Tucson, Arizona
The Westward Look house was designed by noted Mid-Century Architect Nicholas Sakellar, FAIA. The home is modern in concept, yet has the character of an older home. Sited in the foothills of the Catalina Mountains, the home is beautifully located for scenic views. The Guest rental is separate from the owner's residence divided by a partition wall. The spacious guest house include a large kitchen, nature room, living room, master bedroom, bathroom, large walk-in closet, library/second bedroom, covered porches, backyard, pool, and laundry room.
The home features a expansive back yard, pool, and covered porches. This charming modern house is a vacation oasis complete with beautiful furnishings, artwork, culinary kitchen and fireplace.
The house has been featured in several home tours over the years and is considered a Tucson landmark.

This home is in just a wonderful location in Tucson. The house has unique furnishings, a very well stocked kitchen, and a wonderful patio with a fantastic view. Dino was a lovely host-kept us informed, answered any questions we had and let us have our fun. We intend to return soon!
Perfect location for many activities. Some quirks in the house but beautiful mountain vistas and well appointed inside and out. Host Dino was available if needed and a pleasure to meet. Easy laidback atmosphere with great location and views and space.
Scenery is so lovely even with the snow we experienced. You do have to see it all for yourself. I went for a short walk often and saw and heard some different birds that don't live in Minnesota. Horseback riding is just across the road and that looked like a good introduction to desert life. There are great grocery stores and a Beyond Bread restaurant within a couple blocks. We aren't familiar with Mexican food but the Seis Kitchen was great. The bike loop is accessible about 5 miles away. All in all it is a wonderful place to spend time especially for us super seniors Natalie, Anoka, Minnesota.
We loved waking up the glow of the mountain. Dino was a grate host!

I have to say it was one of the best stays i have ever had. First of all, Dino, the host is a great, friendly and accomodating. the house is designed right out of an architecture magazine. The interiors are spectacular -- as well as the views of the mountains. The price should have been double!
Dino was very attentive in making sure we had all we needed.
My husband and I completely enjoyed our stay at this very special home. It was part architectural tour given the mid-century design and the thoughtfulness of the design - and full vacation/relaxation space given the wonderful views, patio, pool and large rooms. I have never stayed at a rental that was better supplied, and was even able to have family over for a dinner given the amenities of the kitchen/dining space! In addition, the home is well located to shopping and restaurants. The owner, Dino, was very available if needed, but also completely unobtrusive. We will definitely be back!! As Hans B said in a prior review Do it!
We stayed for 2+ weeks in Sept 2021 and really enjoyed our stay. Like a home away from home; felt like a home and not a guest house. Comfy king bed with good linens and a tv in master. Good sized bathroom with 2 sinks. Step down shower (i.e. not ADA if you need it); otherwise everything is on one level with no steps. Huge closet with more than enough space for all our clothes and suitcases. In fact, lots of storage everywhere, except for limited pantry space. Everything else in the kitchen was fabulous – all the appliances and dishes you would have in your own home – including a high end blender, Keurig and salad spinner – and so much more! Super cool that the owner keeps martini and beer glasses in the freezer for you. Great dining room with a view – perfect for entertaining. There’s a 2nd bedroom with queen bed that also has a great office space (which we well used for work from home – wifi plenty fast with two of us working on it). Living room tv is large with basic Xfinity cable. Full size washer/dryer you share with owner. The pool is just for the guests and we used it every day! As well as the two pool floaties provided; though you do need to be the pool maintenance crew while you're there. Large covered patio with comfy furniture and a grill. It’s just plain fun to be surrounded by the mid-century architecture, design and finishes. And lots of related books (and fiction books) for your reading pleasure. Loved waking up to and watching the beautiful view out the master and back windows. A couple of maintenance items that came up were addressed quickly by the owner, who lives on the other side of the house (but you don't even know he's there). Temps in the living/dining areas can get a bit warm on summer 110 degree days because of the mid-century AC supply, but there were well-placed fans that still allowed us to be comfortable. Note there is no garage or covered parking, though you can be strategic with tree shade. Several easy hikes within walking distance. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Flawless!
