We loved this house. The location was very convenient to the University of Arizona and we found lots of great food nearby. The house was just as great as promised and the outdoor space was amazing. We didn't cook at the house but the kitchen was beautiful and seemed very well-stocked. We would definitely stay at this house again.
House was comfortable and well stocked. Beds were very nice. Host was very accommodating and responsive. Definitely will book again next time we are in the Tuscon area.
Stunning property with beautiful outdoor space. Located just minutes from U of A campus. Perfect for families visiting or moving a college student in/out!
Property as described. Very comfortable. Plenty of space for five adults. Jacob was very responsive. You can tell that a lot of work went into the remodel.
This house was great! It was beautiful and centrally located. The backyard feels like a resort and is very peaceful. Despite being in a main road, it was very quiet. Would definitely stay here again.
We were satisfied with our stay at this property. The beds were very comfortable, the house was spacious, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. This house made our work trip that much more enjoyable.
We had an incredible stay at this property and would stay again. It really made our weekend relaxing and enjoyable. Jacob and the property manager were incredibly kind and responsive.
Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Quiet neighborhood. Indoor and outdoor tables and seating accommodated our group comfortably. Host and management group were responsive to needs and questions. Thanks!
It was perfect for a family get-together - we had everything we needed - the kitchen was well equipped. The pool is great for lounging. Great communication with the owner.
We came here with my mom, husband and 3 college age kids to celebrate a graduation. It was even nicer than the pictures! Super clean, beautiful furnishings, everything you could possibly need for cooking family meals and relaxing. Pool and backyard is special, with lots of different spaces to spread out and relax. My kids kept saying that it felt like a resort 😁. Highly recommend!!!!
Definitely a gorgeous home. I would stay here again although there were some minor issues such as one bathroom missing a glass door and some minor wall repairs. Overall, though this house is extremely well decorated and modernized
Beautiful location, we stayed in the entire time. Felt like an oasis. Group of friends getting together with all of our young kids (under age of 1). Hadn't seen each other live in years. Great location to reconnect as we enter this new phase of life being young mothers.
Great place and location. Only set back was having to light the stove with a lighter because pilot light did not work and one of fridge doors didn’t close all the way. Owners are aware and said they will fix the problem. Otherwise it was a great stay!
We stayed in Tucson with our multi-generational group and the house was perfect for us. The host was proactive about reaching out to make sure things were good and was responsive to our questions. Convenient location and a truly well-equipped home. The outdoor space was gorgeous too. There were even bath salts, toiletries in each bathroom, and an assortment of spices and coffee supplies in the kitchen!
What a great property in a central location! We were a group of seven in town for a girls' spa weekend. The house was spacious and included thoughtful amenities like cotton pads, bath salts, and other similar extras that you wouldn't normally expect. The beds were comfortable and everything was as described in the listing. Communication with Jacob and the property manager were timely and top-notch as well. Highly recommend!
