This was a great place, and Melissa and family were wonderful! The home was well-stocked and centrally located in Tucson. We were here for four weeks and really enjoyed the house and especially the outdoor courtyards. Highly recommend this place!

We love staying at this property
This is not our first stay here and we have thoroughly enjoyed the home each time. Melissa and family are thoughtful and gracious hosts. They really went above and beyond to accommodate us when an issue arose that was outside of their responsibility and control.
The location is very convenient, the home is lovely and we look forward to staying there again.

Excellent property and manager
The pictures and description of the home do not do it justice. It is nicer than we were expecting. Lovely home and yard. The owners/managers are extremely helpful and accommodating. We would love to stay here again.

Great house
Melissa and her family were fantastic hosts. We spent Christmas at the VRBO unit and it was the first in many years when my daughter and son in law were able to be home from Egypt. Melissa and her family not only decorated the outside of the house but also the inside including a Christmas tree with ornaments on the side. We got to decorate it as a family. We also wanted to bake Christmas cookies and they provided bakeware, mixing bowls and pre-made cookie dough. The inside is so comfortable with four recliners, a huge TV and an electric fireplace. Perfect for Christmas morning. The backyard was phenomenal with plenty of sitting areas ideal for conversation or quiet reading. The built-in gas grill and outdoor refrigerator were perfect for grilling our pollo asado. The back yard water features were so relaxing to sit and listen, especially if you practice mindfulness. It is convenient to the mall and has several walk-to restaurants. We will return for sure.

Perfect Thanksgiving spot to spend with my parents
Great location. Property 100% as described on VRBO. Owner was very friendly and checked-in a couple of times. She also handled the check-in with my parents without any problems.
Great choice, all around!

We enjoyed our stay at Melissa's property. The home was comfortable, clean and well equipped. We had a few reason's to contact her and she responded immediately to our complete satisfaction. The home is located in a gated community within which we felt quite safe and secure.
