Excellent stay in this 2 bedroom and 2 bath home! The host provided for all needs. Kitchen was well stocked w/kitchen tools, pots and pans, and dishes. Lovely terry cloth robes to use in each bedroom. House had a lovely layout, including front and back enclosed patios for privacy. Loved the large landscaped desert lot. We look forward to coming back to this same house next year as Tucson offers so much to do, and this house is well situated to take advantage of it all.

I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at Casa Feliz. We appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back again.
Wonderful stay in a fantastic home. We felt close to nature, (including humming birds) in what is a private nature sanctuary. Our host was very welcoming and attentive to our needs. If you are traveling to the Tucson area, this home should be at the your list of places to stay. I would give the home 10 stars if I had the option.

Well thank you so much and we enjoyed meeting you and having you as guests. My wife and I also enjoy hiking and spending time in the Sonoran desert. It is a special part of Arizona. Thank you for your kind review and I hope to see you both again.
We enjoyed staying here. It is clean and has everything you need. The host was wonderful to work with. We stayed for two weeks and explored Tucson and the surrounding area. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the area.

About the host
Hosted by Richard
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.
