Wonderful place to stay! The house was super clean and comfortable and in a really nice, quiet neighborhood. The best thing about the house (in my opinion) is the backyard. Lots of wildlife and birdwatching. It was great to sit on the back porch, relax, and watch the birds. Mike the property manager was super nice and easy to communicate with. We will definitely stay here is the next time we visit.
5.0
Gracious Home aptly named due to both the home and the hosts. We enjoyed another delightful stay at this lovely home in the desert. Close to needed commercial and nature related sites. Hosts that provide outstanding suggestions while exploring the area. Wonderful wildlife views from the backyard.

This was our second time to stay at this house - we enjoyed staying here a couple of years ago and knew we wanted to stay again when we came back to Tucson. The house is very clean and has some recent updates and plenty of space. We love the backyard landscaping and its location by the dry wash - we especially enjoyed watching the birds and wildlife!
5.0
Thank you so much for your house. We had a lovely time enjoying the view from the shady patio. It was a great place from which we enjoyed exploring Tucson.
5.0
We just completed our second stay at this beautiful home set in the desert. It’s located on a cul-de-sac and feels very private. The house is attractively decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked.
We especially enjoy all the wildlife that comes through the backyard—javalinas, road runners, quail, hummingbirds, coyotes. We enjoy sitting on the patio.
Mike is a great host. He checked in periodically to make sure we had everything we needed.
All in all, a great rental!
5.0
Another delightful stay at Casa Graciosa. We have enjoyed this peaceful desert home for several years and this was no exception. This year it provided an additional benefit in that it worked well for my spouse to rehab from ankle surgery. The location is outstanding and the wildlife visits are exceptional. Host is most gracious that we’ve ever met.
5.0
Perfect Home Base
This house provided all the “comforts of home” in a quiet desert setting. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. The nearest grocery store and restaurant are only about 10 minutes away. Downtown is an additional 5-10 minutes. But you don’t need to go far at all to enjoy hiking/walking an endless supply of trails. Try AllTrails or a similar app for all the details you need to choose what’s best for you. Loads of museums, galleries, botanical gardens…and come home to relax on the patio or the very comfortable TV room!
5.0
Great location in South end of Tucson
Very nice place to stay. On edge of desert with Dry Wash in back yard, many animals came to visit - mule deer, javelina, coyotes, gamble quail, etc.

A most wonderful stay!
We have stayed many times in Tucson, but our time here has been the best ever....comfortable home, quiet neighbourhood and welcoming hosts. Top notch!

Desert Haven
This is one of our favorite VRBO rentals for a break from our cold and cloudy northern home. Each visit we return to some of our favorite area venues and then check out new places based on Mike’s suggestions. Many of the reviews sum up what is so great about this place.

A Dream House and Location
Photos and words cannot do this house and property justice. My husband and I were here a week in November and tried to leave the property as little as possible. We were so content to sit on the patio and soak up the rays, enjoy the serene environment, and gaze at the mountain views.

Desert Tranquility
We were looking for a quiet place to enjoy springtime in the desert, and this clean spacious home definitely checked all the boxes for us.

Just right
We enjoyed our stay very much. Well located with easy access to everything we wanted to do, yet quiet and pleasantly set in a spacious neighborhood. Wildlife abounded. The house was clean and well appointed. We look forward to our next stay.
5.0
A Winner!
This spacious and pleasant house had everything we were looking for: a lovely property with a great desert garden, lots of privacy, birds and animals to watch from the covered patio (we saw a coyote meander across the yard), a pretty Mountain View, and a location convenient to the National Parks and other outdoor reserves in the area. Interactions with owner Mike Alameda were excellent, start to finish. Attention to COVID protocols was evident, which is important to us. Notes: we had good luck with Grub Hub for food delivery; people we saw in stores etc were 99% masked.

Pleasant Stay at Casa Graciosa
Casa Graciosa is a beautiful and gracious home in the desert. The house is a lovely and well equipped in a very nice neighborhood. A large patio looks out over a beautifully landscaped yard of cacti and native plants with the mountains hovering in the distance. A panoply of birds, quail, doves, wrens, woodpeckers, hummingbirds, move through the yard providing constant entertainment. Truly a wonderful oasis to rest and relax.

Our home away from home
After being on the road for 3 weeks we were ready to get out of the tight confines of a hotel room. Mike's VRBO property was perfect, just outside of Tucson with peace and quiet like we enjoy in our own home. The home was spacious, well equipped, quiet, in nature and conveniently located. Mike was a great host and taught us about Tucson which he knows well as his family is 7th generation in the areas. We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the back enjoying humming birds, small animals and a variety of birds. It was a great experience.
5.0
Great place!
My husband and I enjoyed our month-long stay in Mike’s beautiful home! It’s spacious, comfortable beds, well-outfitted kitchen, exceptionally clean and sanitized (Covid safe), with everything in good working order. We especially loved the large patio and all the wildlife. We saw javalinas, coyotes, roadrunners, quail, and doves. Very quiet neighborhood.
Mike is a great landlord. He checked in with us several times but very respectful of our privacy. He’s very thoughtful.
Overall, we highly recommend this property!

Perfect location
Just what I was hoping for — close to downtown but far enough away to really feel like I was in the desert. Great birdwatching and I had a morning visit from a javelina, too!

Wonderful!
Loved everything about our stay! Over too soon, which is usually not the case. Thank you for your immaculate and comfortable home that is peaceful yet close to everything! Thank you!
4.0
Nice place!
The rental property was a very good sized home and comfortable. A few more amenities would be nice as it was slim on cooking items and decor. Mike was great on communication and helpful on some good tips for safety on the wild pigs and rattlesnakes. Thanks Mike!
4.0
Nice house.
This is the second year we have stayed in this house, with a nice back porch that looks out on beautiful landscaping! The house was clean, and comfortable, and in a great location. The ONLY downside was it could have an upgraded cable. Not many stations to choose from in the evening. Also, a serrated knife, and a little better stocked with additional Kleenex, etc.
Thanks, Mike for another great stay.

A little piece of heaven.
We loved this propery. At the end of a day filled with activities we looked forward to the nest feeling of the property. A cozy, quiet room for reading and relaxing, as well as a comfortable tv space. And the lovely back yard and patio are such a bonus. Quiet nights were appreciated. I would rent this property again in an instant.

Great host!
Beautiful property, well managed and cared for. My uncle, a 93 year-old WWII vet loved the accommodations, the peaceful backyard and views of the mountains. We highly recommend the Sahuaros Grandes!
5.0
A beautiful and relaxing place.
The property is in a beautiful setting surrounded by sahuaro and other cacti and palo verde trees. Lots of doves and quail make for entertaining sounds and watching.
The house itself has two large badrooms, one with an ensuite. The second bathroom is just outside the second bedroom. Also, a living room, dining room, fully stocked kitchen, family room and washer/dryer. All are neat and clean.
The home is located outside of downtown, yet only 10 minutes away. It is up a hillside with a nice view. At the bottom of the hill are retail outlets such as a supermarket, restaurants, banks, gas stations, etc. All-in-all, a very convenient location to downtown and all local tourist attractions.
This is a very peaceful location, a great place to sit back, relax and enjoy the surroundings.
5.0
Wonderful
The house was exceptionally comfortable and clean. We loved the beautiful patio and desert view. Location was fantastic with easy access to all the parks for hiking as well as a nearby grocery store.
4.0
Nearly perfect!
We felt so fortunate to find this comfortable home to stay in while visiting Tucson.
The most positive points of this location:
1 - home is clean and well maintained, and spacious. It's a quiet neighborhood. I felt very safe and secure there. It was just my husband and I staying at the location, but it could very comfortably accommodate 4 adutls.
2 - yard is a fantastic, comfortable desert lawn - we saw lots of wild life
3 - location made for easy access to most anything in Tucson - took about 20 minutes to get to most sites we wanted to see and experience.
4 - having the owner, Mike, next door was an added bonus. He's readily available as needed and is a wonderful resource for any questions.
5 - access to a washer and dryer is especially nice for longer stays
6 - grocery store was about 10 minutes away.
7 - heating/AC worked perfectly
The only "likes" that I would enjoy added to this home are: 1) some large rugs in family/living rooms, and bedrooms, and 2) a second television and broader TV channel selections. I recognize these are kind of picky items, but would make the home perfect in my opinion. And, those items not being there would not prevent us from booking this location again. We would like to spend more time in Tucson, and will check here first for a place to stay.

Stay at Casa Graciosa for the Tucson Festival of Books
We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Graciosa. The house and the yard were well maintained, and the location made it easy to get to all the destinations we like. Hiking and biking trails near by. It would be nice to have a low wall or fence around the back porch, because javelinas came right up to the back sliding door several times. Thanks Mike for being a great host. We will be back next year.
5.0
Nice house with beautiful landscaping!
We came through a snowstorm starting at Wilcox,AZ to Tucson, low tire pressure in back tire, because of a nail, and low battery in key fob. We had all fixed. But when we got to Mike’s house all our tension melted away, because of the nice house, and beautiful desert landscaping. A javalina family was in the backyard eating a prickly pear cactus. The house is in a nice, safe area, and had everything we needed. Mike is very nice, and we can’t say enough good things about him, and his property!
