Dog-friendly condo with resort-style pool, hot tub, tennis & mountain-view lanai

Host was very welcoming and answered all my questions promptly. Very charming decor. Extremely well stocked kitchen. Beds were comfortable.

We liked the property and the location. The Vacasa team was very responsive with the couple of issues we had. The property is very close to Sabino Canyon Recreation Area.

The home was gorgeous and the location is beautiful with one issue.........I did not catch this in the reviews -- there is a live band that is literally sitting right outside the patio (there is a new bar next door). They played Thursday-Sunday nights until 10 pm. You could hear the drums and some of the singing with the doors closed and the TV on. It's not the fault of the property owners. I would be livid if I lived back there (the bar used to be a nursery back when we lived there).It is an older property so you deal with some quirks such as lights dimming and flickering if both AC units happen to be running at the same time. The check-in process was difficult because we didn't download the Vacasa app (we booked through VRBO and have app fatigue -- why does everybody need their own app complete with a new username and password?) and the email/text instructions were lacking details such as the building number and how to get there. We arrived after dark and there are very few outdoor lights. It also appears to be run by a national service so when the auto door lock wasn't working (batteries were dead -- we had to change them ourselves), we were left with support via text and an eventual phone call.All in all, it is a great place to stay and we would stay again, but wish the communication was a bit better. Make sure you at least go to the link in the email to read the FULL description/instructions if you stay here. Don't rely on the brief instructions in the email/text.

Unit was advertised as recently remodeled, but only observed new shower fixtures and 2 new small uncomfortable loveseats replaced the advertised pictured leather couch and chair. Light fixtures, baseboards, doors fram, etc appeared dated to 1980s. The provided toilet paper & paper towels were the thinnest I ever seen. Location was great being located across pool and pickleball/tennis courts and only 1 mile to entrance of beautiful large mountain hiking park. Drive to downtown was about 25 minutes on busy roads. Easy walk to wine bar restaurant with music was great.
