Delivered as Promised

This is an outstanding property. We stayed 5 nights but think it would work well/spacious enough for a longer stay. Tea Time is well configured for allowing a guest to sleep while another may be in the kitchen or living room, quality furnishings, nicely decorated and an efficient, modern kitchen. Beds were comfortable and baths stylish. This property compares with a luxury suite at one of the high-end resorts, but larger and allowing more personal flexibility in most every way. The great back patio and mountain view is a true bonus. The only limitation are the streets' frequent speed bumps - common to many Tucson home developments. We would definitely consider returning.

Great sunrise views

We stayed at this vacation home for a week and were very happy with our choice. Communications with owner & host were good and they responded quickly to any questions. The house is in a gated community in a nice area of north Tucson. Instructions for entry were clear and the house was very clean and tidy when we checked in. The view from the back patio is of the Maeveen Behan Desert Sanctuary and the back gate gives access to hiking trails in the sanctuary. In the distance is Mt Kimball so the sunrises from the patio were really nice. A hummingbird feeder on the patio was frequently visited by hummingbirds and Gila Woodpeckers. There are several good restaurants within a short drive and even south Tucson was an easy 30 minutes away. The house was comfortable and served as a good base of operations for our trips to Saguaro National Park (east and west); Mt Lemmon; and the Tucson Gem and Mineral Shows.

Early Spring in Tucson

This is a nice two bedroom property in a quiet gated neighborhood. It was very clean, the king bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was adequate. Behind the property is a wonderful open space area that is great for hiking and mountain or gravel biking. Broken Tree and Quarry Pines golf courses are 5-10 minutes away. The views of the Catalina Mountains at sunset are amazing. The

Great place to Snowbird!

Tea Time starts with a comfortable setting with everything you need to feel at home, and finishes with a world-class view of the Catalina Mountains. So much to do nearby, and Pima County trails/Maeveen Behan walking trail right behind the property. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay for a winter in Tucson!

Quiet house in nice subdivision

This was a very nice and tidy house with a fully equipped kitchen. Unfortunately we mainly used the house as a place to sleep as we were visiting relatives and we were out and about quite a bit. Good sized master bedroom/bathroom with a comfy bed. Would definitely stay here again.

Very lovely home in gated community!

Had a Great time at Ken's rental property! The home was very clean and quiet. The beds were comfortable with a memory foam topper, the kitchen had updated appliances and everything we needed. The home is very close to the shopping malls, stores and restaurants. The view of the mountains from the patio are stunning. Every day we would walk out the backyard gate and into the sanctuary. We would see all kinds of flowers, cactus, birds, hawks, rabbits and even a coyote walking on the golf course. There were all kinds of ducks in the pond. We will definitely come back again!!

Clean & comfortable house in quiet neighborhood

This is our second stay. Enjoyed the view and access from the backyard to the Maeveen Behan Desert Sanctuary...could occasionally hear coyotes in the distance at night. Quiet neighborhood. Clean. Beds comfortable. Traeger grill a plus. Enjoyed using the Community Center's Pickleball court and hot tub. Five minute drive to Crooked Tree golf course.

Tea Time

The house is in a great location close to restaurants, golf, biking trails, shopping, and hiking. The house was well furnished and met our expectations. The garage has one half used by the owner. The other half has the garbage container storage and is a bit too small for our SUV with a bicycle rack. That wasn't a problem to us as the garage had sufficient room to store our bicycles and golf clubs. The back yard view is spectacular. We hiked in the desert preserve right out the gate of the back yard. Our applicable conversations with the owner and manager were great. It took us a bit to understand and navigate the fire stick app to the TV. We enjoyed our stay and will consider coming back again.

About the host

ABOUT KEN LIGHTCAP
My partner and I own four properties we use for ourselves and share with others. One is in Tucson; two are in Oklahoma, one on the Illinois River and one on Lake Tenkiller; then, one on the beach in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. She and I are now both retired and enjoy traveling so we are fortunate in being able to enjoy our own homes but at the same time have rental income for seeing the world and discovering new locations for must have properties.

Why they chose this property

WHY KEN LIGHTCAP CHOSE TUCSON
I arrived in Tucson (from Western Kansas) for my first engineering position just out of college. I was so taken back by the mystery of the desert and the majesty of the mountains. I started a family here but eventually moved cross country for a management position of a large construction company. However, I kept my home in Tucson knowing I would definitely return.

What makes this property unique

WHAT MAKES THIS HOME UNIQUE
We started calling this “Tea Time” jokingly because of all the many “Tee Time” rentals for golfers in the area. Our “Tea Time” is unique in that it is so quiet and relaxing here…whether your wake-up beverage is tea or coffee, drinking it while watching the sunrise on the mountains is indescribable. You’ll then be ready for your day. Whether you are in need of retail therapy, fresh air or soaking up the Southwest culture, simply walk out the front door and you are literally only minutes from malls, the foothills, U of A campus, hiking and biking trails, downtown, and, of course, the many well known golf courses.
