we experienced a fire and after investigation the authorities determined that it was a grease fire that was from residual grease almost instanlty after starting the propane grill and determined we were not at fault as we hadn’t even started any food yet only started it to get it prepared for a birthday bbq and it caught on fire one fire extinguisher only had a small amount of product come out and the second one didn’t work at all

Short Stay

Our family only had one night here. It was good, but pool was too cold probably too early into spring, and we were farther away from family than expected. The house was clean, kitchen was big, and decorations were nice.

Property is in need of TLC

Overall it was a fine stay. Property management was responsive and helpful. However, the property is in rough shape. Walls are dirty, paint is chipped, drywall is cracked, tiles are missing and damaged and the living room furniture is worn out. It’s clear the photos in the listing are from years ago and do not reflect the condition of the property in 2025.

Bodaciously Awesome Home

Beautifully appointed home in a quiet neighborhood with easy driving to Firetruck Brewing, movie theater, hospitals, and shopping. Home is spacious, incredibly clean, and so artsy. Lots of bedrooms and upscale bathrooms plus a huge well appointed kitchen, amazing game room, spacious living room, and a wonderful back yard with loads of seating, BBQ area, and a huge pool. We had our family Christmas get together here and it was so comfortable and upscale. Perfect for a honeymoon, family reunion, or just a stay in Tucson to explore the amazing sights of southern Arizona. Host communication was excellent too!

Spacious house in Tucson

My wife and I stayed with our daughter there before she moved into the dorms at U of A. The house was spacious, with plenty of space in the kitchen, dining area, living room, and bedrooms. The AC was great since it was over 100 degrees outside! The pool was warm and clean. Thank you to our host, Roman, for being responsive and helpful!

Cozy and Inviting

We got caught up in the CrowdStrike issues that plagued airline travel, causing us to arrive about eight hours later than planned. We were relieved to arrive to such a clean, well appointed home! Everything was as expected, and we especially enjoyed the use of the pool. Communication with the property managers was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon.

Short Reunion

We enjoyed our stay at the Lester House in Tucson. We had family from out-of-state, and from overseas that stopped by during our stay. The nice pool and playroom kept the children busy the entire time. We would gladly stay here again in the future. Convenient location to many shopping venues and leisure activities. Responsive manager to any requests and needs. Thank you very much for a memorable stay.

Paradise

We can’t say enough about Tanya and her hospitality - she made sure we had a pack ‘n play available for my daughter when we arrived and made check in/out a breeze (which with two small children was invaluable). Her property is immaculate and lovely, perfectly located and ideal for families visiting the Tucson area. The citrus trees and the pool were BIG hits with our kids as well. We will for sure stay again if we are in the area!

Beautiful house

This property is beautiful and we really enjoyed ourselves. We had an emergency situation and needed a place to stay pretty quick for a family of 5. We were able to book this house on short notice and it was completely ready for us. We enjoyed the screened in porch and the pool. There is beautiful artwork throughout the house. We were very comfortable and everything we needed was provided.

Beautiful home, great stay!

This house is beautiful and clean! The location was quiet and on a cul de sac so there wasn’t any traffic or noise. The beds were firm (which I prefer) and I slept like a log during our entire stay! The pillows were great as well! We were able to enjoy the pool and fire pit. The host was also very accommodating! Initially it was going to be just my husband and I staying at the house, and when our group size changed after booking it, she allowed us to add my brother and his wife without hesitation. Additionally, our flight got changed last minute, which had us arriving WAY earlier than planned. Tanya was super great and allowed us to check earlier than the normal time. I did have a question the day before we left that she never responded to, but I consider that a minor thing and overall I felt that she went out of her way to accommodate us and our requests. As a previous reviewer noted, the key lock box was tricky the first day but my husband figured it out. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this house to anyone.
