Perfect for families

This location is great for families. The casita allowed for older family members some private and quiet space.

Fantastic Vacation Home

After seeing the photos, we were excited to reserve this house in the desert. The photos don’t do it justice. This place is unbelievable with stunning views in every direction. First class accommodations in every aspect. We will be back!!

Great house.

We had a wonderful time at the Oro Valley Estates home. The views were fabulous and the house was comfortable and relaxing. Our first visit to Tucson and we just loved it, so many great trails to hike and even a folk festival downtown. Too chilly to swim, but we did enjoy the hot tub. Everything was in good working order.

UofA Graduation -Family Celebration

Our family of 6 (adults) attended our daughter’s graduation from UofA this week and had a lovely stay at Hopdown. The layout of the property provided ample space for us all to enjoy plenty of quality time together, as well as areas to retreat for quiet time, nature walks, and naps poolside. The home is well equipped with all necessities for a comfortable stay and we hope to find a reason to return again someday soon.

Gorgeous Views!

We had a wonderful stay in Mark's beautiful house. It was very comfortable for 5 of us. The kitchen was well stocked with all you need to cook and entertain. It was our son's college graduation and we had a few folks up to the house to celebrate. It had the perfect layout for visiting in the kitchen as well as the best part of the property, the back yard. The views of the mountains as the sun set was stunning. They turned an orange color that was spectacular. Everything about the house made our stay relaxing and enjoyable.

Atua Place is absolutely incredible.

It was actually better than the photos. The back patio with the pool was fantastic. There are plenty of places outside for dining, cocktails and lounging. There are many birds and great birdsong. Inside is thoughtfully decorated with tasteful details everywhere. The kitchen is well stocked and roomy with plenty of counter space. The master bedroom has French doors to the pool deck as well as an amazing bathroom with a deep soaking tub overlooking the valley. The neighborhood is beautiful, neighbors are friendly, and our host was wonderful. He stopped by to see if we needed anything and to let us know he was available 24/7. We can't wait to return to Atua Place. The only thing I didn't like about it was leaving.

Wonderful time at the property

My wife and I, our three adult children and their partners stayed at the property between December 21st and 28th 2019. We had a wonderful stay. The property is basically a mini resort. It is private with wonderful outdoor areas and views of the mountains. The kitchen/living room in the main house provides a large common area where we could all comfortably spend time together. The two separate houses allowed everyone to retreat to their own space at the end of the day. The property has four very nice bedrooms (particularly the master suite in the main house). One room that does not show up in the pictures is the den in the main house, a nice bright working space. The only negative is the lack of a dining area. However, this is more than compensated for by the many positive features of the property. We would stay at the property again and definitely recommend it for group of 8.

Enjoyed the Stay with Caveats

House is lovely. Kitchen was well-stocked with paper towels, cleaning supplies, garbage bags etc. which is always a huge plus. House was clean and checkout procedure was straightforward, not like some houses where it feels I am doing the housekeepers' job. The home does need bath mats. The drawbacks were dealing with the pool cover which was cumbersome to operate, lots of burned out bulbs, no extra blankets or pillows in the house, and we were instructed to use towels from the cabinets and not the decorative ones on the rack - there were plenty in the cabinets, but then there is no place to hang used towels! We experienced two issues in the home - the hot tub started to turn green while we were there and then when I was reporting that, I let the owner know the dishwasher was not anchored to the cabinet. When I called, the vibe I got was that he was inconvenienced and I should have known to call his pool person and handyman directly, so that was off-putting. Also, an important thing to note is that the house check-out time is listed at 11am on VRBO and 10am in the house instruction book. We had to depart really early, but if I was making travel plans based on the VRBO information, it would have been very inconvenient to lose the extra hour in the morning, so just be aware. I think 10am is super early for a check-out given that check-in is not until 4pm.

Fun entertaining house but needs TLC

Attended a U of A graduation and Had our young adult kids stay in casita and us in the main house .Main house had nice size kitchen but guest bedroom had a noisy ceiling fan , master had a missing smoke detector and an uncovered light on the shower stall. In casita there was a smoke detector just hanging by the wire. More comfy couch in the casita. It’s a great house but needs some touch ups . Pool area was clean warm and enjoyable with built in grill. Had many fake silk plants outside which looked like dead plants which defeats the purpose. Private and cozy area and has potential just needs attention .

Beautiful Property

My wife, our two dogs and I stayed at "Oro Valley House" for a week over New Year's. We had a great experience and would gladly stay here again. The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood of similar upscale properties. The exterior is beautifully landscaped, with the "back yard" including a heated pool (still a little chilly in January) and a hot tub (perhaps a little overdosed with chlorine). There are comfortable outdoor seating and dining areas. The back patio area is enclosed with a wall, enabling dog owners to let their pets out without worries, albeit using care to collect any doggy "souvenirs". Finally, the view overlooking Oro Valley is beautiful, particularly at night. The interior of the house offers generous seating areas. Our favorite was the family room off the kitchen, with a gas fireplace--Very cozy in the colder months. The kitchen is adequately equipped, although plates and flatware are the usual hodgepodge found in many rental properties. Beds and baths are well provisioned with linens, soaps, etc. Communication with the rental agency was straightforward, with the only minor glitch in the stay being addressed promptly. Despite some small quibbles, we would be happy to return.

Great Getaway!!

Perfect place to get away. Great views, LOTS of space! Very clean, up-to-date appliances. Kitchen has a ton of room to cook! This place is ALL on one floor, no stairs, so it has great access for everyone! The pool was chilly, but nice!! After breakfast, we let lose in the hot-tub!! I would suggest bringing music/speaker. We used our phone speakers, regretted not bringing the Bluetooth. Has everything else you can think of. Andy, the property manager was very responsive, answered any questions I had. Even though Andy was present and available, it felt like we had the place to ourselves. A true getaway!

Nope

First things first- the door code did not work when we arrive to get into the house. Had to text two times and then finally I called and got an answer after a half an hour. The place is not up to code and very unclean. There’s so many things are wrong with this house. The monsoons came through and I contacted the property manager to let them know that there was trees down, galvanized roofing down from the neighbors sheds, and etc (just to be kind). A day and a half later somebody shows up at seven in the morning to clean up everything. I contacted the property manager said it’s way too early for people on vacation for somebody to the outside my door (which literally did not have any coverings to the bedrooms) and he said that the owner was the one who set it up. Excuses, excuses… The bottom line is would I ever stay here again??? That’s a big fat NOPE

Sooooo beautiful and relaxing!!!

Our family of 5 adults rented this property for a week. There were 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths which allowed for privacy for us all. The house is clean, spacious, comfortable, and has the best views from the pool/hot tub area. We did go out to eat a few times however we took advantage of the kitchen and grill. It was nice to be able to fix our own meals and enjoy them at our own leisurely pace. Because of a rise in COVID cases, it was nice to have that option as well. There are grocery stores, restaurants and many fun things to do close by. There is also an emergency room which I unfortunately had to utilize when I fell and broke my ankle. The master bedroom with the king size bed, attached bathroom and TV came in handy on that last day for that reason! One of the property owners stopped by and that was very nice. We discovered that we had both grown up in small towns in MN just 17 miles apart! I would highly recommend renting this property. I do not think you would be disappointed!!

Beautiful desert property!

What a wonderful stay! Very clean and well-cared for property. Beautiful artwork throughout, comfortable furniture and beds, fully stocked kitchen, and a resort-like pool with entertainment area. Attention to detail and an artistic vibe throughout. Can’t recommend this property enough. Plenty of room for families (and dogs) to spread out and enjoy the amenities. We will definitely book a return visit. Thank you for sharing this lovely home!

Property is run down and somewhat unclean

I took lots of video for the property manager to highlight all that was wrong with this visit. - the property was very dirty on the outside. It was clear no one swept, used a blower, or cleaned the outdoor furniture. When we arrived, I spent most of my time sweeping, vacuuming and cleaning (it was a drag) - the leg on the couch fell off when my mother sat on the couch - the kitchen faucet handle was so loose and rotated around when trying to turn it on - the oven would was not working properly. It would turn on but not get to temperature so baking/cooking was not successful. We baked corn bread for over an hour and it still was uncooked in the middle :( - the dishwasher was broken. On the third day it was replaced. We arrived on a Wed and the dishwasher was replaced on a Wed even though I let the manager know it was inoperative that Sunday (lots of washing and drying dishes) - the head boards on two of the beds are not connected to anything so they literally fall forward. I was told to push the mattress up against the headboard to solve the issue - the master bath toilet seat was so loose it rotated when you sat on it - the pool area was so dirty with sand and confetti from a previous guest. I spent an inordinate amount of time sweeping I sent videos to Mark, who was kind and responsive. On Wednesday, a gentleman arrived to replace the dishwasher, fix the couch, the toilet in the master and looked at the headboards. We paid a lot of money to stay at this VRBO. It was a very disappointing stay. The property has lots of potential but is run down.
