Quiet, Peacefull stay

The home is perfect! It was comfortable, plenty of space for a small family. I suggest getting up early to see the birds in the backyard.. Also, having pool access is a great benefit. We also were grateful to be able to park in the garage, definitely a great perk that helps when it’s 114 outside :). We definitely will be booking again!

This is a beautiful and serene property that was ideal for our family. The listing photos are accurate and the owners have created an oasis for birds and native plants. We would highly recommend this house and would stay there again if we visit Tucson!

Lovely House with Desert Views

The house was charming, quiet, and private. It offered beautiful views of the surrounding desert landscape and the pool was a treat for escaping the mid-day heat. It was an easy drive to downtown Tucson or out to the desert trails. Great for a couple’s get away!

Wonderful stay at 6380B W Ina Rd

A wonderful, clean, well equipped property with great views and a lovely pool. Excellent communication as well. We truly enjoyed our stay. Our only minor hitch was that we missed that the property was 6380B not 6380 W. Ina Rd. It was in the directions instructions, but we had not used the instructions. Overall, a great property. We enjoyed sitting out and watching the wildlife.

A Perfect Stay in the Desert

Our stay at Carmella’s lovely casita was wonderful. The property was exceptionally clean , conveniently located and very well stocked. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to sit out on the backyard patio and watch the interesting assortment of birds that visited the several feeders and baths. The vegetation is gorgeous and we really felt that we were getting a true desert experience. We would definitely stay here again. visited the many feeders and bir

Loved our vacation home

The property was just as portrayed. The entire house was well appointed with everything we needed, and more. The home was very clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for 4 adults to spread out. The location was just enough West of the main area to be quiet, and yet close enough to everything we wanted.Our host was very responsive whenever we had a question. Their house is on the property, but they did not intrude at all. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful saguaro cacti

We enjoyed our stay and the location was pretty convenient. The address was the main house so you need to go one more drive over. Very clean. Not a fan of no door to potty in main bedroom but closet was great. Coffee pot needs updating ! We’d go back for sure. Maybe bring our Kerurig!
