Testimonials
Fabulous! Tatiana made the stay perfectly amazing. Everything you could possibly need or want (in a vacation rental) is provided at an unbelievable price. Definitely worth it. If you want to experience the beauty of the desert this is the area of Tucson you want to be. Tatiana was so warm and welcoming. Available immediately when I reached out to her! So between her helpfulness and the beauty of the place, my family created beautiful memories.

This condo was just perfect! Quiet. Comfortable. Great location. It was well equipped with everything you might need during your stay. The kitchen had everything necessary for cooking, and they had also provided a small cooler and thermos cups, really nice when it’s hot out (fridge has ice maker)! In addition to a good sized dining table, there was seating in a patio outside with Adirondack chairs, small tables, and a retractable awning. The pool and jacuzzi were a very short walk away, and lucky us, no one else was ever there at the same time.
