We had a lovely stay and plenty of room. The pool and hot tub were great! Two small notes: 1) Tiles outside the entry way should be repaired, and 2) An instruction book for checkout and other information would be helpful.
The host was very responsive to our questions re. how to get the dishwasher to work, etc. The pool was a hit, and the kids (even adults) enjoyed the pool toys!
The house was exactly as advertised. It accommodated our large family of 15 and everyone was comfortable. If there were any issues or we needed assistance, the host was very quick to respond.
Plenty of beds and showers for all of us, great location, killer golf within 20 minutes every direction. Several restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance was a total bonus!
This property worked so well for our family coming together from 4 states. We had the best time here. It was awesome!! We will be back!! Thanks for sharing your home!!
We were in Tucson for a sports event that spawned 4 days and found the owner very responsive, property was easy to access and so close to shopping and more.
My family, 3 daughters, 3 sons-in-law, 9 grandkids, and myself had a wonderful stay in this spacious home. Easy walking to groceries, short drives to many amenities, easy navigation to multiple attractions. The heated pool was a definite win! Great backyard. Host was very responsive when emailed. Definitely recommended!
Large home with plenty of rooms in a great northern Tucson neighborhood. Family enjoyed our 3 day staycation and took full advantage of the large pool. Would gladly return in the future.

It is in a quiet neighborhood. We were in town for a wedding and it worked perfectly for all of us! The beds were very comfortable. I do wish they had queen beds instead of full in two of the rooms though. The owner was very responsive and helpful!
We enjoyed the house immensely. Even though it was November the kids swam everyay. The outside temperature was in the low 70's every day. Pool was heated. Enough beds for 12 people and plenty of bathrooms. House was great and location was perfect.
This property was great for our small college competition team to stay in! There were tons of beds and bathrooms, the place was very clean, and all the amenities were as advertised. The location was excellent and quiet, there was a nice plaza right next door for groceries, etc., and the driveway was perfect for our multiple cars. We loved to pool and hot tub, and I especially appreciated the awesome grill! Great place to stay and will use again in the future!
We enjoyed our stay. The house was great for our family. The kids loved the pool and we all enjoyed the hot tub. The location was great for what we wanted to do. It would have been nice to have another garbage can - 14 people for a week generates more than one can when there is not recycle. We very much enjoyed our stay at your house.
The property was ideal for a large/extended family. The actual property was even better than expected from the pictures online. The host was very responsive on some issues around check in, which is the only time there were any issues. overall, a wonderful experience.
Excellent family friendly home with a great location
House was roomy and pool was enjoyable. The location of the home was so convenient and close to a lot of shopping/grocery stores. Only down side was that the air conditioner in one of the back bedrooms was not blowing any cold air into the room, making the room not useable so 3 beds were out of “commission”. The homeowner was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire stay. Would def stay here again.

Marla - thank you for the review. We found the problem with the “Outback” AC unit and have fixed it. I wish you safe travels and see you again!
Under the “Amenities-Pool & Spa” section of the listing, it indicates that there is a “hot tub” and “heated pool.” I emailed Kaleb on Friday: “Can you please tell me how to heat the pool and hot tub? Both are cold. Also, how do I turn on the hanging lights in the back? Thank you.” He responded: “Lights are on turned on via a switch I the outback room (key was on the kitchen table) spa heat is not turned on this time of year. We show it has a current temp averaging around 80f.” I responded: “So there’s no heater for the spa? It’s very cold. Therey was no response to that

John, I’m sorry your stay did not meet your expectations. I did my best to respond quickly to your messages and offered to send my cleaners back to address your concerns, but you did not reply. You later began messaging around midnight about the pool temperature — I promptly checked and confirmed it was at 80°F, which is standard and clearly noted in the listing. The check-in instructions also included step-by-step directions for heating the spa, which you chose not to follow.
The temporary internet issue you experienced was a Cox Communications service outage — something outside of my control. As for the “dirty toilets,” they were recently cleaned; what you observed were mineral stains common in the area, not a lack of cleaning.
I also offered you a full refund despite these issues being either cosmetic or beyond my control, and you declined to respond. Unfortunately, your lack of communication and late-night messages made hosting extremely difficult. I value every guest’s experience, but this was not a fair or accurate representation of the home or the hospitality provided.
We had the absolute time of our lives in this great home!Plenty of room for everyone and so much comfort. Every single bed was so comfortable that we didn't even miss our beds from home. The kitchen was stocked well. My only complaint would be that one trash can I not enough room sor such a big house especially if you are hosting small gatherings. The pool area was great and plenty of room for the dogs to stay happy.
I believe I can speak for everyone in saying that we enjoyed our stay so much at your estate. We had all 6 of our grandchildren there as well as our three kids and was also able to enjoy a small grad party for our son. The kids LOVED the pool. Sitting out there on the deck at night after the kids were all tucked in bed was so peaceful and enjoyable. Thanks for allowing us to stay.
We had a good time.There were a couple of Hiccups the bathroom door knob came loose and my dad got stuck on the restroom. The kitchen faucet was not bolted down so real hard to use. Great neighborhood. Pool was cool but so much fun.

I keep the home well-maintained, clean, and fully stocked for all types of travelers — families, snowbirds, medical students, pilots, and long-term professionals.
I’m close by if you need anything at all. Your comfort is my priority!
