About this property

Close to downtown but feels like country-Very Private! Refreshing pool & hot tub

  • Hacienda Gecko is the ideal place for your Tucson vacation. Whether you are in town for The Gem Show, visiting the University of Arizona, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, golf, health spa, or a vacation to take it all in, Hacienda Gecko is close to everything and will be your launching pad to everything Tucson has to offer.

    Situated in a quiet neighborhood in the hills above Tucson, Hacienda Gecko is located fifteen minutes from Downtown Tucson and U of A. Within twelve minutes you will find yourself at the J. W. Marriott golf and spa complex and only twenty-five minutes to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Tumamoc Hill, “A” Mountain, and The Loop are only minutes away as are numerous other adventures that are waiting for you to explore.

    Hacienda Gecko offers plenty of space for everyone in your group. The house features four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The massive master bedroom has a king size bed and an en-suite, spa-like bathroom. Pamper yourself with a huge walk-in shower with dual shower heads and wands. Additionally, this space has two sinks and a walk-in closet. There is a smart TV with cable, a sitting area and a beehive fireplace there as well. Two more bedrooms, at the opposite end of the house, each have queen size beds with a nearby full bathroom with tub and shower. The fourth sleeping area has a queen size bed and a set of twin bunk beds bringing the total sleeping capacity in the house to ten. The fourth bedroom with twin beds has a smart TV with cable and a DVD Blue Ray player as well so it’s can also be an ideal hang out for kids and teens.

    The kitchen, with stainless steel appliances, a gas range, a Keurig coffee system, and Quartz countertops, will accommodate all of your culinary needs. Enjoy having your meals together with everyone around the massive dining room table that seats ten.
    The kitchen and dining area open up to a sunken living room. There’s room for everyone to visit or watch TV or movies here with a wraparound leather sectional and 80” smart TV with DVD/Blue Ray player.

    There’s no doubt that the pool and hot tub area will also be a big hit. Much time is spent outdoors in Arizona and Hacienda Gecko has that covered in a big way. There are four loungers, a table that seats six under the Ramada, plus another cozy patio seating area. A gas grill is located there for your barbequing needs. The outdoor space has a resort-like feel. There is a view of the mountains and of the city lights from the secluded back yard. The space is nicely lit for evenings outdoors including string lights for that true southwest feel.

    *Pool heating (set by the property owner at 88 degrees) is optional at $50 per day and will be added as a separate transaction after initial booking.

    Rounding out the property is a three-car garage, a ping pong table for those spirited tournaments that seem to happen, and a small putting green in the front of the property.

    Nearby you will conveniently find grocery stores, restaurants, and pharmacies. The freeway is also nearby making Tucson navigation a breeze.

    Your visit to Tucson will not be complete without staying at Hacienda Gecko. Treat yourself to a comfortable and inviting home that is close to everything that Tucson has to offer. Hacienda Gecko is a true southwest experience that does not disappoint!

    Your safety matters. This property features 2 exterior security cameras. One is by the garage and the other is at the front of the property. (They do not look into any interior spaces, the pool or the hot tub)

Four of us really enjoyed staying for a week at this conveniently located, well stocked, and very clean property. Kristine was very helpful answering questions. Having access to the garage was a plus with the heat wave. What made it for all of us was being able to hang out by and use the pool. Would return.

Our family stayed here for a week and thoroughly enjoyed this house! The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the grill had plenty of propane. It was warm in early November, so we made good use of the pool. The pool and hot tub were very clean! It was easy to get to hiking trails, and into town for restaurants. This place ranks as one of the best that I've rented!

Lovely quiet setting close to U

It was a busy graduation weekend so we were often off the property and weren’t able to use the house and pool to its fullest extent, but it was lovely.

Relaxing and close to town

Our family loved the property. Everyone had their own space but we also were able to share time together in the large living room and outside. The pool and hot tub were clean and the pool was heated (which was a must for mid March). We would definitely want to stay again the next time we are in town.

We visited over spring break with our 3 high school age children. We absolutely loved this house! The outdoor space was perfect, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well equipped and of course the pool was a lot of fun.

We absolutely loved our stay! We travel annually to Tucson and this house was the perfect landing pad for our group of 10 (6 adults, 1 teen and 3 kids. The home is spacious and cozy. The pingpong table in the garage was a huge hit, as was the heated pool and hot tub. the kitchen was well stocked to prepare food for our group, along with plenty of supplies to run the dishwasher and clean up after ourselves. The furniture was comfortable and the living room and dining table were perfect for our group.

Guys NCAA Basketball trip

Five college alumni spent an extended March weekend in Tucson staying at the “Hacienda Gecko”. It was sunny in the 70s and 80s so we enjoyed the heated swimming pool, spa, and outdoor amenities of this awesome VRBO. The inside was exceptional as well with 4 comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large living area with ample seating to watch some basketball games. Highly recommend this VRBO.
