Great location

We had never been to Tucson and really enjoyed staying in Oro Valley. At first we thought it was far from everything, but once we became acquainted with the area discovered the opposite.. The unit was exactly as expected. Very well decorated and clean. The bed was comfortable and the view from the patio wonderful. The neighbors were so welcoming and friendly. Our immediate neighbor to the left gave us lemons from her tree. We were invited to a BBQ at the clubhouse and a Spring lunch. Both were amazing and we were made to feel right at home. We took advantage of the fabulous gym facilities and the pool. All in all a place we would be happy to return to. Thanks Suzanne for a great stay and for being available.

Modern Retreat in the Desert in Oro Valley

Overall there are more Pros than Cons about this VRBO. PROs: Quiet location, clean; has everything one needs for cooking; enjoyed walking our dogs in the neighborhood & nearby paths; shower in master BR was great; large walk-in master BR closet; TV worked well; owner left clickers to access entrance gate & unit garage door. CONS: Only 2: (1) backyard is fenced/walled on only 2 sides, thus must pay attention when dogs are out that they don't stray into neighbours yard; (2) 2nd bedroom only has a pull out couch/double bed, which was a bit cumbersome to make up (thank goodness there was directions). Mattress for pullout bed was OK, but low & not as comfortable for sleeping in a real bed; also, there was no bedside table in the 2nd bedroom. This explains why I gave this house only a 4/5 rating.

A bit of heaven

Suzanne was wonderful hostess attentive to making our stay perfect. Incl new water filter for fridge and replace light on stove. The home was bigger than pictures looked and patio with propane grill perfect. And we grilled a lot. The property backs to the best kept neighborhood walking trail and close to so many things. Beds comphy. The pool and library were great and you walk the neighborhood and everyone is so friendly. I did not want to leave but we have already reserved next year! Thank you Suzanne 💝

Highly Recommend.

My wife and I stayed here for 3 months (Jul, Aug, Sep), while waiting for construction of our new home to be completed. Everything was very comfortable and the location was convenient to nearby shopping and recreation. One especially nice feature of this particular property is the quiet back yard area. Would highly recommend.

Potential Renter Beware

Renters beware: Owner is not forthcoming in her advertisement. When renting the property, I specifically asked if the property was pet friendly and the response was “yes” Based on her picture of the property’s patio, one is led to believe that there is an enclosed yard. What she failed to list is that the patio is only enclosed on two sides and one is open to all the other neighbors yards with easy access to street from the yards themselves. I have two small dogs that were staying with me at this property and for their well being, I could not have them running all over the neighbor’s yards and into the street. Rather than making an issue of this, I placed a small metal dog fence across the yard. Two weeks into my tenancy, I was informed via text by the property owner that the HOA was demanding that the barrier be removed immediately or face a fine. I asked the owner to address the barrier issue with the HOA and she told me to contact the HOA myself. I left the property early because of the safety of my pets and the inconvenience of not having a fenced in yard. The owner refused to make any financial compensation for me having to leave the property early. For the most part, the property was clean. The cable is limited and full instructions for using it is not provided. The property is dark and has poor lighting which is compounded by burnt out ceiling lights. There are constant loud appliance noises that make it uncomfortable to be in the home, especially at night to sleep. Both the bed and sleeper sofa mattress is hard and very uncomfortable. HOA rules that are pertinent to your stay are not provided ahead of time. The owner is indifferent about all matters brought to her attention as well as slow at addressing concerns. Her excuse being that she never receives the message. In addressing pertinent issues, the owner is bad-mannered and unwilling to take responsibility in resolving them in an equitable manner.

A month in Oro Valley in Dec

The property was exactly as shown on Homeaway. It was clean, it had everything we needed, linen, towels, kitchen ware, even Rubbermaid storage boxes. The high ceiling in the family room made it feel even more spacious. The yard was small but adequate (It is after all a 55+ community). We walked our dogs around the gate community and we were welcomed. The keys to gate to the outside park so our dogs could enjoy some grass was great. We had some questions for Suzzane and she answered the next day.

Great 2-bed condo with views

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful condo for several months while our home was being built. It is well furnished, very clean, and has a lovely covered back patio with views of the mountains. We enjoyed using the community pool and jacuzzi many times which is just a short walk away. The neighbors are quiet and friendly.

Wonderful stay

We spent a month at this property and enjoyed every minute. The Unit is clean, modern and beautifully decorated. We especially appreciated the clubhouse facilities...two beautiful pools, hot tub, and gym...and used them every day. All the amenities of Oro Valley are close by with great restaurants, shops and golf courses.
