Fun time in Tucson

A small group of us stayed here for one night as we made our way to Saguaro National Park. The place was clean, tidy, and a great location. The only reason I’m giving is 4 stars is because the couch was insanely uncomfortable. The sections are in pieces and on wheels.

Great Hosts!

I was in Tucson because my husband was having surgery nearby they were also very accommodating because of my change in dates. This house was great for myself and my two dogs and has a big yard for them to roam around. Anytime I needed to get a hold of Taylor and Yuko they responded right away so I highly recommend this place!!

Great place to stay in Tucson

We had a nice time visiting with family in Tucson. This house worked out perfectly. The dogs enjoyed the yard and we had everything we needed at this vacation house. The owner was more than helpful with anything we needed. We would definitely stay again in the future. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home.

Comfortable house in a great location and quiet neighborhood.

The beds are comfortable and plenty of linens, towels and bedding (also paper products) are provided. The lounge area with 65 inch smart TV is spacious and the kitchen is well equipped. The yard is nicely landscaped with mature plantings. Taylor and Yuko are quick to respond to any questions. The property is close to grocery stores, pharmacies, Target etc.

Great little house

Convenient and easy access to U of A. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable living space (although TV options were disappointing). Right near bike blvd and wonderful place for morning runs and walks. Backyard was great but could use some landscaping. Also did not realize there was a separate Apt on the property. The dogs nearby were loud. And the Vrbo listing promised a grill but sadly the only one was too old to work. Would have given 5 stars otherwise.

Plenty of space for the pooch

We came into town for our first Covid-era outdoor show in downtown Tucson. We were traveling with our elderly, well-behaved dog and needed a place for him to do his business. This house worked out well for that but the furniture and beds weren't the most comfortable. The sofa was a sectional and all of the pieces separated constantly. The beds were acceptable for one, but not 2 normal sized adults. There were plenty of options to figure out a way to be comfortable, but it had to be worked through. The air conditioning was amazing though!

All good except for a cat in the house

We enjoyed the house except for a stray cat that was left in the house before we got there. Luckily we are cat people and worked around a cat urine issue with the bed. Owner was very accommodating and washed everything or us. He helped us capture the cat and get it back to the owners who stayed before us. This was completely out of their control but one of the risks with a pet friendly VRBO house. I would not expect this to be an issue again.

About the host

Hosted by Taylor Bard

Host profile image
Taylor - I'm originally from Oxford Pennsylvania though Arizona has been my home since 1997 and I absolutely love it! Cooking, gardening and reading are just a few of my favorite things to do in my spare time. I love to travel and am very friendly and personable and enjoy meeting new people from all over the United States and beyond. With that said, hosting is something I enjoy very much :)

Motto: " Live for today, Plan for tomorrow, and Learn from Yesterday"

Yuko - Born and raised in Japan until Junior High, went to High school and college in Tucson Az. Just started my apt in Fukuoka as rental , for I plan on returning to Arizona here in the near future, though Fukuoka will always be "home". Keeping my place there keeps me connected for when I return, Which will be 2-3 times annually. Very much a people person, and this Vacation Rental has been rather fun..:)

Together - We make a great team and We look forward to meeting more people via VRBO
