Escape to this private sanctuary tucked away in one of Tucson's most desirable gated neighborhoods. Enjoy views of the Catalina Mountains, a lush green courtyard, cactus garden with two saguaros, walking paths, private lap pool (not heated) in the backyard and heated community pool and community hot tub. This home has charm, perfect Saltillo tiles, natural light all throughout the day, large new windows, a private office with a standing desk & curved monitor, 65" Smart TV, and every amenity you'll ever need! This home is perfect for long term visitors, snowbirds, or couples looking for a relaxing escape. 5 minutes from La Encantada, 5-star restaurants, grocery stores, shopping and Pontatoc Trail and Finger Rock Trail. 15 minutes from Sabino Canyon and Pima Canyon Trails (our favorites!), and 15-20 minutes to downtown and the UofA! We are always just a quick message of phone call away for any questions about the home or what to do in Tucson. Our goal is to make your stay in Tucson special!
The house and furnishings (including amenities) were above average. If I were rating the house itself, it would be 5 stars. However one of the major reasons we rented this property was the private pool and private jetted "lap pool" and regardless of being heated or not, they were unusable because they were filled with debris. After communication with the host, were were told the pool cleaners had just been there (which if is the case, the hosts are being greatly overcharged for the services) but they would send the cleans back out. The pool was never "re-cleaned" and we were disappointed to not have been able to use the one feature of the property we were most excited about. The back pool area was great for lounging in 80 degree weather, but did not get to enjoy the pool.
I (Philippe) am originally from Canada and traded the snow for the lush green desert of Tucson! My co-host and fiancee Nikki is a Tucson native and knows everything about the desert! Our goal is to provide unique and special experiences for our guests on VRBO. Please do not hesitate to reach out anytime, we are always available via message or call to answer any questions about the home or suggestions on what to do around town!
This Southwest Home in the Foothills is special to us. Our co-host Nikki actually grew up in the neighborhood and had her first birthday party a few houses over! It's always been our dream to own a home in this beautiful community, it's peaceful, quiet, lush, and makes us feel as though we are always on vacation. The front gate offers security, and the lush green desert plants around the neighborhood and around the home are simply beautiful - it could practically be a botanical garden! We would love to share our dream home with you and provide you a special experience in Tucson!
