You can get in your recreation or relax. Located at the base of the Catalinas.

Remodeled June 2021. This home is located close to everything that Oro Valley has to offer. Very clean. Two bedroom and 1 3/4 bath. Washer and Dryer on premises. Master has Queen and full bed with on suite. A day bed that has separated to two twins. New, good mattresses on the 4 beds. Lots of extra pillows. New flooring, shower and bath. Access to BBQ, pool and jacuzzi. 5 minutes to Oro Valley Aquatic center, great children's park, many golf courses, tennis clubs and many hiking trails including Catalina State Park. Walking trails and great neighborhood. Bike trails close by with The Loop only minutes from home. Full kitchen with dishwasher. Lots of Restaurants both local and chains from Mexican, Italian, Thai, Whole Foods with tried and true recommendations in welcome book. There are many brochures to many attractions in Tucson and surrounding areas. There is a LA Fitness with day/month rates that you can walk to. Also a Planet Fitness 2 mile drive. We just realized that we should forewarn travelers to bring inside shoes/slippers. It’s a no shoe house. There is fresh blacktop outside the carport and it causes a black mess.

The townhouse will be cleaned thoroughly. Including all the towels and sheets have been washed in hot water and lots of soap. I have cleaned all the furniture and all surfaces extra well. There is a silver spray bottle with Mr. Clean solution under the kitchen sink if you feel like you need to clean anything that “just doesn’t seem clean enough”. We have tested cleaners extensively to find one that cleans, disinfects and doesn’t ruin the surfaces of the newly remodeled house. Do not use anything else.

As Described in Great Location
The townhouse is as described in a great area with all amenities easily accessible. The townhouse is well-stocked, and has a vast library, including Arizona history books and photos. Five stars are not enough to rate this place! Additionally, the host was easy to reach and responded quickly.

Cozy and Clean
This townhouse is very spacious and clean. I call it cozy because unlike a hotel stay, there are so many books to look at or read. Lovely seating options and an Arizona room. It was only me and my friend, but a family of 4 would have no trouble being comfortable here.

Perfect stop for a few days.
Great location & comfortable, made it easy to accomplish a lot of Tucson tasks & travels. We now have a place in Oro Valley as a result of this trip so that would be the only reason we wouldn't return.

3 day stay in January
Townhome was as advertised. Happy with the cleanliness, and they provided what we needed for our stay. Didn’t use the pool. One issue for me, but might not be for others, was the foam in the mattresses and pillows. I get excessively hot from foam.

Top Notch
This is a great VRBO. The location is perfect. It is out of the major hub of the traffic/stop lights in the city. Any shopping you need to do this location is the best. Malls galore with easy access and wide open spaces. Beautiful view of the mountains and peaceful. We truly enjoyed our relaxing stay at Sunnyslope. This was the best furnished VRBO we have ever stayed in. Our Host (Michelle) was quick to reply to any questions. She was great and we appreciated her assistance. First Class all the way. Would stay there again without hesitation.

Lovely sunset view and very comfortable townhouse
We loved the decor and comfortable furniture, and covered parking. We spent the Christmas holiday at the townhouse, cooked meals and particularly enjoyed the string of white lights on the porch that made it festive. Great library of books, nice tv which we don't usually watch but due to the pandemic we were more homebodies than usual. The townhouse had been redecorated and the master shower was especially nice as were the comfy beds. The neighborhood provided a short, safe walk and the place was close to Trader Joe's, hiking trails and had great views of the mountains. We would stay there again.

Very nice stay
The home was spotlessly clean, which is important to me. Because of the way it is built it doesn't have a lot of natural light, but the owners have put many lamps around. The beds and pillows were so comfortable! The kitchen is very well equipped. I messaged Michelle several times about little items and she always returned my messages promptly. I saw a reviewer said it was noisy but we didn't think so at all. I thought it was very quiet.

Functional basic place
If you're looking to put 8 people into one place, this is a reasonable place. If you're looking for a quiet place to retreat and relax, I didn't find it to meet my needs. We also had people from the neighborhood demanding to know how we rented the place. It's completely functional, but not pleasant. Positives: Clean, everything you need in the kitchen, nice library, sleeps 8, everything works; host was responsive. Negatives: Quite dark inside; noise from Oracle Rd; Fixtures and furniture are quite dated (think rusty, paint spotted, fixtures from the 70s in many cases); two full/double beds in the master bedroom made it feel like a bunk house rather than a retreat.

Loved Our Time at This Oro Valley Property!
Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Check in was great. Property owner Michelle was quick to reply to any questions we had. We appreciated her assistance with sightseeing suggestions (property has brochures with information on local sites and eateries). Close to great bike trails along the river (short drive from property to trailhead parking lot). Property as described on website. Well stocked, comfortable furniture accommodating people 5’8” and 6’3” tall. Newer, clean washer and dryer which I greatly appreciated! Most comfortable beds we’ve ever had at a VRBO. My husband said internet speeds were great…no problems whatsoever (internet speed repeatedly tested at 50Mb or better). Our subscription services worked very well on their TV. Very centrally located to a variety of grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants. We stayed about 6 weeks mid-Dec to late Jan 2024. Wonderful artwork and a large selection of books to read! We would stay again!

Comfortable and Relaxing Stay
My family of four had a wonderful stay! The townhome is so clean, in a beautiful and safe neighborhood and the house was fully stocked. Everything we needed was in there including cooking oil, Brita water filter (we used it and also purchased a few gallons of drinking water), butter, spices, extra water bottles etc. Great selection of books, good WiFi and really comfortable beds and pillows! I liked that there were four beds which made my girls sleep comfortably. I highly recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a comfortable place so close to the mountains.

Great Location!
Pros: The location is convenient to Oro Valley and Tucson, lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. The house is is equipped with everything you need for a short term or longer term stay. Nice newer washer/dryer. Nicely updated bathrooms. Nice hardwood looking tile flooring - no carpet. :) Con's: Lot's of House Rules...Upon arriving, owner wanted me to confirm that I read all of the rules. Upon reviewing them I discovered that the A/C thermostat was locked at 75 degrees, meaning it won't go below 75 degrees in the Summer. I didn't tell my husband right away as I knew that he wouldn't want to stay and once you arrive...it's really hard to find other lodging at the last minute. I was hoping that he wouldn't notice but he figured it out once we got hot and he couldn't get the A/C to go any lower...I had to finally confess. He said that this place is a "No Go" for our future visits to the area. The internet was also a problem...it works but the speed test was only 4 megabytes, so it's something to consider if you need to do any zoom meetings or work from home while on vacation. The TV is older so it doesn't have any apps on it so we had to use our laptop to watch Netflix and other streaming apps. The rulebook said that there was supposed to be an HDMI cable in the right drawer under the TV, but when we looked it wasn't anywhere to be found. Luckily, we had one of our own...if this is important to you - make sure to bring one. The road noise on Oracle is pretty loud when you have the doors open in the evening while trying to cool the place down. All in all the property was okay considering the price. If you are looking for a reasonable place to stay in a nice, safe location and don't mind the A/C lockout situation and older TV -- you will be just fine.
