Stunning house with an even better outdoor living area! The house was very clean and had everything we needed to make meals for our family over Thanksgiving Break. I can’t say enough about the back patio, sitting in the hot tub after a long day was just what we needed. Privacy and Mountain View’s that take your breath away, I can’t recommend this place enough!

The home was very clean and spacious. The outdoor area was very private and the hottub was excellent. The sound system with individual sound in the rooms and the outdoor area was a very nice feature. The stone babbling brook was very calming and relaxing. I also felt very safe in the beautiful gated community. Definitely recommend! Excellent communication with the host.

Fabulous stay!

We trekked up a wicked canyon every second day and lounged in this luxurious home between hikes. Thoughtful details and amenities everywhere including: tasteful art, interesting botany, howling coyotes, quiet day and night, spacious interior and spa areas and above all - kind and easygoing hosts.

About the host

Hosted by Preben Martin

Host profile image
We are Seattle natives, and now primarily live on Vashon Island in WA State. We also spend time in our Seattle condo (VRBO 201730), our desert home in Tucson, AZ and our condo in Hawaii (VRBO 190187), all of which are also available to rent through VRBO. Working in sports television has its perks, but after many days on the road our favorite things to do are spend relaxing days in the beautiful places we call home. Tucson is one of our favorite places on Earth and we hope you are able to enjoy it as well!

Best!
Nicole and Preben Martin

Why they chose this property

We love Tucson and are there as often as possible. Unfortunately our jobs keep us away too often, so we share our property with friends, family and VRBO renters! We think the Catalina Foothills provide some of the most beautiful vistas in the world which is why we call it home from time to time. That, and the endless blue sky, sunshine and great food!

What makes this property unique

We built our home as a primary residence, so it has many custom features and upgrades that other rental properties may not have. We hand selected the lot and interior finishes, put lots of love and thought into the back yard amenities and added windows and positioned the house to perfectly take in the stunning views. We know you'll love it too!
