1 Acre Estate Home,Mtn. Views,Pool,Billiards,Private Desert:Saguaro Sanctuary@Catalina Foothills

Experience Tucson's best area! Located 2 miles west of Tucson's famous Sabino Canyon in Tucson's "Catalina Foothills," this newer estate home features great privacy from neighbors on a 1-acre lot. It has 3 fireplaces, a picture-perfect view of the Catalina Mountains from the kitchen, a large swimming pool, a bird fountain in the backyard, excellent proximity to premier shopping and golfing, and is surrounded by protected Sonoran Desert where it's common to see desert wildlife.

The home is surrounded by iconic Sonoran desert vegetation such as saguaros, barrel and cholla cacti, mesquite, and palo verde trees.

Area: Located 3 miles west of Sabino Canyon and about ½ mile southwest of Ventana Canyon Club & Lodge, which offers world-class golfing and luxury spa services. The neighborhood features 1-acre estate lots. Major nearby cross streets are Kolb and Sunrise.

Not Good

Nice house and area, but the listing is way off. Charged for 10 guests and only had 7. Never gave the breakdown of adding the cost. Pool had mold throughout and they said a pool guy was showing up during our visit-(no show). Weeds throughout backyard, said a landscaping company was coming during our visit-(no show), beds broke some sitting on bricks, dog hair in beds, broken glass on floor upon arrival, left over laundry in washer and dryer, mop bucket and mop just left by back door, hair was in multiple showers, water did not drain while bathing. I have a lot more pictures than the allowed 8 too. Customer Service was horrible after explaining this. All they cared about was a bad review and said we will review you after!

Disappointed

This was one of the worst properties I’ve ever stayed at. I requested an early check-in by just one hour due to the holiday weekend, but they wanted to charge an exorbitant fee, so I opted to arrive at the scheduled 5 PM check-in time. Unfortunately, the property was not ready.When I arrived, a man claiming to be the cleaner was still there. However, I saw no active cleaning, and the bleach smell inside was overwhelming and uncomfortable. He said he was about to leave but remained for another 45 minutes. I contacted management to express that this was unacceptable, especially considering the late hour. By nearly 6 PM, we were ready to use the pool, but the cleaner was still there brushing it, preventing us from entering until management finally asked him to leave.The property itself was very disappointing. There were no washcloths or hand towels—only large towels. A pile of dirty laundry was left in the sink in the laundry room. The pool was filthy, and the pool equipment didn’t work. The entire place felt neglected and unclean.The microwave was so dirty I couldn’t use it, the kitchen trash can was half full, and the dishes seemed like they hadn’t been properly washed. The landscaping was also poorly maintained.For the high price we paid, the property did not meet expectations and was not worth the cost.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Got there early due to time zone changed from CTZone to MTZone to AZ time. Cleaner/construction era was there. I apologized for being early. He said no problem. I asked if I could just sit and watch TV and he said no problem. Messaged owner and explained early. I let my 2 service dogs in backyard and they found a dead small rat or similar that had been there a few days. Reported that to cleaner and asked it to be picked up now. It was a 5pm check in and the property was still a hot mess and was not going to be done in a long time. I told cleaner I was leaving now and not going to stay there due to the poor quality of the property. Unfortunately I did not take pictures. Evidently the owner owned many properties and had ladies that get their cleaning done on time. He offered to have them come over and help. Offered to send me a meal delivered. At this sorry point in time I just wanted out of that place. Of course no refund due on my poor choice to put in refund. At this point that did not even have any other choice but get away from sad situation. This review will probably get posted.
