Relaxing Post Holiday Getaway

My family stayed at Sweet Dessert Retreat the first week of the new year. We’ve stayed at many VRBOs and have never had such a lovely experience. We arrived hungrier than expected and were thrilled to find fresh bread and muffins. Marg’s place is beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need. Even nice robes. The kitchen was more stocked with cookery than my own kitchen so we were able to enjoy many easy meals without going out. The view from the balcony is stunning! Oro Valley is a terrific vacation spot. Lots hiking trails,walking trails, ice cream shops, wineries and restaurants. I could not say enough nice things about our stay❤️

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Willms

My husband and I purchased the casita 4 years ago to use as a getaway from the busy city. We would come and spend long weekends enjoying the Arizona sun, stargazing., wildlife, restaurants, and pool. We fell in love with the casita and the area because of the beautiful peaceful surroundings.
When we recently retired and moved here full-time, we kept the casita because it was so special to us. We are now offering it to others who would like to take a breather from a busy life and regroup and refresh.
We are living in Oro Valley within a mile of the casita. We are available should any issue arise during your stay.
Our goal is to make your time here as delightful as it can be.
You will feel welcome here!

Why they chose this property

Vistoso Resort Casitas is a safe, small and friendly community. The casita balcony looks out over green space with wildlife and gorgeous mountain views. Walking and biking trails abound.
