This beautiful property in the Catalina Foothills, was a delight to stay in! Chips and Salsa, coffee, bottled water (also had filtered water to fill our bottles!!), were a welcome beginning. We had a tight check in frame prior to our daughter's UA graduation, and they instantly communicated and helped us out. Beds were so comfy, lots of room for our family that had flown in from different parts of the US to hang out and relax. We went to the neighborhood pool and relaxed...all just wonderful! Thank you!!

Our stay here could not have been better! The house was well appointed and beautiful and clean. The host thought of everything, from a welcome gift of delicious chips and salsa from the local gourmet grocery store, the fully stocked kitchen and all of the necessities a family might need for a week away from home.We loved the foothills location and enjoyed many walks around the neighborhood. I especially loved that it was behind my own elementary school!The host responded to all of my questions immediately and helpful. I would totally stay here again.
We even got to see some javalinas!
The Tucson desert is so beautiful!
Great views from Sabino Canyon

This was the cleanest and nicest VRBO that I've ever stayed in! All of the furniture appeared to be new, the kitchen was well equipped, the beds were very comfortable, and there were plenty of amenities and no need to supplement what the host provides and what you might need in terms of soap, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. In addition, the neighborhood is one of the best in Tucson, and this property has one of the nicest landscaped yards of any of its neighbors. This is a single level property, and its great if you have a pet with an enclosed back yard. While the property itself is first class, I think the best attribute is the outstanding communications with the host, Melanie. She was always available if I ever had a question. I would definitely stay here again, as it feels like home!
The property to the right as seen from the short cul de sac. Very private and very little traffic.
