About the host
Hosted by Erica K.

As a natural entrepreneur, I've relished the autonomy and flexibility that come with charting my own course. Traveling has been a passion of mine, with annual sojourns to both sandy beaches and far-flung corners of the globe. At Villa Blanca, you'll discover exotic keepsakes from my adventures adorning the space, infusing it with a worldly flair.
Growing up right here in Tucson, on this very property, I felt compelled to name my cherished bungalow in homage to my mother, my family, and the rich heritage of this house. Thus, Villa Blanca was born, a nod to the "white house" where childhood memories were made. When I'm in Tucson, you might catch me landscaping, tending to mesquite trees, Peruvian apple cacti, or native willows on my properties, including Villa Blanca Pajaro and others.
Cooking has always been a joy for me – I love entertaining loved ones and orchestrating social gatherings. I'm eager to extend that hospitality to you during your time in Tucson!

Why they chose this property
During the 1960s, my parents were tenants of the carriage house while pursuing their studies at the University of Arizona. Serendipitously, they stumbled upon an ad in the newspaper listing Villa Blanca Pajaro for sale. Astonishingly, it happened to be our landlords who cherished my parents and favored them over another prospective buyer. With the generous assistance of my grandmother for a down payment, my parents transitioned to the front house and raised my sisters and me there. In 2010, Villa Blanca Pajaro transitioned through the generations, from my grandmother to my mother and sister, before coming into my possession. Now, I'm thrilled to share it with you as Villa Blanca Pajaro.
What makes this property unique
Villa Blanca Pajaro holds a special place in my heart—it's not just a house, but a haven filled with warmth and cherished memories. From festive Christmas trees to playful Easter bunnies, from cozy Thanksgiving dinners to lazy afternoons watching Sesame Street on the living room floor, and from carefree cartwheels in the front yard to shared giggles with friends, this home has witnessed it all. It's been the starting point for walks to school, the backdrop for breakfasts at Rincon (now Flora's) Market, and the launchpad for bicycling adventures to the University of Arizona.
Now, it's your turn to add to this tapestry of memories and experience the affection and coziness of Villa Blanca Pajaro—a true family home awaiting new moments and stories to unfold.
