Family-friendly holiday rentals in Tucson

Christie’s place was just as advertised. Lovely and clean. There were only 2 of us this trip but there’s lots of room. The house has everything. Lotions, sunscreen, condiments galore. We want to stay here our next trip and have a larger group. A great stay.

Beautiful condo and views. Had everything i needed for a week-long stay. Very quiet and peaceful place. The house has a great AC and the complex pool came un perfect for the hot days. Close enough to everything I needed to do and go. But very peaceful !!! Ronald was very helpful i would stay here again in the future .

Great location in a beautiful area of Tucson. Property is furnished in a professional manner. Quality and comfort. Thanks Marcelo!

One of the best stays I’ve ever had! Beautiful place/location, very relaxing and clean! Hosts are extremely kind and helpful! The price was very reasonable for what you get, lots of local recommendations from the hosts, and even in the guest house there was plenty of privacy! Couldn’t ask for a better stay!

Came back again because it was such a wonderful experience the first time. As best I can describe it, it is like staying at the place of a beloved aunt who isn’t home- all the advantages and comforts of a house that someone lives in, with all the cleanliness and comfort of a house that isn’t. A fully stocked kitchen and a home with all the pieces of life you may need. Exceptional. Will be back. (Loved the mattress so much I took a picture so I could have the info).

We absolutely love this property! It’s our second time staying at the Quail Adobe and we always look at this property to see if it’s available. We came for the UofA graduation and love how close it is to campus. Being able to go back and forth on this trip was a priority and it’s the perfect distance away. The hot tub at the end of the long day of graduation activities was perfect! As soon as you walk into this property it feels like home. The wine, chocolates and fresh fruit really shows how much the host wants you to feel at home. I would recommend the Quail Adobe to anyone coming to Tucson.

Excellent all around! Out of all the airbnbs we have stayed at this one had the biggest tv! Our family should possibly have better standards than that when rating places to stay. Very spacious and no issues at all. Comfy beds and though Tucson was hot the house was perfectly cool.

We travelled 5000 miles from the UK to stay here and found it an absolutely marvellous place. It was very spacious, exceeding our expectations ( especially the master suite) with excellent leisure facilities. The outside, with views across Tucson, was terrific, our own mini resort with pool and spa. The landscaping at the front is lovely. We all made friends with the fish which is a nice touch. Importantly it was peaceful and felt private and very safe. Also impressed with the sizes and access to the double garage Communication with Magic was first class being very responsive and friendly. All in all staying created a very special week for us all. If we ever return to Tucson, we would hope to stay here again.

Sally's place was lovely -private and peaceful. Would love to return one day. Sally was a great communicator too.

The pool area was the star of the show and felt very private since it was surrounded on all sides by tall fences blocking neighbors completely. There was plenty of seating, shade from an umbrella and covered patio. The sound of the waterfall and green trees made it very peaceful. There were plenty of pool floats including electric air pumps which made the water even more enjoyable. The home felt lived in containing all the creature comforts with well thought out extras like ceiling fans, night lights, toiletries, room darkening curtains. The temperature was very comfortable inside despite the high heat outdoors. The kitchen was very well stocked with high end cookware and dishes, a filtered water pitcher, automatic ice maker, spices and cooking oils. I would stay here again and highly recommend it to friends visiting Tucson.

Shannon was an excellent host! Very communicative and the location made for a relaxing evening for me and my girlfriends while we were driving to southern Arizona!

This cozy unit was perfect for me and my kiddo on our spring break getaway. We loved the saltwater pool, the views, and the quiet neighborhood. My son especially loved watching the quail families! Teresa was very hospitable and even showed me the herbs she was growing around her house - something that I especially loved as a fellow gardener. We would definitely visit again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Darby's upper cabin. It is at the very end of a curvy road and so feels quite secluded, surrounded by lovely pine trees. There is a walking path a few hundred yards from the foot of the driveway. The porch (there are 2) by the entrance looks that way so all you see is forest and the occasional parked car for the trail. The cabin is cozy and rustic; somewhere you can relax and feel at home. The skylights over the bed allow you to see the stars before you sleep and provide lovely warmth in the daytime. The bed linens had a nice feel and there are masses of blankets and extra pillows. The kitchen is fully functional and stocked with all necessary kitchen implements. The couch is comfy. The windows can be opened to provide a lovely breeze throughout the entire cabin. Darby's instructions were perfectly clear. You can walk (downhill slightly) to the main street of Summerhaven and drive to the ski lift. We would definitely stay here again!

I loved Max’s place! Amazing quiet neighborhood especially with the university on summer vacation. The property was clean and very homey. Any issues I had Max was responsive, helpful, and made things right. I would stay in one of his properties again and absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for a clean, peaceful spot.

Lisa’s place was spacious and adorable. The backyard was large and a lovely space to relax and enjoy coffee or a glass of wine. Short walk to campus so really convenient for U of A visits, events, etc. Would highly recommend!

Great location, right next to the University of Arizona campus. It was easy to walk anywhere you needed to go. Fantastic host and very responsive.

Amazing stay! The place is a little oasis in Tucson! Close to everything and peaceful when we got back to relax. Loved the pool! And, pet friendly!

I stayed here for three months in the summer. This unit is part of a an apartment complex and probably one of the best units of the complex, with regards to the city views from the front and the mountain views from the back. I enjoyed watching the monsoon thunderstorms build over the Catalinas before unleashing a torrent on the stoic saguaros. the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, although I was there in summer which in Tucson is considered the off-season. Access to the Ventura canyon trail is a few steps away, literally. Sabino Canyon is a quick drive away. Major grocery store is perhaps a mile or so away. Food delivery is available, and there were long periods when I didn't use my car. Lore was prompt and responsive and willing to go above and beyond with local recommendations. My only suggestion for improvement is perhaps having an actual office chair for a work environment. Otherwise it was a perfect place to stay and one where I regretted having to leave.

We really loved our stay at the Casita! The setting is just beautiful, surrounded by mountains and cacti, and the property is peaceful and private. However, we were just a mile or two from the grocery store and great restaurants too! It was the perfect home base for all the hiking we did, and the Casita itself was spacious, clean, and well stocked with everything we needed. Ken was incredibly kind and helpful, and he made us feel right at home. We were really sad to leave and can't recommend this place enough!

If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway in the Tucson area, I highly recommend you stay at Shelly’s place. The house is in an award-winning eco-development community called Civano about 15 miles southeast of downtown Tucson and only a ten minute drive from Saguaro National Park. The pictures capture it pretty well, but don’t really do justice to the beauty of the surroundings. Out back, beyond the family of Quail that are forever feasting on big seed blocks on the wall, you’ve got a direct panoramic view of Rincón Mountain and, to the east, of Mount Lemmon. In the yard, a fountain provides water for visiting birds, butterflies, and even a peaceful bobcat (yes, I saw it one morning! It walked right past me only about eight feet away, took a sip at the fountain, then jumped up and over the wall. Wow!) The hosts are good people—kind, thoughtful and attentive, but unobtrusive. I enjoyed my stay very much and am sure you will as well. Highly recommended.

Overall our stay was really great. We paid to have the pool heated and it was very warm; the kids loved it and swam every day. Lots of room for all of us (7) in the house. Location was easy to get to and backs onto a park where you can head out for a walk. There were lots of towels including pool towels. We had a bit of an issue when we first arrived but I phoned Shannon and she was able to change the door code remotely so we could get in. We would definitely stay at Shannon’s place again.

The home was clean, comfortable and felt like home. The neighborhood was welcoming and the location was excellent.

This Airbnb was a retreat, a home spa, and an amazing house in beautiful surroundings all rolled into one. Carella had addressed every detail to make our stay comfortable, and luxurious - down to filling the bird feeders so we could sit on the back patio and enjoy the birds. Were it not for interesting local activities, we would have been at the house our entire stay. I highly recommend Carella's home for friends and family vacationing in the Tucson area.

We have stayed at Dario’s place a couple times now and had no issues. Thoroughly enjoyed the space both times. Thank you Dario! Patrick Lee.
