The home is tucked into a hillside on a very private lot in Paloma Primera within the gated community of La Paloma. Beautiful mountain and golf course views await!

About the host
Hosted by Preben Martin
We are Seattle natives, and now primarily live on Vashon Island in WA State. We also spend time in our Seattle condo (VRBO 201730), our desert home in Tucson, AZ and our condo in Hawaii (VRBO 190187), all of which are also available to rent through VRBO. Working in sports television has its perks, but after many days on the road our favorite things to do are spend relaxing days in the beautiful places we call home. Tucson is one of our favorite places on Earth and we hope you are able to enjoy it as well!
Best!
Nicole and Preben Martin

Why they chose this property
We love Tucson and are there as often as possible. Unfortunately our jobs keep us away too often, so we share our property with friends, family and VRBO renters! We think the Catalina Foothills provide some of the most beautiful vistas in the world which is why we call it home from time to time. That, and the endless blue sky, sunshine and great food!
What makes this property unique
We built our home as a primary residence, so it has many custom features and upgrades that other rental properties may not have. We hand selected the lot and interior finishes, put lots of love and thought into the back yard amenities and added windows and positioned the house to perfectly take in the stunning views. We know you'll love it too!
