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 stayed here two years ago and knew we would have to come back. We returned last week and it was as beautiful and peaceful as we remembered. The backyard is a perfect place to enjoy meals, watch the sunrise/sunset, swim, and observe the wildlife. The kitchen has anything you need for cooking and the casita is an amazing extra space. We arrived late at night and Michael was kind enough to leave lights on for us. The house is so clean and the art is such a pleasure to look at in each room. We had the best week!

We booked this Tucson VRBO specifically looking for a quiet, secluded home with plenty of privacy for a romantic getaway, and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we had our own little private oasis in the desert.The house is beautifully maintained and very well equipped — the kitchen had everything we needed, and the layout made it feel spacious and comfortable. My wife especially loved starting her mornings on the patio, sipping coffee and watching the wildlife (quail, rabbits, and even a few lizards made appearances). The Southwest vibe throughout the home was charming and relaxing, with thoughtful touches that made it feel warm and inviting.If you're looking for peace, privacy, and a true desert escape, this property is ideal. We’d definitely return on our next trip to Tucson!

Our family had an absolutely wonderful week. The property is gorgeous in the house is simply lovely. We were four adults and 3.5 month old, and the setting and accommodations were perfect for us. The house is very well equipped. There is everything you need for cooking, for enjoying time by the pool or in the hot tub, and looking at wildlife out in the yard. The house is also conveniently located a short drive from restaurants, stores, and Saguaro National Park. The owners have so thoughtfully prepared a book with instructions for the house, a guide to local wildlife and information on local activities. Any questions directed to the owners received very quick responses. I highly recommend this location and hope to go back again soon!
