We were thrilled with this rental. The host was VERY accommodating and helpful with our early arrival. The kitchen is set up really well if you like to cook, it's orderly and has plenty of dishes, cutlery, glasses. The rooms are large, plenty of towels for cleaning up and pool time. Highly recommend this property.

Great stay!! The host was nice and easy to talk too and communicate with. Was flexible with the check in and out time which was super great and appreciated! House was clean and ready when we got here. I’m not sure how clean the sheets were, they didn’t smell super fresh but everything else was in great condition! Loved our time, thank you for opening your home to us!

We had a great time at Tony's place. It is spacious, has everything we needed, and Tony responded immediately to any questions we had. This would be a solid choice for small groups, with accommodations for several people. There are lots of things to do on the property, a pool, hot tub, lounging areas, an outdoor TV, and the property, while quite private, is close to the heart of Tucson. We hope to return on our next trip to Tucson.

About the host

Hosted by Tony Marotta

Host profile image
I have lived in Tucson since 1982. Originally from southern New Jersey.
I am a handy guy, so the home is very well kept up inside and outside.
I am very available if needed with a simple text or call.
My father owned a restaurant in NJ and as I tell visitors upon their arrival, "Not only is the house clean for you, it is sanitized"!
I want groups to have a great time and enjoy your stay!

Why they chose this property

Me and my parents bought this property in 1985 as it had such a great feel, land, pool, views and a Koi pond that attracts Humming birds, Hawks, Eagles and Heron!
The main house was completely remodeled and 900 sq ft was added in 2007.
The main house is the rental home, the guest house is mainly used for storage. The homeowner does stay in the guest house some nights, very rarely. There is a helpful "cheat sheet" to help with many of the features and instructions for pool, hot tub, switches, TV's, fans, etc. Close restaurants, food stores. As of 2015, there is a 40 inch HD "Smart" TV outside with viewing from just about all of the pool yard and Jacuzzi. As of May of 2019 three of the four bedrooms have HD "Smart" Tv's. There is plenty of parking at the top of the driveway and elsewhere on the property with plenty of good lighting. The property is very safe and has never had any issues in 37 years! The neighbors are all very friendly and Tony knows them all by first name! They are quite a distance as the home is on 1.5 acres! You will walk out front or out back and not be seen which will give you a very private feeling and I have been told this by guests many times. You will feel like you are in a HOME, not just a rental house!!

What makes this property unique

Very private yet close to downtown and University area. It has many of the original "Charming Burnt Adobe" walls, where they could be left during remodeling.
Everything is modern and tiled throughout! Views are great and the Koi pond attracts all types of wildlife particularly Humming birds and some hawks, eagles and Roadrunners! Hummingbird feeders in the front attract them year round!
