Top Notch VRBO

This VRBO is one of the finest we've stayed at! Everything we could want or need on our week-long stay in Tucson was available for us. The home was well-stocked with essentials, the beds were comfortable, and the living spaces were perfect. The patio in back provided tables and chairs for eating and lounge chairs for relaxing in a remarkable setting. The home was close to the Santa Catalina mountains and close to grocery stores and restaurants in Oro Valley. We would definitely recommend the Casa Rancho Feliz!

Casa Feliz es Hermosa!

Our 2-week stay in early March couldn't have been better. Ditto to All the Things praised by previous reviewers. Richard was available, responsive and involved but not too involved, lol. So many thoughtful touches -- everything we needed and then some. Husband -- a former professional cook -- found the kitchen setup and grill ideal; we ate in more often than not. I even used the keyboard and violin in the music room a little, so lovely to have that option! The lovely, artistic landscaping especially in back was a serene post-outing oasis with quail trotting by, gila woodpeckers, verdins, phainopepla, and a trio of Harris hawks that hung out in the area almost daily. Neat, quiet midcentury neighborhood. Nearby restaurants we loved: Wildflower, Oregano's Pizza, and brunch at Tohono Chul (plus their Friday night jazz series!). Historic Casa Molina is a little further away, good Mexican food. In the past we've also liked Vivace and El Charro downtown. Hiking was great at Honeybee Canyon, Picachu Peak, Sabino Canyon, and Signal Hill in Saguaro N.P. West unit. We love Casa Feliz! Thanks Richard!

Relaxing desert retreat

From check in to check out, a very smooth process. The house was well equipped for cooking or just kicking back after a day of hiking or golfing. The back yard was beautiful, especially relaxing with the lights in the evening. Close to a variety of cafes and markets, very convenient. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Richard

Host profile image
We are retired but have lived in Tucson since 1973. I moved here from NYC where I worked for Forbes Magazine. I graduated from UA and had my own business for 28 years. We chose Tucson because of the mountains, tranquility and lifestyle and of course the Sonoran desert.
We started coming here to visit friends and the charm of Tucson just grew on us. Life has taken some of our children and grandchildren to other places but we still love living in the desert.

Why they chose this property

It is on a cul de sac and free from traffic. We also loved the view of the mountains and the peacefulness of being on an acre of desert.

What makes this property unique

Quiet cul de sac, true desert experience, close to everything, mountain views, native landscaping, amenities.
