Amazing Pool
Nice home, outside could have been cleaned up. Also, during our stay we had unannounced visits from the pool cleaner and pest control folks. Evolve apologized profusely for this. Problem with a faucet that was fixed promptly. Pool and immediate area clean and so enjoyable. Overall very nice stay.

Last minute cancellation
My family and I flew in for the U of A graduation. Upon landing (at 4pm) I received a message that our reservation had been canceled. I called the property management group who informed me it was to late in the day to find a replacement rental. Graduation weekend and no place to stay. I will never use VRBO again!!

Great Home Base in Tucson
Our extended family (ages 34-90) stayed here the last week of March. We loved the house. It's comfortable and nicely decorated. Plenty of space to either sit around together or find your own corner. Nice location in a quiet neighbor where you barely notice the surrounding homes. Beautiful views of the Catalina Mountains from the backyard (and dining room and sitting room). Sunset views from the front yard. Grocery stores and other necessities within 10 minutes. 20-50 minutes to major attractions - like state and national parks. The local manager (TurnKey Pros) were responsive to our questions. One negative - the backyard amenities no longer match the listing photos, which were taken when everything was new and pristine. The putting green, hammock area, and chiminea area needed weeding and attention. Didn't really bother us - the outdoor seating is fine and we enjoyed the sunshine and views - but needs attention. We would stay here again.

Great location, some improvements needed
The home has kitchy Southwest decor, but overall it could use some attention in the places where it goes from rustic decor to neglect. One place that was disappointing was the yard. The pictures of the yard in the VRBO post should be updated to reflect the current status of the front and back lawn. Weeds have overgrown everything, the pathways, the landscaping and even the putting green in the back. I live in AZ and we have had a lot of rain this year, but routine landscaping keeps the weeds under control. The other con for me was that a paper thin drape was the curtain in the master bedroom. This curtain is not shown in the VRBO photos. As a result, we woke with the dawn every morning, but not on purpose:( The bedroom across the hall is just as bright. If you are someone who can sleep through full sun or can sleep with eye covers, then it may not be a problem. In general, the house has a lot of potential, it is just showing its age in places and needs some updates. Here are the pros: - communication with the manager was quick and easy. - neighborhood is quiet and conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, hikes, etc. - the master bathroom is nice and has a nice rainshower

Excellent stay in Tuscon
Spent a month at this property. It's in an excellent location, close to shopping, restaurants and attractions. The neighborhood is quiet and a good place for walking. The house has nice outdoor spaces with good views of the desert. Lots of birds and wildlife are in the area. I will stay here again when visiting Tuscon.

Wonderful stay as we moved our Freshman daughter into college. Very comfortable home only 20-25 min from campus. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. The patio/pool area make the perfect spot to admire the gorgeous sunsets and occasional rainbow over the mountains. Kitchen is well stocked, beds are comfortable and we appreciate the ability to park in the garage. Thank you!!

Tranquil and secluded desert oasis
We fell in love with this listing as soon as we arrived.Set high in the desert foothills, the home felt like our private resort. The backyard is unbelievable— stunning mountain views, gorgeous natural desert beauty,an inviting pool, and best of all, glorious silence, except for the various bird songs we enjoyed. Inside, the house had a cute southwestern vibe, was immaculate and had a comfortable king mattress in the bedroom we used. Had everything we needed there, the only disappointment being a non working water filter. It was easy to check in, Wi-Fi access was simple, and we had no issues using our Netflix account. The location was perfect- we felt like we were out of civilization, yet in 2 minute we could be eating or shopping on Skyline Drive. I hope it won’t be too long before we can make another visit to this Tucson gem.

Beautiful Home in the Catalina Foothills
This is a beautiful home in the beautiful foothills of the Catalina Mountains. It's only a 5 minute drive to get to the trailheads of some popular hiking trails, and 5-10 minutes to stores and shopping and about 20 minutes to drive to Tucson proper. The house is gorgeous and the views from the home cannot be beat.

Wonderful visit
We truly enjoyed this property! We were a group of 5 (one senior, 2 adults, 2 small kids) and it was perfect for our needs. The inside of the house was a fun modern southwest theme and set up in a way to maximize the interior views. The backyard area with many zones for play and dining was perfect. Our toddler didn’t want to leave! We loved all the nature surrounding the property. We’re already talking about coming back!

Amazing Tucson Desert Moutain Home!
I brought my family out to Tucson to visit family and show them where I used to live. The home is really amazing in its location, its amenities and convenience. Check in was effortless and the home had everything we needed and more. The backyard has a great pool (unheated so spring/winter it's probably too cold) with a separate fence and gate. Outside the pool area, there is a small putting golf space and cornhole area so its possible to lock the pool and still let the littles out back to play. The entire backyard space has a perimeter wall and fence so its secure enough for littles to play. The pool has two seating areas and the overall backyard opens up to the base of the Catalina mountains. You have an amazing view of finger rock and table top moutain, stunning sunsets and sunrises. The house has three bedrooms, each with sun lights. Bedding and towels are pentiful and the washer/dryer also helped for the longer stay. The kitchen was helpful where we cooked several meals, even hosting a mini family reunion with room to spare indoors and out. Its noted this property is located in the Northwest quad of Tucson, in the "foothills". There are plenty of stores, groceries and gas stations in the area. The neighborhood is very quiet and residential . We walked it at night. I recommend this for a good base of operations but the view and amenities mean you're a solid 20 minute drive from downtown. IMO, its well worth it. I fully plan to use this home again next time we come out. Very, very impressed.
