Our place is a tastefully appointed 1250 square foot, two bedroom, two-bathroom unit. It sleeps up to six people. It's on the second floor and very secure.

Equipment includes a DVD, sound system, two TV’s, and a fully outfitted kitchen.

From the deck (we're on the second floor) you look out on the spectacular Santa Catalina mountains on your left, and the landscaped inner courtyard, swimming pool, hot tub and putting green on your right.

The neighborhood is on a rise overlooking Tucson. It’s skirted by winding gulches where the desert has been allowed to remain in its natural state. (There are lovely, extensive hiking trails within walking distance. One of them follows a dry wash miles out into the desert past petroglyphs and a spectacular canyon).

You’re a short drive to the shopping, entertainment and urban pleasures of Tucson. Mexico is an hour away. You’re 3,000 feet above sea level so you’ll enjoy cool evenings and brilliant sunshiny days.
