Tucson family vacation

The house was perfect for our family vacation and exceeded our expectations. It is well located for all of the outdoor activities that we had planned, and is an easy ride to downtown and major highways. We also appreciated the convenient access to a grocery store and several restaurants. Mountain views and sunsets from the patio are amazing!

Perfect Family Getaway

The house is an amazing retreat for family reunions. The bedrooms coupled with en suite bathrooms allow for privacy, but the outdoor public space provides ample opportunity for lounging by the pool and sipping a drink around the fire pit in the evening. The grandkids enjoyed air hockey and sand shuffleboard and the many games provided. Laurel was an hospitable hostess and patiently answered all my questions!

Amazing stay!

Everything about our stay was incredible - the property itself is immaculate and just as pictured in the listing photos. The house is warm and welcoming, and there are so many small details that have been included that it truly feels like you’re staying at a spa. Laurel, the host, was particularly kind and accommodating when we made a last minute mistake with our booking. We couldn’t have had a better week here.

Perfectly comfortable

We felt just like at home. The house is well furnished, with attention to all the little details for a superior experience. We enjoyed the coffee and espresso machine, blender, and kitchen equipment, the white noise machines in the room, and the plentiful towels.I was with a group of cyclists, and the large lobby made it easy to get in and out with a few bikes.Communication with the owner was quick and easy. Laurel made sure we had enough supplies.My only tiny little bummer was that the pool isn't heated, but as the temperature rose, it wasn't an issue.Will book again, thank you !

Perfect Home Base for a Soccer Tournament Weekend!

We recently stayed at this VRBO in Tucson for a soccer tournament—a group of three dads and our daughters—and it was fantastic! The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing us with great recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed. What stood out most was the abundance of information about local activities and attractions, making exploring the area between games easy. The location was beautiful, with amazing views, and the space was perfect for our group to unwind after a busy day. I highly recommend this VRBO for anyone visiting Tucson—whether for a tournament or just a getaway. It was a great home base for our trip!

Perfect Family Friendly Retreat

We loved our stay! The house had all the amenities that made it feel like a home away from home. We appreciated all the extra kitchen appliances (instapot, crock-pot, blender), the outdoor games, and the pool floats. The backyard was our favorite part and we loved hearing all the animals howl at night! The host had excellent communication and she was very responsive. Thanks for a great experience.

A great setting for our family

The house was clean, modern and spacious. The host has lots of little touches that made the stay so comfortable - robes, phone chargers, coffee. The beds and linens were good quality. The location was good for hiking east saguaro park and bear canyon. The pool was a little chilly but we managed a few very quick dips. It was perfect for our extended family gathering of 6 adults and 1 teenager.

Awesome Anniversary Weekend!

This is my first time using Vrbo & staying in a rental home. I wanted something exclusive and special for my wife and I anniversary - this was a dream come true. The communication between Laurel was very quick, responsive, and she was very helpful as this was our first time staying in Tucson. The home was spectacular inside/out, amenities were amazing, and very kid friendly. I notified Laurel we had an infant and there was a pack/play set up when we arrived! We will definitely choose this home the next time we travel to Tucson!!

Wonderful Family Stay

Our extended family gathered here to celebrate a birthday and have some time together during the school February break. The short summary is that we had a great time and would highly recommend. The house was immaculately clean and well organized - even house instructions (lights, pool, etc.) and local recommendations are presented as wall art, nicely formatted and presented. Kitchen is fully-equipped; with coffee any way you want to make it, new appliances, and even an XL dutch oven (which we used to make carnitas). Beds were comfy, and each bedroom with own bathroom. Air hockey and shuffleboard were fun indoor activities, and large dining room table for feasting/playing games. Outdoor spaces were spacious and clean - plenty of great spots to sit outside and read or relax. Pool is cold (about 60 degrees during out stay) in February but we swam anyway. Hot tub is a nice touch. Grill area was lovely, with tiled countertops and a full sink. Able to see lots of stars right from the backyard, and the wildlife is right outside the fence. We took a couple of walks along the wash which runs behind the property and saw javelinas, coyotes, hummingbirds, a roadrunner and heard a great horned owl. Really, really cool. Plenty to do in Tucson only a few minutes away - we recommend the Desert Museum and the Pistoleros show. Tucson/Sonoran Desert is a unique place in the world, and this is a great place to stay to experience it.

About the host

Hosted by Laurel and Brian Collins

Host profile image
We are a busy family of four. We love to travel, go hiking and and hang with friends and family. We are excited to share our property with you!

Why they chose this property

This beautiful corner of Tucson has the best of both worlds - it's convenient to restaurants and shops, but also feels "out" in a natural desert landscape and at the base of the Catalina mountains. We love how secluded it feels, even though it's in a neighborhood. And it is just SO quiet and dark at night!

What makes this property unique

We've designed the home to be both beautiful and functional with lots of spaces to relax and connect while soaking up the desert sun and views.

We love to cook and enjoy time with family and friends over a meal - the kitchen is well-stocked for your convenience.

Laurel works remote and understands the importance of having a comfortable space with high speed wi-fi; we have 3 workstations in the home.
