Great little house!
We loved our stay in this cute little house. It was cozy and felt like home with all of the conveniences you are used to. It was close to the bike paths which we used every day and shopping. We ate in for two of our nights which was easy to do with Whole Foods near by. We would highly recommend staying here!

A lovely spot
This 2 bedroom home is beautifully furnished, and very comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant. It has a nice layout, and we particularly loved the beautifullly landscaped backyard and the large and functional ramada. The laundry and dryer are conveniently located in the back yard. We spent several weeks there and we both felt right at home.

Cute house in a sweet neighborhood
My friend and I attend the Tucson Gem Faire and we have finally found the perfect place to stay. Jim’s house was clean, beautiful and perfectly roomy for the two of us. The beds were comfy and the kitchen met all our needs. When we first arrived, we mixed up a couple of Margaritas and sat on the front porch bench. Neighbors walked by with their dogs and every one of them waived and smiled — a good sign for the neighborhood. The house decor was lovely with a combination of Southwest and NYC prints. My only regret about the back yard is that we didn’t spend any time there. We will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful experience!
The pictures and information in this listing are exactly what we found on arrival. Jim communicated kindly and thoroughly via both email and text. We felt the property manager or the host were available should any need arise, but the place was so well-appointed, we needed nothing!! The home was very clean - I mean, spotless. The home had every amenity you would need. It was well-located for our visit with family and for seeing some attractions. We had 4 adults stay here comfortably and would definitely like to stay here again - maybe when it's a little warmer and we can enjoy hanging out in the gorgeous backyard! Thanks so much, Jim!

My husband and I stayed at this lovely property while visiting our daughter for Family Weekend at U of AZ. The home was beautifully decorated, very clean with a well-stocked kitchen. I loved having my morning coffee on the patio in the backyard--such a peaceful setting! Our host-Jim--was great--very communicative and helpful!

Great property, great location
This place is as advertised, a desert oasis. Jim, the property manager, was easy to work with and very communicative. The property was spotless, and extremely accommodating. Our 3 year old was a little harder to entertain, as there weren't any games for her age, but wasn't a problem after a quick trip to Target. The location is great, just a short drive away from all the main sites in Tucson. We prepared dinner at the property twice, and had everything we needed already stocked in the kitchen. Met both neighbors who were very pleasant. We accidentally left our minivan sliding door open all night, and woke up to our car never being disturbed, so we felt very safe staying in the neighborhood. We definitely recommend a stay at this property if you are headed to Tucson. We will be back when visiting Tucson again. Thank you Jim.

Perfect place to stay!
We really enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect home base for our time in Tucson as it had all the amenities we needed. We were 2 couples and an infant and there was plenty of space. Everything was very clean when we arrived. The kitchen was well equipped and perfect for making our meals that we ate at the house. It was great to have access to a washer and dryer to do laundry. There were very clear and detailed instructions about the house and information about the local attractions/restaurants provided in a book and via email prior to our arrival. All in all we would recommend this home to those traveling to Tucson and would stay again next time we come to visit!

Immaculate, comfortable home
Spotless home that looks exactly as pictured on VRBO. Excellent communication with host. Comfortable beds and furniture. Had everything we needed and more. Only downsides were low-ish water pressure in shower, and the neighbor's motion detector light that came on repeatedly throughout the night. (Light directed at our bedroom windows.) Neither of those things would deter us from staying here again, however. We absolutely loved everything else about this property. Highly recommend!

Enjoyable stay in Tucson
My wife and I stayed for about a week in January, 2023 and thoroughly enjoyed our time exploring the Tucson area. The house was exceptionally clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was fine for us except getting out onto the main thoroughfares was a bit tricky. Otherwise we had easy access to the various sites to visit without any problems as well as to grocery stores for supplies. All in all, we would gladly recommend this property as a home base to use while visiting Tucson.
