Comfortable getaway close to university campus

Terrific location, clear instructions from our host made it easy to get situated. The back patio and yard gave us a lovely setting to relax upon arrival. We were two sets of couples and the house was perfect to give us each privacy since the bedrooms are separated into two different wings. Clean, comfortable, great set-up. If we return to Tucson, we'll stay here again in a heart beat!

Perfect for our family of 5

My family of 5 (2 adults, 3 teens) stayed at Casa Reina for 3 nights as part of our tour of Arizona's National Parks. It was the perfect home base for us. The house is adorable and looks just like the pictures posted on VRBO. I especially loved all the local artwork throughout. The house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay, and the hosts even left some homemade snacks and cold beverages for our arrival. Beds were comfortable. I enjoyed early mornings on the back patio, sipping coffee and watching the F-16s from the local air force base fly overhead! The location is convenient, and easy to find. Just about a half hour from either side of Saguaro National Park. It is in an urban area, but we felt very safe here. If we were to return to Tucson, we would absolutely stay here again! Thank you for everything.

A perfect 'home base' for exploring Tucson!

Our family stayed at this sweet home over spring break and I would absolutely recommend it! The house was very clean and well stocked, and the location was convenient for us to visit everything that Tucson had to offer. 5 stars and we would certainly stay there again!

Great property

We selected this property for a weekend getaway. It is centrally located close to many restaurants and the campus. The snacks and cold drinks were an added bonus. Love that the bedrooms and bathrooms are separated on each side of the house allowing privacy when needed. Also the access to the backyard from each side. If you have kids or a pet watch for the small cactus growing in the backyard. We will definitely stay again if available when we are in Tucson.
