Top notch property

If you want privacy and a pool, within walking distance of a golf resort, this is the place. Mountain views and dark skies at night are a plus. Amazing shops nearby; The home was stocked with everything we needed and the host was very responsive to my queries. Loved every minute of our stay.

Good Vacation Value

The three bedroom, two bath house has all you need for a small group or family, including a heated pool and proximity to Tubac. While the prooperty is certainly not new, it is well kept up and very comfortable. You will enjoy the interior Mexican decor. The owner, Raquel, is easy to reach by phone and very responsive should you have requests. A very good value. March of 2025 has been our third annual stay at this property and we will definitely be back again next year. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Raquel

My name is Raquel, I live in Phoenix AZ. I was born and raised in Nogales, Arizona graduated from Nogales High School and the University of Arizona. I was a Special Education Teacher for 12 years.

Why they chose this property

Having grown up in Nogales, I have a special love for the Southwest. After I graduated from college and met my husband we moved around to different parts of the US, but I always longed to return to the desert. In 2005 we moved back to Phoenix where I could be closer to friends and family. Because we found ourselves traveling down south so often to enjoy the beauty and cooler weather of Southern Arizona my husband and I decided to buy a home that we could enjoy with our family and friends.

What makes this property unique

You can have privacy and convenience in one property. Nestled up against the desert you have a perfect view of the mountains and the beautiful landscape. Just around the corner from Tubac Golf Resort. Also right down the road from the quaint Tubac village. Enjoy hiking, biking birdwatching and sightseeing all conveniently located.
