Tucson Golf Trip

All three of us were very impressed with the property. Roomy with all of the bells and whistles. Kitchen pantry was well stocked with staples and even some extras. Owner was very communicative and everything went without a hitch. Back yard/patio very enjoyable. Would definitely do it again.

A great stay

As soon as we walked in we all said to each other that this is one of the best VRBO properties we have stayed in. It is completely as advertised. We are all cooks, and the kitchen and pantry were well equipped and supplied. The two master bedrooms provided great space and privacy. We did experience a loud band next door (holiday celebration), and Melissa took care of it by having the police show up asking them to be considerate. We had a very pleasant stay here.

Tucson perfection

I’m in Tucson working for 4 months, and I have had terrible luck with housing until here. I chose this place because I had expected to have my family with me, but plans changed, however it was perfect for everyone. This place was clean, so cozy, beautiful, safe neighborhood away from the drugs. They literally have every Kitchen utensil you would need. Just an amazing place, would stay again and highly recommend

Wonderful stay

The house is in one of the nicer looking neighborhoods in Tucson. It was easy to get to Kino Sports Complex where our Granddaughter’s soccer tournament was being played and the Tucson Airport. Lots of shopping close. The house was clean and very comfortable for our group. We were a little disappointed that the neighbors played loud music every night we were there (Wed.- Sun) with Saturday night being a large group that went till 3:00 in the morning. However, that isn’t something the host can control. The things that could be controlled by the host were great.

Fantastic, Very much like moving into a new furnished house!

Marissa and I thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at The Beehive! It was as close to moving in to a new furnished home as could be possible. We particularly liked the dining and kitchen area, new appliances and spacious floor outlay. The icing on the cake was the newly renovated back yard. We spent several afternoons relaxing in the very private sunny setting area with a spectacular view of not only the Beehive, but another mountain range. Can't wait to return for another visit to southern Tucson.

1st Grandchild Visit

My husband who has ADA needs, his sister and our 5 yr old dog who’d never been this far from home visited in April. The property is beautiful, well appointed and sparkling clean. The neighborhood is well maintained and there is a trailhead right at the end of the street. The only negative related to the fact that there was no hand held shower wand in the master bathroom and there was no dresser drawer space in either of the bedrooms. Otherwise, it is truly a beautiful place that I would highly recommend. Also, the host was very great at communicating.

Exceptional property

We couldn't have been happier or more comfortable during our week at The Beehive. Although the weather was chilly and it rained several times, we still got in a couple hikes on the Bittersweet Trail which is easily accessible by foot or short drive. On the warmest day we golfed at El Rio which is less than 20 minutes away. The lovely view of the well-landscaped back yard prevented us from feeling closed-in when the weather was less than wonderful. The home is beautifully decorated with a fully stocked and equipped kitchen, comfortable furniture and king size bed. Everything was white-glove clean throughout. We grilled several times, and it was great to not be dependent upon restaurant meals. Our host allowed us to use the garage which saved us from getting drenched coming home during a downpour. It was really nice working directly with the owner rather than dealing with a management company like we have for past rentals. Many thanks for such a pleasant vacation from ice and snow!

Fantastic wonderful accommodations, location, and hosting

This property couldn't be located in a better spot. Quiet residential neighborhood bordering Tucson Mountain Park. We hiked almost every day and there is the Bittersweet Trailhead 0.9 mile walk from the front door!! The Beehive Mountain at the end of the block is gorgeous. One night we heard coyotes howling at dusk while hiking nearby. Tweny minute drive and you are in downtown Tucson to enjoy theater, music, and great dining. We went to three concerts at the sensational FOX theater and dined at the Cup Cafe in the courtyard of the historic Congress Hotel. Sabino Canyon is about 45 minutes drive with incredible hikes and views. The Desert Museum is about 15 minute drive and all the great hiking nearby. We did Wasson Peak, Kings Canyon petroglyphs, Brown Mt Loop, and many others. We enjoyed the Linda McCartney photo exhibit at U Arizona. The two master bedrooms were great for when my sister visited and my brother and his wife. Every comfort was afforded including a wide range of spices, paper products, dish soap, and garbage bags. They even have an electric tea kettle. The weather did not allow much use of the back yard. But we hope to return and get a chance for more backyard enjoyment. We did grill twice and that worked very well. The private office was great for the work I did in the mornings and never had a problem with internet connection. Large screen TVs throughout the house worked perfectly, but we were so tired from hiking and having fun that we usually feel asleep!

Perfect place to stay when we were in town for U of A Family Weekend! House was updated, very clean, and well stocked with everything we could possibly need. Quiet, very safe neighborhood, and really nice trails just beyond the end of the road for a morning walk. Easy 15-20ish minute drive up to campus, but there was a Starbucks etc within a mile. We would absolutely stay at this home again when in town to visit our son!

We couldn’t have been happier staying at this home. The owners were so kind and helpful with everything. The house was clean and had absolutely everything we could possibly need or want.

Our second stay here but this time for a full month. Very comfortable home for us and our small dog with everything we needed. We hosted nearby and visiting family a few times and had plenty of space inside and out. Great patio and outdoor space and we so enjoyed sitting out there especially in the evenings!
