About this house rental

Near the Loop and a 4 minute drive to Saguaro National Park, our spacious, private home is perfect for the outdoor adventurist. After a day of hiking and desert exploration, relax in the spa and heated pool. Our Santa Fe style house has dedicated office space and an open floor plan, so its great for cooking meals and socializing. You’ll enjoy spectacular mountain views and breathtaking sunsets. Includes garage parking, W/D, fireplace, bbq. Located 25 minutes from downtown and the Tucson Airport.

-- The space --
Our home pays homage to the surrounding desert, with colors and objects that remind us of the amazing array of life teeming in our backyard. The house has an open floor plan with lots of light, so the rooms all flow into each other. The kitchen overlooks the living room, which makes it easy to prepare meals while interacting with other guests. The living room and primary bedroom both have Roku TVs. The living room is our cozy "rustic desert" area housing a large leather sectional with 3 recliners and a natural gas kiva style fireplace.
Bedroom 1 has a private bathroom with an amazing custom built shower and dual vanities. This bedroom, which has a king bed, is on a separate wing of the house.
Bedroom 2 has a California King bed and is our nod to the inspiring sunsets and natural beauty of the Sonoran dessert.
Bedroom 3 has a queen bed and is comfy with a traditional southwestern feel.
Bedroom 4 is a corner windowed office with a trundle bed, so it can be converted to a 2 twin bedroom.

The laundry facilities are great for extended stays and the 2.5 car garage has plenty of room for parking.

You'll likely spend much of your time in the backyard. We have a spacious lot with multiple seating/gathering areas and a stone wall around the perimeter. There's a plethora of native vegetation, such as ocotillos, saguaros, barrel cactus, prickly pear, and creosote bushes. BBQ grill is ready to go with 6 burners. The pool is great for those hot summer days. Pool heating is available for an extra $60/day (non-refundable). The spa is a great way to end the day (plan ahead - depending on the temperature, it takes 20 to 60 minutes to fully heat up).

We love our home and love our neighbors, so if you're looking to book a space for a party weekend, this place is not for you. We have zero tolerance for large, loud parties.

-- Guest access --
An access code will be sent on the morning of check-in. Parking in the 2 car garage is encouraged but there is also a large driveway available.

-- Other things to note --
Pool can be heated for an additional $60 per day to be remitted prior to arrival. Please make sure to pre-request pool to be heated as it takes up to 24 hours for it to warm to temperature. No refunds for this option.

No pets allowed
No smoking

Arizona is full of wildlife, including insects. Although we hire pest control service to keep bugs from getting in, please keep doors closed to help keep them outside.

We utilized the house for a family reunion. The house and yard were perfect with plenty of room and seating! The host was easily accessible throughout our stay. It was only moments away from hiking, biking and shopping. I definitely would stay there again!

We loved our stay at Ocotillo House. The home is very clean and spacious. We enjoyed the pool and outdoor areas which were clean and had shaded areas to sit. The location is close to restaurants and groceries. The owners, Matt and Clint checked in with us to make sure everything was ok. We would definitely stay here again.

Great house and yard, and extremely responsive hosts. Especially good location if you plan to visit the East half of Saguaro National Park (or the other open spaces East of Tucson - Tanque Verde Falls is amazing when there's water in it). Had a little more street noise than we anticipated, but this was a minor issue. I've stayed in a lot of VRBOs and this is a great house with great hosts.

Beautifully decorated home with tons of space! This home makes relaxing easy! We used the pool and hot tub multiple times a day. This home has everything you could possibly need. The guide they provide of the area was our key to finding the best food. Our kids didn’t want to leave!

We had an absolutely perfect stay at the Ocotillo House. We are from the Seattle area and wanted to see actual sun and be in some warm weather and this place was ideal. The house is bigger than it seems in photos and really clean and well stocked. Everything you could think of was provided. The pool and spa and backyard were amazing. We spent most of our time out there. I really can't say enough about how great this place was. The owners are super responsive and I appreciated that. We'd love to come back here next year!

All visiting guests were from MN & OH, many who had not been to Tucson before this trip. The home made us feel welcome and comfortable right from the start. The owners were very helpful in making our vacation a brief but spectacular moment(s). We would definitely be willing to book again, if we get back to the Tucson area. Thanks to Matt & Clint for making their place available.

Beautiful desert property! We made good use of the heated pool/spa. Loved all the outdoor sitting nooks. The spacious back porch and open floor plan suited our crew of 6. We had such a good time together: there were comfortable spaces indoors and out, so togetherness and aloneness were equally possible. Hosts were always available and never intrusive! 😊 Thank you Matt and Clint

Beautiful home, spacious, well decorated, well stocked, clean. The patio and pool deck are so relaxing. Beds are comfortable, roomy and lots of closet space. We were in Tucson for a lacrosse tournament, the whole family came and this home fit us well. The pool and spa were very relaxing. Any questions we had were addressed immediately and Matt always had the solution. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

We absolutely loved our stay! The house is so comfortable, we loved the layout. I actually enjoyed working in the office space. The master bath was pure luxury. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. More than enough pool towels, super comfortable patio and a pool we couldn’t get enough of. Beautiful sunsets every night. Love the location close to Saguaro NP East and 15 minutes to downtown. We hope to stay again soon. Matt and Clint are wonderful hosts and a pleasure to deal with! Thanks guys!!

Loved staying at the Ocotillo House! The house was well appointed and had lots of great spaces to relax. The backyard patio was wonderful for morning coffee and bird watching and the sunsets from the pool area were beautiful! Communication with the hosts could not have been better. We loved our “home away from home”.

Perfect desert casa for three generations of family. Beautiful living areas, pool and spa, comfy beds, and lovely desert landscaping. So close to everything- restaurants, grocery stores, saguaro national park is 3 miles away. Loved our time at Ocotillo House !

The house was perfect for my family of 6. House was very clean and had all the items you would need. Pool and hot tub was the favorite spot for my family. Matt and Clint were very responsive and checked in with me several times during our stay to make sure everything was ok and if we needed anything. I would definitely stay here again if I’m in the area.

My family and I stayed in Tucson for a wedding and I was in charge of booking a house to stay. Everyone was more than pleased with the house! It had everything we needed and wanted. Beautiful minimalistic decorations, plenty of space and all the comforts of home! But the outdoor space is a dream. Hot tub, pool, shaded lounging areas well as breath taking views! Clint and Matt were available to answer any questions in a very timely manner. Look no further and book The Ocotillo House- you won’t regret it!
