Very nice property. Grounds are excellent. Property was very clean. We enjoyed out stay. Would stay again. The 500 deposit may keep some more messy guests from making a mess. We are clean, tidy and conscientious. Thank You.

The deposit is for more than just messy guests. Some ruin things that we have to spend money on to replace.
We enjoyed our stay thoroughly, the pictures are very close to what the actual place looks like and has all the essentials. Great location as well, close to a lot of stores. would recommend booking.

The unit was very clean and just as described. Very close to grocery store which was convenient. Love the secure parking and the little wagon was great for transporting luggage and groceries. Would definitely stay there again.

Thank you, Lynn! We are so happy to know you like our vacation rentals. Thanks again for the nice review!
Very quiet location. Close to amenities. Most of the vacation spots visited were within a couple of hours. Always great to come back to casitas and relax.
My friend and I stayed here on a visit to Saguaro. It’s not far from either part of the park, and conveniently located near a grocery store, Walmart, and several other shops. The property was clean, the kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, etc. The parking area is gated so you know your car is safe and the common areas are well maintained.
Comfortable roomy and clean suite for a small group. Loved that I had a closed in patio to let my pups out in. Pool was refreshing and bbq area was great! The owners were very prompt when I reached out. Area was good for shopping and close to downtown. Would book again.
This is a nice apartment convenient to everything in Tucson. It is accurately reflected in the listing and we would have no hesitation recommending it to others visiting the area.

Thank you, Andy! We are happy that you like the place!
Property was spotless clean and very quiet. Premise was appealing. We loved the fact that smoking was only allowed on the parking lot. This property is in a gated community which made us feel safe.

Thank you, Thomas! We are happy to know you like the place and invite you back again when in town. Thanks again for taking time to review and for your business!
We absolutely loved the Desert Morada Casitias, specifically Casita C. It was cute clean and well outfitted with a nice view of the pool and just a couple steps away from it. Would highly recommend it.
The condo was clean and we had pretty much everything that we needed.
