Tubac Barrio

First time staying here, and we really enjoyed the stay. House was exceptionally clean, and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was extremely well supplied. We ran into one slight issue, and the owners, even though they were on a different continent, had it handled and taken care of in record time. We would definitely stay here again and we highly recommend it. Edie & Bob Kreider

Cielito Lindo neighborhood, lovely accommodation for our 8th January birding the Tubac area

This rental has the charm of an artist’s special touch. Colorful framed depictions of historical events, animals, birds, Native American and Mexican items, colorful decorating. The location is quiet and well located for walking to the many galleries, shops, restaurants, and the Anza Trail. Our stay this year was limited by the Covid pandemic, but was made more pleasant by the time spent staying in this unique home. We highly recommend it. The owners are very accommodating, keeping in touch with renters. As avid birders, we hope to return to Tubac in 2023.

Great find!

Loved this house! Authentically decorated with all the amenities you could possibly want, it was a delight to come home to after days on the road traveling. Paul was quick to respond to concerns. We found the neighborhood safe and friendly. While there are no national brand chains in Tubac ( grocery store, pharmacy) they are a short 15 minute drive up the highway. The beauty of the mountains and the proximity to nature make up for any inconvenience of having to drive to get services. First class property!

Lovely month in Tubac

We enjoyed our month at Paul and Alyson’s lovely home! It was the perfect location for walking to the village and near to the Anza trail! Paul was very responsive to a few needs...an excellent communicator! The home was very comfortable and very clean, well appointed with tasteful art of the Tubac area! The neighborhood is charming! We definitely would return if available! Thank you!

Beautiful property

This property is in a wonderful location. It’s an easy walk to downtown, to the Anza trail, or just around the neighborhood. From the patio, we overlooked the pool area, and enjoyed the hummingbirds who frequented the feeder. The house itself is comfortable and well equipped. Paul is very easy to work with, and any issues were handled promptly. We enjoyed spending the winter in Tubac, and look forward to doing it again sometime.

The Perfect Tubac Family Getaway

We had a great time during our stay in Tubac, and this house was perfect for our needs. We took advantage of the pool and jacuzzi off the back patio, went for walks and bike rides in town, and ate In the local restaurants. The house was beautifully decorated, very well appointed and was absolutely fantastic in every way.

Great stay in Tubac

My husband and I spent a month enjoying this wonderful home. It was close to all the local attractions in a great little community. The house was very clean and comfortable. Paul, the owner, was available for any questions we had and responded quickly. Thanks again for making our stay so wonderful.

Very nice experience

I have been working temporarily in Nogales Mx. This unit is comfortable, in a pleasant location, close to the freeway and local eateries. Since I was working, I did not have much chance to enjoy Tubac, but staying here was order of magnitude better than staying in hotel. Communication and response times were very good. Paul went out of his way and accommodated a special circumstance I had during my stay. (Thanks again Paul.)

Hi, we're from England in the U.K., a long way from Tubac, but it's worth the long journey to winter in such an amazing place. We came to know and love the area through our visits to relatives who also spend their winters in Tubac.
Feel free to ask us about anything you need to know...we're here to help.

Why they chose this property

Having only bought the property in March 2015, we have made, and will continue to make improvements to the fittings, fixtures and decor, such as upgrading the kitchen worktops and creating a front patio area to catch the early evening sun.

What makes this property unique

As well as the beautiful weather, which is pretty much guaranteed, there are many activities to enjoy locally. If you like to hike, there are extensive hiking trails for all levels of ability in the mountains and valleys, including the famous Anza Trail. If you like to play golf, the nearest course is just 2 miles away. If you like to birdwatch, you will not be disappointed. if you like to ride horses there are stables nearby. If you like history, the Tubac Presidio State Historic Park is on your doorstep, the Tumacacori State Historic Park is 3 miles away, and the Mission San Xavier del Bac is 36 miles away. If you fancy a trip to Mexico, a 20 minute car journey gets you to Nogales. Or maybe a trip to the vibrant center of gastronomy, Tuscon, which is only 40 minutes by car.
