Come bask in the warmth at Casa Serenidad, located in sunny Oro Valley. You'll love the private, quiet location adjacent to natural open space, but you’ll also be close to shopping, dining, and various recreational activities.

Begin your escape with no-contact keyless entry. Enjoy the provided snacks as you settle into your home away from home. Refresh yourself with a cold drink from the refrigerator as you explore your personal retreat.

GREAT ROOM
As you walk in the front door, you’ll immediately notice the open floor plan that is perfect for creating some great memories. And your gaze will immediately be drawn to the sparkling pool right outside the French doors in the great room.

Relax in the reclining love seat, sofa and chair that provide comfortable seating for six as you enjoy your favorite TV show or sporting event on the 55” smart TV. Or connect your devices to the soundbar and enjoy some of your favorite music. If it’s a bit chilly warm up with the gas fireplace. If you need to work, you’ll be able to connect to the high speed internet and use the dedicated workspace.

KITCHEN AND DINING
Save some money and prepare your own meals in the fully equipped kitchen. We’ve included everything you need – a gas range/stove, large refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. You’ll also find a toaster, hand mixer, blender, and even a Ninja Foodi (a combination air fryer and pressure cooker). Don’t waste your time or money buying a lot of extras - the kitchen is stocked with a variety of oils, spices, cooking spray and plastic bags and wrap.. Grab your morning beverage from our coffee bar and sip it under the pergola in the back yard.

Dine at the dining table which has seating for 6 or use one of the barstools and carry on a conversation with your group.

Most days you can do what many of our guests prefer to do and dine outside and cook on the propane grill. You can pick up groceries at one of the nearby stores. Or if you don’t want to cook, savor a great meal at one of the many restaurants in the area. Ask us for some recommendations.

BACKYARD AND POOL
As you step outside, you’ll see why guests rave about our backyard, which features lush landscaping, plenty of space to lounge around or enjoy your meals outdoors, and, of course, the sparkling pool. Enjoy the pool year-round. From October to April the pool can be heated to 85 degrees for a $75 startup fee plus $50/night. With nearly 300 days of sunshine each year, your odds of being able to enjoy the outdoors are pretty good. In the evening, recount the day’s adventures as you gather around the propane fire pit table.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Speaking of the outdoors, our home is in the midst of an outdoor lover’s paradise. Take a hike in nearby Catalina State Park or on some of the other nearby trails. Play golf at one of the courses in the area. Walk or take a bike ride on “The Loop” a multi-use trail that is just minutes away. There are several parks close by with facilities for the entire family. Or make this your base for visiting the many other attractions in Southern Arizona.

If you love pickleball like we do, we've provided paddles and balls and there are a number of great court facilities nearby. Let us know if you need someone to play with.

After a full day of enjoying all the area has to offer, or just hanging out at your home base taking advantage of all the fun things to do, head for a restful night’s sleep in your choice of three bedrooms.

PRIMARY BEDROOM
The primary bedroom features a king bed along with plenty of storage space in the walk-in closet, a dresser, and bedside tables with lamps. Curl up with a good book in the comfortable recliner or watch TV on the smart TV. You’ll love the convenience of the primary ensuite bath with double-sink vanity, custom walk-in shower, and all bathroom essentials (hair dryer, towels, makeup towels, toiletries, and more).

QUEEN BEDROOM
The second bedroom offers a queen bed, a dresser with mirror, and nightstand with lamp. You’ll have plenty of room to store your luggage in the large closet.

TWIN BEDROOM
The third bedroom features two twin beds, a nightstand with lamp and a large closet. Or if you’d rather, the two beds can be combined into a king bed.

BATHROOM
Refresh and rejuvenate in the common bathroom which offers a custom walk-in shower and every bathroom essential.

FAMILY FRIENDLY
If you have little ones you'll appreciate the pack and play, high chair, and children's dishes. And the house is free from clutter.

LAUNDRY
Don’t worry about overpacking. You’ll love the convenience of the laundry area with washer, dryer, and supplies.

Lovely oasis

My sister and I had a peaceful, restful time at this lovely house. We enjoyed the proximity to walking and riding paths with access from the neighborhood. With the warm weather, it was perfect to have the nice cool pool in the backyard. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The communication was helpful and they were very considerate. We would definitely stay there again.

Awesome Place

I stumbled upon the Casa Serenidad listing while planning a last minute trip to the Tucson area. It seemed too good to be true by checking all of the boxes of everything we were looking for. The bed was comfy, house was clean and the kitchen well equipped. The pool and the back yard fire pit area are perfect for relaxing. There are plenty of games which we enjoyed. We took walks around the extremely quiet neighborhood every night and the views are amazing. The owners were very helpful with useful info in a guest book to navigate the house and surrounding area and they also have a basket of goodies and useful items around the house. Pat was quickly responsive anytime I had a question. I would Definitely recommend and/or stay here again if in the area!

Great home in a great location!

We loved the layout and size of the home. I especially loved all of the natural light! Home is very comfortable, oftentimes the furniture is based off of looks and horribly uncomfortable. This is not at all the case! The kitchen has everything you need if you choose to cook. Pool and patio area is clean and beautifully decorated. We originally reserved another home from the same owners but had some AC issues so now I can say we were lucky enough to see both listings, both of which I will not hesitate to rent from next time we are visiting family.

Best VRBO ever!!!!

The property was so amazing inside & outside. We all enjoyed everything about the house & stay. The owners were thorough as to what to expect & were very welcoming. The location was perfect & not far from eating out, shopping, & most important our venue. I would definitely recommend this property. You will definitely not be disappointed or dissatisfied. Thanks again to the owners for having such an immaculate property.

Great place to get away

We very much enjoyed our ~week at the property. It was a wonderful place to get away and enjoy time off. The house is comfortable and comfortably furnished. The outdoors is private, quiet and well appointed. We cooked with ease and the location makes it easy to get to restaurants, parks and stores. The wash behind the house was a neat and close place to park. The owners were excellent in communication and responsiveness. A few minor issues were speedily and attentively addressed. I comment only as a compliment to the hosts vs the nature of the issues. We had no complaints - the entire experience was terrific and we would gladly return!

Fantastic

Casa Serenidad is a beautiful and well appointed home. The owners are incredibly easy to work with, and ready to answer any question or need at any time. The home is comfortable and welcoming. The yard is a private oasis. The pool is easily kept clean with the robot, and having it heated made it very nice for the cooler but sunny days. The owners keep the home in impeccable condition. It's very clean and inviting. We appreciated ample toilet paper, paper towel, cleaning supplies, the big first aid kit, and cooking supplies! I enjoyed cooking on the gas stove, and the pots & pans were all you needed, we used the grill quite a bit for dinners! The home's close proximity to destinations in the Tucson area was great too! Everything you needed or wanted was very close by as well, grocery stores, restaurants, a hospital. The neighborhood was very nice, seems like everyone has pride in homeownership, feels safe and welcoming as well. Renting this home, was just like being at home. It was truly a wonderful stay.

This property was very clean, new, and had everything we needed and more! The pool, sitting area, with gas fireplace was nice after a long drive from Colorado. I really liked that there was not a lot of personal things around, that gave a lot of room to put our things. Tastefully decorated and communication was fantastic! Will stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Pat Damiani

Host profile image
After staying at a number of vacation rentals on our personal vacations over the years, we have been making notes of the features and amenities that were most important to us. So we decided to take that knowledge and put it to use in designing the perfect place to stay here in our home town. We started from scratch with an empty house and purchased all new furniture, accessories, decor and supplies so that everything would be just right for our guests.

Why they chose this property

In our process of making offers on various homes in the area, this one was always our favorite. So when it came back on the market for the second time, we snatched it up quickly. It's the perfect house for a vacation rental. It's in a great location - quiet and private and yet close to everything our guests will need. It's a single story and it's just the right size - plenty of room to spread out, but small enough to be cozy and easy to maintain.

What makes this property unique

Our home provides the perfect combination of privacy and quiet with access to groceries, shopping and outdoor recreation.
