Super clean, comfortable, and appointed with everything we could have possibly needed. My two young kids loved the toys, books, games, and especially the pool. So much space for our whole family to spread out. Beautiful scenic location with views of the mountains. Close to Sabino Canyon—our favorite spot we explored.

Very well furnished, nice view, wonderful pool area, peaceful, clean, spacious. We were impressed with how much we liked this place. It was nice to have a garage also. This felt a lot more like home than most VRBO’s, I think due to all the furnishings - cleaning supplies, trash bags, dishes, utensils, Kleenex, paper products. Pool was warm, and plenty of toys for kids. Could’ve used a cleaning on bottom, but didn’t bother the kids or I. Overall super nice place we’d be happy to stay again if ever in the area.

The house was super clean, organized, well furnished, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prep our own meals. The kids loved the pool and neighborhood is really nice and private. We make an annual trip to Tuscon and look forward to staying here again!
