Overall there are more Pros than Cons about this VRBO. PROs: Quiet location, clean; has everything one needs for cooking; enjoyed walking our dogs in the neighborhood & nearby paths; shower in master BR was great; large walk-in master BR closet; TV worked well; owner left clickers to access entrance gate & unit garage door. CONS: Only 2: (1) backyard is fenced/walled on only 2 sides, thus must pay attention when dogs are out that they don't stray into neighbours yard; (2) 2nd bedroom only has a pull out couch/double bed, which was a bit cumbersome to make up (thank goodness there was directions). Mattress for pullout bed was OK, but low & not as comfortable for sleeping in a real bed; also, there was no bedside table in the 2nd bedroom. This explains why I gave this house only a 4/5 rating.
Centrally located near hiking, restaurants, shops and city of Tucson. Clean and comfortable. The east facing views of Mt. Lemmon are spectacular. The condo is well equipped. The owner responded quickly to concerns. The community is friendly with plenty of activities. Come and relax.
Beautiful desert surroundings! Pleasant neighbor.
Suzanne was wonderful hostess attentive to making our stay perfect. Incl new water filter for fridge and replace light on stove. The home was bigger than pictures looked and patio with propane grill perfect. And we grilled a lot. The property backs to the best kept neighborhood walking trail and close to so many things. Beds comphy. The pool and library were great and you walk the neighborhood and everyone is so friendly. I did not want to leave but we have already reserved next year! Thank you Suzanne ?
We enjoyed our stay very much and would return. Suzanne was very responsive to our needs which included a TV upgrade.
My wife and I stayed here for 3 months (Jul, Aug, Sep), while waiting for construction of our new home to be completed. Everything was very comfortable and the location was convenient to nearby shopping and recreation. One especially nice feature of this particular property is the quiet back yard area. Would highly recommend.
We have friends in the area and love to bike and hike. Perfect for all of these things!
I cannot say enough good about this rental! -communication with owner was excellent -location made us feel safe. -fantastic patio with path in the back to watch all the dogs on leashes and in strollers. Loved the parade of Javelinas too! -villa has nice decorative touches like fun soap dispensers, thirsty towels and cozy blankets. -neighbors were friendly. -many fun paths to discover and trails to bike on. -walking distance to Honeybee Canyon and petroglyphs! Will stay here again!
Renters beware: Owner is not forthcoming in her advertisement. When renting the property, I specifically asked if the property was pet friendly and the response was “yes” Based on her picture of the property’s patio, one is led to believe that there is an enclosed yard. What she failed to list is that the patio is only enclosed on two sides and one is open to all the other neighbors yards with easy access to street from the yards themselves. I have two small dogs that were staying with me at this property and for their well being, I could not have them running all over the neighbor’s yards and into the street. Rather than making an issue of this, I placed a small metal dog fence across the yard. Two weeks into my tenancy, I was informed via text by the property owner that the HOA was demanding that the barrier be removed immediately or face a fine. I asked the owner to address the barrier issue with the HOA and she told me to contact the HOA myself. I left the property early because of the safety of my pets and the inconvenience of not having a fenced in yard. The owner refused to make any financial compensation for me having to leave the property early. For the most part, the property was clean. The cable is limited and full instructions for using it is not provided. The property is dark and has poor lighting which is compounded by burnt out ceiling lights. There are constant loud appliance noises that make it uncomfortable to be in the home, especially at night to sleep. Both the bed and sleeper sofa mattress is hard and very uncomfortable. HOA rules that are pertinent to your stay are not provided ahead of time. The owner is indifferent about all matters brought to her attention as well as slow at addressing concerns. Her excuse being that she never receives the message. In addressing pertinent issues, the owner is bad-mannered and unwilling to take responsibility in resolving them in an equitable manner.
We loved our place and time here. Wish we could have stayed.
