The site is an acre in size, there are 8 cameras that record 24/7 on the property. The cameras are located on the exterior of the buildings and allow the Owners to view the parking lot, property entrances, pool area and rear portion of the site.

Cleanest VRBO ever!

We stayed a full week. This place is super clean! I had two complaints… beds are not terribly comfortable and the plastic chairs by the pool are brittle. I would assume from the sun.. perfect size for our stay!

Beautiful property, better than we expected

The owners/managers have taken a property and rehabed it to a beautiful vacation stay. Everything has been updated very nicely, the buildings and the grounds seem to be perfectly maintained, and the whole property is beautifully landscaped. We enjoyed meeting other guests, many of whom were repeat visitors. Although the neighborhood is not very walkable, the location is right near many of the attractions that are of interest to us, mainly bicycling and hiking. A good grocery store is one block away; many more, and lots of good restaurants, are not much farther away. We'll be returning!

Cute and Cozy

This spot is excellent! I did not walk the neighborhood or know anything about the area surrounding it, but the unit/community is very safe, secure and wonderful. I stayed alone in the unit and felt safe at all times. It is very spacious, quiet, and offers everything you could need. The gated parking lot and assigned parking space is very convenient. You can get a hold of management at any time. I would definitely stay here again!

Casita near The Loop

A very nice compound. It is very well maintained. The property owners are very responsive to any questions and needs. The location is great for people who are coming to Tucson to cycle. The casita is very close to The Loop. Enjoyed our stay. Coming back next year.

the casita was nice and we felt safe behind the walled facility,

property was nice, wish the pool had been heated, tho we new in advance that it wouldn't be. The area seemed run-down and I wouldn't want to walk down the street at night. I will NOT be using VRBO services again, as I was charged an additional fee by VRBO just for using there services. Thus I was charged by VRBO for using there service which I had already paid for. Never again.

Nice small complex of modern casitas/townhomes

The 2 bedroom unit had unique, comfortable furnishings and plenty of space for 3 adults. Located near the foothills, we could easily access the river wash trails for cycling and the Sunday farmers' market while still getting to downtown attractions easily. This complex is a number of casita-style units around a small swimming pool with a gated parking lot. The kitchens are large and modern allowing us to cook many meals at home during our 3-week stay. The bathroom had a lovely tiled shower - you can tell that the ownership includes an architect.
