My husband and I had a wonderful stay in your beautiful home. It was very clean and looked just like the pictures. We would definitely stay here again!
We wanted a place for 6 family members to enjoy a few days in Tucson, where we went to see a performance by an Australian group on their US tour. This house worked well for us, and on the 100º days the pool was just what we needed. The foothills area is quiet and full of birds -- my mornings were spent sitting by the pool, birdwatching - perfect. The large saguaro in the backyard was blooming, and teeming with bird action. In the house, we found everything we needed, including a coffee maker and well-supplied kitchen. I'd definitely book this place again.
Excellent house. Well laid out, very clean and modern. Very nice neighborhood close to shopping. Todd was a responsive host. I would go back again next year for sure!
Perfect place for us as part of a family reunion. Plenty of space, well appointed and equipped, clean, clean, clean! Definately will try and stay again. Less than a mile from Arizona National Golf Course
Everything we expected was there. Spot on privacy and relaxation. The house is minimalist, which is perfect. The neighborhood is extremely quiet. The property is very retro and well-maintained. No complaints. If you’re looking to kick it up, this isn’t the place. It’s a getaway from your busy life. We would come back.
The house was nice, pool was awesome and the neighborhood was very very quiet. Exactly what we wanted. Stores were close by to grocery shop and get some other items as needed. Communication with agency to the owners were quick thankfully. Found a tiny scorpion in the shower on our last morning, which was our first and no incidents from it thankfully. It was a nice experience.
This home was exactly as listed. Clean, private and quiet - the perfect retreat to relax and de-stress while attending some important and bustling family events. Our two little doggos were welcomed with a reasonable fee. Host was proactive and responsive.We enjoyed swimming, sunbathing and the outdoor space every day - don't let the cosmetic surface scuffs put you off - the pool was perfection: clear, clean and cool. The gazebo was an amazing space to enjoy an early summer monsoon, too! The only thing missing was an outdoor shower.The yard was full of birds and the wildlife was a pleasure - we saw cactus wrens, roadrunners, woodpeckers, quail, and hummingbirds [the property has feeders and kept them filled] - plus a pair of coyotes trotted past the back fence! And yes, the views are spectacular - 360º breathtaking! The property was well-appointed and everything worked...with the exception of the showers - both bathrooms had issues with the shower controls [see the January 2025 review]. One had no cold water and the other was almost impossible to get hot water to more than a trickle. Luckily my sisters were okay with lukewarm showers and my husband and I okay with hot showers ;). Our host, Todd, responded that the issue would be addressed promptly.A note of warning if you are bringing dogs in the summer not used to the desert heat: the pavers and artificial turf grass get HOT in the afternoon sun. Overall 5-star stay -we'll definitely come back soon!
Clean, older house in quiet neighborhood.The Good. Good beds, clean, good TV, well equipped kitchen with good appliances, garage, grocery store nearby, great outdoor area and pool, responsive manager, easy check in.The Less Good. Both showers needed repair, no garage door opener, BBQ grill hard to light, couches not comfortable, few restaurants in the area.
