About this house rental

Located in Tanque Verde, this charming house for $500 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Welcome to our beautiful and unique family home on four private acres on the east side of Tucson. Gorgeous views of mountains and desert abound and sunsets always provide a wonderful evening show to enjoy from the spacious patio and pool area. The home has been recently and lovingly remodeled with a wide-open living/dining/kitchen space. All the comforts of home await! There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed and a large attached bathroom. The other two bedrooms in the main house have queen size beds and are just across the hallway from a full bathroom. A private, separate casita off the back patio has a king size bed, walk in closet and full bathroom. Two living areas provide lots of comfy seating for reading a book, watching a movie or playing games. The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for creating delicious meals. A screened-in patio dining area is perfect for enjoying warm evening breezes. The back of the home shines with a large pool (heated with a solar system-no guarantees it will be warm enough for everyone during the winter months!), a hot tub, covered spaces, open areas to take some sun, lots of privacy and, above all, those mountain views! It is quiet and relaxing and, simply, wonderful. If you can bring yourself to leave the house, activities abound. Shopping, dining, hiking and other local attractions are all nearby. The home is very private and feels worlds away but it is just a few minutes from grocery stores, restaurants and a brand new movie theater. Downtown Tucson, funky 4th Avenue and the University of Arizona are within a thirty minute drive (a rental car is most likely necessary for getting around but there is plenty of parking at the house). Also, since the home is surrounded by lots of beautiful wild desert, it is important to know that you may see desert wildlife including javelinas, gila monsters, rattlesnakes, coyotes, bobcats, lizards, roadrunners and lots of other kinds of birds. These desert denizens are exciting to see but must be observed from a distance and left alone. We invite you to enjoy this "gem in the heart of the desert"

We do VRBO’s at least a few times a year. With family in Tucson we come a few times a year and this was the best yet. Beautiful views and grounds. The best stocked VRBO- and not yard sale stuff but quality cooking tools, dishes, etc. Beds were very comfortable. Very clean and well maintained. We plan on making this our go to for our future Tucson stays.

What a special house, the backyard landscaping, the pool, the hot tub and the views of the desert and mountains were all so fantastic. The house itself is beautifully done with all the amenities and a nicely stocked kitchen. I also loved that I was a 10 minute drive from numerous hikes in Saguaro National Park. Truly a special place to gather with friends/family. Highly recommended.

This property is the perfect dessert getaway. Beautiful sunsets, mountain views , a pool, hot tub and so much more. And, close to activities and restaurants. The house was very clean and ready for our arrival. Michael was a great host and was very communicative. The kitchen is well stocked as we cooked several meals during our stay finding everything we needed. Great place to unwind!

Tucson holds a special place in our hearts and Michael's home is the cherry on top! Everything is wonderful, no complaints whatsoever.

Michael's property is by far the best VRBO rental I have experienced in over 10 years. The views from the deck are incredible, the property is very convenient and at the same time gives you a sense of isolation. The kitchen is extremely well equipped making dinner parties a joy, and all the beds were very comfortable. Our only concern is that this property has varying levels in the home and on the patio, so watch your step. I would definitely return to this property in the future. It is absolutely one of a kind.

This home inside is beautifully appointed in a sophisticated but casual style. Sofas, chairs and beds are all very comfortable. There is a variety of styles of original paintings, prints, photos and pottery throughout the house. The kitchen had everything you might need to prepare meals at home. The landscaping around the home - front and back - was diverse and lovely and the view from the back patio provided beautiful mountain views with a variety of seating options in sun and shade. We used the hot tub and it was great. The owner was immediately responsive to a couple of question we had. While a little distant from downtown Tucson, that did not stop us from visiting several times. We also found some nice restaurants nearby, a great grocery -Sprouts, and much to do in the way of hiking on Mount Lemmon which is quite nearby. We highly recommend this property.
