Palo verde trees welcome you up the long drive to our peaceful and picturesque property. Upon entering the living and great rooms, the vaulted ceilings and a dual wood-burning fireplace greet you. Your eyes will immediately be drawn to the stunning backyard oasis with a custom pool and spa with an impressive Catalina Mountain backdrop.

Plentiful space and multiple seating areas allow families to spend time together or spread out for peace and quiet. The outdoor dining table comfortably seats eight, while a seating area off the kitchen seats four.

Retreat to the “Arizona Room,” your private sitting room adjoining the primary bedroom. Have a zen morning practicing yoga, catch up on work at the desk, or sit with your coffee and take in the sights. This room may have the best view in the house, overlooking the pool with the Catalinas beyond.

This property really is a gem. Clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, this aims to be your (vacation) home away from home. The views and location provide the wow factor our guests seek on vacation, but practicalities and thoughtful extras put your mind at ease. You’ll have access to our new laundry machines, kitchen appliances, extra towels, pool towels, linens, and (maybe most importantly!) quality coffee and Smith tea to start your day right!

SPA/POOL: The spa is heated on-demand (heat 1-2 hours prior to use) and can be used year round, and is included in the cost of your stay. The pool can be heated for an additional daily fee of $75 - please inquire in advance if interested. The pool will generally be a comfortable temp without supplemental heat from the mid May to mid August. Due to the large size of the pool and large deep end, if evening temperatures are dipping below 40*, the pool heater may not be able to keep up and retain the intended temperature. As such, the pool heat is most enjoyable in the spring and fall.

POOL FENCE: The safety of our smallest guests is of utmost importance, thus the pool fence is required to remain in place and remain locked for groups with kids under the age of 12. For travel groups without children, you may request in advance that the north section of pool fence be removed (schedule allowing).

We have a thorough cleaning protocol to ensure all surfaces are sanitized and use unscented laundry cleaning products. Eco features include recycling, energy-efficient LED lighting, and a fridge water filter so you can get great quality drinking water. Don't forget to pack a reusable water bottle!

The Verde House is a Vacay In Tucson property, which offers a boutique collection of upscale homes in NW Tucson and Catalina Foothills. Follow us at VacayInTucson

Other things to note
PATIO SLIDERS: If the patio sliders are open for more than 5 minutes, the HVAC system will automatically turn off to conserve energy.

OUTDOOR QUIET HOURS: This is a quiet neighborhood, so we ask that you reduce all outside noise after 10 p.m

MID-STAY CLEANING: For stays of 14+ days, a mid-stay professional cleaning will be included at no additional charge (because no one wants to clean toilets on their vacay!). We can schedule a time when you'll be out adventuring.

MAX GUESTS: The listing sleeps 8 people total, which includes the total count of adults and children. There is a $100 per guest per day fee for over 8 people, so if you need the extra space, you're better off finding a bigger house that fits more people!

NO PARTIES, EVER: Because this is a quiet residential neighborhood, parties, events, or other large gatherings are prohibited. Unapproved visitors will result in us asking your entire group to vacate the property immediately and forfeit the cost of your reservation. This will be strictly enforced.

GUEST ACCESS
Guests have full access to the house except the following areas:
- Owner's closet in the laundry room
- Owner's closet in garage

Yay! You read the whole listing! As a thank you for your attention to detail, when booking, please mention the phrase "I support local" and there will be a welcome gift upon your arrival! Yes, we know it sounds cheesy but you'll love it! ;)

Perfect house and perfect location!

Perfect location, close enough to U of A to be convenient, but far enough away that my son felt like he was on vacation. House was spotless and organized, plenty of space for two families traveling together. We will be back!

Beautiful Desert Oasis

The house is immaculate, beautifully designed and decorated, well appointed, and very comfortable. The pool is clean, warm and massive (much bigger than it appears in photographs), and the whole outside area is lovely, with gorgeous views. Move-in was easy, the location was great - far enough into the foothills to be pretty and quiet, but close enough to whatever you need (we were back and forth to the university, and it wasn’t too far at all). Plenty spacious enough for a family of four, including two teens, with a bedroom to spare. Would absolutely stay here again.

It has it all!

We were visiting the Tucson area to see family, relax, and remote work. My children could enjoy the pool, and there was ample space for remote work in a quiet setting. Evenings were filled with time in the spacious and beautiful outdoor area where we could dine, play games and play in the pool. We had a family member that needed to navigate with a cane and the single story layout was perfect. What a treasure!!

Fantastic Location

This house was fantastic. It looked exactly like the pictures. We weren't disappointed in any way at all. One of my favorite things was the fact that light music was playing when we checked in and unlocked the door for the first time. It just made things that much more magical. Honestly this place was just downright amazing. The owners seem amazing as well. Very communicative. Also, their attention to detail is on another level. They have a whole check in packet for you explaining literally everything you could want to know, and there are cute little well-designed frames here and there in the house about things too. I was / am super impressed. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Very enjoyable stay

Nice location in a quite residential community. House easily accommodated our party of 5 including a very spacious master bedroom. Very clean property with great views of the Catalina mountains from the spacious deck. Managers very receptive and quickly responded and resolved a minor plumbing issue. Grapefruit tree produced delicious fruit!

Great home for families!

The home felt like a true home away from home! My husband and I traveled with our 5 and 3 year old during the Holidays and the house had EVERYTHING we needed. The little things like noise machines, stools in the bathroom, essentials in the pantry, and pool toys was huge help with little ones. There is no way to fit everything in a suitcase. The hosts were wonderful and so welcoming. They ensured we had everything we everything we needed prior to our stay. The house was very large, very clean, great views, backyard is exceptional. Highly recommend.

Perfect family rental

This was one of our favorite vacation rentals! The property is beautifully decorated with a perfect layout for families. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked with any needed supplies and there were games and toys to keep everyone entertained. We paid to have the pool heated and even when it was cold outside (48 degrees!) our kids could still enjoy the pool and hot tub. There was a main road behind the house, but the backyard was very private. The view is incredible and the neighborhood is lovely. Communication was great and the host even included an electronic guide that we could refer to throughout the trip. I cannot say enough good things about this property. We hope to stay here again in the future.

Fabulous!

Our week at this home was fabulous! Our family met there for Thanksgiving. The house was very comfortable, clean, and stylish! The pool and hot tub were the best! We spent a LOT of time in those spaces. The location was great! A mile in either direction to grocery stores, shops and a few miles more to some great hiking. The neighborhood was very quiet. We could hear some road noise, but not enough to bother us at all. The owner was super attentive and easy to work with. I would 100% recommend staying here!

Catalina views

We enjoyed our stay in Tucson. The home is in an excellent location with close proximity to hiking trails as well as close access to the cross town bike trail. It was so nice to come back after an active day to jump in the pool and enjoy sunsets and dinner on the patio. The home is roomy , clean and the kitchen has everything a cook needs. Looking forward to a return visit

Lovely House with Water Issues

The house is beautiful and we love the location. We did encounter a number of issues during our stay. The water in the house was never cool, but in the master bathroom it was plain hot. We were unable to use shower in the master due to the hot water temperature. Manager called a plumber but they were unable to fix the issue (despite their claim that they did before they left). The air conditioner was never able to keep up with the outside air temperature. The pool was great, but it was a magnet for kangaroo rats. We found four drowned in the water over the course of our short stay.
