We do provide free secure parking in our gated parking lot for one car per casita. All parking is in assigned parking spaces. Traveling with a second vehicle, they are able to park on the street outside the complex, or if available we do have a few additional parking spaces for rent at $10 per night extra. Dogs up to 60 pounds allowed provided they are not a 'pit bull or pit bull mix', do not bark, and are not left in the unit alone unless crated. There is a limit of 2 dogs per unit. NO OTHER TYPES OF PETS ARE ALLOWED!

Plan to have a couple of friends for family members over please just let us know. They will need to park on the street and you will need to escort them in. The site is an acre in size, there are 8 cameras that record 24/7 on the property. The cameras are located on the exterior of the buildings and allow the Owners to view the parking lot, property entrances, pool area and rear portion of the site. No cameras view or record inside the building or in the private rear yards of each unit.

Pool: there is a large pool in the center of the property that is open 8 am to 8 pm and is for use by paying guests only. All kids 17 and under must be supervised by an adult-the adult must be in the pool area when their underaged guest/child is in the pool area. We do not heat the pool.

Additional charges-

Rental rate is based upon double occupancy (meaning up to 2 people in a unit) We charge for additional guests above 2-this includes kids. Additional guest fee is $30 per person per night. Have someone stay just one night-you need to pay for that guest for that one night ahead of time. You must notify us ahead of time if you do have additional guests stay the night so we can collect the additional fees.

Clean, Quiet Getaway

My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay here. The casita was clean and comfortable, and the overall property was quiet and safe. Not only were the hosts welcoming and friendly, but the other guests we met were super nice as well. Overall, it was a very peaceful place to be, and we would definitely like to stay again the next time we come to Tucson.

Highly recommend these casitas because they are well thought out, very comfortable and private. The neighborhood is kind of sketchy but the gated location made me feel totally safe. It's a great central location.

Nice comfortable unit. Comfortable beds. Well appointed kitchen. Neighborhood isn’t the best that Tucson has to offer, but the complex is gated and I felt completely secure inside. Would stay again.

We love this property! Very quiet, cozy, and welcoming.

We absolutely loved staying at the Casita. It was a surprisingly peaceful little oasis nestled in the city. The casita was very well kept and had everything we needed and more. We loved spending time in the pool and sitting on the cost little porch outside. We were the only ones outside the whole 3 days we spent at the property. If we visit Tucson again we we surely stay here again. Thanks

Very cozy and welcoming home. The grounds were secluded and quiet. We even discussed amongst ourselves how that if we relocated to Tucson, that this was the goal. 10/10 would do it again.

needed to get out a couple days

Needed a couple days away from reality so booked this last minute for a couple nights so I could hit some of my hiking/mountain biking spots arounds Tucson. This is one of the best bookings I have ever had from VRBO. Great price, easy check-in, gated private parking, good location, very clean, excellent rental in every way. The kitchen is fully equipped includng a blender and all the little things. In unit laundrey, awesome shower, fantastic broad band internet and possibly the best maintained and cleanest I have ever rented. Cant say enough good.

Desert Morada Hideaway

What a great find! The unit was clean and nicely decorated.a There was both a front porch overlooking the pool and one in the back that was equally enjoyable. Especially with the visiting hummingbird. The kitchen is full size and there is a separate laundry room with a washer and dryer if needed.. There are only 15 casitas in this gated community which makes for a nice and quiet retreat.

The Hull trip

Desert Morada is a great place to stay! The Casita is roomy and very comfortable. There is a small fenced in yard, and a sitting area at the front of the Casita, plus a pretty pool with more than ample seating. Maria, our property contact, answers her emails very promptly, which makes for a more pleasant stay! Given that the Casita is quite comfortable and well- stocked, with a very attentive property contact, I would highly recommend Desert Morada to others wanting to enjoy Tucson to its fullest!
