We selected this property primarily because of the location. It was close to other family members. However, it was just a beautiful place to stay. The grounds, hot tub, and pool area were beautiful. Kitchen was large and well appointed. This is a great place to stay Host was quick to respond when asked questions. Definitely recommend this.

We wanted a warmer climate for a Christmas getaway with the whole family. This was perfect! Check in was most appreciated as we didn’t make it to the property until 2am…it was seamless!!! There was plenty of space for the 10 of us. Although it was too cold at nights to heat the pool during the day, we used the jacuzzi tub A LOT! The outdoor space is wonderful!! The interior is beautiful, spacious and had everything we needed. I am already considering going back for a Spring break or Fall break when we’d be able to use the pool!!! Fermin and Betty were so easy to talk to and were prompt with a response. We loved it!!!

Six-week stay at beautiful Tucson house
My wife and I spent 6-weeks in January and February in this beautiful house. This was our 10th year vacationing in the area. with VRBO, and the property was the first that included a few acres located outside gated developments. We thoroughly enjoyed the property; the house is spacious and very well supplied with kitchen appliances and supplies, and the furniture was comfortable and attractive. The owners were very easy to contact and always responded promptly and were helpful in all respects. The pool and spa, as well as other outside amenities, are outstanding and although ambient temperatures were a bit cool, the owners heated the pool and it was comfortable and greatly enjoyed by visiting family members. The owners also pointed out a walking area very near the property that allows a quiet walk away from heavily traveled roads. We recommend this property for renters who are looking for a beautiful property with a few acres away from the dense housing developments in the area. We plan to return.

Loved this place, everything was amazingly clean.
To echo previous reviews — the pool is cold and we had trouble with the hot tub heating up when we tried/needed it. It finally got above 80 degrees on the last day of our stay.

Different people want different things so I'm going to try to give the house some context.
It's a nice, fully-equipped house on 3.5 acres. It's a good distance back from a fairly busy road (walking on it, which is challenging given no sidewalk, I rarely didn't see a car heading one way or another, on the two-lane road). It's located north of Tucson -- downtown (depending on where you're going) is perhaps 20 minutes. It's a rapidly growing area. The land around the house is mostly flat, with the house on a slight rise. In most directions you look, you will see mountains, though a neighboring carport does crimp perhaps the best view. I'm a hiker/biker, so, no comments on proximity to golf, etc., though there is a Ritz Carlton a dozen minutes away. There are some great hikes nearby (e.g. Wild Burro), but the "classics" of Tucson might be 40 minutes away (e.g. Sabino Canyon). We did feel a touch "isolated" out there -- we wish we had been more in the Catalina foothills, with more restaurant options, more proximity to downtown Tucson, but you may not care about that. And we found a sushi place we liked at a nearby mall.
Ok, why 4 stars? Well, we specifically targeted homes with a swimming pool. We thought an afternoon plunge in the pool would be nice, and the home both shows, and mentions a pool, and says it is heated.
Well, it's not. Very clear instructions that the pool isn't heated, and this time of year that makes for a chilly pool, so we never used it. It's totally fine if an owner doesn't want to heat a pool -- perhaps bonus points for ecological correctness -- but then the listing should say there's a pool (I think) and certainly shouldn't say it's heated (it says it is heated very specifically under amenities). The pool area itself is lovely, so we sat by a very chilly pool. There's also a hot tub, which one can turn on (with a string "therms" budget or pay more).
So, we're not thrilled that the listing was wrong. Other homeowners seem to try hard to explain their pool policies explicitly (like how much one can heat it before paying a premium). Given how much communication there was from the owners, in messages and instructions and in at he house, they are engaged owners/hosts, and are capable of communicating.

House was more than we expected. Comfortable beds, clean and tidy space. Good instructions for how to do/use everything. Backyard was lovely. Lots of time in the hammock, in the jacuzzi, or on the patio. Perfect for a relaxing time away.
Only issue is pool didn’t get as warm as anticipated, but didn’t ruin the experience.

Our family had a wonderful stay spanning 30 days at this property. The setting is amazing, especially if you've never experienced the desert southwest. The house itself is spacious, clean, and beds were comfortable. The grounds were perhaps the most appealing feature of this property to my family - we really enjoyed the grapefruit and lime trees during our stay and our toddler loved to run up and down the long front driveway surrounded by beautiful desertscape. Lots of birds including an owl who resided in the palm tree above the pool! Given the length of our stay we naturally had a few issues come up with the house but our hosts were responsive and addressed the issues in a timely manner. The only disappointment was that the pool was a little too cold for our taste but the hot tub heated up nicely! Overall we had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.

We will definitely stay at this property again - absolutely beautiful and the back yard and patio were perfect for all purposes in this climate! Swimming...homework...watching TV...just hanging out and chatting. Plenty of room for everyone - the owners were extremely responsive with a couple questions we had. A little tricky to find the first time, but the privacy was worth it!

Checkin was seamless. Owner responded quickly and patiently to random questions. The house is beautiful and fully equipped (coffee maker & blender!!).

Vacancy
Everything was perfect except disappointed that guests were due to arrive the same day I checked out. Not the 3 day vacancy between guests as advertised . I am a nurse and choose this rental because of the 3 day vacancy. I work with covid patient's and keeping my family and others safe was my priority. This was a self isolating get away I hope everyone remains safe.
