The space
Located in the historic neighborhood of Catalina Vista, our house provides a relaxing and private retreat from busy life yet is in the heart of Tucson, close to the U of A and downtown. It’s nestled in a beautiful desert landscape with a large outdoor space and patio, perfect for lounging by the pool or stargazing at night.
The main house surrounds the private courtyard and large windows flood the interior with natural light. Designed with guests in mind, it's the perfect place for families or friends. Most bedrooms include ceiling fans and the entire home is equipped with central AC. Our fully appointed kitchen has everything you need to make meals at home or brew a cup of coffee or tea first thing in the morning. All bathrooms have fresh, fluffy towels and sustainable bath products. Two cozy living rooms look out to the central courtyard, pool and hot tub; one with a smart TV with streaming services.
Bedroom #1 is located in the main house at the end of the hallway off the family room. It has a king bed and additional seating for relaxing or reading. The en-suite bathroom features a private toilet room, double vanities, freestanding tub and shower, and walk-in closet with iron and ironing board.
Bedroom #2 is located in the main house off the family room. It has a king bed, vintage dresser and chairs, with a floor-to-ceiling view of the outdoor patio. The en-suite bathroom has a shower and tub combo and large vanity with pink velvet pouf for getting ready.
Bedroom #3 is located in the main house off the front entry hallway. It has two twin beds, vintage dresser, and accessories. The closet houses kids toys and books available for use during your stay. The en-suite bathroom features a walk-in shower and double vanity.

A twin over full bunk bed provides an additional private sleeping space perfect for kids or teens.

The outdoor space is designed for effortless enjoyment of the pool, hot tub, and Arizona sunshine, featuring a gas grill, chiminea and pool floaties for elevated outdoor living. Thoughtfully crafted architecture creates an inviting balance of shaded areas for alfresco dining and sun-drenched lounge spaces for relaxing in style.

Neighborhood highlights
Catalina Vista is a quaint historic neighborhood located in midtown Tucson, close to the University of Arizona, University Medical Center, the Tucson Streetcar line, The Arizona Inn, and downtown. Catalina Vista is near Blenman-Elm neighborhood, bordered by Campbell Ave., Elm St., Tucson Blvd., and Grant Rd.
It was first developed in 1940, although most homes in the neighborhood were built post-war. What makes this neighborhood distinctive is its curvilinear, palm tree lined streets; the wide, shallow lots; and the open spaces and parks found there. The neighborhood is made up primarily of ranch style homes and mid-century gems.
