Well-stocked and comfortable casita with a super comfortable king bed, roomy kitchen, and fenced yard for the dogs. Located in a quiet and walkable neighborhood, it’s close to grocery stores and at the foot of the mountains. It made for a perfect Thanksgiving getaway.

Wonderful casita.

Wonderful place to stay. Everything was just perfect and I absolutely loved and appreciated the labeling of everything and all the instructions, it took the guessing out of the picture. I’ve been to many places where I tried to figure things out and it was complicated, this place was a breeze.

Tucson for Thanksgiving

Such a nice home back in a quiet neighborhood. It has nice space outside to relax and listen to the many birds hanging out. Kitchen is well equipped and we fixed our breakfast each morning. There are so many wonderful places to eat really close too.

Cozy Casita

Loved our stay in this cozy casita. It was a great home base for a variety of activities including biking, hiking, running, and swimming at Oro Valley aquatic center. The space was perfect for a month long visit for two adults. Kitchen was well equipped and beds were very comfortable. Everything was very clean upon our arrival and checking in was easy. We hope to rent it again on a future trip to Tucson.

Comfortable and Relaxing

My husband and I (and our 2 small dogs) stayed here for one week. The house is on a quiet street in a nice neighborhood. It is well stocked with everything you need, and the beds are super-comfortable. The fenced yard is nice if you want to soak up some sun. The rental transaction was easy and we would stay again and also recommend to friends.

Nice house in wonderful neighborhood

Me and wife had great time in Tucson. Weather was very nice and house/neighborhood could not have been netter. Made us consider moving to area someday. House had most all utensils/supplies needed for 3-week stay. Owner lived adjacent to property respected our privacy. Would recommend for anyone visiting area.

Sunset Manor

Casita was located in Oro Valley, a very nice area. Perfect for 2 adults but would be crowded with 4. Weather did not permit us (Feb.) to enjoy the patio. Did enjoy having the fireplace due to the cold. Located near many places to eat & shop. Enjoyed Trader Joes. Would highly recommend staying there !!!

Casa del Sol

It’s a nice quiet neighborhood. I enjoyed the nightly serenades - hooting of owls, short coyote parties. It was central to the places (mainly parks) that we wanted to visit. The kitchen is well appointed, everything was clean. Beware of the toaster, it sets off the fire alarms- we just used it outside. A very comfortable place.

Our casita was perfect for a home base while we visited local family and took day trips.

We were here from NW Michigan, to see our daughter and her family, who, incidentally, live just 1.8 miles from our host’s casita! It was perfect for a place to come to after family activities, and day trips. Location was ideal for grocery shopping, gas, car washes, seeing my favorite desert garden (Tohono Chul), centrally located for all of the National and State Parks we visited and hiked in. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well equipped, there was a delightful patio in back to sit and enjoy evenings, there was garbage pick up as stated in instructions given by our host, there was plenty of closet space for our month long stay requirements, and we were provided with a Hummingbird feeder to keep the migrating hummers happy! Our privacy was honored throughout our stay. Communicating with our host was appropriate and helpful.
