Was a nice place, people were nice and friendly.
10.0 / 10.0
We recently spent nine nights here and it was the perfect place for us. All the comforts of home (well, almost!), a safe neighborhood, two grocery stores one minute drive away, and all the shops and restaurants you could want very close by, including the Tucson Mall. The pool looked very inviting but this was December so it didn't get any use. The property was clean, well-kept, and quiet.

Owners were great to work with, timely responses. Unit was clean & very well stocked. Had gas grills available which was a very nice feature, grilled several nights. Location was great, grocery store about 2 blocks, mall about 1 mile. Road to access was rough, only negative.

Our crew needed a place in Tucson for the weekend but many of the hotels were booked due to a convention in town. We were glad to find this place. Well-maintained and perfect.

Photos don’t do Maria’s place justice. Very nicely decorated with newer furniture and Southwestern Art. She is a detail person and has a well supplied kitchen and bath.. Very clean casita directly next to the pool with a good view of the kids if you bring any. We did not but would bring our grandkids with out a doubt. My wife who is a tough reviewer said she would stay for 2 months with no hesitation. Great location and excellent security gate which you operate.

Not Friendly - Poor WiFi
We’ve rented from vrbo for 20 years but have never encountered such grumpy owners. Any request or question was met with a hostile attitude. The WiFi was abysmal - movies froze on the screen, iPads lost connections - because they’re trying to serve all 12 units with one router, using extensions. Filters on the heat vents hadn’t been changed for ages so when we turned the heat on, dust blew out. There was no vacuum, so I bought a mop to wipe the dust off the floors every day. Two kitchen pans were crusted with burnt food so we bought new ones and left them there. We won’t be back.

Home away from Home
We enjoyed our stay very much. The home had everything we needed and more. Comfortable accommodations, full kitchen, and great living room space for relaxing. It was everything Maria and Carla said it would be. Gated community, felt very safe.

Cute
It has been nicely upgraded and clean. Security is good with access gates. There a couple of minor things that need attention to make this the perfect stay.

Tucson Get away
The condo was lovely in a very secure gated area. Not the greatest part of Tucson, but I felt safe. The condo and grounds were very clean and there was a great little back yard for my dog.

Happy Homecoming

Close to University of Arizona where we spent the weekend at their Homecoming

Spontaneous Weekend Getaway
I have stayed in 3 of the casitas in the complex. This was the best of the 3 for me. It was super clean, comfortable beds, adequate kitchen for a quick trip. Location is great and I appreciate the gated parking. Another unit had a garage door opener and that was certainly easier, but not a necessity. Close to shopping, restuarants and grocery stores.

A great place to stay
Very clean, large and well equipped place. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we are in Tucson. Hosts very responsive.

Oasis In The Middle Of Tucson
My youngest son and I stayed in a 2 bed/2bath casita at the Desert Morada Casitas property. We had almost daily visits from friends of mine that now live in Tucson, and my second oldest son came and spent a night with us.
It is a wonderful surprise in the middle of a mixed income neighborhood that is being revitalized by people like Carla and Maria (the owners/operators of this property). They have created a small gated community of 13 single level casitas that share the pool and barbecuing areas.
I had the opportunity to meet some of the other guest while enjoying the pool and everyone I met was very pleasant. My youngest son even made a friend that he is staying in touch with.
The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The living room furnishings were meant for living in and not for a reception area, as has been the case at other locations I have stayed at. All bedding, towels (for indoor and pool use), and pots/pans/plates/cups/small appliances and utensils, even some basic seasonings, etc. were supplied. They also supplied shampoo (no conditioner), body wash and lotion. You just need to bring yourself, some clothes and basic toiletries to enjoy this hidden gem.
Communication was wonderful between the owners and I. Texting will get you the fastest response as these ladies do still work. They also have on site maintenance personnel who were also very pleasant.
I was doing the dishes one day and realized I was standing in a puddle. It turned out that the garbage disposal had cracked and was leaking under the sink. Within minutes of me texting Carla someone had left extra towels/rags outside my casita to help sop up the mess, and by the next morning the issue had been addressed with the installation of a new garbage disposal. I've never had such fast, reliable service/communication between myself and an owner/operator of any vacation property I have stayed at.
I am totally impressed with these ladies and hope they build more of these locations. I wish them every success! They've earned it.
P.S. They're also dog friendly. I'm not sure about cats.

Peaceful Oasis Home away from home
This will be our 3rd time staying at this beautiful Oasis. The care of the property and amenities are excellent. We love the peaceful area and location for access to time with area friends and family plus area attractions. Our two small dogs enjoy the back patio and the landscaping is attentive to dogs to are not familiar with cactus. We love that you don’t smell previous dogs inside or out and that our pets are safe and happy.

Wonderful Local Getaway
We discovered this property looking for a quick staycation from Phoenix, and we're so happy we found it! Great location, so close to grocery store shopping and dining, while feeling like a secluded getaway all at the same time. We loved the pool, and the apartment was beautifully decorated and clean. Our senior dog had her own enclosed patio area and was very comfortable. We would 100% recommend and stay at this property again.

A professional experience in a transitional neighborhood
We decided to escape COVID winter in Denver for the warmth of Tucson. It was our first visit to the city. This casita community is great. Very professionally maintained, quiet, situated around a central pool with secure parking and private outdoor space for each unit. We were happy to have space to let the dogs out, store the bikes, and soak up some sun. Our unit was in great shape. Beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked. The hosts, Maria and Carla, responded promptly to any and all requests. I will say that the neighborhood is a little rough, not unsafe but lacking sidewalks and street lights, it's not a great area to go for a walk. However, there are parks nearby and Sprouts and Traders Joes are very close.

Very nice place
This is a nice home with lovely antique furniture and plenty of space for us two sisters. We would have liked to have used the pool - it’s very attractive and right outside the front door - but it was brr cold outside! We met several people in the community and they were friendly and courteous. Marie was very helpful with a couple of minor issues we had. Be aware that the WiFi is sketchy, Marie got it fixed for us but then it stopped working again. Very likely user error on our part! We left before we had a chance to work on it with her again. We would definitely stay here again!

In time of need
My sister was in a bad accident and required a long hospital stay. After several days in hotel, it was good to be able to get a house to stay in. We could relax better, plus cook meals. It was definitely a better experience concidering the reson for being thete.

Lovely Updated Casita With Room to Spread Out
Roomy, comfortable and nicely updated with brand new appliances. The setting of the casitas around the pool is charming. Especially liked the unique tiles in kitchen and baths. Appreciated the large walk-in closet in the master bedroom. Good place to relax while visiting Tucson.

Our Wonderful Weekend
Loved everything about Desert Morada Casita B! From the beautiful decor to the very comfortable furniture, every part of the casita has been well designed. When we arrived, we found a very clean and welcoming vacation home. The casita was fully furnished with top quality products making our stay even more pleasant and enjoyable. Even though it is tucked away from the busy streets, it is very conveniently located by grocery stores, the U of A, restaurants and the Tucson Mall. Parking is very convenient and secure. I would highly recommend Desert Morada Casitas and look forward to staying there again soon!
