We really enjoyed this property! We love the area. The house was very comfortable. It is dated, but we happen to enjoy these furnishings, especially the antique lamps. The artwork was lovely as well. The owners were so nice and very gracious hosts. We would stay there again.
This house has a great pool area and really nice views. It was clean and comfortable. Its also in a very peaceful neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay there again.
9 family members from Michigan, 4 from California. The couples stayed at my home, I stayed with the 20 somethings in the rental. Lots of room, everyone had their on space. The kids loved the view and pool, one even braved a dip. A great time was had by all! Yhank you Yvonne and Billy!
We had a wonderful time at this Tucson very large home and rented for 2 months. The sunsets over downtown were spectacular even with unfortunate weather.
The house is in need of some updating and is being done per the owner as funds become available. Anyone owning a home understands.
The beds in the bedrooms were very very comfortable with brand new mattresses.
We loved this neighborhood also….very quiet, beautiful homes, and nicely paved roads.
Thanks to Yvonne and Billy for sharing their home.

We pulled up to the house and it looked like it was abandoned. Entering the house we were greeted by dead cockroaches in many rooms and food on the table. The owner was dismissive ("expect cockroaches in the desert") and VRBO gave us the run around. We would have fled to the nearest hotel but didn't want to eat the cost of the house. We did stay the full time and were reasonably comfortable. But the outside is derelict to the point of being dangerous and the 80s carpet (yes, I grew up in a house down the street so I know what the original house looked like and when changes were done) was hard to walk on without cringing. This is all to say, the photos on the house are deceptive, the reviews seem inflated, and though the neighborhood is wonderful, prepare for a very dark, dangerous and dated experience.
House is located in a nice quiet neighborhood with a good view overlooking the city to the south. It's a large home with many seating areas inside as well as outside by the pool. The pool deck is a great place for an afternoon cocktail. You can tell from the pictures and other reviews that the furnishings are dated, but everything was clean and comfortable. The sunken shower in the main BR is unique with the tree! Hot water to the bathrooms will take a while to arrive, but eventually does. The host was responsive to questions I had and I would stay here again.
Older beautiful home in prestigious foothill area of Tucson. Stores, shops, pubs just minutes away. LOVED THE POOL! Would stay again when we return to area.
Absolutely beautiful property with stunning views of the Mountains and of the city! Very close to the local grocery and restaurants. Not very far from Sabino Canyon, Tanque Verde Falls and Sajuaro National Park East. Extremely easy check in and hosts were great! If I’m ever in Tucson again, I would definitely love to stay again!!
This is a beautiful property. The neighborhood is very nice and I was happy to be close to my daughter’s home.
We encountered a few minor issues, but they were dealt with quickly. The property manager responded to any questions I had immediately. I hope this property is available The next time I come to Tucson.
The house was very nice and well layed out but could use some up dating.
It is well situated for going out hiking and other excursions. It is also close to shopping and restaurants. We happened to go to Tucson when it actually snowed there…..unexpected but we still had fun.
The owner was very responsive and helpful regarding a couple of small issues that arose during our stay. Unfortunately the overall property is very dated with a number of maintenance/safety issues that were disappointing.
Disappointed the pool had no heat,we planned on a few days to relax. Also the stairs rails to pool were very unstable and some of our party couldn't make it down around the over grown cactus. Many of the plugs in the house either didn't work or the plugs fell out of the wall. The fire pit had no gas and was unable to be enjoyed because of scary stairs. Nice property in need of update
This home is an amazing place to get away for some quality relaxing time. There are groceries and restaurants close by, however a short 15 minute drive further into Tucson opens up a plethora of amazing options from budget friendly to elegance. The views from the home are spectacular and the rugs and paintings of the home provide a very warm feeling that more updated "modern" environments lack in my opinion. If you are wanting to stay in a home that is updated in every sense, "ready to sell", and perfect in every way this may not be for you. But if you are looking for a beautiful place to meet up with friends and or family and spend some time in a great neighborhood with a lovely pool and even lovelier views, this is the home for you. This home has been described by some people as "lived in", I however wouldn't hesitate to rent it again on our next visit to Tucson, provided Yvonne and Billy would have us back. We really enjoyed our stay.

The good, the bad and the ugly
The good: the view! Great outdoor space right outside the living room and below by the pool; the location, up in the foothills, very convenient location. The bad: this house is really tired. Hasn't been cared for / kept up in a long time. The ugly: the place was really dirty. Dog hair on furniture, orange carpet with Rugs over it, pretty sure hadn't been cleaned in a while. Light fixtures were full of dirt and dust, toaster oven hadn't been cleaned after many uses. Grill was filthy. Bathroom faucets were crusty. Every closet and drawer had junk in them. An old shoe, a broken TV, old curtain rods, used drapes, used masks in bathroom drawer, etc.
This property was as described. The pool is beautiful and even though it was too cold to actually enjoy, much to my grandchildren's dismay, our family spent lots of time in the pool area. Come to find out, most people do not heat their pools in January in Tucson as it is extremely expensive. The property owner led us to believe that heating the pool was possible, but after my cancelation date had passed we found that it was not ever going to be heated as some major repairs were going to be needed in order to make that happen. The barbecue grill needed special attention as well. The propane tank attachment was leaking and had to be monitored or your propane was going to disappear rather quickly. Similar issues with the fire pit table. It looked nice but needed mechanical maneuvering to get it to work. Coffee pot needs to be replaced and some plumbing issues needed to be addressed but we still had a wonderful stay. The beds are all comfortable and there was plenty of linens and towels. There are even two large sofas that will work
as beds if needed. The house is awesome but has been seriously neglected for some time. Thank goodness my husband is good at fixing things and making them work. That is a requirement when renting this property.

Property is misrepresented on VRBO
For sure, there are liability issues at this property that the owner is not taking care of. The stairs going down to the pool are steep and the handrails are broken and hanging from the walls. The actual steps in to the pool, the final step, is sloped and so (without any warnings to occupants) your last step slips your foot out from under you and you fall back into the steps. The electrical work done outside of the house is questionable, as zip cord has been used (thats two wire, neutral and hot NO GROUND) to wire exterior lighting. Wiring to the pool light switch was exposed and just sticking out of the switchbox.
Beyond that we found the property to be in a general state of poor maintenance. Electrical plugs don't work, switches don't turn things on, doors are missing, dead brush and rotting plants are around the property. The pool lights don't work, the outdoor lights around the pool don't work save for one, that has an extension cord running up to the house where you have to plug it in to get one bulb lit around the pool area. The pictures listed on VRBO show a nice wooden gazebo area - that thing is falling down on itself and has a DANGER sign and brush thrown about it.
I can say the house has a beautiful new roof, and it has a very nice view, but that's about it.
We would have taken a refund and checked into a hotel after the first night we were so unhappy, we actually ended up leaving a day early and eating a night we paid for because we didn't like the property and dreaded staying there another day.
We would not book this property again.
