This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $50 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.
To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!

Excellent Stay at the Drachman, Tucson
Our stay was fabulous! My family are older folks; there were 5 of us staying. My brother (71), my mother (95) and myself (70) stayed in the main house and my daughter and fiancé (40's) stayed in the casita. They loved the charming casita which was nicely done up and very cozy. The main house was beautifully decorated inside as was the landscaped outdoors. Loved the pool and hot tub. We used the out door fireplace a couple of nights as well. It was like staying in a 5 star plus resort! The bathrooms were large and well appointed. Beds were comfortable and all the rooms were so lovely; very clean. We loved the patios around the house, nice areas tucked away to relax in. The two one car garages were perfect for us and both had the EV chargers in them, though our car didn't use them it was a nice modern feature. The neighborhood is safe and a very nice area. Erin made sure our stay was trouble free from start to finish. We Would definitely stay here again!
