Having sold our large family home we were in wait mode for our new home build to be completed. John and Danielle were so gracious as we extended our stay plus moved to a larger casita to spread out a bit more. The casita (#6) had everything we needed. Two bedrooms, two baths, a full kitchen, dining room, and sizable comfortable living room. Our Dog Cooper enjoyed the freedom of the back yard plus nightly walks around the sizable property. While we didn't use the pool it looked inviting and had a nice cabana resort feel with lots of shade and lounges with curtains to divide sections for privacy. We will be recommending this lovely historical resort to all our friends. Check it out, it's a hidden gem but it won't stay hidden for long! Comfy beds with ample closet space in each room plus an overstuffed chair to relax in. Good lighting all throughout the home. Nearby activities ヘ Central to all Sabino Canyon activities as well as a trek up to Mount Lemon, not far to go for a fun outing downtown. Easy access to groceries, basically close to any/all shopping necessities Safety ヘ Ample lighting all through the resort. Locking security gate for after hours coded access only. We felt very safe while here in our casita. We even had a locking security screen door so we could grab the occasional evening breeze. Ample lighting all through the resort. Locking security gate for after hours coded access only. We felt very safe while here. Our casita even had a locking security screen door, too hot for us at the time to take advantage of a breeze but could see how nice it would be in the right season. Walkability Little too hot during our stay (july/aug) to venture outside the property on foot, but we enjoyed sunrise and sunset walks around the property pretty much daily. Food & drinks Beautiful setting. Trees in particular are absolutely stunning! Large grassy area for outdoor fun, lots of covered space for large events or family gatherings, nice walking paths, ample lighting and it appeared every casita had some level of personal yard space which is priceless when traveling with a pet or kids. Fun history on the welcome book to deepen the sensation of being part of the life the resort initially started with as one of Tucson's original ranches so many decades ago.

Im writing a review because I wanted to warn potential customers of what kind of people they may be…read moredealing with. I submitted inquiries for quotes for a few available units looking to stay for a month on the Desert Moon Vacation Rentals website. A one bedroom and a two bedroom as a solo guest. The one bedroom was very small and I saw a two bedroom that had more space also available so I inquired about both. I also asked a question on the website after, asking about mail and food deliveries saying "are we allowed to get mail or food delivered to the apartments?" By saying "we" I simply meant the entire complex and didnt think anything of the wording. I was never implying that as more than one guest. It was just a generalization. After asking that question I got an incredibly weird response back by the owners who seem to think its normal to accuse thier potential guests of hiding something or lying? They stated "your inquiry was for one person but say "we". If you have another person you need to add them to the quote. Please note we live on the property and have cameras so we will know whats going on at all times" - picture attachment. Ummm Yikes. SO unnecessary. Im well aware of the guest policy and know cameras are on the property. That is usually standard when renting airbnb or vacation rentals. The occupancy is for 2 people, so why would I lie about only having one guest? It makes no sense. No, I am not lying. No, I am not hiding another guest. Absolutely no need for you to over analyze everything and say that to me. Absolutely Ridiculous. I was instantly met with accusatory and rude responses from the property managers for absolutely no reason. I simply asked a question. It was extremely bizarre. They seem very odd and untrustworthy of their guests so much so, they accuse you of hiding or lying something right off the bat with no right to do so. Its extremely unprofessional to treat potential guests this way and its a complete deterrent. Why would I stay at a property that is so rude to me immediately? Not ok in the slightest, you have no right to treat people this way. I did nothing wrong! After reading through their reviews on airbnb, I can see this isn't the first time these ladies have been untrustworthy and accusatory toward guests. I screenshotted several reviews essentially dealing with similar experiences about how accusatory these women can be and how unnecessary they act. One lady had a picture of a dog in her profile picture and the owners proceeded to grill her about not allowing dogs in thier rental. She never intended to bring her dog on vacation with her but for some odd reason these ladies made the assumption she was trying to hide it simply because of her profile picture. That is not ok! Just over the top and extremely prying and odd behavior. People can travel without thier dogs and solo travelers can stay in two bedrooms if they choose. JEEZ. I understand if you have had issues in the past with untrustworthy guests sneaking people in but this type of behavior is unacceptable and SO unprofessional!!!! Its a huge red flag. Why be in the rental business and claim yourselves as professionals when you do not trust anyone you rent to and this is how you respond? I was beyond uncomfortable while exchanging emails inquiring about the property afterward and they continued to be very rude and dismissive toward me. Would not give me more information and was just very weird and unwelcoming. They are just mean people. It was so uncalled for. I eventually declined to stay here because I do not deserve to be treated this way whatsoever. I did not do anything and even tried to prove im trustworthy and telling the truth by offering references or letting them read my airbnb reviews to prove I travel solo. I did not have to explain myself but felt it necessary because of how they were treating me. I wanted them to feel comfortable and initially tried to understand why they were suspicious. I have no reason to lie as I have been traveling all year SOLO!!! They declined my offer and continued to be very rude and nasty to me and try to play it off as if they weren't. I was very nice and tried my best to remedy the situation and make it right but apparently that wasn't enough. They immediately did not trust me. So strange..... I would not recommend doing business with these ladies as they are unprofessional and nasty. Beware, they will over analyze everything you do and say. BIZARRE and beyond creepy. I have never had this type of experience when trying to rent a vacation rental before and this was the absolute worst type of behavior I have ever come across. This isnt the first time and wont be thier last. Just to clarify: I believe it was Maria that I was speaking to in email exchanges. Unfortunately, a very unpleasant lady to interact with.

The house is architecturally unique and interesting. That's where it ends…read more The furniture looks like it was all gathered from Goodwill in the 80's. The linens are unmatched, crummy, and old. Curtains are sheets hung on wire. Every cabinet door in the place is nearly falling off. There's a great bathtub in the master suite, but the ancient water heater doesn't have the capacity to even fill it with hot water. You're in very close proximity to the guest house and there's not a ton of privacy from them, as there are no curtains in the main living areas of the house and floor to ceiling windows. The cleaning fee is ASTRONOMICAL and gets you nothing. I loaded the dishes, stacked the linens near the washing machine, stripped beds, and took out all trash - things that SHOULD BE COVERED BY A CLEANING FEE - and was left a negative review for cleanliness. Carla is unprofessional and rude. There are a lot of excellent desert homes in the Tucson foothills area. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

I was re/searching property management companies for my first-ever rental property. I wanted…read moresomething local but also an agency that had longevity and, of course, good reputation/reviews. I recognized early that given the sheer impossibility of satisfying all tenants, or owners, no property mgmt company is going to have higher than a 4-star average. And then I came across R.A. with a solid 4+ star average. As I read through dozens and dozens of reviews (here and other platforms), there were a couple of managers themselves who stood out. One was Laina (who turns out to be a supervisor) and the other was Irene. My first inquiries (whether to retain them, what I need to know to be a good LL, and what to watch out for) were directed to Laina as I was preliminarily curious about their management style, prerequisites, and costs. I was especially concerned about the tenant vetting and application process. Laina was extraordinary - always easy to reach and never rushed me in my relentlessly probing questions. I was impressed by the guarantees and the no-commitment promise that RA stands by as well (that's confidence!). Once I had finally settled on RA to manage the house I had purchased I was fortunate to be assigned to Irene. She is meticulous, punctual, responsive, demanding, patient, persistent, and somehow still manages to accomplish all that with good nature. I wouldn't want anyone possessing less than every one of those standards to be responsible for supervising my home. She is also accessible by direct texting and email and has always responded within hours if not minutes. When I thought my house was ready to be listed Irene stopped by to lend her critical eye. I kid you not, she found 15-18 things that needed fixing, cleaning, removing, painting, or installing. And fair warning, many of those issues are deal-breakers for RA (refusing to publish my rental until they were fixed). However, their high operational standards translate into presentability. It took me, plus a hired handyman, almost 2 weeks working every evening and wknd to get the entire list finished... and it made a world of difference. It's remarkable what "you can live with" vs what is appropriately marketable. R.A. was running a summer retainer special of $599 that included all of the above and also professional photos for the listing - on par with the industry. The $99 flat fee/month for management was another selling point. There are a couple of companies that will manage for slightly less (e.g., $75/mo) and a couple that charge a flat 10% per month no matter how high the rental price is (which is ab$urd). RA's costs include two random inspections/year, the dreaded eviction scenario, and it places them between you and the tenant as the primary contact for all things - from complaints, to rent, to repairs. Once you've hired RA, you'll get a monthly newsletter and occasional articles about being a "landlord" and about market conditions in your metro area. They are loaded with helpful tidbits and illuminating graphics. Note: rent is typically due from the tenants on the first of the month but the transfer to your bank account will occur on the 10th or 11th of the month so digure how to float your mrtg payments accordingly. There is a bricks/mortar location just north of Campbell/Ft. Lowell and that was also important to me - to lend legitimacy to the company. It is modest, with basically a front desk and small office but it's staffed by a receptionist M-F from whom you can get sample documents and preliminary questions answered too. At the end of the day, property management is 30% fees/costs and 70% skilled diplomacy -- between owner/Mgmt and between tenant/Mgmt. You need to have those relationships working smoothly, precisely because of the inherent friction points that they so easily generate. In Laina and Irene RA's mgmt team does a tremendous job navigating each.
