Absolutely Excellent Property!

I have stayed at a lot of rentals and VRBOs, but this was one of the best ever. Not only was the host great with communication; the property itself was very clean, well appointed, and overall super welcoming to our stay. To make it even better, the view was just amazing. Definitely recommend for your stay in Tucson!

Beautiful Home & Location

This house is just lovely. Very clean, comfortable with everything you need. The owner has clearly taken a good deal of time to add so many little details that make you feel at home. Owner is very responsive and the photos really do match the house.The property is seated on an amazing lot where you have spectacular views of both mountains and sunsets. Pool is beautiful. Beautiful desert landscaping. We can't say enough wonderful things about this property. We had a wonderful three weeks here and hated to leave. We hope to rent this property again!

Wonderful vacation

Beautiful and well stocked home with incredible views! We enjoyed lots of outside pool time and amazing sunsets every evening. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the host was very quick to respond to questions. The neighborhood feels secluded and is very quiet but still close to all the amenities. Would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

Luxurious Foothills paradise

This home is everything it was described to be and more, starting with the spectacular view walking up to the front door. The home has a beautiful flow with lots of inviting common spaces, and the decor was so creative and stylish. The overall impression: luxurious and pristine. I want to especially mention the kitchen, which was without a doubt the best equipped VRBO I’ve ever rented, and the owner has thoughtfully provided spices, oils, vinegar, etc. The pool also was a welcome amenity with its warm water, even in November. (And, yes, we remembered to cover it after our swim -- not a difficult task.) We needed to communicate with the owner on a couple of matters, and she replied promptly and resolved our issues to our complete satisfaction. Highly recommend!

Tucson Girls Trip

What a fabulous home! It was beautifully decorated, lots of space and a gorgeous pool in the back. With five of us on the trip, we had plenty of rooms and beds for everyone. The kitchen was so nice and everything was fully stocked. The sunsets from the front patio were epic! We will stay here again next time we are in Tucson.

Perfect for our family reunion.

Our group was three out-of-town couples gathering in Tucson for a family reunion. The house was perfect for us--great condition, great location, fully equipped and very comfortable. Leticia is a great host, very responsive and helpful. We would choose this house again with no hesitation and with no shopping for alternatives.

Perfect place

Home owner was so communicative and helpful. The house ( while big for just 2 people) was comfortable and felt like home by day 2. We were in town visiting sick family and this home was our oasis . We were there during heat wave ( 110 every day) so we used pool early in the morning and then in the house for cool AC. The location was perfect . Will rent again if we need a place in Tucson.

Gorgeous home, gracious host, perfect stay.

The pictures do not do justice to the beauty of the location, the views, the incredible art from around the world, or to how well-appointed the home is. The layout and size of the rooms allows everyone to spread out. The outside of the property and the pool were well-maintained and very clean. The hosts communicated check-in notes and property notes clearly and were available to answer questions. If we return to Tucson, this will be our first choice!

Celebration of Life Together

There are neighbors, yet the setting/design is very private, the views beautiful; we were happy to tour less . . . and just stay 'home', celebrating sixty years of life together. The only 'aging in place' concern for our group, in their mid-70s to early 80s, were single steps at a handful of room entrances . . . that called for our attention as we acclimated to the home. So, we would suggest noting this feature in the vrbo writeup to help people make a wise decision . . . in the name of safety. We would be happy to return to this vrbo.

Desert Oasis

Wow! This house is amazing! It was extremely well stocked and the perfect location for a vacation in Tucson. On days we chose to sightsee, we were close to local attractions and restaurants. Other days were spent relaxing by the pool and sharing a meal on the patio. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular! The decor was interesting and provided spirited conversations. The host, Leticia, is helpful and responsive to any need you might have. I would highly recommend the "Art Filled Catalina Foothills View" home!

House was gorgeous. Beautifully furnished, thoughtfully decorated, spacious and included every amenity possible. Loved looking at the art and enjoyed the reading material. Especially loved the concrete floors. Daytime mountain view was inspiring, evening city view sparkling. Enjoyed the pool. Saw a tarantula. Quiet and private. A stellar property. Thank you for allowing us to experience a wonderful stay.
