We had a wonderful time at the Tucson Hilltop Estate, the home had plenty of room and areas to gather. Beautiful views everywhere, close to many delicious places to eat and great location for sight seeing.

My family of 8 adults stayed for the holidays. Caryl is an excellent host. She was always quick to respond to my questions. Her suggestion of having the hot tub heated at specific times two times per day was excellent, took away any logistical problems of remote start. The property was at a great location for the hiking activities of my family The steepness of the driveway was pretty intimidating the first go, but pro tip is to go in reverse and use backup camera. There are a lot of stairs in the house and the steepness of the driveway may make this property a challenge for some seniors or those with mobility issues. We had a lovely vacation.

Love this house! I would rent this home again. It sets on a hill and has beautiful sunset views. It is in a gated community in north east Tucson. Clean and roomy enough for our family. The kitchen is amazing. The beds were comfortable and the furnishings upscale and lovely. Even a few Christmas decorations for the season! The owner is very kind and easy to work with. A couple of things to note: The driveway is steep—but we are used to that. We didn’t seem to get how to adjust the heating for us—but didn’t ask-we just managed! The pool can be heated for an additional price. There is a solar powered camera at the pool and I didn’t understand that—unless someone is watching the guests and/or children? Idk 🤷🏼‍♀️ Overall a nice get away for us.

Great property with spectacular views. Nice kitchen for our thanksgiving holiday trip. Only concern was entry into the gated complex upon arrival at 3pm since one-time code did not work.

What an amazing property! Beautiful views! My wife loved the high end kitchen. The home was spacious and beautifully decorated. We will be back next year.

The property was truly amazing. The kitchen had professional grade appliances not to mention the awesome views. There was plenty of room for our family to gather and sneak off to for privacy. The property has several private patios all with amazing views. We will be back next year !

Overall, it was good, however, there were some concerns: (1) There were no "essentials". One couple went out and had to buy toiler paper, kleenex and large garbage bags beccause there were none available (2) There was only one gate FOB and we had four cars. When you entered the "code" , it never rarely worked. (3) One of the reasons we rented the home was it had a hot tub. We played a lot of golf and wished we had a HOT hot tub all the time. Though the owner was helpful it turning it on, we wish there was an easier control to turn it on. (4) Towel rack in downstairs bathroom (room with double bed and twin bed) was broken. (5) There were only two kitchen towels (we had 8 people and lots of chefs !). Also, no wine glasses. There was crystal in curio cabinets that we choose not to use. Trip to Dollar Store could fix this for less than $10.00. (6) Bedroom upstairs (smaller one) had no soap in soap dispenser. Really don't want to complain, but the home is on the high price range and guests really shouldn't have to go to the store to buy toilet paper ! Hope these suggestions help you. Thanks.

Amazing stay! Had family together, great time. Awesome house.

We stayed here for a girls weekend over Memorial Day weekend. The house is enormous with plenty of space for everyone! The patios were spacious and well furnished with amazing views—we spent a lot of time outside. We had trouble with 2 of the showers, but we made do just fine with the other 2. Everything was well stocked and the beds were super comfortable! The only thing I would let people know is that the driveway is VERY steep! When we arrived the sun was directly in our eyes and I had to use the front camera in my car to be able to see down it! You get used to it, but it’s a little unnerving at first! Overall a lovely property!!

Loved everything about this property and location! The home's design, windows, and decks provide spectacular views of the city and mountains from every room. There are sweet, comfy nooks inside and out for reading, chatting, napping. The house is full of light. The kitchen and appliances are to die for. My husband and I are already thinking to return to this abode! Enjoy!

Wonderful experience. Property manager was so easy to work with and responds to any concerns promptly. Spacious house for families to stay. Safe neighborhood. Spectacular views!

Enjoyed our stay very much. Beautiful location.

We flew into town to watch our son/nephew play baseball for spring training. This was a great place to land in between games. Caryl was easy to get a hold of with any questions and the place was filled with great amenities that were useful. The hot tub was an attraction for us when booking, but turned out to be an issue when trying to use it. It wasn’t hot when we wanted to use it and took a lot of negotiating to get it turned on for the times we would be there. Then when we requested specific hours to use it, the hours requested were cut short waiting for it to heat up for 2 hours and it started cooling down an hour before the time we requested. Other than the hot tub issue, we have no complaints - the view was AMAZING!

all 5 star but for hot tub control.renter should be able to heat the tub up at their convenience rather than contact manager to have them do it.

This VRBO is palatial. Best place we've ever stayed. Great view of the city, the sunset and the hills.

We had a lovely time at this home. However it is not for everyone. Pros: Great view, hot tub, plenty of space for everyone, lovely cooks kitchen Cons: Driveway is very steep and has a blind exit, lots of stairs We enjoyed cooking and sitting around the large dining table. It has a very interesting decoration collection.

We had an excellent time. The house has phenomenal views. It also has very high end appliances.

The 4-bedroom home is spacious and has amazing views of the valley. Check in was easy and the host was very responsive to all of our needs. The house was quirky but had plenty of hangout spaces for our 8-person group.

The house was great for our group. Plenty of room for everyone and the sunset view was amazing!

We had a great stat. House has amazing views and close to mountains!

This property was by far the most eclectic and interesting property I've ever stayed in. It takes at least a day just to learn your way around the property which was kind of fun. We are a fun-loving adaptable family so we may the best of it all. Just a note, we just happen to be there during the worst monsoon in 10 years. It was still very beautiful and enough breaks in the wonderful warm rain to enjoy the pool area and multiple patios and balconies around the property. Issues with the hot tub need to be addressed. Very nice host with great communication and patience 😊

We stayed for 9 days - had a great time. It’s a big house, plenty of space to sit and relax indoors or out. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub, used both each day. The balconies and outdoor seating is really nice - reading, relaxing and just watching the sunsets, we enjoyed them all!We did have some issues. The house was clean, but really needs a deep cleaning (I used to clean houses like this, I’m probably pickier than most and I notice things). There was no dish rag or sponge at all in the kitchen, no broom, no mop, nothing to clean up with! We both had issues with hot water (kitchen, master, lower level) - it sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t. The a/c works too well - we turned it off at one point because it was too cold in the house, but figured it out quickly. And we gave up trying to figure out the TVs, and just hooked up a laptop to the tv to watch.Lastly, in a 4 bath house, we ran out of TP (did I mention there were only 2 of us)! Although the owner brought some by a few days later, it was annoying!Overall we enjoyed our stay. This is a great house for families or groups because of the layout and amount of space for separate activities.

After numerous trips to Tucson we were finally able to book a stay at Tucson Hilltop Estate. The pictures and description did not do this well kept, clean, spacious, and very private home justice. The street is gated: privacy, solitude and security are guaranteed. We had friends and family stay with us for a wedding in Tucson. The layout of the home is such that everyone felt as if they were in their own private rental on multiple floors. The massive open floor plan on the main floor was great for large group gatherings. The kitchen was large, clean and boasted professional appliances all in perfect working order. The highlight for us was the hot tub, patio and crystal clear infinity pool with commanding views of Tucson day and night. There's a great grocery store (Basha's) just minutes away as is the very close access to Sabino Canyon and world class golf. Check-in was a breeze and the owner Caryl was very pleasant to work with. Can't wait to stay again!

The house was perfect for our family. The home was very spacious and the views were amazing :)

Lovely home with incredible scenery. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a first class accommodation!

What this place has going for it are great views, lots of space, and peace and quiet. If you have a large family and/or kids, there are plenty of rooms and 3 levels of living areas to space everyone out. You won’t hear a peep from the neighbors and great if you just want to find a nook and soak up the views. There are games and a small pool table in the lower level that we didn’t use, but fun for kids or playful adults who do. As other reviews have stated, the house is an eclectic mix of furniture and art, not a modern, open floor plan. It seems more like someone’s lived-in home rather than a place set up for a regular vacation rental. Some love that quality about it, others don’t. We found a piece of leftover clothing and a used bar of soap in the master bath where we were going to store our toiletries, and had a problem with the grill not heating past 250 for a roasting chicken, so switched to the oven in the kitchen to finish the cooking. Also had some troubles with the kitchen fridge cooling, so we used a 2nd fridge on the lower level instead; and WiFi needing a reset, but the owner was quick to respond, friendly, and apologetic. Depending on your tastes and preferences, these may be just minor inconveniences as you decide on a vacation rental.

We enjoyed staying here a lot enjoyed the house size and the views are incredible. My only complaint is the pool heating temp and schedule. No way was the pool heated to 80 degrees that you pay extra for, and it would be nice if the spa was heated longer at night. But overall it was a fun stay!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was very accommodating, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and gathering areas. Best parts were the numerous outdoor sitting areas, pool and views. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great location & views - dangerous property needs TLC. Since she kept our entire damage deposit to fix an oven hinge we didn’t break, I’ve nothing to lose by writing an honest review. We vrbo often. We picked this vrbo for the pool & location. THE GOOD: roomy, comfy beds, nice pool & pool area, great city & mtn views, safe/quiet neighborhood, 2 turf pet areas, clean linens. THE BAD: Hazardous! Algae & black mold in pool, pool area fencing not to code (toddler & teen easily slipped btwn pool gate’s vertical rails), no underwater pool light (required by law), landscaping deliberately uses broken glass & pottery shards, hot oven door fell off on us upon first use, we killed several indoor cockroaches, broken furniture & cabinet glass, sliders don’t lock, security bulbs burnt out, kids' BR door locks but there's no key. If you worry about COVID-19, the house isn’t disinfected btwn stays (checkout: 10AM, checkin 3PM, cleaners don’t have time to mop floors let alone clean the entire 4200+ sq ft home). Generally really poor upkeep. Upon our arrival, dirty floors & filthy stair runners, piles of rodent poop in garage, tired couches/chairs, broken/greasy kitchen cabinets/cookware/dishes, dirty/cold pool we were promised would be heated upon arrival, “hot tub” is a kiddy pool w/o jets & shares pool H2O. When you pay for pool heat, the owner states she’ll heat the pool or kiddy pool, not both, & the heat’s on only in the am, then pool gets chilly. We vacuumed/swept pool daily by hand as the automated equipment was ineffective. Rooms have LOTS of personal items (clothes, collectables, knickknacks, vases, shells, etc.). Steep driveway (we had no issue navigating but it will scare the majority). Use the VRBO damage deposit option or the issues in the house prior to your arrival will be blamed on you if you ID them. There’s no way to go through the house to verify condition upon check in - there’s too much stuff, it’s too big to check quickly, & too much already damaged to note. We left this place in better condition than we found it. Owner seemed nice enough, but upon our reporting issues, became uncool, then unfair, then unresponsive. We reported existing issues that may seriously injure her next renters & were blamed for causing the issues. She's lucky we weren't hurt. Maintaining this big home is clearly overwhelming her, or she's flat ignoring current poor conditions. Go elsewhere unless you MUST have a pool - bring your own pool technician, medic, & mop.

Everything was as described and the property owner was very attentive and quick to respond. The master bedroom shower was a bit different, but just spend about 30 seconds with it and you're all good. Jacuzzi and pool were great. It was a nice and relaxing weekend for our family and a few of my kids' friends, with plenty to do and plenty of room for all.
