The Casita was the perfect place to stay for my trip to Tucson. Communication regarding check-in was excellent before my arrival. I had one question during the stay which was addressed immediately. The home is clean and well stocked. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Having a designated off street parking spot was an extra bonus.

Where to begin describing the terrific stay we had at Kimberly and Bob’s cozy casita?! First, our hosts greeted us in person which added a lovely touch right off the bat. The casita was immaculately clean and decorated with whimsy and flair. Everything we could possibly want for a comfortable vacation home was at our fingertips: comfy bed and linens, full kitchen, washer/dryer, outdoor patio space, and delicious restaurants within walking distance. Absolutely recommend!

This is the second time we stayed at Casita Kino and it was wonderful both times! The apartment was immaculate and had everything we needed including a washer and dryer. They even provided fresh cream, coffee, and cookies for munching! The bed was very comfortable. We had access to the lovely enclosed patio with table, chairs, umbrella and lush tropical plants. The host, Kimberly, was very friendly and accessible at all hours. She answered all of our questions right away and quickly fixed any situation that needed attention. She even brought us fresh oranges from her tree!We definitely plan to go there again the next time we are in Tucson.

Great Casita

Casita Kino was wonderful for our trip to Tucson. The central location was great for visiting Saguaro National Park, downtown Tucson (which is very nice), as well as other hikes and areas of interest. The casita itself is furnished with lots of welcoming touches that made our stay comfortable. The hosts are welcoming and very responsive. Highly recommend Casita Kino.

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly August

Host profile image

This is the perfect central Tucson location! A great neighborhood with street lights where people walk with their children and dogs in the evening or bike to one of several nearby restaurants. So close to shopping, theaters, golf, tennis, zoo, fitness track. We used to live on the outskirts of town but we feel so much more connected to our community living in midtown. Tucson is a great town; big enough to be interesting and vibrant, small enough to be friendly, and Casita Kino captures it all.

Why they chose this property

This property evokes the private, hidden corner of a southwestern hacienda. Whether you spend time indoors or out, it's our climate and culture that draws people to the Sonoran Desert. We wanted our visitors to enjoy a romantic and relaxing stay in the heart of the Old Pueblo.

What makes this property unique

Private, intimate, secluded, cozy, relaxing.
