The home was very comfortable for our group of 8. We enjoyed hanging out together in the indoor open spaces as well as enjoying the hot tub and games outside as well. Overall, very enjoyable stay and very convenient to the University of Arizona where we spent our days.

This space was perfect for our big family- a great yard, hot tub, huge kitchen area, and rooms with multiple beds made our family trip fun and convenient. The space was clean and low maintenance, and the owner was communicative and friendly. I would definitely come back here!

Great Stay in Tucson

The house was very comfortable; we loved the open spaces and the ping-pong table got a lot of use. Overall, the house allowed us to relax in our downtime and that was very much appreciated. The neighborhood also seemed quiet and safe and we were able to get out for a walk or run for some exercise.

Amazing property

We just got back from Family Weekend at U of A, and stayed at this beautiful property. Everything about the home is perfect, from the comfortable and spacious rooms, enormous kitchen, beautiful backyard and rooftop deck. There was an awesome game room stocked with a ping pong table, tons of card games, etc and the kids loved it. It's rare to see a rental so immaculate.....there was not a speck of dust on any of the outdoor furniture and the interior was fantastic. The hostess was incredibly accommodating and responsive, and beyond flexible with us. We appreciated the stay and wonderful customer service. Highly recommend!

My name is Candace and I am a Tucson local. I have called the desert home for nearly 30 years. I love architecture and design, fitness and my family. I have been hosting for almost six years. My husband and I are extremely hands-on. Our goal is to provide clean and well equipped spaces that we would like to stay at with our family. We have high standards so our guests can relax and enjoy their time with us. Being locals we are close by in case you need anything!

Why they chose this property

Samos is a quiet neighborhood, but it's close to all the action. Centrally located, 1 mile from the UfoA. 5 minutes to downtown. Walking distance to the Campbell Ave corridor with loads of restaurants, shopping, salons, coffee shops, and more. Great neighborhood for walking your dogs! Mountain Ave is exceptional for biking. Ideal spot!

What makes this property unique

This is one of the most unique homes in Tucson, and certainly in the area. Our roof deck offers a 360 degree unencumbered view of the city. Mountain views by day and city lights at night. It is a must see!
