A perfect Tucson retreat

As an active couple with active friends, we were looking for a centrally located, clean, quiet and attractive home with easy access to biking, hiking and Tucson attractions. Tucson'a gateway scored a perfect 100 on all counts. The kitchen was extremely well furnished, the beds comfortable and setting conducent to welcoming sunset from the patio. After 20 years and dozens of VRBO experiences, this was the highlight.

Tucson oasis

This is a wonderful home with a great view, especially the sun setting over the mountains in the distance while sitting on the deck or in the hot tub, cocktail at the ready. Very clean, yet inviting and quite comfortable. Nice rustic feel but still has the tech you need if you wish. Ample space: living area, kitchen, bedrooms and baths are all well laid out and ample. I would easily stay there again.

Desert Oasis

It checked all of our boxes. Pool is a must when visiting AZ; temperatures reach well over 100 degrees The house has a very sophisticated HVAC system that keeps it very cool all the time. The neighborhood and location is also a plus. Near Campbell street which is a major thoroughfare's to The University of AZ and downtown. also near a mall with grocery stores and very high end shops and nice restaurants.

Oasis in the Foothills

We loved, loved this Oasis. We appreciated the separate private master suites for quiet and privacy as much as the areas where we could easily convene to enjoy the early morning sunrises and sunsets. Views from every room are relaxing. Garage access was hugely convenient. Perfectly appointed home interior with Hacienda and Adobe furniture and colors. Host Andrew was available and helpful. I would absolutely return.

FABULOUS HOUSE & LOCATION: Perfect for a long stay

The house provides an incredibly comfortable and luxurious accommodation for a long stay. The interior furnishings are pleasant, warm and unobtrusive. The furniture, beds, chairs, and tables are well maintained. The kitchen is well-equipped for gourmet family cooking, as well as entertaining. The layout of the house is perfect for guests, having a private space with king bedroom and bath, and another bedroom for kids. There are two separate working areas for offices. The Master Bedroom suite is spacious and comfortable. The four different exterior spaces provide great views from all directions, with shaded and sunny areas throughout the day. The hot tub, grill and fire pit are easy-to-use. The outside is private, quiet and filled with birdsongs.

Wonderful Family Get Together

The home itself was beautiful and very comfortable. Plenty of towels, extra blankets and pillows. The kitchen was fairly well stocked for cooking with most utensils and pots and pans for cooking meals. All of the four bedrooms and beds were very comfortable. The indoor areas of the home were absolutely fabulous, but the outdoor property was in desperate need of care. Most of the bushes were overgrown. It was difficult to use the hot tub without brushing up against the bushes that were overgrown. The hot tub also wasn’t very hot, so that was a bit disappointing. We loved everything else about the property and would recommend this home.

Beautiful home, great communication with the owner, I wish it was a little cleaner.

This home is beautiful. Great bedds and linens. Plenty of extra towels. I love the pool was fenced since we have a little one. Beautiful furnishing and decor. Bonus we could park in the garage and could do laundry. An act of nature caused a power outage while we were there, and the owner was very helpful. Cons. The pool could have been cleaned and hot tub was dirty. There was a ton of wasp landing in the pool every day we were there. There were crying on the floor under the table when we walked in. Remotes and faucets had finger prints as well as faucets so we ended up desenfecting ourselves. Overall we would stay again as the owners were very helpful and the location.

Nice home and pool but not for those with mobility issues

Nicely furnished home very much in Tucson architectural design. The pool is very nice however we had issues while there. The host did refund some of the cost for the heating. The layout is such that all in your party can spread out and have privacy. The downside for us is that there are steps everywhere - both inside and outside the home. Getting out of the home to walk down to the pool was such that one in our party never made it to the pool or spa as it was too dangerous due to mobility issues. The path to get to the keypad to turn on the spa is uneven rocks. There was no mention in the home description nor any of the reviews that numerous steps needed to be navigated. We would not have rented this home had we known it was not for anyone with mobility issues.

Nice view, great outdoor space

The location of the house was great – very quiet with beautiful views of the sunset and cityscape. The beds were comfortable and the outdoor space was amazing! We loved the hot tub and heated pool, as well as the many terraces for relaxing. It was also nice to have the garage to park our car (but watch that step down into the kitchen!). Speaking of stairs – they are everywhere inside, as others have noted, so this may not be the house for those with mobility issues. In addition, the living room felt cramped for a group of six, and two of the bathrooms were pretty dated. The kitchen was fairly well stocked with the basic pots and pans. Communication with the host proved to be a bit frustrating. Despite prepayment for a heated pool, it was overlooked, and the host tried to charge me again for that amenity. When I pointed out I had already paid, he agreed to refund $100 for the loss of one pool day (still haven’t seen that refund but hoping it appears soon). The host sent emails prior to our arrival, which was helpful, but responses to the email bounced back. I then sent a message via VRBO about a possible late checkout, and he did not respond until a week later – the day before we were scheduled to leave. All in all, we had a nice stay, but I don't know if we'd stay here again.
