The outside has is freshly painted. The style of the home is called territorial which is popular in east side Tucson. These homes feature a flat roof.

Gas heat is needed to keep pool swimmable from Nov 1-March 30 and is $249 for the first day and $129 for each subsequent day and keeps it at a ridiculously warm 90 degrees. Gas heat in the warmer months from April1-Sep30 is $129 for the first day and $89 for each subsequent day and will guarantee the pool at 90 degrees. Gas heat is available year-round, in case the weather is too cold on the day you arrive for the electric or solar heater to be effective. The solar blanket is required year round to keep Mother Nature happy, it reduces energy loss by 90%. If you select one add-on, it must be for all days of your booking, not just one day. 90 degrees is similar temperature to a warm bath. Just let us know after booking if you want to add the gas heat.

Worst property ever. Currently working on an open dispute claim for a refund through VRBO and my credit card company. Upon 5PM agreed upon check-in, cleaning crew (2 men) and their dog and 1 woman were in the house mopping, cleaning the whole house, nothing done before we arrived. Beds not made. It took 1 hour before completed while we waited. After they left: hair in bath tub drain, hair on bathroom floor, dishes in dishwasher. Patio furniture dirty and worn out, debris on back patio, filthy oven mitts, NO hand towels or wash cloths in entire home. Door lock wouldn't unlock upon our return from an excursion, it took management 10 minutes on the phone to remotely give us access. Day 2 we were informed washer repair man would be arriving (Broken washer), an unwanted intrusion on our private time. He was not able to fix it - so no washer. Chipped paint, dirty ceiling fans, overall dirty and not at all clean and attractive as depicted in the VRBO's photos.
Patio furniture worn, torn, burn holes, dirty

Was Okay.

You can tell the home has had some abuse by others that have stayed there. Our bedroom door latch was janky but workable. Our master bath was missing one of the shower doors, so the floor would get wet. They said they knew of all the problems. I then assumed they knew there was only one door on the shower. The place was clean for the most part, though the ceiling fans in some rooms could be cleaned better. They did send someone to replace the gas tank on the grill, as the tank was empty. They were responsive to our calls. We did enjoy the neighborhood.

Home was plenty large. Washer/dryer a plus. Communication with host was timely. Very pet friendly. Pool was nice but not utilized much. Cleanliness was problematic. We spent the majority of our first day there waiting for/ then walking the maintenance person through what needed to be cleaned. We weren’t going to leave our things with someone we did not know. However Daniel did a great job cleaning. A few things to help guests: bath mats; hand towels and wash cloths (I went out and purchased some); hooks or towel bars in bathrooms to hang towels/wet towels; lawn chairs to use around the pool. The cushions on outdoor patio furniture are shot—ripped, stained, cigarette burns—need replacing. The “remodeled” aspect of the advertisement I think should be removed—floors old/laminate cupping, chairs tired and worn, walls need repainting ( grimy, discolored.) I recommend you repair the glass shower door that is missing—water sprays outside the curtain and is a slip hazard everytime you shower. I also recommend you wash the curtains, esp in the living room—had white stains of some kind on them—looked like liquid of some kind was spilled on them. The baseboards need repairing, the step down bedroom by the laundry room is a definite accident waiting to happen regardless of the signage—the “watch your step” sign was not a good look. The first impression at the front door—the missing paint—gave me a clue of what I might find inside. Overall the stay was good.

The property manager responded promptly. The property required better cleaning and maintenance. I was concerned about possible injury to toddler staying with us due to exposed carpet tacks, fence rusted through and loose, and broken furniture, etc. Internet did not work until we contacted the internet provider and fixed it - 24 hours after checking in and trying to resolve with property manager. Pool had black algae, manager sent a person they described as a pool expert to resolve the problem, the "expert" told us she had never cleaned a pool before. Three laborers came to the house to work in it, two if which had bid on the work on a job app and had no idea what they were supposed to do. Property manager moved us to a new house after two days. He said his resolution specialist would contact me within three days. One week later, still no contact.
