Great value and communication from the host. We visited with multiple family members from ages 4 to 75, and everyone was comfortable. The house is older and basic but is centrally located and had everything we needed. We even asked for a travel crib, and the host dropped it off within minutes. Thanks for a great stay!

Enjoyable Stay

We enjoyed our stay at The Corner Lot Casa. The house was very clean, it was in a quiet area and easy to find. The check in was smooth and it was just as described on the website. We were able to have a very enjoyable Thanksgiving break here, the yard was nice to have for our dogs and we were able to walk our dogs in the interesting neighborhood. The kitchen was well stocked and the furnishings were comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Just lack of communication

I don't know if it was this sites or owners fault but I sent multiple messages about me and my friends having a surprise little kickback Halloween birthday party for my best friend and told them that the people that were there for the party wouldn't be staying the night there and and who drinks would be 21+ and all smoking would be done outside the house but we still got kicked out and had to pay for staying the night even though we cleaned everything up and left. But the place was nice, a very good home. It was fun while it lasted.

Pet friendly rental

Great pet friendly rental. So nice to be able to kick back and relax at this rental after a day of competing at dog sports at Kino Sports Complex. The rental was comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and the dogs enjoyed exploring the fenced in yard area. Our favorite place to dine out was Zinfandel’s Burger and Wine Bar on River Road.

Fab stay!

This was our second time staying at the corner lot. The house was just as comfortable, and even cleaner than last time, which is saying something. Only thing we would change is if it was a bit closer to campus.

Visiting the grandbabies!

My son and his family live in Tucson, so I wanted a place where I could stay and have the family over, when I come down to visit. We had a blast. It’s not fancy, so you don’t feel up-tight about the kids running around having fun. It was clean and more spacious than the hotels I have gotten before. The neighborhood is very quiet. I will definitely be back. The communication with the owners was good.

Very nice property

The overall experience was great, the property was exactly as described. Just a few minor things, the back yard area needed some cleaning to enjoy the patio, also found a couple of small bugs inside the home but nothing that would make you feel uncomfortable. One thing that I found to be a slight inconvenience a checking out. The property does say to check out at 11, and they expect you OUT promptly at 11. Not sure if it was the property manager or the owner, but they showed up right at 11 knocking on the door to make sure we were almost out. That was a bit of a negative for me, but overall the stay was enjoyable.

Great place; convenient location

We were here for the week and enjoyed the stay. Nice cottage with a big backyard and covered patio. Would certainly book this again. Sleeps 6 but it would be tight if if all adults. Kitchen is nice and updated. The only thing keeping this rating from being 5 stars is the furniture is dated, and no real eating/dining area inside. Overall though this is a nice place to stay.
