This home is everything it advertises plus more! The house is clean, well stocked and the hosts are great. We really liked the decorations! The location, as mentioned by other reviewers, is wonderful. We enjoyed visiting Tohono Chul Gardens, Sweetwater Wetlands Park, and Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. What we loved the most was the desert-nature that surrounded this house. The views of mountains are fantastic. We spent mornings and late afternoons watching birds at the backyard feeders and in the neighborhood. Birds we saw included cactus wrens, gila & ladder-backed woodpeckers, northern cardinals, Gamble's quails & pyrrhuloxia. We would definitely return!

Lovely House with Desert Views

The house was charming, quiet, and private. It offered beautiful views of the surrounding desert landscape and the pool was a treat for escaping the mid-day heat. It was an easy drive to downtown Tucson or out to the desert trails. Great for a couple’s get away!

A Perfect Stay in the Desert

Our stay at Carmella’s lovely casita was wonderful. The property was exceptionally clean , conveniently located and very well stocked. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to sit out on the backyard patio and watch the interesting assortment of birds that visited the several feeders and baths. The vegetation is gorgeous and we really felt that we were getting a true desert experience. We would definitely stay here again. visited the many feeders and bir

Wonderful stay at 6380B W Ina Rd

A wonderful, clean, well equipped property with great views and a lovely pool. Excellent communication as well. We truly enjoyed our stay. Our only minor hitch was that we missed that the property was 6380B not 6380 W. Ina Rd. It was in the directions instructions, but we had not used the instructions. Overall, a great property. We enjoyed sitting out and watching the wildlife.

Perfect location for a relaxing getaway, hiking the Saguaro National Park and Sabino Canyon. Everything was provided for an enjoyable stay. The pool is even larger and nicer in person, and the view of the desert from the pool is amazing. We also enjoyed watching the sun rise over the desert from the breakfast table. The house was very clean. We didnt sleep on the futon, but I found it surprisingly comfortable to sit on. Small hiccup at check in that the hosts remedied quickly. They live onsite/next door but gave us total privacy. As another commenter pointed out, there is no door between the primary bedroom and the en suite bathroom.... you need to close the bedroom door for privacy. It did not bother us. We appreciated having the garage space to keep the car cool. I'd definitely stay here again.

Loved our vacation home

The property was just as portrayed. The entire house was well appointed with everything we needed, and more. The home was very clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for 4 adults to spread out. The location was just enough West of the main area to be quiet, and yet close enough to everything we wanted.Our host was very responsive whenever we had a question. Their house is on the property, but they did not intrude at all. We would definitely stay here again.
