Thanks for the 5-star review! We are so glad everyone enjoyed their stay. We welcome you to book this or any of our upscale Tucson homes whenever you are back this way!
Our stay was very enjoyable. The property was just perfect for the 5 of us. We made very good use of the large and well stocked kitchen. The outside covered patio provided shade for a perfectly placed pool to cool off from the AZ sun. The hosts were very responsible and pleasant. If the opportunity presents itself again, we will not hesitate to stay here again.
What a lovely property and clean contemporary home with beautiful mountain views and heated pool. Property managers were extremely helpful. Definitely will return.
