About this house rental

Lovely Casita nestled in the Foothills of Tucson. City lights and spectacular mountain views! This original 1930s Perkins Addition guest ranch adobe casita has been lovingly restored and features 2 ft. adobe walls with true lime plaster (just like San Xavier del Bac Mission). The home has retained all the details of guest ranch charm but has been updated with the modern amenities of European appliances in the kitchen and laundry facility and upgraded spacious bath suite. Mesquite wood and copper countertops complement the original ox blood concrete floors and Douglas fir wood ceilings and doors. The views are panoramic and the home sits on a two acre hilltop lot above the hub of the River walk and the St. Phillips Plaza area. You will feel like part of the old west, but will be conveniently located to the University of Arizona and Downtown Tucson with all of the nightlife, culture and dining at your doorstep. The "chicken coop" features a lighted outdoor entertainment area complete with gas grill and nearby hot tub (great for star gazing).

King-sized bed with upgraded linens and high speed internet complete the adobe retreat. You will never want to leave.

We had a wonderful stay at the casita - great location and amenities as well as relaxing time away from home. We have stayed in the foothills before and this is our favorite spot with great city views. Good neighbors to tell us of restaurants we had not found on our own. Best spot to stay!

The casita is in a pleasant neighborhood perched on a ridge at the very end of the street. At times you can hear some traffic from below, but not enough to bother the tranquillity. There is a city view with distant mountains from the back patio and a stunning mountain view from the front. Unique style in furnishings and design. We did have to get used to the kitchen utilities! There is no oven; instead, an induction stovetop and a "very smart" microwave. Once mastered, no problem. Desert hiking trails are nearby and also all town conveniences. We enjoyed our stay!

We have been to several places over the years and this place will stay with us as one of the best places we have been to! It has such awesome views and it's nice and private. I enjoyed all the wonderful extra amenities, like the hot tub, filtered water, BBQ and so much else! We would love to come again!

The casita was the perfect blend of simplification and appointment. The outside areas are positioned well to view the lights of Tucson and the mountains to the north and east of the property. The landscaping and plants are perfectly placed to allow privacy (hot tub) without sacrificing the views. J (the owner) was super-responsive and we couldn't have asked for a better "home base" to explore the area. All-in-all, one of the top VRBO properties we've stayed in.

Great area, great little house

Great area, great little house

We loved this neighborhood, with its dirt road and fun places to walk. It was very convenient, fairly centrally located to hiking that we did every day. We loved the hot tub and outdoor fireplace, and had guests at the outdoor table by the chicken coop. The house looked exactly like the photos and the bed was quite comfortable. Working with the owner on a couple small issues was super-quick. Hope to stay again!

The word Casita doesn’t quite capture this place. It’s more like a small luxury residence. The architecture, quality of the materials, interior design and furnishings are luxurious. We highly recommend this place. We enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset from the hot tub. It’s conveniently located to everything. Thank you

We had a wonderful time in Tucson and Jose casita was just perfect. The house is well appointed and had everything we needed. The nice detail of pastries and beverages was a treat. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing after a long day in the city or parks. We would love to visit again and would definitely book the casita again.

Fantastic time in a beautiful location. Surrounded by mountains and stunning sunrises and sunsets. Long hikes and home cooked meals in a well stocked kitchen yet, close enough to delicious tacos and margaritas. We spent three weeks and wished it could have been longer. Excellent hosts!

I cannot get enough of this property!

I cannot get enough of this property!

My second time staying here, and I love it! It is now my home away from home in Tucson. The house is immaculately maintained and clean, with all of the amenities one could ever need. I love the fully-appointed kitchen, with the tools to make anything from a cup of coffee to a full meal. The owner clearly loves this house, and each of the little touches in every room and on the grounds make it feel like home - if I had better decorating taste and an awesome house on a hill. lol. I am moving in, J! Just kidding...sort of. :) Thank you! I will be back!

Absolutely lovely!

Absolutely lovely!

This was our first stay in Tuscon and I hope it won't be our last. The casita was immaculately clean upon our arrival, and it is beautifully designed and decorated. Such a sweet bungalow! The furnishings are elegant but comfortable, and the bed linens are luxurious. The kitchen has brand new appliances and is adequately stocked if you prefer to prepare your meals at home, and there is an outdoor grill. Our host even included dishwashing soap, paper towels, and bathroom toiletries, all of which were very much appreciated. Although the property feels quite private, there is easy access to restaurants and shopping and the AMAZING bike path that runs throughout the city. We enjoyed postcard-worthy sunsets from the back porch, and our host graciously came to our rescue when we couldn't figure out how to operate the hot tub. We highly recommend this intimate setting!

Elegance and sophistication meets Old West charm!

Elegance and sophistication meets Old West charm!

Good Wi-Fi and smart TV, all the latest European appliances in a wonderfully restored 1930’s era home, with exposed beams and roof boards, thick adobe walls, and period furniture. Spacious, accessible home, with three patios (one covered), outdoor heater and grill, in-ground hot tub, this place has every accoutrement. But the best part are the views. Sunrise over the Rincon Mountains? Check. Sunsets over the Tucson Mountains. Check. Panoramic view of the city of Tucson and the distant Sierrita and Santa Rita Mountains. Check. Santa Catalina Mountains so close you feel like you could reach out and touch them? Check. Everywhere you look, gorgeous views are right there. Close to the city, fairly close to shopping and dining (including the El Corral and Anthony’s Cigar Emporium within walking distance. We loved our stay and would stay again when we return to Tucson. Thanks Jay! It was really difficult returning to snow covered Minnesota!

Spectacular and Memorable Experience

Spectacular and Memorable Experience

Jose's adobe was amazing and fabulous. The adobe itself has been renovated with the utmost detail and with all topnotch appliances and amenities one would need. The property itself is large and very private. The outdoor grill / picnic area is a great place to enjoy eating outside (nicely tiled picnic table) - there were other areas to lounge / relax. It is also close to many good restaurants and many superb golf courses within a twenty-ish minute drive. Jose was a gracious host - easy to contact and responded always immediately. He was very welcoming and made check-in and check-out easy. All in all, we had a wonderful stay that well exceeded expectations. It was the best VRBO/Homeaway stay and definitely looking forward to coming back in the near future. I would highly recommend.
