Spectacular Foothills Smart Oasis w\/Private Pool
About this house rental
Enjoy style, comfort, and cleanliness with all the modern conveniences you could want in this centrally located foothills 1-acre posh vacation base camp retreat. This home is designed with the sole purpose to spoil you and your family and check all the boxes…even those you didn't know existed. Regardless of how full or slim your itinirary might be, you're sure to enjoy every minute of your down time. The open concept layout will give your family several flexible large spaces to gather and create memories while the split bedroom floor plan will ensure that everyone can find some privacy and serenity when they need it. Here you'll find far more than the basics you might have experienced at other properties on other vacations and if you don't leave feeling spoiled, that would be our genuine regret. Upon arrival you will surely recognize the thought and quality materials that went into the design of this vacation home. From the decorative iron and glass entry doors to the wall of north facing windows that let the sunlight and views spill in, to the 15+ foot vaulted ceilings, to the 12+ high foot brick wood burning fireplace, to the Curava recycled glass countertop on the massive kitchen island, to the excessive 16" x 16" rainfall shower head hanging 8' over the oversized shower in the master bathroom…every obvious design splurge is intended to spoil you. What you won't immediately notice are the hidden smart home features that make it super simple to control many fun features. That simplistic picture frame above the fireplace doubles as a 65" 4K smart TV that integrates with the smart home. After you take in your first legendary desert sunset simply say "ok Google, close all the blinds" and like magic the wall of windows fades away thanks to the 13 smart home integrated motorized blinds or better yet, say "hey Google, turn on the backyard lights" and set the scene for an unforgettable family evening by the pool. Outside you'll find a beautifully landscaped private backyard oasis. The Pebble Fina finished pool has a waterfall feature that is both fun and relaxing and is surrounded by enough stylish concrete pavers to give your family plenty of options for seating to suit every mood and season…under the patio, under the stars, by the fire pit, listening to the rustle of the Queen Anne palms, or splashing in the pool. Beyond the pool you'll find plenty of walled in open space to let your 2 legged and 4 legged little ones explore without wandering too far. Looking off to the west where the sun sets you'll see the property extends for a full acre to include a natural desert wash for the adventurists who care to cautiously explore close to home. When it's time to stock up you'll appreciate not only the Whole Foods, Walgreens, and Petco 1.5 miles away but many shopping options and facilities within a 4-mile radius including 6 grocery stores, Costco, movie theater, and hospital not to mention the convenient amazing restaurants. When it comes to excursions you'll appreciate this serene location nestled in Sunrise Valley in the base foothills of the Santa Catalina mountains, Tucson's iconic and largest mountain range to the north. A local and guest favorite for exploring the Catalina's would be a short drive east to Sabino Canyon with a choice of numerous gorgeous trails to hike or tram ride if you prefer. If you're a more adventurous hiker you could head west to explore the Finger Rock trail. If it's cooler temps you seek a drive up Mt. Lemon which offers winter skiing high above the desert might be more your jam. If golfing is more your style, point the car in any direction and you won't be disappointed. Everything else Tucson has to offer is either a short or scenic drive away including the University of Arizona, Tucson Botanical Gardens, Tohono Chul Park, Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum, Saguaro National Park, Colossal Cave, Pima Air and Space Museum, Catalina State Park, Biosphere II, and the Reid Park Zoo. If you're fortunate and adventurous enough to extend your stay and take day trips to explore Southern Arizona or possibly Sonora Mexico, we'd love to have you reach out for recommendations as you plan your perfect vacation. We have been fortunate enough to have enjoyed some amazing and unforgettable family vacations and offer this home to allow others to do the same in our home town.

The property was clean and well equipped with everything you need. The neighborhood is quiet and upscale. We enjoyed the pool and backyard - lots of great views. The pool requires a bit of manual intervention, making sure that the hose if properly attached to the skim and making sure the skim box is pushed down for optimal suction. Other than that, the house was great.

This is a wonderful property for a small family. The pool is lovely with its waterfall but no toodler safety fence. The entire back yard is softly lit with lighting on the walls that completely surround the back yard making it totally pet friendly. The kitchen is spectacularly well equipped and everything works. Most of the interior lights are on dimmers. The home has excellent internet. Highly recommended.

This home was a lovely gathering place for our family to celebrate Christmas. Beautiful Mountain Views out the back. Comfortable furniture indoors and outdoors with a huge fenced in backyard with plenty of places for lounging. The kitchen was large and well equipped for a Vrbo. We did a lot of cooking and baking as my family loves to cook. Eric was super responsive and accessible for a few minor requests. The beds were firm and comfortable and everything was as seen in the photos but even nicer in person. We know Tucson as we have family there and I grew up there— I really like this neighborhood and enjoy being close to the mountains and to Sabino Canyon.. we would definitely stay there again.

You cannot go wrong renting this home. It’s a “smart home” and it’s lovely! 2 coffee machines—a drip and a keurig! The rooms are good sized and the beds comfortable. It’s in a great quiet area in East Tucson. Eric is great to work with. Kitchen is terrific for you if you love to cook. We had a great time and would definitely rent here again.

In a quiet and safe neighborhood - but not too far from grocery and other essential shopping. Very clean property with lovely backyard and spotless pool. Owner was kind enough to bring over a grill, propane tank and bbq tools so we could cook out in the evening. Beautiful place and super responsive owner made it a great visit for our family.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home in the Tucson Foothills/Sabino Canyon area. The home was spacious, sparklingly clean and beautifully appointed. The kitchen is stunning and well equipped - and every room in the main living areas has views of the mountains. I could hardly wait to get up in the morning and enjoy my coffee with the beautiful view.
The living areas are thoughtfully laid out with several couches and seating areas - great for a group or family as each can have their own domain. The three bedrooms are large and well furnished with ample closet space and drawer storage. Super comfy mattresses, high quality bedding, pillows and towels throughout. The master bathroom is gorgeous with a stunning shower and lots of counter space.
We loved the outdoor area with a private pool and a waterfall feature and ample seating options - including a fire pit! The backyard is beautifully landscaped and feels like the perfect oasis. It was very quiet and secluded with a nice fence surround and lovely outdoor lighting. There is even a nicely sized turf area that was perfect for yoga and morning stretching.
This may seem silly but it was important to us as we both needed to stay in touch with work during our stay--the wifi signal in the house is very strong and reliable - woo hoo! We also appreciated the tech/smart home features that allowed us to turn on lights and close blinds with voice commands.
The home is close to Sabino Canyon which we really enjoyed for day hikes, and is an easy drive to shops, good restaurants and grocery stores including the most beautiful Whole Foods I've ever seen. The hosts were fantastic to work with and even provided a day pass for our use to Sabino Canyon - such a treat!
I highly recommend this beautiful home - and know we will be back for sure.

Amazing pool and very clean!
The house was very clean and Eric was super easy to contact when we had questions. The pool was awesome and we spent most of our time just relaxing in the water. It was a family get away with my parents, husband, and two adult sons. It was a great time and we plan to come back!

Wonderful and Thoughtful Hosts s
I typically am not one to write reviews, however this property deserves an exception. From start to finish this property and management had owned up to the pervious ratings and expectations. The home is stunning and was very clean! The outside area was just wonderful with such a beautiful view, and many options to sit and enjoy. Lastly the hosts were so thoughtful with their communication, accommodation, kindness, and items in the home. I would definitely stay here again and recommend for any families looking to spend quality time!

We’ve stayed in Tucson many times and truly enjoyed the privacy and quiet of this house. Great neighborhood and location. The house was very clean and well organized. The backyard and pool were so refreshing, relaxing and enjoyable. Eric was a very gracious host and left the most amazing jar of dark chocolate with sea salt and caramel treats on the island! We would definitely stay here again!

Excellent stay in Tucson
We had a wonderful stay in this home! Everything is on point, beginning when you walk in the door looking out to the pool, and view. Stunning views, the backyard, and pool was very nice to relax in and soak up the sun. Very quiet neighborhood but close to everything, on a great side of Tucson.
The home is WELL equipped for your stay, a great kitchen to cook in, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the bathrooms well appointed. It was just my husband and myself but this house could hold a larger group of people with plenty of space!
Excellent communication with the owners, very nice and accommodating! Thanks again! We will be back!

We spent a week here, everything was perfect. We asked if there was a can opener and Eric showed up like the genie from Aladdin with one. He was incredibly friendly and communicative. The house was perfect with everything we needed. I would highly recommend!!

Excellent Getaway
Our family had an excellent experience staying at this delightful Tucson home. It was our first time in Tucson visiting from Phoenix, Hawaii and The Bay Area. We were not disappointed.
Eric was extremely helpful in helping us settle in, and was very attentive to our questions.
The home is set up for relaxation. We sat by the pool and enjoyed the crisp warm Arizona sunshine, with a picturesque backdrop of the Catalina mountains.
The kitchen is well equipped and there are good restaurants nearby. There is a great Whole Foods market close too.
We visited the local farmers market and had a great trip to the Saguaro Park.
This place is definitely worth a visit.
Thank You!
