Lovely neighborhood and the property was charming and very comfortable.

We were centrally located nearTucson, many attractions to choose from and, a short walk away from the lovely community of Tubac. Shopping was great and it was a marvelous place to 'chill out". The sun was out every day except one. People in the neighborhood were very friendly.The kitchen is stocked with utensils and is wonderful for someone who likes to cook.

One of the best...

We enjoyed the location: Close to the De Anza Trail, a healthy walk into Tubac, very close to the pool and hot tub. It was the time of year when mornings are cold and days are warm so we appreciated both the fireplace and the pool. House is very clean and neat. What would have made the stay perfect was more usable outdoor spaces: The outdoor furniture (rooftop and patio) need to be replaced. We had folding chairs with us because another review had commented on this, but it seems like an easy fix to make. Would stay again. Indoor furniture and decor all very nice.

This Townhome is AMAZING

I will HIGHLY recommend staying at this Townhome. Jen is a great host & the home is immaculate. Clean, super cozy & has everything you need. My husband and I agree this is the best place we have ever stayed at in our many travels. It has both beautiful indoor & outdoor spaces and within walking distance to the historic Tubac Town Center. Thank you Jen for making this such a pleasant stay.

Great place in Tubac

Cute rental in Tubac. Perfect for a couple. We stayed 2 nights and found it very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the bed was comfortable. It has a lovely patio and sky deck but it was pretty chilly to sit outside in the evening. Easy walk or drive into Tubac. Highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay again!

This was our first visit to Tubac and our first Vrbo rental. We were extremely pleased with our experience. Jan’s communication was exceptional. Her home was wonderful, as pictured and as described. My wife and I spent two nights and it was a perfect getaway spot that was quiet and clean. Tubac is a lovely little community and I highly recommend staying at Jan’s little nest. Thanks Jan!

Loved the outdoor spaces and walkability

We especially liked the rooftop space and the enclosed patio area. We were able to see a great view of the western sky, including the planet Mercury low in the sky right at sunset. Dark skies matter to us, so the location was perfect. I loved being able to easily walk to Tubac and to have access to the de Anza Trail. The saltwater pool felt fantastic after hiking. There is a lap lane for swimmers. The home had everything we needed, very quiet and relaxing.

Simply the Best Nest

We were thrilled with the property and location and had a lovely stay there. The place was spotlessly clean and pleasingly decorated. It also felt very comfortable and safe. We walked our little dog at various times and neighbors all were very friendly. The upstairs veranda is especially nice in the evening for sunset or moon and a glass of wine! It is easy to access the cute little town, wonderful historical locations, and various restaurants and cultural locations. The space has good energy. Thank you for sharing it with us and for excellent communication.

What a gem!

So glad we found this little gem in Tubac, AZ. This condo has everything - a full kitchen, a washer & dryer, a smart TV to watch just about anything you want, a super comfy bed, and don't forget the delightful rooftop balcony to enjoy a drink and gaze at the stars. Even the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash smells amazing! And it's quiet - which we really appreciate. This location provides easy access to the town center, as well as being walking minutes away from the De Anza Trail. And what a beautiful trail it is! A great place to "get lost in nature," yet, not get lost. Jan is amazing and we communicated throughout the stay - she's wonderful at providing tips for dining, birding, or anything else you may want to know about the area. We had such a lovely time visiting and will definitely return to Best Nest!

Cute Place and great location!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this lovely townhome in Tubac! We were so grateful to be allowed to have our dogs with us as well! This townhome community is quite a gem in Tubac! It was walking distance to town and we were able to enjoy the art festival. There was plenty of room for us to bring our wire crates for our dogs to keep them comfy and safe when we left the home and lots of space to walk them in the neighborhood. The host was very responsive and easy to connect with. She offered delicious whole bean coffee and even provides some head lamps for dark evening walks. The bed was comfy to sleep in and everything was as pictured in the photos. We did not have time to take advantage of the beautiful heated pool and spa! There is also a BBQ area and gym to use! We would definitely recommend this place to stay for a visit in Tubac!
