Desert Blooms: Heated Pool & Spa - Winter Oasis
About this space The Desert Blooms welcomes you to our little gem in the desert. This fully remodeled charming modern farmhouse located in the prestigious Catalina Foothills has everything you need for a relaxing getaway or a much-needed escape. Our pristine 5-bedroom, 3-bath home has always been filled with love and laughter, and its a place that will sincerely welcome anyone who is seeking their home away from home. Chef's kitchen, Jacuzzi and sparkling HEATED pool, and close proximity to everything in Tucson.
THE SPACE FORMAL LIVING ROOM The modern formal living room is incredibly spacious with plenty of natural light. Its decorative wainscot panels give the room its sophisticated aura, which is equally perfect for a morning cappuccino, afternoon tea, or your favorite drink after dinner. It’s the perfect spot in the house for those quaint conversations and perhaps bring along your favorite novel to enjoy in this setting.
FAMILY ROOM We call this the “Great Room” because it is simply that! Cozy up with the supersized Crate & Barrel sectional sofa under the soaring vaulted ceilings and next to the grand fireplace, while enjoying your favorite flicks. The Smart TV keeps you streaming with your favorite Roku channels (ie Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Amazon, YouTube, etc.). Pull those classic linen curtains aside and let in the bright natural lighting makes it the perfect setting for family hangouts or just focus on your “me time” with a good book or tune.
LOFT This upstairs area with its adorable modern sectional and LED electric fireplace set the mood for a more intimate movie watching experience in the evening, whilst, serving as a great area for gaming, homework, and hangouts when the sun is still up. For your enjoyment, we’ve supplied a few board games and a delightful bench for you and your loved ones to enjoy together.
KITCHEN & FORMAL DINING Imagine your inner chef greeted by this magnificent gourmet kitchen. It is decked out with a high-end luxury oven range and hood, an overstated island with seating at the far end and, of course, the brilliant and beautiful center to any adorable kitchen is the farmhouse sink. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the basic dining essentials for your convenience. Please feel free to enjoy the endearing dining nook that looks out into our luscious backyard.
MASTER BEDROOM & BATHROOM Treat yourself to a long bubble bath in the luxurious master en-suite bathroom if you must! There’s also a custom high-end frameless glass shower and double vanity complete with brass hardware to keep you feeling your best. We’ve also left plenty of room inside the walk-in closet for your luggage and personal items. Passing through the custom wooden barn doors, you will enter a vaulted ceiling bedroom with a king size bed, a vanity desk, an electric cast iron fireplace, and a Smart TV. Pull those soft velvet curtains aside and epic views of Mount Lemmon can be seen while you lay comfortably on your bed or relaxing by the window alcove/nook. The huge master bedroom is also tucked away from the other sections of the house through a double door, which gives you extra privacy and retreat if needed.
GUEST BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS We had put a lot of love and thought into the 3 remaining bedrooms, each having their own unique style and flavors. The downstairs guest suite consists of an adorable day bed that can be pulled out to become a king size extension, its own adjacent modern full bathroom, and dual bedroom doors that open into a small private nook. The second bedroom is located upstairs and consists of a queen bed and a walk-in-closet, while the third bedroom is just down the hall and has a king bed with a large standing closet. There is also a second full bathroom upstairs with a custom frameless glass shower, dual vanities, and brass fixtures. Bedrooms and bathrooms are stocked with all of the necessary essentials (ie extra towels/sheets/pillows/blankets, hangers, hampers, shampoo/conditioner/bodywash, etc)
OFFICE Maybe you need a private space to make that work phone call or a dedicated office space to complete your work away from the office, we got you covered! We turned our fifth bedroom into an office that’s equipped with a large desk, a cabinet to store your work materials, and a comfortable leather sofa to help you remain focused and brainstorm comfortably. Now for the cherry on top, the room also has great natural light and has a gorgeous view of the city lights during the evenings.
LAUNDRY & PANTRY If your stay requires a washer & dryer, we also have you covered and more! The spacious laundry room is dressed with top-of-the-line LG washer and dryer, iron and board, steamer, and it just looks so cute with the modern farmhouse décor. There’s also plenty of places to hang your coats, hats, bags and serves well as a pseudo-mud room. Opposite to the laundry room is our pantry, which we hope will serve you well as extra storage during your stay.
GARAGE & PARKING We love cars! Whether you’re coming in a rental or your own personal ride, we know how exhausted you are from your long trip and the last thing you want to do is immediately unpack…or even worse, have to go find parking. Yikes! We have a huge driveway and a 3-car-garage for you to store your vehicle(s). Large driveway can accommodate RV/trailer parking. So just pull into the garage, make yourself at home first and you will have plenty of time to unpack later.
SWIMMING POOL & HOT TUB/JACUZZI One of the best things about Tucson is that you can literally be in the pool year-round! So hopefully you brought your swimming attire and get ready for a splendid time in the gated swimming pool. We also have a heated hot tub/jacuzzi that is amazing in any season! Next to the swimming pool is the backyard with a patio seating area, outdoor bistro set, spacious grass area, and the side yard with a picnic table and a swing chair. The backyard and pool areas are diligently cared for on a weekly basis by our landscaping and pool professionals to keep things pristine and in excellent working order.
Pool Heating: The spa/jacuzzi is heated to 100 degrees included in nightly rate. The pool can be heated in the late fall-early spring to 84 degrees at an extra prepayment of $60/night or $350/week to cover natural gas. Please inquire if you are interested in the pool heat for more details. Guest access All guests will have access to the entire home EXCEPT: the locked closet under the staircase, locked cabinet under the sink, and the locked TV stand in the family room, which are all used for storage of supplies for the home.

Hostess & house are a 10!
We were four adults each needing a bedroom. There was more than enough space! The large floor plan offers a lot of flexibility whether you are traveling w/ adults/small children. All the baths are new; chef's kitchen with Island was well equipped; spacious family rm loft-style family rm on 2nd floor too! Tuananh is an exceptional host! This house had eveything more. Kitchen, baths, bedrooms & laundry were stocked with everything! If you do need something, you are a stone's throw from all shopping & amenities. Safe gated community! We had a great experience thanks toTuananh!

Great location and property
We had the pleasure of staying here for Spring break. The home was not just spacious but also impeccably clean, providing a comfortable stay for our party, which included my in-laws, my husband and me, and our two children. There was plenty of space and bedrooms for all of us, including a work-study. The property manager was excellent, accessible, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. The kids enjoyed the pool, and there was a lovely outdoor space for meals. The location was also excellent; it was centrally located and easy to drive to destinations such as Mt Lemmon, Sabino Canyon, the Desert Museum, and restaurants and grocery stores nearby. For those who run or bike, the house is about a mile from Rillito Park - both dirt and paved trails - with the serene outline of the mountains. We would have liked a grill on the property, but it gave us a good excuse to enjoy the local cuisine! I highly recommend it and would stay here again for another vacation. Many thanks to the owners for hosting us!

Lovely Hosts, Lovely Home
I stayed here with my son following his surgery (student at U of A) and it met all of our needs and then some. The hosts are gracious, great communicators, and it was a perfect place to stay quiet, recover, and feel "at home" away from home.

Lovely Stay in Tucson
The house and host are fantastic! I have stayed in many VRBOs and this home was super clean and well appointed. The host is very attentive and made our stay enjoyable. Additionally, the home is located in a nice gated community.

Tucson Catalina Foothills rental
There are 2 parts to this review, the process of renting the house and the house itself. We rented the house for 5 nights and when we went to extend it for another couple of nights, the rate we would be charged went up over 150 a night. The person renting the house uses some software that changes the rate based on some market analysis. It was upsetting to me that he wouldn't extend it for a night or two at the same rate we originally signed up for. It just seems like the correct thing to do rather than try and get every penny he could from us. Not very customer oriented. We selected the house to rent because it was in a nice part of town and because it said there were 3 king beds which was perfect for ourselves and our grown children. It turns out the third king is really a trundle bed downstairs and one of the three bedrooms upstairs is a queen. Wasn't clear to us.The house was very nice and clean and met our needs. We did some cooking there and it was well equipped. The house is in a gated community. It had lots of room and nice furniture. 5 star house.
