The sisters trip

We really enjoyed the house. It was beautiful just like the pictures. There was a couple things that I’d really didn’t like when you wanted to use the hot tub you had to call the property manager and they had to turn it on for you so you couldn’t just turn it on when you wanted to same way with the pool then it took so long for the pool to get heated would’ve been nicer It would’ve been nicer if we could’ve just turned the hot tub in the pool on when we were ready instead of calling the property manager outside of that house was gorgeous. Everything was nice and clean. The managers was very accommodating and very nice.

Wonderful, large house with a fabulous yard.

My family stayed here with a list of plans for touring Tucson and the surrounding area. The house, pool, and yard were so relaxing we scrapped half the list and just enjoyed the house. The house is a short drive to downtown as well as Saguaro National Park and the Desert Museum and is located in the Suguaro forest with spectacular desert views.

Nice stay overall

The property was in a beautiful, private setting, but close enough to a grocery store to be convenient. Also very close to Old Tucson, the Desert Museum and Saguaro National Park. House was clean and spacious. We rented this property specifically because of the pool and jacuzzi. That part was not so convenient. We had to contact the owner each time to heat the pool and/or jacuzzi.. Renters cannot control that on their own. The first night it took 3 hours for the owner to respond so that we could use the jacuzzi. Big nuisance! Otherwise, nice stay overall.

Fantastic base for Tucson

We had three generations at the house aging from 30 to 80. The listing is accurate and if anything doesn't convey the size of the living area. It's huge with high ceilings. The accessible walk in shower in the master suite was perfect for my parents While the weather was a bit cool for swimming, Armando was able to program the jacuzzi for evening use. The pool, putting green and outdoor areas are perfect for all ages. This is our first Vrbo rental. We were perfectly satisfied and highly recommend this house.

Amazing Stay at this Home

This home exceeded our expectations. We VRBO often and you never know just from pictures and descriptions what you really rent till you get there. This home was very clean and decorated with beautiful decor and tile throughout. The Kitchen is huge and very well stocked, with everything you need to cook meals. Everyone was very pleased with the comfort of their beds, none of us had back issues after a week's stay. Property was quiet and had great views from the front and pool area. Communication with the owner was excellent, he was very prompt and friendly. The only problem we had, was we couldn’t stay longer! Thank you Armando for a great stay, we will be back.

Perfect 5 Star stay

The views here were incredible. The house was in pristine condition and everything was so well thought out. It’s was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy multiple views. The property manager was very on top of things. The beds were super comfortable & the outside pool area was the best. Close to Tucson airport. Will highly recommend.
