About this house rental
Beautiful historic two bedroom home located in Armory Park. Walking distance to downtown Tucson and local bars and restaurants! U of A is a 10 minute tram ride away. Impeccably furnished with every amenity you could need. Fully stocked kitchen ready to cook a feast! Stunning back yard with a new pool (pool can be heated for an additional fee -contact host for details). Plenty of patio space to lounge in the sun or relax in the shade. Peaceful and beautiful gardens with olive, grapefruit and lemon trees. A jewel in the desert. One of our first renters wrote. "...The house is great! The most well-stocked rental we've ever rented.

The house is nice antique home with many old features kept in place which is a plus! However, I encountered too many indoor insects (crickets, roaches, spiders and ants)…there was a lot of crickets. I had to spray the whole house upon arrival and still see these insects everywhere.
Also, outdoor place is nice and private however there were a lot of insects especially mosquitoes and bees.
I recommend to the person who manages this place to have the insecticide service done at least every 2 weeks for inside and outside the house.

Second time staying in this darling home and we can’t wait to return again soon! There’s no better way to experience Tucson while feeling immediately a part of the community. Location is perfection, the pool and outdoor spaces are beautiful and the walkability to nearby shops and restaurants is so convenient. We love this propert and the host is 10-stars!

Beautifully restored historic home in quiet residential area close to downtown. Home is well stocked with all the essentials and more. Super comfy beds, lovely linens and spotlessly clean. The backyard is a heavenly oasis with gorgeous pool, lots of comfy seating, serene lighting and fruit trees!
The host is so helpful and responds quickly to any questions you might have.
Stay here- you’ll love it.

Jenn’s place south of downtown has everything you might need for a relaxing stay. The backyard is beautiful with a swimming pool as its centerpiece. Evening swims under the setting sun made our trip special. Downtown is just a short walk away, be sure to walk historic fourth ave. Can’t wait to stay at Jenn’s place again.

We loved our stay in this historic home! It was perfect for our family because we could cook meals in the beautifully updated and nicely stocked kitchen, we could hang out in the backyard (and swim when it wasn't too cold), and play games in the large living and dining rooms. Jennifer was very attentive and responded to messages quickly. The location was great, too, within walking distance of many shops and restaurants, as well as the Children's Museum. If you're a light sleeper, bring ear plugs, as you can hear the train every morning (very early). I'd definitely stay here again! Thank you for the experience!

We were able to stretch out in Jenn's home for over a month. It is very comfortable. We liked the location in historic Armory Park, close to great restaurants, downtown, and the city Trolley system. We made great use of the heated pool, picked lemons and made lemonade, margaritas, and lemon tarts. We would definitely come back given the opportunity.

1902 house is charming and well-appointed. Garden is beautiful and peaceful with lots of bird activity and lemons on the tree. Neighborhood is quiet and within walking distance of downtown Tucson. The host thought of everything and created a very relaxing space. Just bring earplugs because nearby train traffic can be disturbing at night.

Beautiful historic home with lovely pool and yard including giant lemon tree full of lemons. Very comfortable beds and furniture, artfully decorated, awesome kitchen. We loved sitting on the front porch watching the world go by and lounging by the pool. Short walk to downtown and excellent lunch place (5 Points Cafe?). Highly recommend!!

This house is beautiful! The yard will take your breath away. The location is amazing. You can walk to a lot of places downtown- including cartel coffee which is our favorite. The host goes above and beyond to make sure the place is in perfect condition for you. We really hope to stay here again!

The house was simply amazing. It was very well stocked, comfortable beds, great linens and towels and a pool and back yard to die for. The house itself was charming, with wonderful furnishings and fantastic art. It was hard to leave the house to explore the sights. Great location within walking distance of town and restaurants.
Thanks so much Jennifer for sharing your beautiful home with us. We loved the goodies you provided and thanks for all the tips on where to find great margaritas.
One of the best VRBO’s ever

We stayed here for a wedding in Tucson, so I had family coming in and out for four or five days. The location is awesome, the property is gorgeous! We made sure to spend at least one whole day by the pool which is beautiful! Thanks so much and we’d love to come back some time!

I do not know where to begin singing the praises of Jen and this property! We have rented many homes through VRBO and this is one of our all time favorites. The house is in a great neighborhood, and we walked downtown several times. The house itself is cozy and well stocked. The beds were comfortable. The backyard area with pool was spectacular!
Jen made herself available for anything we wanted or questions we might have, but we were as happy as clams and wanted for nothing the four weeks we were here. If we ever find ourselves back in Tucson, we will definitely check into trying to get this place again!

This is an old house (1902) with a lot of character and charm. Curb appeal is great, only detractor is some bird droppings on the front sidewalk and gate (difficult to address). Nice landscaping out front and a relaxing front porch area.
Inside, the living room and dining room are an open concept and provides for clean, comfortable relaxing and dining. The kitchen is FULLY furnished with all sorts of cooking and serving appliances and dishes. Full-size refrigerator, oven, stove, etc.
Master Bedroom has king bed, with an older mattress and a master bath has clawfoot tub on a platform - takes forever to fill up (can't do much about water pressure in an old house), but once full, it is long enough for a 6-footer to get down into for a comfortable soak. Step stool is provided for easier access. Old toilet is small, round, and placed against the wall - difficult for larger size folks - but the second bathroom is a bit more roomy and modern.
Speaking of the second bathroom, it has a roomy shower if the clawfoot is not your cup-of-tea. The toilet is one of the old, round, small types, but at least there is room to maneuver in the second bath. Second bedroom is a nice queen with plenty of room.
The highlight? HEATED and COVERED outdoor pool at 90 deg!!! Wow! Backyard is totally worth the visit as it boasts a gas grill, wood-burning fire pit, plenty of tables and chairs, and an overall, nice/private setting. Landscaping is professional and neat. Fencing provides privacy and it almost feels like you are not near a downtown area - very well done.
Only minor things detract from this property overall - but definitely 5 stars for a property this old. The communication with the host is 5+ stars!!! We'll probably be back soon :)

To be honest the pictures of the backyard and pool area is what made us choose this house. But upon arriving we fell in love with this house. Very clean and well appointed. Jenn was absolutely wonderful to work with and had so much information about the area. The house has everything you would ever want for your stay. And of course, the outdoor area is absolutely beautiful. It was chilly when we were there but made as much use of the pool as possible. If we ever have the chance to visit again we would definitely stay at Dulce 1902!

This was by far my best VRBO experience to date. The owner was so responsive and thought if everything. The home was clean, very comfortable beds, pool and outside area is beautiful and so many little added touches. Kitchen is so well stocked and has every appliance and kitchen tool. The location was wonderful- we walked to 4th street shopping, some great restaurants and an event at the annex & music hall. Can’t wait to visit again.

My new husband and I stayed here this week for our wedding week. We could gush on and on about this home, we felt like it was ours and it was a perfect homebase for us during a busy wedding week. We had friends over to Swim and two memorable family dinners here to start and cap our wedding week. I’m so happy that the home will live on in our wedding photos and can’t wait to go back for our anniversary trips to Tucson from LA! Jennifer is the best host we’ve ever had. Hands down.

From the moment we landed, till the minute we checked out, Jennifer and her house made us feel at home in Tucson. She was lovely and funny, trusting and helpful, filling us in all about her city, her historic home, and the fun modern amenities that the home is stocked with. The home is beautiful! The yards are impeccable and full of desert plants that were blooming when we visited. The pool was a joy!! We took dips throughout the day, and did a lot of hanging around the patio table, enjoying the dappled shade of old olive trees. The beds were comfy, the kitchen full of snacks and new kitchen appliances/supplies to use, and a cool liquor store selling natural wines was located around the corner, a 2 min walk away. A grocery store for buying breakfast supplies was a 10 min walk away towards downtown. She stocked the fridge with ample snacks and staples… a major bonus! The home was in a cool and quiet neighborhood, but situated close enough to downtown to walk. Our whole party kept remarking how it was the coolest rental property they’ve ever stayed in. Thanks Jenn, we’ll be back :)

Everything exceeded our expectations as far as cleanliness as well as the place being stocked so we didn’t have to run out and get a whole bunch of supplies the first night. The backyard was gorgeous, plenty of seating and an awesome pool. Thanks Jenn for everything!

Jennifer has created a true paradise for her guests. The house is beautifully decorated and has everything a guest might need. We did not cook, but had we wanted to, the kitchen had everything we would have needed. The beds are very comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet so you can be assured of a good night’s sleep. If you want to take a nice, relaxing bath before bed, there’s a beautiful claw-foot tub and Jennifer has provided bath salts and bath bombs. (I told you she thought of everything.)
The backyard is beautiful. Jennifer has done an amazing job of landscaping and there are lights in trees, solar lights, and a beautifully lit pool. Sitting out there at night is like being in a magical fairyland. You don’t have to worry about mosquitos if you’re there in monsoon season because Jennifer has this great little bug zapper. (Again, I told you she’s thought of everything).
Jennifer was there to welcome us when we arrived. She showed us around the house and made sure we knew where everything was and how things like the pool lights worked. She spent time to talk with us and shared suggestions about places to eat. She also had two bottles of wine for us sitting on the dining room table.
Jennifer is amazing, the house is amazing. If you’re visiting Tucson, don’t think of staying anywhere else!

Jenn was the perfect hostess, responsive within the hour always and even came over to orient us to everything! The house itself is adorable, well-appointed, and in a perfect location within walking distance to some great places to eat and drink! The back yard is beautiful with a pool, fruit and olive trees, a swimming pool to cool off, and lovely tree lights! I can’t recommend this highly enough!
