The home made for a relaxing vacation: kitchen is well equipped with cabinets even labeled for what is in each, loved the kitchen and dining room furniture, nice electric fireplace in the LV (got cold out at night), patio for some appreciated outside relaxing, mountain views were right there, close to some of our favorite restaurants and even found a few more to try out, hiking, golfing, grocery shopping etc etc right there. Even having puzzles on hand for our enjoyment was great for down time. Thanks Pat. ##### donna t. Stayed 22 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela D.

Easy to find and wonderful views especially during monsoon season! House was just right for me and my husband and niece and her 2 children. Plenty to do at the house to keep all interested. The pool was wonderful. The available games were great fun for all. Great Kitchen for cooking. Owners were helpful, courteous, and gracious. We plan to book again. ##### Angela D. V.

We appreciated the tasteful interior decor as well as the landscaping. Exceptionally clean and comfortable home. The ability to have the pool heated was a nice perk, especially on the few cooler days we experienced. Pat provided excellent communication before, during, and after our stay. We look forward to a return visit. ##### Michelle R.

My husband, me, and our teen son stayed for U of Arizona move in for our sons freshman year. The house is in a great location close to stores and attractions and not far from the University. The kitchen was perfectly stocked, the pool was clean, the beds were comfortable. The owner reached out to us several times during our stay and was very responsive when we had to questions. From the games to the welcome message and snacks - they thought if we trying. We will be back. ##### Beth E.

My husband and I have been visiting Tucson for 5 years and this is the best rental we've ever had. It's in a great location for getting anywhere in Oro Valley quickly and not too far from downtown Tucson. We enoyed riding our bikes right from the house. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was so clean! We enjoyed dining out, but especially enjoyed our evenings in, cooking and/or grilling. We enjoyed our morning coffee and evening cocktails in the backyard with beautiful views of the mountains. Communication with the host/owner was great and we really appreciated the welcome snacks. We missed lunch on the day of our arrival so we gobbled them up right away. We will definitely be back! ##### Denise F.

This is a beautiful property. It is so well maintained and cared for. 6/6 people in my group felt the beds were comfortable. There is a lot of space to hang out in. The kitchen has more than enough supplies. The host provided detailed information about the property and things to see in the area. Restaurant recommendations were also listed. We paid to have the pool heated and it was well worth it. Did I mention how clean everything was? Walkable locations included a Safeway with a Starbucks, Walgreens, and a fantastic Mexican restaurant by the Walgreens - these are about a 10 minute walk. A 30 minute walk takes you to a cute little bookstore/coffee shop and Walmart. The host was always available and was in contact before, during and after our stay. This was a great VRBO experience! Thank you to our wonderful hosts!! ##### Shelley K.
