Great house & location

Stayed at Andrea's house for the long weekend and loved it. Really a nice update on an older home with all the modern amenities and yet the charm of a mid-century Tucson home. The location is perfect with a lovely patio and pool overlooking the city...perfect for cocktail hour or watching the lights at night. Plus, we had our dogs so the location in the desert just a mile or so up the street from the dog park was ideal. Finally, Andrea was exceptionally accommodating and easy to deal with as we needed to adjust our visit and stay an extra day at the last minute. Highly recommended!

Tucson Views and Pool Time

My adult son, husband and I stayed at the beautiful home end of April 2025. Andrea was wonderful to work with, super responsive with easy check in and check out. Home is located in a great neighborhood up on a hill, with expansive Tucson views, views of Catalina Mountains and great bird watching with the bird feeders and bird baths near back patio. Home is close to great shops in La Encantada and close to great restaurants and hiking/walking trails. Home is well stocked and really felt like home with all the little touches throughout, like soft blankets near the couches, spa like master shower with extra large shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and lotion containers, along with sunscreen and q-tips etc. All the items I typically forget to pack…lol. Loved the kitchen and easy access to outdoor BBQ grill, which worked great on our visit. Pool was heated for our visit and we loved the cushioned patio loungers, along with the hanging chairs in covered patio (great for book reading), and separate bistro table and chairs for coffee each morning with great morning views watching sun rise and birds wake up near the bird feeders. We’ve stayed at many VRBO homes each year and this is definitely one of the very best! Can’t wait to come back!! Best Regards! Lori

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!
