About this property

Casa Tranquila~ Peaceful Santa Rita Desert Retreat

Every detail of Casa Tranquila has been thoughtfully renovated and intentionally designed to create a home that feels warm, welcoming, and effortlessly comfortable. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert, our home blends earthy textures, curated décor, and inviting spaces that we hope will encourage you to slow down, relax, and simply enjoy where you are.

The heart of Casa Tranquila is its spacious open-concept kitchen and dining area, where thoughtfully selected finishes, premium appliances, and a gas range create an inviting space for both everyday living and memorable meals. The large farmhouse dining table naturally becomes a gathering place—whether you’re sharing dinner, working remotely, enjoying a leisurely breakfast, or lingering over conversation long after the dishes are cleared.

The open concept living area is anchored by an original 120-year-old piano whose timeless character and beautifully tuned sound reflect the warmth and authenticity found throughout the home. The soft warmth welcomed in this space invites conversation, quiet evenings, or simply slowing down after a busy day of work or exploring. Browse our home’s extensive library or curl up to one of your favorite movies to cap your evening.

The spacious primary suite is designed with rest in mind, featuring a premium organic latex hybrid king mattress and a spa-inspired ensuite bath with a spacious walk-in shower and dual vanities. The inviting second bedroom provides a peaceful retreat for family, friends, or colleagues traveling together and features a premium queen-size organic latex hybrid mattress. And just steps away, a beautifully renovated full bath with rustic touches and a soaking tub for relaxing after a long day.

Whether you’re working remotely or simply catching up between adventures, the dedicated desk space offers high-speed Wi-Fi, an external monitor, Bluetooth keyboard, and mouse—creating a workspace that’s both comfortable and productive. And a private home gym makes it easy to maintain your wellness routine without leaving the house.

One of Casa Tranquila’s favorite gathering places is the backyard. Relax beneath café lights with a glass of wine, enjoy your morning coffee on the patio, fire up the grill, or simply take in Arizona’s beautiful sunsets and peaceful desert evenings.

Additional comforts include:

• Whole-home water filtration system

• Reverse osmosis drinking water

• Full-size washer and dryer

• Smart TVs

• Attached garage/gym

• Beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces

• Thoughtfully selected furnishings throughout

Whether you’re staying for a week, a month, or an entire season, Casa Tranquila was designed to offer more than a place to stay—it was created to feel like home.

Great location for a base to explore the Tucson area. We loved coming home each day to this cool little oasis and sitting in the evening watching the sunset for the cozy backyard. Joyce was very attentive and we had everything we needed. Especially appreciated the coffee beans for the week! Nice treat!

Staying at Joyce's house was a real joy! Clean,organized and super comfortable. Beautifully decorated with everything we needed for our 3 week stay. The kitchen was a joy to prepare meals in and the courtyard off the kitchen in the back was peaceful,complete with a water feature. Joyce was a wonderful,respectful host. The neighborhood has a suburb feel,quiet yet close to rural spaces so we often heard coyotes yipping and the sky dark enough to see brilliant stars. A lovely experience in every way.

About the host

Hosted by Joyce

Host profile image
Hi there! My name is Joyce Elizabeth, and I am so honored to offer my special home of 14 years. Our home holds a rich family history, where I loved raising my two kids and poured my heart and soul into creating a beautiful space for us to enjoy. Sadly, we have moved on to another home more convenient to school, but we are grateful that we have the opportunity to share our space as we just couldn't part with letting it go. So, we decided to offer our home for others to enjoy while we venture onto new places and paths in life. It's a place we'll always call home!

Why they chose this property

Living in Corona De Tucson provided a safe and quiet place to raise my kids without being too far from the city. It's cleaner and brighter at night and I never felt unsafe here.
