The home at La Paloma is a true home away from home—impeccably clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The home boasts a well-stocked cook’s kitchen, an incredible desert setting, and an outdoor space that beckons. Our hosts could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Everything was as expected from the listing, and even better in person. We’ve stayed a few weeks in several Tucson homes, and this is by far the best!
We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful and comfortable home. The views of the saguaro and cactus were amazing. We enjoyed all of the amenities including the hot tub, hammock and pool table. We hope to come again on our next visit.
This was one of the best properties we have stayed in. Very spacious, clean, nice views and great location. We will strongly consider this property when we visit Tucson next time.
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 is in such a lovely setting and easy location to
go anywhere. They have everything you need for you to enjoy your stay. Our stay was absolutely wonderful.
Was a excelent vacation the location house cant be better …beautiful views, nice places to walk. The house has every things that we need
We enjoy Tucson !
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.

It was our pleasure to have you stay and grateful that you enjoy all the little touches the same that we do. Please visit again!
Just enjoyed a week long stay at Preben's Tucson home with my husband and adult children. The property was exactly as advertised - spacious, well appointed and very clean. Communication with the host before and during our stay was great.We only wish the weather had been a little kinder, but it was a lovely get away!

We are grateful for your stay and communications with us.
The house has stunning views and the outdoor space is fantastic. We enjoyed the hot tub and firepit as well as the grill. The open concept living/dining area was perfect for our group. The owner was very responsive to all inquiries and a pleasure to work with.
Wonderful house, location and hosts. The backyard has a great Mountain View and is very conducive to relaxation with the hot tub and the hammock. The house is well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms

About the host
Hosted by Preben Martin
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!
