Second annual visit to lovely property
For the second year in a row, enjoyed this extremely clean well stocked and nicely located property on the edge of a desert wash with a short hiking trail just a few feet away. secluded patio and veranda with sweeping views. We had hoped to stay a third year, but it was not available for our requested dates, sadly.

Short stay
The property was as advertised and was a very comfortable experience. The house was filled with everything you would need for a longer stay, just like home!
We totally enjoyed our stay. The house is bright, clean, nicely furnished, and has everything you need. I’m on crutches after foot surgery and was grateful that the master bathroom had a handicap friendly shower. We especially enjoyed sitting in the beautifully landscaped outdoor areas watching the birds. The open spaces behind and across from the house make this a primo location yet close to Green Valley shopping.

Great Getaway
We enjoyed our stay and the property -- it was very nice and secluded, with a lot of room for just the two of us! The location was ideal, and just a quick drive to several golf courses and Tubac. Would stay here again. Thank you!

Great location in Green Valley
We enjoyed our stay (our second Visit). This is roomy home with a well-equipped kitchen. Everything we needed was there. The bed was very comfortable and adjoining bathroom had a great shower. The patio had a beautiful view. The location is convenient to many attractions such as Madera Canyon and Tubac. We visited Canoa Ranch for great birding, and also enjoyed the beautiful Desert park in Green Valley.

Great place, and quiet neighborhood too.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. We were in the area on business, and it was nice to have a place of our own and not be in a motel. Hotel/motel situation in this area is lacking, at best, so vrbo is a good option. Nice patios and surrounding area. Nice to have a garage too. We appreciated not having carpet anywhere in the house. Everything we needed was there.

We were visiting family across the street. Wonderful location and fabulous views. After we locked ourselves out the first day Ken helped us get back in. Very quick response. Plenty of coffee and laundry detergent. HVAC system worked well. House is a bit dated but served our purpose for the stay.

Green Valley
Solid experience overall. Super clean. Beautiful backyard setting/views. clear and timely communication with the property owner. Easy instructions left inside for how to use TV, garage door, etc.
Only downside is that the property finishes (countertops, cabinetry, shower, fixtures, etc.) are very outdated. This would not hinder me from renting from this property again and in fact, the pictures online represent what you were getting so big.

perfect location!
I just love it here. It is my second time visiting Green Valley and staying at this property. It's peaceful and you can't beat the view! And it's a reasonable distance to many birding hot spots. And that is what we came for!!
