We were able to enjoy the poolside seating, the pool warmed up and the hot tub was a big hit with our family. The outdoor fireplace kept us comfy on our cool evenings. The kitchen was well supplied with everything from condiments to appliances. We loved all the coffee bar choices. The shuffleboard and air hockey were great fun too.
Our group of four friends had a wonderful time in Tucson. The house is well laid out and in a perfect location with views of the mountains plus restaurants and shopping nearby. We really enjoyed the outdoor area with the pool and hot tub! A couple of small issues were addressed quickly by the host and the check in and check out were super easy! We highly recommend this house!!
My sisters, brothers & I had a wonderful time at Vista Veranda. The property was beautifully maintained & offered everything we hoped for. It was spacious & comfortable, not too far from the things we wanted to do but away from all the traffic & noise of a city the size of Tucson. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had. I recommend Vista Veranda to anyone looking for a vacation stay in the Tucson area.
Great property. Well equipped- more than expected. Luxury feel from furniture, appliances, etc. perfect location near hiking and bear canyon. Dark night skies for stargazing by pool. Clean, fresh, comfortable. Very nice to have bathrooms for every bedroom.Only negative was slow response on one communication- but it didn’t hurt our stay. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
The most amazing place to stay in Tucson! Minutes from the mountains and short drive to downtown. The home was beautifully furnished, and so grateful for the wonderful and welcoming hosts!
This was the most satisfying experience we've ever had with a booking. The house itself is fantastic, very nicely equipped including many considerate touches (QR code for internet, etc). The hosts were wonderfully helpful. We all agreed that we'd like to stay here in the future. Thanks to the wonderful hosts!
Our host was very responsive to the couple of emails that we sent to them. Attention to detail with all the amenities was top notch. We would definitely recommend staying at this home.
Memorable, lots of activities for families, everything was clean and organized. We were a 3 generation holiday, had a wonderful time. Would highly recommend this Vrbo./
My wife and I visited along with our daughter, son-in-law and 8 year old grandson. The number of bedrooms and the layout were ideal. There were plenty of bathrooms for everyone. The house was clean. The kitchen was well equipped for anything we wanted to prepare. Views of the mountains from the backyard were outstanding and good hiking trails just a few miles from the house. There were lots of outdoor seating options. Sadly the weather was a bit cool and limited our use of the pool. We did use the hot tub several times and it was great. We would certainly plan on visiting this property again if we come back to Tucson.
Our stay was fantastic. The property was exactly as advertised and fit the bill for a wonderful getaway. Host was very responsive and helpful. This location is in a beautiful neighborhood that is very quiet with wonderful views. It is SUPER CLEAN! I highly recommend this listing!

Thank you Nancy! It was a pleasure to host you and your friends. Please reach out, we'd love to host you again
We stayed here for our son’s UofA graduation and it was the perfect place to be able to hang out and enjoy some family time while celebrating our graduate. The house and decor are super cute and the backyard is gorgeous. We will 100% be back.
We had a great time staying at this beautiful property. It had everything we needed for a large family with 5 kids ranging from 3 to 8.
We’ll definitely look to stay there again next time we’re in town visiting family!
The house was perfect for our family vacation and exceeded our expectations. It is well located for all of the outdoor activities that we had planned, and is an easy ride to downtown and major highways. We also appreciated the convenient access to a grocery store and several restaurants. Mountain views and sunsets from the patio are amazing!
Everything about our stay was incredible - the property itself is immaculate and just as pictured in the listing photos. The house is warm and welcoming, and there are so many small details that have been included that it truly feels like you’re staying at a spa. Laurel, the host, was particularly kind and accommodating when we made a last minute mistake with our booking. We couldn’t have had a better week here.
Very impressed with amenities and house. Stocked kitchen with all supplies, spices and high end cookware. Loved the individual blanket wraps available to use when outside by the fire pit. Plenty of towels and hot tub was always heated and ready. Bathrooms were all stocked with toiletries and high end hairdryers. Several desks in rooms and computer screen and cable available. These were used by people that were checking emails and working while on vacation. Thank you for the phone chargers that were left for our use! We’ve rented many houses on our annual golf trip and this was by far one of the best.
The house is an amazing retreat for family reunions. The bedrooms coupled with en suite bathrooms allow for privacy, but the outdoor public space provides ample opportunity for lounging by the pool and sipping a drink around the fire pit in the evening. The grandkids enjoyed air hockey and sand shuffleboard and the many games provided. Laurel was an hospitable hostess and patiently answered all my questions!

About the host
Hosted by Laurel and Brian Collins
We are a busy family of four. We love to travel, go hiking and and hang with friends and family. We are excited to share our property with you!
Why they chose this property
This beautiful corner of Tucson has the best of both worlds - it's convenient to restaurants and shops, but also feels "out" in a natural desert landscape and at the base of the Catalina mountains. We love how secluded it feels, even though it's in a neighborhood. And it is just SO quiet and dark at night!
What makes this property unique
We've designed the home to be both beautiful and functional with lots of spaces to relax and connect while soaking up the desert sun and views.
We love to cook and enjoy time with family and friends over a meal - the kitchen is well-stocked for your convenience.
Laurel works remote and understands the importance of having a comfortable space with high speed wi-fi; we have 3 workstations in the home.
