About this property

Panoramic Views, A Great Location, Gated Community, Relax near Golf & Shopping

Our 'hacienda' is a 4200 square foot house perched above northern Tucson in a prestigious gated community nestled in the Santa Catalina Mountains. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It easily sleeps 8, but young adults can use the futons to allow for 10-12 to rest comfortably. There are villas and casitas in the area, so in keeping with the theme, we are the hacienda of the bunch. The house easily lends itself to relaxing with friends and family......cook, swim, work-out, watch tv, or get online. All of it can be enjoyed while appreciating panoramic views of both the city and the mountains!

The gourmet kitchen was recently upgraded with all new appliances, and granite countertops. Family and friends can cook a meal together in this fully equipped kitchen and still enjoy the magnificent city views, also, you can enjoy grilling all year around and 'picnic' on the porch. There are 2 full sized refrigerators, 2 sinks, 2 ovens, plenty of cabinets, and even a wine refrigerator!

Panoramic Views!
Sit on the large 500 square foot porch any time of the day or night and see the city change from high atop the foothills of the Santa Catalina mountains. Or enjoy the same view from the jacuzzi as water cascades down a beautiful waterfall into the 9 foot deep pool. Or swim laps across the 35 foot aquatic expanse.

The main family room is both comfortable and expansive, with a 12 foot high wood beamed ceiling, a flat screen TV with Blue-ray DVD player, large stone fireplace, and a game table that is customized for cards and poker chips...but the city views will grab your attention here too.

If you prefer mountain views, step into the 'gallery'.
While the whole house is adorned with gallery quality photographs of Arizona, this room boasts the largest collection with the forth wall being filled with the backyard's desert-scape in the foreground, and mountains in the background. Workout on the recumbent stationary bike and be visited by quail, javelina, deer, and the elusive bobcat. Or pull out a yoga mat and stretch among the colorful canvases. Or read one of the many provided books, while enjoying a cup of coffee on the futon.

The master bedroom overlooks the pool and the city and has another fireplace for winding down in the evenings privately. From the king sized bed, you can watch tv too. There is a walk-in closet and built-in desk with a printer and large bookcase with books in the master suite. From this area you can grab a cold drink from the beverage refrigerator and step right out onto your private porch for an evening dip into the jacuzzi, or enjoy a large soaking tub in the master bath. From the tub you also have beautiful views of the mountains.

This bathroom's shower has been updated with two shower heads (a rain head and handheld head) and a large bench. There are two full vanities, each with a sink and large mirror.

The house comes complete with full sized washer and dryer, free wifi, 3 large 50' flat screen TVs with satellite programing, 3 BlueRay DVD players, central air conditioning and heat throughout to make your stay comfortable and hassle-free. There is even an intercom system with central built-in radio to reach every room inside and outside simultaneously!

A car is recommended for the Tucson area. The house has a three-car garage, and has plenty of room for cars, bikes, or golf clubs. We can provide a set of Ping golf clubs and bag upon request.

Perfect private pool house
We so enjoyed this home. The view was amazing. The location very private and beautiful. Pool and hot tub all you could want. The house is 1980s, so dated. However, the kitchen was first class, the beds were supportive, the furnishings were very comfortable. Plus unlike some rentals, there were ample towels, paper products, soaps, cleaning products. The hosts were charming and so helpful. We hope to visit again.

House was comfortable and well located. Outdoor space was wonderful. Pool and hot tub were great. Nicely equipped with toiletries, paper products, etc. Plenty of towels. Beds were comfy, nice linens. Hosts were very friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. Furnishings very dated. Outdoor furniture broken and uncomfortable. "Dormitory" room was weird. Surprisingly, kitchen lacked trays, platter, bowls, etc for serving 6 people. TV in great room was unusable, too far from seating, tucked into corner.

Great Location and Nicely Appointed
Our family had such a wonderful time at this home. Michelle was so communicative throughout the process ahead of our stay and while we were onsite. The home had lots of great things on hand that added to the visit - from pool toys to spices and seasonings. The neighborhood is delightful (we enjoyed the nature walk at the bottom of their hill) and the views from the expansive deck are incredible day or night. It was truly a special trip for our family and having a great 'home base' for our visit was a treat. Thank you, Michelle and Sam!

Beautiful views
We stayed as a family of 7 (was supposed to be 8, but COVID and canceled air travel prevented another family member from being able to fly) over Christmas and New Year. The host and hostess met us at the house to do the introductory tour, which was very comprehensive. The house was clean with the exception of one shower that had some leaves in it. Not a big deal, but something odd to have in a shower. There were some minor maintenance issues that we experienced while there, but nothing that took away from our overall enjoyment, just more annoyances than anything. Michelle was very communicative throughout the process of booking, staying, and after our stay. She was super helpful to give us ideas of what to do and where to eat. We asked about getting groceries delivered as we would be coming in later, and she was happy to oblige and let the gate attendant know so there would be no issues. She also provided a bottle of wine for us to enjoy, which we did at the first meal together. Lastly, she reached out to us to let us know we could stay another night if needed due to any airline cancelations--this was greatly appreciated, but luckily we didn't have any more issues with flights. The views are amazing at the home, and while it was chillier than what we were hoping, we still put on our hats and jackets and sat outside to get that fresh air! The outdoor space is great! The family also enjoyed the heated pool (we paid separately for this), and the hot tub, which was appreciated after a day of hiking!

Our hosts, Michelle and Sam, were super nice, helpful, gracious, and very accessible. They made us feel welcome. Sam even helped us with assembling our bike rack! We will book again the next time we are back in Tucson. Thank you Michelle and Sam!

Impressive home in the Catalina Foothills
This was one of the best VRBOs we've rented. It is quite spacious...larger than I expected from the photos. Outstanding backyard facing south and overlooking Tucson. Beautiful large covered patio and sizable pool with user friendly jacuzzi that heats up quickly. Big master suite with three other spacious bedrooms. It's one of those places that makes you want to do morning activities so you can get back to the house and enjoy it in the afternoon. Michelle and Sam are probably the best hosts we've experienced. Super responsive. Sam set up three golf outings for us and lent us a nice set of Pings. Michelle was kind enough to suggest numerous other activities and food options. They were very available, but not intrusive. Great week for our family.

Fantastic house, great location for wildlife, great owner
We chose this house for a week-long getaway with two (related) families of 4 each with two older teenage kids. The house is big and comfortable and the layout is great. Although there is only one true master, it worked fine for us. The house itself is very comfortable with all the amenities you could ask for - a large and well-stocked kitchen, comfortable living/game room, pool, hot-tub, and a large yard with a fantastic view of Tucson and the mountains beyond. It is in a nice gated community in the foothills of the Catalina Mountains and there is lots of wildlife around. We had javelinas in the driveway and even saw a bobcat just outside the community gates one afternoon! There are also some nice nature trails right in the community and it is great for walking with all the hills. The owner of the house, Michelle, couldn't have been nicer or more helpful and her communication was great both before our trip and throughout the week. As a fellow photographer she was very helpful with suggestions on where to go for wildlife, and even stocked several bird feeders in the back yard so there were always beautiful birds to watch and photograph right from the back patio. She also had plenty of good suggestions for local restaurants and activities. Starting with a very thorough (and socially distanced) tour of the house when we arrived, Michelle really helped make the trip super comfortable and enjoyable for us. It's clear she is very diligent about maintaining the house and making sure you have everything you need during your stay. She also has a very thorough COVID cleaning process before and after your stay which we really appreciated. All in all we had a great time and everyone in our family would definitely stay here again and recommend to others as well.

Amazing Home for Thanksgiving Gathering
Our family of 10 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sin Vacas. The house is huge and there was plenty of room for the 10 of us. Michelle even had the futons made up for the youngest in our group. Location is close to everything, hiking, restaurants, shopping, but we also had a great time hanging out inside and outside the house during the week. Sam and Michelle were the best hosts and had everything we needed at the house, and more! Highly recommend their place for a large family or large group.

Wonderful Family Vacation
Being originally from Tucson, we knew the area and wanted to rent a large, spacious house with a pool in our favorite part of Tucson. Our local family would be staying with us, so we needed to fit the needs of 2 families and the grandparents. Sin Vacas met and exceeded our expectations. The home was very clean, well appointed and comfortable for all of us. It is an older home with all of the charm of the Southwest, yet up to date on modern conveniences. The house & pool overlook the city, providing amazing views from almost every room. It is close to golf and great shopping. Michelle and Sam were very responsive to any questions. Our 4 girls loved the gallery Michelle set up especially for them to "bunk" together, while the teenager was able to escape to her own room. Thanks so much for a great stay, we will be back!
