekend getaways. This is by far one of the best homes we've stayed in. Family of 5 with more than enough space. Well appointed kitchen, spacious laundry, amazing pool, hot tub, friendly and accommodating property owners. Close to shops, restaurants and grocery. We hope to stay here again!
We LOVED this home! They had everything you may need. It was clean, well organized, beautifully decorated, and centrally located. Would recommend this to anyone having a group or family in Tucson.
Beautiful mid-century modern property with pool, hot-tub, and mountain views. Even better than pictured. Comfortable beds, new appliances, many working fireplaces. Great communication with owners. We will be back.
