My husband and I completely enjoyed our stay at this very special home. It was part architectural tour given the mid-century design and the thoughtfulness of the design - and full vacation/relaxation space given the wonderful views, patio, pool and large rooms. I have never stayed at a rental that was better supplied, and was even able to have family over for a dinner given the amenities of the kitchen/dining space! In addition, the home is well located to shopping and restaurants. The owner, Dino, was very available if needed, but also completely unobtrusive. We will definitely be back!! As Hans B said in a prior review "Do it!"

We stayed for 2+ weeks in Sept 2021 and really enjoyed our stay. Like a home away from home; felt like a home and not a "guest house." Comfy king bed with good linens and a tv in master. Good sized bathroom with 2 sinks. Step down shower (i.e. not ADA if you need it); otherwise everything is on one level with no steps. Huge closet with more than enough space for all our clothes and suitcases. In fact, lots of storage everywhere, except for limited pantry space. Everything else in the kitchen was fabulous – all the appliances and dishes you would have in your own home – including a high end blender, Keurig and salad spinner – and so much more! Super cool that the owner keeps martini and beer glasses in the freezer for you. Great dining room with a view – perfect for entertaining. There’s a 2nd bedroom with queen bed that also has a great office space (which we well used for work from home – wifi plenty fast with two of us working on it). Living room tv is large with basic Xfinity cable. Full size washer/dryer you share with owner. The pool is just for the guests and we used it every day! As well as the two pool floaties provided; though you do need to be the pool maintenance crew while you're there. Large covered patio with comfy furniture and a grill. It’s just plain fun to be surrounded by the mid-century architecture, design and finishes. And lots of related books (and fiction books) for your reading pleasure. Loved waking up to and watching the beautiful view out the master and back windows. A couple of maintenance items that came up were addressed quickly by the owner, who lives on the other side of the house (but you don't even know he's there). Temps in the living/dining areas can get a bit warm on summer 110 degree days because of the mid-century AC supply, but there were well-placed fans that still allowed us to be comfortable. Note there is no garage or covered parking, though you can be strategic with tree shade. Several easy hikes within walking distance. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Flawless!

The Westward Look Guest House is not your typical vacation rental. It has the look and feel of a real home. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need; the living areas are very comfortable, and the outdoor living space, including the pool, is wonderful. Dino, the host, was gracious and helpful while also being unobtrusive Definitely recommend a stay at The Westward Look Guest House.

An architectural landmark with wonderful indoor and outdoor spaces. Good supply of dishes and bar supplies made entertaining easy. Convenient to everything.

We just spent 3+ weeks relaxing weeks in Casas Adobes. The home is lovely - comfortable, well equipped, interesting, and nicely located. The kitchen is huge - lots of room to cook and hang out in. The views of the Catalina Mountains were a constant pleasure. Warm sunsets off to the west, an afternoon delight. Dino, the owner/host, is delightful. He is helpful, kind, fun and unobstrusive. He had great suggestions for restaurants and hikes. I highly recommend a visit to Casas Adobes!

This is a fantastic property that does not disappoint in its character or location. Often the photos are better than the reality but this lives up! The kitchen is well stocked, the pool refreshing with fantastic views, and the home is just overall very comfortable.

The house is absolutely beautiful, designed by modernist architect Nicholas Sakellar, built for his family and now owned by his son Dino, also an architect. Well appointed kitchen, very comfortable living room and bedrooms and a laundry room. Floor to ceiling glass offers perfect views of the Catalina Mountains right up Pima Canyon. The patio and back yard are very pleasant, but the weather was a bit chilly while we were there. It snowed on the mountains! Location is great; a couple of blocks to Casas Adobes groceries, restaurants and shops. Dino was very accommodating, even though we arrived during the holiday time. Note that there is a hefty security deposit required, which is reasonable considering the quality of art and furnishings. It ensures that guests will take care of the place. Dino was very prompt in refunding our deposit, but it took VRBO several days to process it. Again, not a problem; just be aware. We look forward to staying here again when we visit Tucson in the future.

The property inside and out is lovely and so comfortable. The kitchen is large, completely supplied, and charming. Dino, the host, is warm and knowledgeable. We loved our stay, and we are grateful that Dino accommodated us on short notice. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

It was a delight to stay in this beautiful home - very pleasant indoor spaces with all amenities provided. The walls of glass offered an amazing view of the mountains and the outdoor spaces were enjoyable. Dino was a personable and receptive host. The arrival flowers and the bottle of wine was a lovely touch!

We have often seen this house when staying at Westward Look Resort and were thrilled to find out it was being offered through VRBO. We are an architect and interior designer, so we really appreciated the beautiful mid-century design, by Nicholas Sakellar. The view of the Catalina mountains was spectacular. The house is not far from UA and close to restaurants and Whole Foods. The occupant in the other half of the house was quiet and we didn't even know they were there.

Fantastic views. Glass walls in DR and LR. Very modern kitchen with 14 foot butcher top island. Dino is a great landlord.

The home was beautiful and well-equipped. The views of the mountains were spectacular. Dino was a wonderful host.

A gorgeous property with stunning views of the mountains. The house is a wealth of interesting detail for someone like me who is interested in architecture. It is very spacious with comfortable furniture, lots of books, and a large and workable kitchen. One cannot describe what it's like to sit with your morning coffee or tea and gaze on the mountains. Not only is the host very personable and charming, he is a lot of fun but never intrusive, even though he lives on the property. We have traveled a lot, and this host and this house are the best we've ever encountered.

Beautiful home in a great Tucson location. The home was very clean and comfortable. Very modern kitchen. Outside grounds very well maintained with beautiful mountain views. The owner in on site in this divided house and available if needed.

We have rented many VRBO's and this is by far at the very top of our list. We stayed here during graduation and it was nice to be out of the busy downtown (due to graduation) and find respite in this home, so we loved the location. The kitchen is large and extremely well stocked. The home is very comfortable and spacious. The owner was extremely responsive to any issues or concerns. We immediately felt at home due to the owner's welcome, the beautiful setting and comfort in every room. Windows abound to bring in the light and allow for beautiful views of the mountains. The patio was a favorite hang out space in the late afternoon and evening to watch the colors on the mountains change hour to hour. We used the pool daily as it was warm enough at this time of year and a great size for all to enjoy. Thank you Dino for making our week of celebration even more fabulous by the use of your incredible home! We would give a rating of 7 stars if it were an option.!

The Westward Look property is conveniently located in Tucson with great proximity to shopping, dining, hiking and exploring. The views are tremendous of the Catalina Mountains and the property features an expansive yard with a large, beautiful pool. The residence is rich with mid century architectural design both inside and out, featuring great art pieces and a rich family heritage. The interior is very comfortable and the owner is very responsive and a wealth of knowledge of places to experience. Wonderful time!

Relaxing, great views, super location, if you love mid century modern, book it.

We found The Guest House to be a unique spacious and comfortable accommodation with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the patio and beautiful grounds beyond. We were on a golf getaway for 10 days and much enjoyed returning to Sakellar each day to enjoy cocktails and snacks on the patio afterwards. Dino made us feel right at home with a welcome note and bottle of wine on our arrival. We also had occasion to enjoy drinks and dinner out with Dino twice during our stay. He is a wealth of information on the Tucson region, and most helpful on places to visit, eat etc. The Guest House location is central to many golf courses and convenient to shopping, restaurants, grocery and drug store needs as well. When we return to Tucson hopefully in the near future the Sakellar Guest House will be our first choice to stay. Mike and Beth

Impressive. Great view of Catalina Mountains. The house was very comfortable and well equipped.

Our family stayed at Dino's guest house for an extended period through the fall. I cannot understate how lovely this house is, both in terms of its design and comfort. This is a special place; it was a joy to wake up here every morning and to watch the sun setting every evening. Dino is a kind, thoughtful person and a wonderful host. He has lots of knowledge of the surrounding area, as this has been his family's home since childhood. This is truly a perfect place to experience the beauty of Tucson.

This home, with it’s spectacular mountain views and proximity to hiking trails, shopping, and restaurants was perfect for our Tucson stay. The house is of mid century modern design, it is quite beautiful inside and out as the pictures show and it is comfortable, and well equipped for a short or long stay. Dino was gracious and accommodating and helpful when asked. We highly recommend this beautiful home!

We very much enjoyed our week stay in this wonderful home. It is very spacious and comfortable. We loved the private pool and stunning views!! The location is perfect...private and yet close to anything you could want or need. We could not have asked for a better host. Dino was very responsive if we needed something. We hope to stay at this property again.

My family and I were lucky enough to rent this beautiful property for one whole month. My favorite part about this home would definitely be the views from the backyard but I think my children would say their favorite part was having your own private pool. I would definitely recommend this home for anyone who is looking for a private relaxing vacation in a prime location. My family and I are looking forward to renting this home again in the near future.
