Locally Owned and Managed Vacation Homes You Can Trust

Also known as the ”City of Sunshine,” Tucson is set into a valley of southeastern Arizona with warm weather serving as a great escape from the cold. Plus, Arizona summers offer a dry heat in the vibrant desert. The Tucson metropolis is surrounded by small towns, each of which are symbols of the area’s rich western history. In addition to its rich culture and great historical significance, Tucson provides amazing desert vistas from just about anywhere, offering breathtaking hues in the evening as the sun sets.

Tucson vacation rentals are popular for travelers who desire a “home away from home,” where they can enjoy greater privacy and comfort than in a hotel or resort properties. Fully furnished condos, homes, and casitas come in all shapes and sizes. Some come with private patios, swimming pools, outdoor kitchens, and amazing desert views. Others are in the heart of the city, with nightlife, restaurants, shopping, and attractions within walking distance.

Vacation Rentals in Tucson

Welcome to Tucson!

Tucson is nestled in the heart of the Sonoran Desert. Here, amid saguaro cactus and adobe houses, the capital city welcomes guests with hiking, historic churches, canyons to explore, and so much more. Vacation rentals in the area are a perfect home base from which you can take tours to explore even more of Arizona.

More than 6.5 million people visit Tucson each year. As Arizona’s second-largest city, it is the perfect launching point for trips throughout the Southwestern United States and Mexico. With 350 or more days of sunshine and fun, unique events taking place throughout the year, it’s always a good time to visit. As a popular Americana rock song hints, “all roads lead back to Tucson.”

Tucson is surrounded by multiple mountain ranges, including the Santa Catalina Mountains. Maybe because its natural landscape in the Arizona Sonoran Desert allows for plenty of room to roam, you can explore its inviting environs without boundaries. These desert landscapes have always attracted free spirits, open thinkers, and those free at heart.

When venturing into the city, Tucson offers many vintage shops, restaurants and nightspots on Fourth Avenue near the bustling University of Arizona campus. Its extensive arts and culture scene lends to its authentic, unique personality. In addition, the meticulously-restored mansions of Tucson’s El Presidio Historic District and the adobe row houses of Barrio Historico reflect the city’s 19th-century roots. Tucson is truly awe – and art — inspiring. As author Barbara Kingsolver wrote, “Tucson had opened my eyes to the world and given me… a taste for the sensory extravagance of red-hot chilies and five-alarm sunsets.”
