Very clean and spacious house in good central location

Our family of 5 stayed here and had a great time. The location is pretty central in midtown / North Tucson. The neighborhood is nice and the house, instructions, and support were all excellent. Plenty of linens, kitchen supplies, etc. I would recommend!

We stayed a couple nights at this lovely home. It was very clean and looks like the photos. Communication with the owner/manager was excellent. We didn’t cook there, but the kitchen is set up with enough to make meals. The pool was nice looking, although we didn’t use it, and had a shaded area. This home is in a gated community which has nice landscaping and feels safe. We would definitely stay here again.

Tucson has a lot to offer and the “Desert Casa...” worked great for our needs. The location is convenient for gathering daily necessities, shopping, as well as day trips and excursions. The home sits within a gated community with well-maintained grounds and amenities. The home itself is spacious, and the backyard court is expansive with plenty of space for cooking, relaxing, and playing. Stephen, the host, was PHENOMENAL... He is amazingly friendly and was responsive to our inquiries. We weren't there but for a few days and already booked our next visit at the "Desert Casa".

Updated, comfortable, spacious, well-thought out, RELAXING!!

My husband and our son came from the north and met up with my parents from the midwest. We had such an amazing time and Snowbird friendly home was outstanding!! Excellent communication with host, beautiful updates, calming color scheme, ample cozy linens, very clean and well-kept. Loved the porch area for outside with privacy. Check-in/out was so simple, binder with instructions. Quiet gated neighborhood and plenty of restaurants, Desert Museum, Nat'l Park more are not far. I can't say enough positive about this home/our stay. Would LOVE to come back another time if fortunate enough!!
