Quiet desert getaway with beautiful views and heated pool, pet-friendly

Enjoy gorgeous views in every direction from this cozy hilltop home. Relax by the pool on the hot days or enjoy a night inside by the fire on those rare cold nights. Conveniently located about 15 minutes from many of Tucson’s most popular attractions, including the UofA and Sabino Canyon, you’ll still enjoy plenty of quiet and privacy on this 1 acre property. Recently renovated, this home is perfect for a family coming to visit a college student, girlfriends looking for some sunshine and fun, or a group of friends in town to bike, hike, or run. Comfortable and well-appointed, you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing, refreshing, and fun getaway. Dog-friendly.

In addition to sleeping 7 comfortably (king, queen, and 3 twin beds) there is a queen size sofa bed and a twin rollaway bed to sleep 3 additional guests.

The pool is equipped with a heater and can be heated in the winter, upon request. An additional daily heating fee of $40/day is required to cover the added gas expenses. When booking, let us know if you would like the pool heated for your stay!

Sorry, home is not available for events or large parties.

Property entryway is equipped with a video/audio Ring doorbell.

Great VRBO!

Family flew into Tucson to attend a University of Arizona graduation and this listing was perfect! Andrea was easy to communicate with and the house was spacious enough for us all and had so many fun amenities - we loved bird watching. If you’re thinking of booking it, do it! You won’t regret it

Wonderful time at this desert oasis. We paid a little extra to have the pool heated this spring trip and it was well worth it. We enjoyed lounging by pool and taking un the perfect spring temperatures. The house is decorated so tastefully and comes with everything you could imagine needing for a fun family getaway. The neighborhood is great for sunset walks too!! Thank you so muxh for a great stay.

Perfect!!!

I don't think I could say enough good things about our stay. It all starts with our amazing host who was extraordinarily responsive, kind, and helpful. The property was super clean upon arrival and the location was perfect. Grocery shopping and restaurants were just a few minutes away. The views of the mountains and the city at night were stunning. When we come back to Tucson we will definitely try booking this property again.

Tucson Views and Pool Time

My adult son, husband and I stayed at the beautiful home end of April 2025. Andrea was wonderful to work with, super responsive with easy check in and check out. Home is located in a great neighborhood up on a hill, with expansive Tucson views, views of Catalina Mountains and great bird watching with the bird feeders and bird baths near back patio. Home is close to great shops in La Encantada and close to great restaurants and hiking/walking trails. Home is well stocked and really felt like home with all the little touches throughout, like soft blankets near the couches, spa like master shower with extra large shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and lotion containers, along with sunscreen and q-tips etc. All the items I typically forget to pack…lol. Loved the kitchen and easy access to outdoor BBQ grill, which worked great on our visit. Pool was heated for our visit and we loved the cushioned patio loungers, along with the hanging chairs in covered patio (great for book reading), and separate bistro table and chairs for coffee each morning with great morning views watching sun rise and birds wake up near the bird feeders. We’ve stayed at many VRBO homes each year and this is definitely one of the very best! Can’t wait to come back!! Best Regards! Lori

Great house & location

Stayed at Andrea's house for the long weekend and loved it. Really a nice update on an older home with all the modern amenities and yet the charm of a mid-century Tucson home. The location is perfect with a lovely patio and pool overlooking the city...perfect for cocktail hour or watching the lights at night. Plus, we had our dogs so the location in the desert just a mile or so up the street from the dog park was ideal. Finally, Andrea was exceptionally accommodating and easy to deal with as we needed to adjust our visit and stay an extra day at the last minute. Highly recommended!

Wonderfully stocked home for a family stay

We stayed here over the New Year to check out Tucson and do some local hiking. We loved the home layout (spacious), and it was perfect for our family of four (two adults and two teens). The decor was lovely, the home was incredibly clean, and it was stocked the best of any rental I have ever stayed in—soaps, shampoos, conditioners, coffees, even tampons and dog supplies. Overall, very thoughtful with lots of personal touches, wonderful views, outdoor spaces, and even was decorated for the holidays. Thank you for a great stay!

Wonderful Home With Views

We had an incredible graduation weekend staying in Andrea's home. First and foremost the views from the back patio were amazing. The home is updated with an open floor plan, excellent for group gatherings. Another wonderful thing about this house is that it had all the supplies you would need for a long weekend or week. It is also located close to grocery stores for all your other needs. We would definitely stay again!
