This is a great property that is just as nice as the VRBO photos depict. The owners, Shelly and Andy, are perhaps the nicest and easiest to work with owners we have ever experienced. I cannot think of one flaw with the property. The house and surroundings are extremely well decorated. The kitchen was top notch. The master bedroom and bathroom was extremely good. The living/dining room is spacious and well decorated. The internet was sound. And, plenty of tvs to go around. If the VRBO photos and descriptions interest you, don't hesistate to book this property.

Wonderful, very comfortable!

Wonderful home and outdoor area. Will definitely return!

A very comfy house - the furniture, beds and decor makes this house warm and inviting. The exterior has lots of lounging areas to enjoy the birds and other wildlife. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking all though there are plenty of good restaurants in the area too. The location is close to the grocery storeIf you miss this house, find the hosts other houses in the same neighborhood. The hosts help make the stay great with complementary food upon arrival so you have snacks and breakfast after a long day of travel. Their attention to detail from the decor to the furniture to the large TV with a sound bar sets themselves above most all other hosts. You will thoroughly enjoy your stay at any of their houses.

We had a great time in the house and loved the neighborhood, which is great for walking or visiting the hiking trails in Saguaro National Park and Sabino Canyon. Shelly was very helpful and it was nice to have a basket of food and wine on the counter when we arrived and some food in the refrigerator after a day of travel.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this property. Shelly was responsive and kind. The neighbourhood was perfectly positioned for access to the areas we wanted. The birds on the property were a bonus! The home is stunning - well laid out, lots of places to sit and just "be", excellent amenities. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

We gathered here for our 4th child's wedding at Saguaro Butte's. It was beautiful. Lot's of individual areas for people to visit. comfortable beds, nice linens. Decorated beautifully. I did put a lot of breakables away in the Master closet because I have an active 2 yr old grandson. Shelly and Andy were very supportive of this, no problem. Casita on property is also adorable. (we rented that, too) Everything is very well done, clean and in working order. Wifi worked great. Lots of smart TVs, tho' we didn't really use them. Would love to stay there again when I have more time to roam the neighborhood.

This is a peaceful, quiet spot to vacation. Greats walks and pool access. Close access to many activities. Awesome views. Shelley and Andrew are so warm and hospitable. We must return.

Our family of five celebrated Thanksgiving in this well-equipped home in Civano with generous space, privacy, comfort and all the amenities needed to enjoy a home away from home. Thank you, Shelly and Andy!

This is a perfect home for a larger group. We rented the Casita as well and really enjoyed the outdoor space and fire pit in the evenings. Andy and Shelley were perfect hosts and thoughtfully had everything we needed in the house. Excellent experience and property!

This gorgeous and well-appointed home was all as described in the posting. What we didn’t expect but were delighted to enjoy were the monarch butterflies, quail, hummingbirds and more in the garden and views of the night sky that didn’t quit! We would definitely consider staying here again. Incredibly relaxing place to use as home base during our visit to Arizona. The hosts were attentive and responsive but not intrusive. Thanks, Shelly and Andy!!

We can not think Shelly & Andy enough! Their property was absolutely beautiful! The location in Civano is magical, all the surrounding homes, the morning sunrise, the evening sunsets, the view of the mountains all spectacular. The location of their property is close enough to access all the Tucson and surrounding area and sites easily with minimal driving.The property was spotless when we checked in, Andy & Shelly answered all of our questions, and made sure that if we needed anything they would take care of us. We will be coming back and staying at this property, very soon. Andy & Shelly went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, enjoyable, wonderful! Thank you both, we will be back!

The home was amazing and met all of our needs! The owners were wonderful!

What a wonderful home to spend a week in! It had every detail and was so beautiful. The outside spaces (where we spent a great deal of time) were lovely to sit in and enjoy the views! We were so sad to leave! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

When we arrived, there was a guest package with snacks and good stuff! The owner was very friendly and helpful. The house was way above average in accommodations. We would not hesitate renting this home again. The wildlife and view was spectacular. Definitely #1!!!

What a wonderful place! From the moment we walked in, we loved this house! It was comfortable, stocked for us with all the necessities! Shelly and Andy are terrific hosts, and they took great care of us while we were there. Civano is a great location for exploring the Tucson area, and the neighborhood was delightful. We highly recommend this vacation house. Thank you Shelly and Andy! Looking forward to our next visit!

Our stay was great. The house was comfortable and nicely decorated. Shelly and Andy were perfect hosts.

What a great home for an all girls' get-away! We had the house and the casita for the month of February 2019. We each had our own room but loved the common areas. The patio was great for relaxing, bird watching and, in the evening, using the BBQ and the Fire Pit. The Civano complex has wonderful little pathways to wander and make your way around. I can't say enough about the owners: Shelly and Andy were fabulous hosts - the best we've ever had and we've been taking these winter vacations for 6 years. They made us feel like a part of the community. The location is ideal if you like to hike. You're close to Saguaro East but Madera Canyon is a reasonable drive as are Saguaro West and Sabino Canyon.

Large house with great view. Very clean ,well decorated in perfect neighbor hood for long safe walks

My family enjoyed our stay at the Civano house. We felt very safe walking at night. Shelly greeted us upon arrival and left us breakfast items, coffee, and snacks. We will definitely stay here each time we visit Tucson. Thank you Shelly!

Shelly and Alan are fabulous hosts who go the extra mile to make their home inviting. Their welcome upon our arrival included a pleasantly stocked kitchen for our first day in Tucson. Shelly didn’t hesitate to add a Sports channel for bowl games on New Years day or a down comforter in anticipation of the wintery weather advisory. While we initially came to Tucson seeking warmer weather during our holiday vacation, the warmth of Shelly & Alan’s home and hospitality well made up for the unseasonably cold weather and snow outside. The views from their home are breathtaking, and the snow only added to the charm. I would recommend their home to anyone wishing to get away and relax. We would definitely enjoy a return trip.

Beautiful home, well-appointed, and wonderful hospitality! We had a fantastic Christmas with the whole family while staying here. Beds are comfy, everything is clean, lots of room indoors and out. Only positive things to say - would definitely stay again.

We loved every minute of our stay in this home. We were visiting family in Tucson the week before Christmas and decided on a vacation rental over a hotel to make our stay more comfortable. The home was impeccably clean, the bedding and towels are luxurious, the kitchen is well equipped and the outdoor areas are as inviting as the inside. The owners of this home are some of the kindest and most helpful we have ever rented from and we cannot wait to return.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Carlson's splendid home. They are very hospitable and go the extra mile to make your stay a pleasant one. We booked their home due to the proximity to the Saguaro National Park. We stayed at their home for the last few weeks of January and found the weather perfect. The views of the hills and surroundings are wonderful, especially at sunrise. The hosts are close by and are there for you for any question. Civano is a quiet neighborhood with many hiking trails close by. The development has swimming pools and tennis/pickleball courts close by. The unit itself has everything you would require for your stay. We would highly recommend this home for a couple, family or group as it has 3 separate bedrooms.

The pictures show the house as it is. Very clean and in excellent maintenence. Very nice neighborhood for frequent 1 to 3 mile walks. Perfectly safe with many walkers including kids to and from school

This home has everything, and a very gracious host to boot. Thanks and we'll be back!

This property in Civano was perfect! Shelly was a wonderful host who greeted us happily even though our arrival was very late. This quiet home was very roomy for our family of four. The décor - beautiful! Shelly had everything we needed to make our stay complete. Very convenient pool and coffee house located within walking distance. We can't wait to go back! Thank you!

I always look forward to the Tour de France bicycle race each July, particularly the mountain stages. Each mountain is given a classification from 4 being the easiest to 1 being the most difficult...and then there are those amazingly tough mountains which are given the classification of “hors categorie” (HC), meaning “beyond category”. “Beyond Category” is how our group feels about Shelly, Andy, and this property. We would give more stars in our rating if we could! This Civano Charmer is special. It is classy and comfortable. Every detail has been well thought out and tended to...Shelly and Andy have a gift. The Civano neighborhood was also a pleasant surprise. We loved both morning and evening walks around the neighborhood as well as the cute trick-or-treaters who came to the door on Halloween. It is a warm and friendly place. Book this property if it’s available and feel a sense of relief that you’ve made a great decision!

This home is fabulous and Civano is a great place. It is a special area developed originally by the Arizona Solar Village Corporation to counter urban sprawl and provide a cohesive community that considers the environment, preserves the Sonoran Desert plants in its development, and encourages a healthy lifestyle. This home is on the outer edge of the community on about a third of an acre, so you can enjoy the quiet beauty of the desert and the mountains, as well as the fabulous night sky. Shelly and Andy are amazing hosts. The home is beautifully appointed and yet is very comfortable and easy to stay in; basically it’s great for cooking, eating and conversation in a very calming space. The bedrooms are fabulous. Coffee in the morning with the sun coming up was a perfect way to start the day. Listening to music, reading, photographing and making art throughout the day and evening was what we hoped for and what we did. For siteseeing, there are fabulous art centers, the Saguaro National Parks, East and West, the Sonoran Desert Museum, among many other attractions. The Pima Air and Space Museum is a must, as is the Mission San Xavier del Bac. Shelly provided great information on what do and terrific places to eat. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Shelly and Andy from the moment we arranged our stay to our arrival (our plane was very late and they offered to make us dinner!), and finally our departure. This was the best vacation. Endless thanks to our hosts for making it so.

We had an amazing stay in this house. The décor inside and outside is incredible! We loved the outside seating areas and took advantage of all of them at different times during the day and night, so we could enjoy both the mountain views and the neighborhood view. It's obvious that Shelly has put a lot of love into every detail of the house, and she is a very attentive and thoughtful host who provides special touches for her guests throughout the house (including a ton of snacks, breakfast foods, wine, water - but also area maps, a fully supplied kitchen, wonderful toiletries, cleaning products, and laundry detergent), as well as always being available for any questions and happy to talk about things to do in the area. Several houses that we have stayed in feel like an empty house that someone has thrown some furniture in - staying in this house felt like housesitting for a fabulous friend (even decorated for the season)! We had a great time in Tucson, but are most looking forward to our next visit just to stay in this house again!!
