Great stay at the casita. Property is clean, well kept, secure, and conveniently located to area restaurants and markets. Casita was very comfortable and the pool was nice.

Great convenient location. Very nice intimate grounds.
This was our second time staying at this property and it was great both times. The property is well kept and very close to grocery shopping. Will come again.
We stayed here last year and then again this year and it was perfect for our needs. We have two small dogs and the enclosed patio was perfect for them.

Thank you, Kelly, we appreciate your comments! We are happy to know you like the place, and hope to see you again when your travels bring you to the ol' Pueblo!
We were moved a couple of times due to other guests extending their stay. The casita was well furnished and had all the amenities we needed. We would definitely stay there again.

Thank you for your flexibility! We appreciate it, we do have guests that extend, and luckily, we have 14 casitas. Thanks again, Sara!
Cute little apartment, seemed very clean. It's nice that it's gated, gives an extra level of security. Too cold for the pool during the time of year we were there, but the pool looked amazing. We will stay here again on our next trip to Tucson.
Love the comfortable, coziness. Easy access to a gorgeous pool. And so quiet! The kitchen was well stocked and bigger than mine at home! Every visit to Tucson I will be searching for a stay here! Conveniently located to my daughter, grocery and restaurants. A true gem!
We liked the decor and spot in general. It was tricky to find the sweet spot on any faucet for hot water. The bed was quite uncomfortable.
We enjoyed watching and listening to the birds.

Thank you, Teri. I will look into the bed and hot water and solve those issues, I appreciate your telling me about them. I am glad you generally liked the place and I hope you will return again. Thank you!
Great space for my husband and I to have happy hour by the pool and a nice dinner in the kitchen. Space has been updated with nice tile and appliances. Host very responsive.
Property has great potential but needs a little TLC and furniture updating.
Location good for touring Tucson and while the facility itself was quite the unit has thin walls. The traffic outside the contained facility was very busy.

We are located near many amenities: a huge shopping mall, many great restaurants, walking/biking trails, and so this is perhaps why this elderly couple thought the nearby traffic was busy--the street this property is on, is a quiet residential street. This particular unit is near the pool, perhaps they heard others talking at the pool, as this unit is not attached to any other rentals.
Aside from issues with the entry code, we enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was clean and the mattress and seating were comfortable. When we were unable to get in several times, Maria responded quickly and made sure that the technical situation was fixed the following day.

Thank you, Elisabeth! We appreciate your patience with the door issue-glad we were able to get it fixed immediately!
We were looking for a short stay in Tucson with our dog, and this place was perfect. It is ideal for a couple and as an added bonus it is dog friendly! It is exactly as the photos describe. Only wish it had been warm enough to get into the pool. Close to shopping and dining, and not too far from the hiking trails we wanted to explore. The bed was super comfy, the shower was great, loved having a washer and dryer, kitchen was fully stocker, and loved soaking up the sun on the small patio.I felt safe here with the gates into and out of the property. The casita had all the amenities we needed for our stay. Would I stay here again, you betcha.

Thank you so much, Lori! We are happy to know you liked the place and hope you will return again when in town. Thanks again!
The property was exactly as advertised, it’s small but very well laid out & was so efficient we didn’t notice the smaller size. Loved that there was real cable TV(not Roku). The grounds were very clean and well kept. Wish we could have used the pool but it was too chilly for that! Also loved the in-unit laundry too. The community is centrally located and we liked it so much we reserved already for next year!

Could be nicer
The unit was fine. It met our needs however the property needs work. The gas grills were shot and the patio furniture needs to be replaced. The outside table was covered with bird poop and hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. The neighborhood borders on the lower income side of town but 2 blocks away you are in a much nicer section of Tucson.

Please have a look at our other reviews. We always heed what is stated and we will certainly have a look at the furnishings and replace what is necessary. Our grill is in good working order, I just checked it, and also checked the birds activities--we cannot always keep outside items away from the birds but clean after them when we can!
My Mom lives 5 minutes away from these Casitas, and I decided on staying here because I read some recent positive reviews. We loved our 4 night stay in Casita P! The upgrades were lovely, and everything was easy to figure out. We loved that we used the same code to get in gate and into our unit. The complex was sooooo quiet, so we slept great! The king bed was comfortable. The only negative was that the couch was not very comfortable, but we weren't there to watch TV, so no biggie. The owners were very quick to respond to my communications. I appreciated that I got my security deposit back within 24 hours. Thank you, and I'll definitely be staying at these Casitas again!

Thank you, Arlene! We have a new sofa and new recliner, both leather in casita N. Thank you for your lengthy review, we appreciate hearing what you like so we can do more of it!
Very clean.eveything worked.Did not even turn on TV as we we out early and returned late.On advertise ( pics of unit) an extra bathroom was shown,but we knew it wa a one bath.Only concern was it took forever for warm or hot waster to start flowing. This was a big waste of water in the desert.For that reason alone I would bypass that unit in the future.
