About this property

Serenity in the “Valley of Gold” / Glorious Mountain Views / SUMMER RATES!


Thank you for visiting our listing!
“GRACE’S PLACE” welcomes you to a relaxing gateway with panoramic views of Catalina Mountains and Push Ridge. We’d love to have you as our guests and share with you an amazing life in the desert. Whether you are enjoying your retirement, vacation, or work remotely, this will make a comfortable long stay home for you.


ABOUT GRACE’S PLACE:
This property is at the end of a cul-de-sac with the desert wrapped around it on two sides giving you incredible views and privacy. The park is steps away and it offers basketball court, lighted tennis courts, playground, picnic areas, walking/biking trails and paths. A short trail will take you to a second park with a volleyball field and additional basketball hoops.
The desert is literally out your front door with open views of the mountains. Have your morning coffee on the patio surrounded by mountains, birds and the wildlife. We have javelinas, bobcats, coyotes, deer, rabbits, quails, roadrunners, hawks and more.
Enjoy early sunrises and the beauty of the Catalina Mountains that change their colors just about every second as the day goes on. If you’re lucky enough to experience one of our fast and short rains, don’t miss looking for the rainbow that’s almost guaranteed to be shinning out there. Spend peaceful evenings on the patio having a cocktail, relaxing or just watching the brightest stars ever. And, of course, you’ll be able to see the bright sunset skies too from your spacious front yard.
This one story home has been fully remodeled and tastefully decorated in 2023. Everything is new at time of renovation: furniture, appliances, bed linens etc. There is a den/office making it a great place to retreat with a book or work away from home. The eat-in kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare meals at home. Master bedroom offers a king size bed, walk-in closet, a TV and a private bathroom with shower and double vanity. Second bedroom has a queen size bed, TV, walk-in closet and a hall bath with a tub/shower.
Enjoy watching your flat screen TV. Streaming services available with guests’ own account(s).

Impeccably clean

Catalina did an incredible job as a VRBO host. She made it feel like a personal welcome. There was a welcome basket when we arrived and the house had everything we needed for our extended stay. The views from the home are amazing and the closeness to the nature preserve is a huge bonus. Stay at Grace’s Place and I guarantee you will be happy!

Perfect Vacation

Catalina was an awesome host. All questions were answered and very responsive when I needed something. Loved the views from the patio and location was close to the bike trail and Catalina State Park for hiking. Would make a return visit.

Serenity at its best

The overall experience was wonderful!! The house was immaculate, beds very comfortable and everything we could need was there. The host was most helpful and very accommodating. The view was really terrific. The change in the mountains when the sun went down were spectacular! The patio was very comfortable for sitting during the day with several options depending on where the sun was (shaded area with canopy, table for eating out and two chairs on the patio). A wash next to the house was a great place to see desert plants as many of them were starting to bloom. And a great place for a walk every morning. There were other locations not far from the house for walking too. The location was great and close to stores, church and Catalina Park and other great things. A very memorable stay. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you

Grace’s Place is a great place to stay!

We had a wonderful vacation while visiting Oro Valley. Rancho Vistoso is a very nice area and close to everything. Property is meticulously maintained and it offers quiet, privacy and amazing open views of the mountains. The owners made sure there is no shortage of outdoor seating in front, side and back yard, to relax and enjoy our surroundings. We had so much fun watching the wildlife! Despite the summer heat, we were able to enjoy our stay and appreciated the garage to keep our car out of the sun. House is updated, comfortable and immaculate. Master bedroom is spacious and our family found the beds very comfortable. Meal preparation is easy. They thought of everything you may need to cook a great meal. We did not eat much at home, but everything is there. We will get better use of the kitchen on our next visit. Upon our request, they greeted us when we arrived and they gave us a tour which was very helpful. It didn’t leave anything to guess work. They made sure we know they are available if we needed anything. We will definitely come again!

About the host

Hosted by Catalina

Host profile image
While I (Catalina) am your direct contact, my family is equally involved. We handle all the details together and you do not need to deal with a management company. We pride ourselves in being easy to reach and we’ll do our best to make this your best vacation stay ever.

Why they chose this property

We moved from Chicago and didn’t know much about Tucson and its vicinities. We chose Rancho Vistoso area in Oro Valley and soon learned how beautiful it is here. We are surrounded by nature and yet have all the conveniences nearby. Did I mention how beautiful the sky is here? The bluest ever in day time, and the darkest at night with the brightest stars ever. The sun kissed mountains change colors all day long and for a short time at sunset they become pink.

What makes this property unique

On our daily morning walks we noticed this home perched up above the trail. The backyard, side and front yard had incredible views of the mountains, and we kept saying “how lucky are these people to have such a nice view”. One day it came up for sale and we jumped at the opportunity. Now we are “the lucky people” and we want to share this special place with you.
The home is located at the end of the cul-de-sac neighboring the desert/wash trail and the park. The views are amazing! The wildlife surrounding you is so enjoyable. The bird chirping doesn’t stop all day long, the bunnies, javelinas, coyotes, bobcats and even an occasional deer family will be right there for you to enjoy. And how can you not love the cute quail families running right in your front yard or the desert?
