About this house rental
Take a break and relax for a few days or more, with wonderful scenery and sunsets. Enjoy scenic hikes, bird watching, ride bikes from your front door, tour the neighborhood in our golf cart or play golf on two of the most well-manicured courses in Tucson, all while practicing social distancing.
Welcome to The Golfing Gecko, our listing on the Sonoran Course at Omni Tucson National. Remodeled in late 2019, “The Gecko” has open views across the fairway and amazing desert sunsets. From the open floor plan kitchen, dining room, living room or extended covered patio, you can enjoy all the sights and sounds and tranquility a desert golf course has to offer.
Take a quick look at the amazing reviews we’ve accumulated during our first couple years. Guest comments are certainly your best source for evaluating a property and you’ll be hard pressed to find higher compliments than The Gecko has received.
Before going any further, I need to express that our location is perfect for enjoying the quiet surroundings. In fact, it is not suitable for gatherings, loud music or loud commotions on the patio. Our outdoor area is open to the golf course and properties across the fairway, plus our immediate neighbors. Sounds travel freely and we ask that you 'blend in' with our peaceful and quiet environment. With regards to this, I have more specific information to send if you are considering making a reservation. My “Quiet Enjoyment” letter is meant to assure compatibility between guests’ and owners’ expectations.
The grounds at Tucson National are separated from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding city. As you enter the area, you drop down into a valley created by the Canada del Oro drainage. There is no thru traffic, allowing for the quiet and peacefulness of a desert golf community oasis. When you exit, every direction will take you to the sights, activities and attractions of Tucson, Oro Valley and places beyond.
Our single level townhome is over 1440 Sq. Ft., with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a den, laundry room and a fabulous open kitchen to the living and dining rooms, plus bar seating. The spacious covered patio gives you the option of enjoying our location from both indoors and out.
Our goal is to provide you with most everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay. Upon arrival, we invite you to snoop around and survey what is typically available for your use. Cooking essentials, herbs and spices, paper products, soaps and hair products, laundry essentials, golf cart and three bicycles are there for you.
Feel free to grab a few of the experienced golf balls we keep on hand. Some areas around the desert courses are like golf ball magnets and trying to retrieve them can be challenging. Let’s just say you could get yourself into a prickly situation!
Take a stroll or grab the bikes and conveniently access The Loop trail system. The paved pathway is over 100 miles of “protected from traffic” pedestrian and cycling routes.

This condo is awesome! Rick was very responsive and communicative. The property is very well stocked. More than any place that we have stayed. The location is very close to a lot of restaurants. And the location on the golf course is also great! If I could give Rick a 10 rating, I would. We will definitely try to stay here again the next time we visit Tucson!

Clean, well-equipped, convenient, safe, quiet and beautiful views are half of what we like about this condo. After two stays (totaling three weeks) this condo is like home. The early, early morning cart path walks are highly recommended. The host is responsive and gives a great info pack before you arrive; he has set the bar very high for other hosts.

Great property
The location was ideal, especially backing right up to the golf course. The house was super clean and extremely well stocked throughout. We enjoyed the community pool every day, and watched the thunderstorms on the back patio. We will definitely stay here again!

The house was super comfortable and everything we needed was there. Rick is so detailed that there were essentially no questions, just time to enjoy golf, running on the Loop and eating at the great restaurants. You MUST go to Crumbl cookies, most amazing warm cookies from them! Will definitely stay there again if possible our next trip to Tucson.

The GREAT Golfing Gecko
This is an A+ rental experience. Our family has rented this lovely townhome a couple of times. The owners have thought of ever detail to make this a comfortable, relaxing rental with loads of extras you will not find at other properties. Love the location, pool proximity, and enchanting patio, especially with a morning cup of coffee. Thank you! Already planning our next trip to the Golfing Gecko!

This property was exactly as depicted in photos and description. The kitchen was well supplied with everything needed for creating some great meals at home when we weren't dining out. Great location and the patio overlooking the golf course was lovely. The large community pool was just steps away and we took advantage of that on a daily basis. Neighbors on both sides had well behaved dogs and this property would have been 5 stars had it been pet friendly for our 2 small dogs.

Nice north Tucson golf property
I've stayed at many properties in the Omni area for family visits and a round of golf if I can squeeze it in. This is one of the better ones as it has a very recently remodeled kitchen area and the older bathrooms counters and cabinets are in great shape. Rick was easy to work with and did respond very quickly when I emailed him after not receiving the check-in instructions. I would definitely stay here again if the price is within my preferred range.
