Refreshing pool & hot tub-Close to downtown but feels like country-Very Private!
Hacienda Gecko is the ideal place for your Tucson vacation. Whether you are in town for The Gem Show, visiting the University of Arizona, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, golf, health spa, or a vacation to take it all in, Hacienda Gecko is close to everything and will be your launching pad to everything Tucson has to offer.
Situated in a quiet neighborhood in the hills above Tucson, Hacienda Gecko is located fifteen minutes from Downtown Tucson and U of A. Within twelve minutes you will find yourself at the J. W. Marriott golf and spa complex and only twenty-five minutes to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Tumamoc Hill, “A” Mountain, and The Loop are only minutes away as are numerous other adventures that are waiting for you to explore.
Hacienda Gecko offers plenty of space for everyone in your group. The house features four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The massive master bedroom has a king size bed and an en-suite, spa-like bathroom. Pamper yourself with a huge walk-in shower with dual shower heads and wands. Additionally, this space has two sinks and a walk-in closet. There is a smart TV with cable, a sitting area and a beehive fireplace there as well. Two more bedrooms, at the opposite end of the house, each have queen size beds with a nearby full bathroom with tub and shower. The fourth sleeping area has a queen size bed and a set of twin bunk beds bringing the total sleeping capacity in the house to ten. The fourth bedroom with twin beds has a smart TV with cable and a DVD Blue Ray player as well so it’s can also be an ideal hang out for kids and teens.
The kitchen, with stainless steel appliances, a gas range, a Keurig coffee system, and Quartz countertops, will accommodate all of your culinary needs. Enjoy having your meals together with everyone around the massive dining room table that seats ten. The kitchen and dining area open up to a sunken living room. There’s room for everyone to visit or watch TV or movies here with a wraparound leather sectional and 80” smart TV with DVD/Blue Ray player.
There’s no doubt that the pool and hot tub area will also be a big hit. Much time is spent outdoors in Arizona and Hacienda Gecko has that covered in a big way. There are four loungers, a table that seats six under the Ramada, plus another cozy patio seating area. A gas grill is located there for your barbequing needs. The outdoor space has a resort-like feel. There is a view of the mountains and of the city lights from the secluded back yard. The space is nicely lit for evenings outdoors including string lights for that true southwest feel.
*Pool heating (set by the property owner at 88 degrees) is optional at $50 per day and will be added as a separate transaction after initial booking.
Rounding out the property is a three-car garage, a ping pong table for those spirited tournaments that seem to happen, and a small putting green in the front of the property.
Nearby you will conveniently find grocery stores, restaurants, and pharmacies. The freeway is also nearby making Tucson navigation a breeze.
Your visit to Tucson will not be complete without staying at Hacienda Gecko. Treat yourself to a comfortable and inviting home that is close to everything that Tucson has to offer. Hacienda Gecko is a true southwest experience that does not disappoint!
Your safety matters. This property features 2 exterior security cameras. One is by the garage and the other is at the front of the property. (They do not look into any interior spaces, the pool or the hot tub)

Wonderful Property.We had a great visit at this property. Cleanliness, layout and decorating were very nice.Outdoor space was the star - a beautiful, refreshing pool with pool toys for the kidsHot tub was clean and a perfect temperature Landscaping made you feel you were at a resort.It was very convenient to the National Park which was a main attraction for us.If there was any downside, it was that there were not many eateries nearby other than chains. We would most definitely stay here again.

Four of us really enjoyed staying for a week at this conveniently located, well stocked, and very clean property. Kristine was very helpful answering questions. Having access to the garage was a plus with the heat wave. What made it for all of us was being able to hang out by and use the pool. Would return.

Our family stayed here for a week and thoroughly enjoyed this house! The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the grill had plenty of propane. It was warm in early November, so we made good use of the pool. The pool and hot tub were very clean! It was easy to get to hiking trails, and into town for restaurants. This place ranks as one of the best that I've rented!

We absolutely loved our stay! We travel annually to Tucson and this house was the perfect landing pad for our group of 10 (6 adults, 1 teen and 3 kids. The home is spacious and cozy. The pingpong table in the garage was a huge hit, as was the heated pool and hot tub. the kitchen was well stocked to prepare food for our group, along with plenty of supplies to run the dishwasher and clean up after ourselves. The furniture was comfortable and the living room and dining table were perfect for our group.

Our family loved the property. Everyone had their own space but we also were able to share time together in the large living room and outside. The pool and hot tub were clean and the pool was heated (which was a must for mid March). We would definitely want to stay again the next time we are in town.

About the host
Hosted by Kristine
We are experienced vacation rental hosts with homes to rent in Lincoln City, Oregon - Sandpoint, Idaho - Las Vegas, Nevada and now Tucson, Arizona. We loved staying at vacation rentals as a family with with our parents and our three kids so much better than staying at hotels that we started buying homes to share that kind of experience with others.
Why they chose this property
This property has real Tuscan charm with a unique floor plan. From the Terra Cotta tile floors, the large backyard Ramada and private swimming pool to the, various cactus, flowing plants, orange and grapefruit trees, it's like a desert oasis. Views of the mountains and the city, it has a secluded rural feel yet it is in the city and is easy access to all Tucson has to offer.
