Excellent vacation home

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in Tucson! The home was just as pictured and described, although no picture can really do justice to the view of the Santa Catalina mountains. There were great bike rides right from the house, many nearby disc golf courses, and plenty of things to do in Tucson and the surrounding area. We were there for a month and didn't get to everything on our list. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again!

Charming unit with desert view. Bobcat the first morning, Gambel’s quail everyday! Internet wasn’t robust enough for zoom calls. Char and David were great!

Surpassed our expectations

We had such a wonderful experience at Char and Dave’s VRBO. It is so private, with beautiful views of the mountains and the yard is your personal desert retreat. Each day we were entertained by the Gambril quails and hummingbirds as they visited the feeders. We were lucky enough to have seen a bobcat, hawks and a javelina family during our stay as well. Although you’ll feel like you are in the middle of the desert there is a grocery store less than 10 minutes away. Restaurants are also within 30 minutes or less. You can get to Sugauro East National Park within 10 minutes. We like to hike and it was great to have many hikes to choose from—some in the park and some an hour or so away in Oro Valley or Sabina Canyon. Char has a wealth of information about things to do and places to eat. We can’t wait to come back!
