We had a wonderful experience staying at this beautiful desert home! It was extremely clean and the best stocked home we have ever stayed in! Communication with the owner was excellent! When we reached out with a question he answered in a very timely manner. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a comfortable and clean home away from home. Location is also great, close to Catalina State Park!

Loved the house, quiet neighborhood. Nice yard area. Great location, lots of stores around. Spare closet filled with baby equipment, could use extra storage for luggage. Wooden bunk beds need secured, they are loose and felt unsafe. And we asked pre-arrival for the hot tub use but it was not hot and jets were on a timer that turned off early afternoon. So couldn’t use it, not as advertised. Everything else was great! Robert responded quickly to any questions. Would rent again! Thank you!

This is a great home for a big family get together. It's convenient to shopping, restaurants, playgrounds and a state park for hiking. The backyard was good for kids to play and the grownups to sit and visit. The kitchen was well stocked with small appliances and items for cooking meals, which did a lot of. Robert was quick to respond to any questions we had. The pool was not heated and was very cold. The hot tub was a hit.

Christmas in AZ

This property was a perfect place for our family vacation. The owner was extremely responsive for any questions we had. The property was clean and very spacious. The only issue we had was the lighting out by the pool and hot tub was non existent so we mostly flash-lighted it as it was dark by 5p..but we talked with the owner and think this was a fuse that must have popped during the storm the day we arrived. If you’re looking for the perfect family fun house, this is definitely the place.

Beautiful location!

We had a wonderful time in Arizona for our daughters graduation from the University of Arizona. This home was in a beautiful area at the base of the mountains in Oro Valley. The house was immaculate inside and out and we felt right at home. My boys loved the games and they would have loved to go swimming in the pool, but we were soo busy with family events in Tucson that we didn't have enough time. I highly recommend this house and if we ever head out to Arizona again, we will definitely stay here again!

Thanksgiving reunion!

Perfect property for hosting a four generation Thanksgiving celebration. I’ve never seen a home so well appointed-every dish, every appliance, everything you would ever need in a a kitchen, was provided and of good quality. The host even dropped off an extra table and chairs to accommodate 12 dinner guests. We had 9 people staying at the home and there was more than enough room for everyone. The beds were comfortable and there are plenty of towels and bedding for all. The kids loved the games, the new parents loved all the items for the infant. And the hot-tub (which is available for a small extra charge) was a hit with all and a wonderful way to unwind after some very long trips to get to Tucson. There are also hiking trails just down the street, perfect for walking off that Thanksgiving meal. A lovely home with lovely, attentive hosts. Thank you, Bobby and Cate for helping make this once in a lifetime Thanksgiving, possible!
