The views were the highlight of our stay. The home is large with so many areas to sit and relax. The kitchen had excellent appliances and we were able to feel comfortable cooking. I did feel that we were staying in someone’s home who is returning soon as there was a lot of personal “stuff”. We would definitely return.

Spectacular Oasis
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!

Amazing House! Equally Amazing views!
This house was perfect for our recent stay. The custom house is filled with unique furniture and antiques. The house has anything you need for cooking in a spacious kitchen with top end appliances. What sold us on this property was the absolutely amazing views. Perched atop a high hill, this house has a breathtaking panorama of the city below. The sprawling city landscape stretches as far as the eye can see below, with saguaro cacti dotting the horizon, and around the property. There is nothing like enjoying the spa in the evening with the lights of the city below. The house is very relaxing and above the bustle of the city below and private. Owls and doves are heard at night, and it’s very quiet. The owner is super easy to work with and showed kindness for a few requests we made. Easy check in and check out process, loved that also. If you want a unique vacation close to many hiking places with plenty of room for a family or similar get-togethers, look no further!

A month
We had a fantastic month at this wonderful home. It had everything we needed and very well stocked- spices, shampoo, soap, dish soap TP, paper towels. The list goes on and on. But most important was the extremely timely response of the owner. A text and she responded sometimes within minutes. My only small complaint was the TV access. We are older and not very adept at digital. Every room in the house had a flat screen TV with a Fire Stick. We have cable so no access to streaming so we had to sign up for a streaming service to watch live tv. It would have been nice to have that included. I highly recommend this house. It was wonderful for the month

Holiday get away
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.

Will never forget this magnificent, mysterious home.
You would be wise to appreciate the history of what lies within these walls. What are you here for? A relaxing escape from the day to day? An adventure in the mountains? A celebratory occasion? A mournful reason? Whatever it is, be aware of your blessings. Be present. Be grateful. And most of all, be respectful of all that may surround you here. It could be more than meets the eye, if you allow. It was an honor. Would return in a heartbeat.

Baseball Getaway
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!

Very Clean, Great views and lots of room to spread out!
We had a great experience staying here. We had two families and my mom with us. There was more than enough spots to spread out and not feel on top of each other. Several secluded decks with great views from outside. Host was very friendly and helpful when we had an issue with hot tub turning off. She was also VERY accommodating when we wanted the times the tub was on switched. The kitchen had everything we needed and Host was only a text away if I couldn’t find something. There was a huge dining room table that we all could eat at as a family. My only “negative” would be there wasn’t a good place to sit inside and see the views. It was pretty chilly the days we were there. It would have been nice to curl up with a cup of coffee and see the views. And What AMAZING views they are!!! I would definitely stay here again. The gated community and cleanliness were wonderful amenities. My kids want me to add that they have fun toys too. I felt like I was a celebrity with how amazing this place was!

Review of 8 Friends in July
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.

Dirty home and a roach infestation
When we checked in, the home was not clean. There was a dirty beach towel on the balcony along with a half drank capri sun pouch, and a water bottle and beer can that were both full of cigarette butts. In one of the downstairs bedrooms there was an eaten apple core left on the nightstand. In the kitchen on a table full of travel magazines, there was a bathing suit plastic crotch liner stuck to the top magazine. The house is incredibly cluttered. There are photographs, greeting cards, perfumes on counters, clothes in closets... Personal items everywhere. You get the sense the owners just departed the home minutes before your arrival. As if that isn't bad enough, the home is full of coackroaches. After coming home one evening and turning on the lights in the kitchen, they scattered all over the counter. I immediately emailed the owner. Her response was that she was aware of the roach issue, has had an exterminator out to no avail, and went on to explain that due to a miss-fitting sewer manhole cover at the top of the driveway, the roaches are entering her home through drains and that she needs to contact the city of Tucson to take care of the problem. As if I care why she has roaches! She offered me a discount on a future stay. For the rate we paid per night, I expect a clean, roach-free home this stay, not a discount on a future stay. I requested a discounted rate on this stay to which Caryl never responded. If you're considering renting this home, consider yourself warned!

Bad condition - Excellent views
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.

Excellent!
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.
