About this house rental
Welcome to our beautiful and unique family home on three private acres on the east side of Tucson. Gorgeous views of mountains and desert abound and sunsets always provide a wonderful evening show to enjoy from the spacious patio and pool area. An updated and open living/dining/kitchen space brings all the comforts of home.
There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The primary suite has a king size bed and a large attached bathroom. The other two bedrooms in the main house have queen size beds and are just across the hallway from a full bathroom. A private, separate casita off the back patio has a king size bed, walk in closet and full bathroom. Two living areas provide lots of comfy seating for reading a book, watching a movie or playing games. The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for creating delicious meals. A screened-in patio lounge area is perfect for enjoying warm evening breezes and mountain views.
The back of the home shines with a large pool, a hot tub, covered spaces, open areas to take some sun, lots of privacy and, above all, those mountain views! It is quiet and relaxing and, simply, wonderful.
If you can bring yourself to leave the house, activities abound. Shopping, dining, hiking and other local attractions are all nearby. The home is very private and feels worlds away but it is just a few minutes from grocery stores, restaurants and a movie theater. Downtown Tucson, funky 4th Avenue and the University of Arizona are within a twenty minute drive.
Also, since the home is surrounded by lots of beautiful desert, it is important to know that you may see desert wildlife including javelinas, Gila monsters, rattlesnakes, coyotes, bobcats, lizards, tortoises, roadrunners and many kinds of birds. These desert denizens are exciting to see but must be observed from a distance and left alone.

We had a phenomenal stay at this house. There was plenty of room for everyone, and the home was very well stocked with towels, utensils, dinnerware, and everything we needed. The house was extremely clean, and the backyard view was absolutely beautiful.Michael, the host, was very welcoming and incredibly responsive throughout our stay. The bedrooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable, and having two master suites was such a nice bonus.We highly recommend this property and would gladly stay here again.

We found everything about this property just as described (or even better)! It is a place secluded enough to be very quiet and afford views of the mountains beyond, yet is near to the city. There is space both inside and outside for a group like us (of 6, all older) to relax, spend time together (or apart to read or snooze). The home is equipped with anything and everything we needed, and is simply beautiful. Someone with an eye for echoing the desert's beauty with the colors, art and inside furnishings created the indoor ambiance. And, best of all, we had easy and quick communication with our host, Michael. His immediate advice and answers to questions were so helpful. If all this sounds too good to be true--you simply haven't been here. Our family gathering couldn't have happened in a more lovely, secluded spot. Our hats off to Michael.

Gem in the Heart of the Desert is the perfect name for this property! All expectations were exceeded. Host was very responsive to questions. House and yard were gorgeous. Location was private and offered a true desert experience. Easy access to all needed amenities.

Our family of four was looking to decompress after the school year ended. We found that and more-some with this location! The thoughtful design and decor, comfy porch for morning coffee, cozy bedding and amenities are top notch. The outdoor space is awesome with expansive views and a fantastic pool and hot tub! A note for those with kids under 8 or 9–this pool isn’t for you due to its depth. The lounge chairs are tucked away from the sun early and late in the day but are easy to move if needed. Finally…it was very private and quiet, which we so appreciated. Highly recommend.
