Beautiful view, immaculately clean and one of the most helpful accommodating hosts I’ve ever encountered. Should be able to leave an extra star for Marg
I would definitely stay here again. There was a nice welcome basket with goodies in it, check in was easy and the place was clean and cozy. Great Place!!!
Thank you for taking the time to review Sweet Desert Retreat. It was a pleasure to host you. We hope to see you again on your next visit to Oro Valley!
We were welcomed with a loaf of homemade bread and a bottle of wine. Marg was engaged with us but not intrusive. The amenities were clean and in good working order.
If planning to go to Tuscon, Az or anywhere close this Casita is fabulous!!!
Fabulous host and hostess!!! Beautiful views from the balcony. Great location in Oro Valley. We have stayed in multiple VRBO properties and this definitely tops the list!!!
This place was perfect, from the views to the well appointed kitchen to the wonderful communication from Margaret. If you are looking to stay in Oro Valley this place checks all the boxes. Simply fantastic, comfortable, close to everything just unpack and relax!
The condo was beautifully decorated and so well stocked for our stay. The owners thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable, including fresh baked bread and a bottle of wine! I would highly recommend this property.
Our stay was wonderful. We have stayed in many vacation rentals, and this one was by far the most well appointed and comfortable. It has everything one could possibly need. The owners were very responsive and helpful. We will be staying there again.
We spent four nights at this beautiful condo in Tucson - comfortable, clean, and well stocked with little extras you may have forgotten to bring. Lovely view from the back deck. We would gladly stay here again!
Everything was perfect at this elegant retreat located in the beautiful Oro Valley. The condo is beautifully decorated with incredible attention to detail, modern convenience, and cleanliness.
Resort is lovely as well with a large heated pool, spa, and recreation room.
Thank you for the hospitality!
This place was perfect. The pictures are very accurate. It was very clean and comfortable. Great location. I always want a view of the mountains and we not only got that but we also watched the sun set on the very nice deck. The owners are wonderful to work with and responded to us quickly. We loved it so much we are planning on going back next year!
We truly appreciated our stay at Margaret's lovely casita! It was exceptionally clean and the kitchen was stocked with top notch kitchenware. Margaret is such a sweet lady. I enjoyed communicating with her during our stay. We would love to come back!
Thanks for this wonderful review. You were such thoughtful guests. We would love to host you again! We are glad Sweet Desert 🌵 Retreat met your expectations.
Well, provisioned, kitchen and entire unit, we had everything we needed and more. The pool and hot tub were excellent, and we loved having the bicycles to ride around the nature preserve. The evening views from the balcony of the sunset were amazing! Enjoyed listening to the birds in the morning sitting with tea and coffee on the deck. Margaret is an excellent host.
The property was nice, spacious, clean and cozy. The host Margaret was amazing!!! Her communication was exceptional. Margaret was very kind and very thoughtful throughout our stay. Wish we could have stayed longer and I will definitely return upon my next visit to Tucson.
Could not ask for better. The space was overly equipped and well stocked. Easy check in. Great communication from host. Bikes provided allowed me to enjoy the beautiful trails and scenery. Absolutely perfect.
This condo is the nicest and most well appointed I have stayed in. Marg the hostess is caring and kind. I highly recommend. I unfortunately had to have an extended stay 4 hours from home due to a family medical emergency and having such a nice clean comfy condo with such a caring host made such a huge difference 💕!
We can't say enough about what a wonderful experience this was.
Everything from the communications to the great greeting Margaret and Ted provide is done to perfection.
We were in the middle of a stressful move and walking into the condo provided us with a great "retreat".
There is nothing lacking in amenities in this property.
We are so glad that Sweet Desert Retreat was a reprieve in the middle of your move. Thank you for being perfect guests..and welcome to Arizona! Marg and Ted
The casita is so great that we are repeat visitors. Having a student at UofA means we are visiting Tucson several times a year. This is our first choice if it is available, and it should be yours too! Clean, quiet, comfortable, beautiful area, well maintained, nice little extras....it's all here. Marg always checks in to make sure everything is perfect, she really cares about the property and her guests.
We hit the jackpot! Super clean, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom - perfect! Special touches such as a bottle of wine, home-baked bread, jam, and a special welcome note were wonderful! We liked it so much after the first few hours we called the owners and booked for next year. The owners stopped by during our stay, what a delightful couple - we were like old friends in no time. Looking forward to next year!
It was wonderful to meet you both! Sweet Desert 🌵 Retreat will welcome you back next year! Enjoy the summer up north! -Marg
À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Margaret Willms
My husband and I purchased the casita 4 years ago to use as a getaway from the busy city. We would come and spend long weekends enjoying the Arizona sun, stargazing., wildlife, restaurants, and pool. We fell in love with the casita and the area because of the beautiful peaceful surroundings. When we recently retired and moved here full-time, we kept the casita because it was so special to us. We are now offering it to others who would like to take a breather from a busy life and regroup and refresh. We are living in Oro Valley within a mile of the casita. We are available should any issue arise during your stay. Our goal is to make your time here as delightful as it can be. You will feel welcome here!
Vistoso Resort Casitas is a safe, small and friendly community. The casita balcony looks out over green space with wildlife and gorgeous mountain views. Walking and biking trails abound. Paved and unpaved roads are plentiful for our cyclist guests. Our garage is safe and convenient for your use.
