Quiet desert getaway with beautiful views and heated pool, pet-friendly

Enjoy gorgeous views in every direction from this cozy hilltop home. Relax by the pool on the hot days or enjoy a night inside by the fire on those rare cold nights. Conveniently located about 15 minutes from many of Tucson’s most popular attractions, including the UofA and Sabino Canyon, you’ll still enjoy plenty of quiet and privacy on this 1 acre property. Recently renovated, this home is perfect for a family coming to visit a college student, girlfriends looking for some sunshine and fun, or a group of friends in town to bike, hike, or run. Comfortable and well-appointed, you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing, refreshing, and fun getaway. Dog-friendly.

In addition to sleeping 7 comfortably (king, queen, and 3 twin beds) there is a queen size sofa bed and a twin rollaway bed to sleep 3 additional guests.

The pool is equipped with a heater and can be heated in the winter, upon request. An additional daily heating fee of $40/day is required to cover the added gas expenses. When booking, let us know if you would like the pool heated for your stay!

Sorry, home is not available for events or large parties.

Property entryway is equipped with a video/audio Ring doorbell.

Terrific Tucson Stay

Wonderful place to stay for a family getaway. Kids loved there were toys, books, games, and plenty of pool floaties. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to make a meal large or small. Great views all around the property and quiet neighborhood.

Great VRBO!

Family flew into Tucson to attend a University of Arizona graduation and this listing was perfect! Andrea was easy to communicate with and the house was spacious enough for us all and had so many fun amenities - we loved bird watching. If you’re thinking of booking it, do it! You won’t regret it

Spring break

Wonderful time at this desert oasis. We paid a little extra to have the pool heated this spring trip and it was well worth it. We enjoyed lounging by pool and taking un the perfect spring temperatures. The house is decorated so tastefully and comes with everything you could imagine needing for a fun family getaway. The neighborhood is great for sunset walks too!! Thank you so muxh for a great stay.

Beautiful and relaxing

I had a wonderful stay at Andrea's. My husband, two boys, and in-laws all stayed together and appreciated the beautiful patio space and pool, which we had heated and was perfect in the mid-afternoon in February. The inside space was also wonderful and stocked with everything that we needed. Quiet and scenic neighborhood.

Beautiful home in great desert location

The house is beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice. Well stocked kitchen with every appliance ever needed. Comfortable beds. Big, deep and warm pool. Spacious outdoor areas with great city and mountain view. The house is perched on a hill and it has a great feeling privacy and tranquility. We are definitely thinking of booking again next year!

Great Location!!

We had a great stay at this property! Andrea was a good host and accommodated all of our needs. The back patio / pool area is fantastic, and you can’t beat the Mountain Views. The location was great for quick access to several great hiking spots. We loved visiting Catalina State park.

Wonderfully stocked home for a family stay

We stayed here over the New Year to check out Tucson and do some local hiking. We loved the home layout (spacious), and it was perfect for our family of four (two adults and two teens). The decor was lovely, the home was incredibly clean, and it was stocked the best of any rental I have ever stayed in—soaps, shampoos, conditioners, coffees, even tampons and dog supplies. Overall, very thoughtful with lots of personal touches, wonderful views, outdoor spaces, and even was decorated for the holidays. Thank you for a great stay!

Wonderful Home With Views

We had an incredible graduation weekend staying in Andrea's home. First and foremost the views from the back patio were amazing. The home is updated with an open floor plan, excellent for group gatherings. Another wonderful thing about this house is that it had all the supplies you would need for a long weekend or week. It is also located close to grocery stores for all your other needs. We would definitely stay again!
