About this property

Casa Catalina - Tropical Desert Paradise

The Catalina Foothills desert paradise you've been waiting for. Spanish colonial architecture, sparkling pool and spa, relaxing fountains and breathtaking views are guaranteed to make you feel like you're on permanent vacation. A short walk to the world-renowned Hacienda del Sol, take advantage of 5-Diamond award-winning dining and spa. Or, lounge by the pool and be your own chef in the Kitchenaid-equipped kitchen with stunning copper and walnut built-ins. This stunning home will leave a lasting impression on your next family get-together, wedding party accommodation, girls' or guys' trip, long-term winter home or weekend staycation!

Casa Catalina has best location in the most sought-after neighborhood. Panoramic views of the Catalinas and the best of Tucson at your fingertips while being quietly tucked away amongst the exquisite homes on Hacienda del Sol Road. Bike trails and hike trails abound with a short 10 minute drive to Sabino Canyon or Rillito River. 10 minutes to La Encantada mall with high-end shops and restaurants, including AJ's Fine Foods and North Italia. 7 minutes to Tucson Mall with general shopping, Cheesecake Factory and Target. 5 minutes to Safeway, Walgreens, dry cleaning, veterinary, urgent care, and Timeless Play - Tucson's first drop-off play center for kids 1-12!

The space:
Professionally designed to honor the Spanish Colonial architecture while maintaining modern touches and amenities, every square inch of the house is thoughtfully designed and presented. Many skylights provide beautiful natural light without the heat of direct sunlight. Views from every window. A feast for the senses, traditional Mexican wood furnishings entwine with luxurious high-end kitchen and bath experiences. Enjoy morning coffee next to the Master fountain patio with the scent of jasmine in the air; then, afternoon cocktails floating next to the relaxing spillover spa. Finally, enjoy a perfect evening on the back patio next to the custom botanical-inspired step fountain and dine under the stars.

Other things to note:
We love your kids. Toys, games, highchair, toddler mattress, pack-n-play and swim accessories are all available and can be set out upon request. We are also located a short 4-minute drive to Timeless Play, Tucson's 5-Star drop-off play center! We are also able to provide you with trusted and private nannying and babysitting contacts, as well as recommendations for kid-friendly restaurants and activities.

Certain pets are allowed with prior approval. Pets must utilize the gravel area at the side of the house and are strictly prohibited from relieving themselves on the artificial turf or anywhere else in the backyard.

A charming house in the perfect location for making memories.

The house was so lovely. Inside and out. So many different places to gather and so many spots to get photos if that’s your thing. The pool and hot tub got so much use, the kids swam well into the night even in late November. My mother commented that the bed was the most comfortable bed of her life. Host responded in a timely fashion and checking in was very easy. Highly highly recommended booking this property. Would stay again!
