We designed our home for digital nomads and worldschooling families in mind. We have 3 workstations, one with a monitor, and all within bedrooms so you can close the door and focus while the others are having fun. We have the highest speed wifi package with extenders so you can work outdoors while soaking up the desert sun.
Our game room has shuffleboard and air hockey, and there are 4 new Roku TVs throughout the home.
We have a thorough cleaning protocol and the house is eco-friendly. Features include recycling, energy-efficient LED lighting, dual flush toilets, native landscaping for low water usage and an in-fridge water filter for great quality drinking water.
HOT TUB: Kept hot and can be used year round.
POOL: The pool is not heated and will generally be a comfortable temp from the beginning of May to the end of September.
KID FRIENDLY: For infants and toddlers, we have provided a pack & play, high chair, bibs and kids’ plates and cups. There are also lots of games provided for older kids and the whole family!
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES: If you are looking for outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, golf, birding or stargazing, this location can't be beat. Within a 5-20 minute drive from the house:
✓ dozens of hiking and bike trails for all experience levels
✓ On the birding trail with 10 local sites
✓ several highly rated golf courses
✓ several dark sky astronomy sites
LOCAL ARTISTS: Tucson is home to incredibly talented artists, and we are proud to showcase custom pieces throughout the house, including our murals and doors.
FOOD AND DRINKS: If you're looking for food culture, Tucson and Southern Arizona delivers. Local eateries, coffee shops, breweries and the Sonoita wine region - there are so many amazing choices... ask us for our recommendations!
EASY CHECKOUT: We want your checkout to be easy so you can enjoy your final morning at Vista Verano. We only ask that you gather your belongings and lock up - leave the rest to us.

About the host
Hosted by Laurel and Brian Collins

We are a busy family of four. We love to travel, go hiking and and hang with friends and family. We are excited to share our property with you!
Why they chose this property
This beautiful corner of Tucson has the best of both worlds - it's convenient to restaurants and shops, but also feels "out" in a natural desert landscape and at the base of the Catalina mountains. We love how secluded it feels, even though it's in a neighborhood. And it is just SO quiet and dark at night!
What makes this property unique
We've designed the home to be both beautiful and functional with lots of spaces to relax and connect while soaking up the desert sun and views.
We love to cook and enjoy time with family and friends over a meal - the kitchen is well-stocked for your convenience.
Laurel works remote and understands the importance of having a comfortable space with high speed wi-fi; we have 3 workstations in the home.
