We loved everything about this place! It was so easy to get into the unit, the parking was close, and it was nice and quiet in the whole complex. We enjoyed hiking on the trail behind the unit, and having breakfast on the screened in patio. Inside we had everything we needed, the thermostat was very user friendly, and all of the furniture was nice and comfy. I highly recommend this place, and would definitely stay there again!

This condo is attractive, clean, and well equipped. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. You're very close to Sabino Canyon's walking/hiking option, as well as groceries, pharmacies, restaurant. It's a perfect vacation base.

The condo was just as advertised. It was very quiet, and the surrounding scenery was lovely. We met Peter, the upstairs neighbor, who was very friendly. He helps keep the gardens thriving, and took us easterners on a great tour of the place, telling us all about the various plants. He also recommended a great place to eat nearby, El Charro. Thanks so much to our hosts and to Peter for a very enjoyable and relaxing stay!

A great piece of a paradise! We loved the owner's attention to detail with amenities included (pool floats, kitchen supplies and board games). The heated pools were amazing and the hike behind the condo was breathtaking.

We had a very active and relaxing stay—rejuvenating might be the best term. The condo is clean, well stocked and very quiet. We enjoyed the pools and proximity to hiking. A heat wave came while we were here with 100+ degrees, so we didn’t get on the tennis courts, but will definitely take advantage of that option if we return. Our family of four found the condo to be a great respite from Seattle’s rainy weather during spring break.

Another great stay
This is the second time we’ve stayed here…..that says it all, right? A well-outfitted kitchen, lots of towels, near the hiking trail and great owners. We’ll be back!

Lovely foothills home base
Our stay at Sonoran Oasis was absolutely wonderful! We lucked out finding this gem of a place as we have family that rents in the same complex. The condo was so welcoming, clean, and well-stocked—with towels, kitchen supplies, and kid-friendly games. We traveled with our two young kids (5 and 8) and they loved learning the classic board games (Jenga and original Sorry edition especially). And of course they loved the pool every day even in 60-degree weather. The Ventana Canyon trail access is steps from this unit's door and that trail is one of our favorite hikes in Tucson.
I could tell this unit's owners have mastered the art of hospitality and detail. We appreciated the coffee supplies including Nespresso machine and pods, fully stocked kitchen, ample linens and towels, and the washer/dryer with supplies (detergent) was very convenient for our family home base.
We would love to stay here again and will recommend to anyone coming to Tucson.

Shocking
It would be nice if you were more up front with how much the unit costs per night. It's listed for one price per night, and actually costs over twice what it listed for. The extra fees were more than the unit.
We were shocked by static electricity non stop.
The ice maker sounded like it was sending Morse code.
The pillows on the bed looked good, but really were not comfortable.
It was a cute, clean. Convenient place, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Best Value in Ventana Canyon
This property checked all the boxes. It was great to have so many amenities. I liked having the sugar, coffee and all the spices provided Usually we have to buy all of those things even though we can’t use them all up. I like to cook and all the necessary utensils and cookware you need are stocked. The furniture and beds are comfortable. We love the location right next to the mountains with the Ventana Trail access just steps from the unit. 👍👍

Peaceful, pleasant, very comfortable stay
What a lovely, peaceful location, but very convenient for activities. The condo was well furnished with everything needed, including a hair dryer, all kitchen appliances and tools, and even an espresso machine. Best of all was the decor--very Southwest, very lovely and unique. Two beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms, both with great showers. We especially enjoyed the screened-in patio off the kitchen/dining area, which was surprisingly private because of the foliage outside. We've stayed in several vrbo's in the Tucson area and this is one of our favorites. Thank you, Tom and Noelle!

great condo
We have stayed in many VRBO condos in Tucson while visiting our grandchildren, including several in the Canyon View development. I would give this unit a 6 star rating if I could. Everything is top-notch, from the location (by the pool and by the entrance to the wonderful hiking trail) to the amenities (tennis rackets, hiking sticks, pool towels, plenty of plates and glasses) to the nice carpet (appreciated since we were on the ground a lot with our young grandsons) to the fun Southwest decor. We hope to stay here again!

Great get-away with a view!
We loved our stay in the quiet community located within easy walking distance to the Ventana Hiking Trailhead in the Catalina Mountains. This is our 2nd stay - but in a different condo. It was a great stay - comfortable bed, living room furniture, and well equipped kitchen. A bonus was a great cable tv package. We majored in hiking, but relaxed with our favorite Wisconsin sports teams playing in December.

Stress free getaway
During this COVID stay this property was perfect. Clean, well stocked, we cooked every meal in house. Grill nice until it blew a fuse. Thomas was so responsive with all our questions. Enjoyed Ventana hiking trail right off parking lot. Hiked and biked all over area. Pool and hot tub very nice and check in process made it safe.

The property itself is well appointed, and you can find whatever you need to cook a meal. There is a nice trail just outside the door and to the left of the condos parking space (access with a key left by the condo owner). Shopping and good restaurants are close by.When we arrived (about 4:30 pm) the given code did not work and I both called and text several times to gain access. Now 45 minutes waiting to get a response may not seem like a long time, but after 12 hours of waking and travel time, it certainly became concerning. The owner did eventually call and give us a different code, but his comment of not responding “in a minute” was in my opinion inconsiderate.We also felt there was some housekeeping issues that should be addressed. We both began having eye irritation towards the end of the second day, and noticed the ceiling air intake vent for air conditioning was so full of dirty dust that we got the vacuum out and cleaned it to spare our eyes further irritation. The back patio was also very dirty/dusty and I swept so we could use it, but couldn’t find a dust pan. All in all I would have given the property a better rating, but feel the remark, vent and other housekeeping concerns was a good reason not to.

It was a very nice accommodation. The heated pool added to the enjoyment. The only downside was not having someone to come in to tidy up each day.

Beautiful Foothills Location
Everything was very well appointed and we appreciated all the little details; coffee (thank you!), filters, extra paper towels, etc. The beds were super comfy too and we very much enjoyed the central location of this unit. Will definitely want to stay here again!

A 10-day visit
Nice quiet community close to hiking areas on the north side of Tucson. The three of us enjoyed our stay with the condo stocked with lots of cooking utensils. The place even has coffee, paper towels, spices etc. The pools and spa are nice and in these ‘winter’ months uncrowded. A great visit.

Nice place!
This was a nice place to stay.... first time I have used VRBO and can day will do it again. The condo was nice and clean. There were plenty of "starter" supplies including paper towels, coffee and spices. The common areas were awesome and we even took advantage of the entry to the Ventanya trail.
