Ocotillo Awesome
Great house and yard, and extremely responsive hosts. Especially good location if you plan to visit the East half of Saguaro National Park (or the other open spaces East of Tucson - Tanque Verde Falls is amazing when there's water in it). Had a little more street noise than we anticipated, but this was a minor issue. I've stayed in a lot of VRBOs and this is a great house with great hosts.

Fantastic home! Even better than the pictures !
Beautifully decorated home with tons of space! This home makes relaxing easy! We used the pool and hot tub multiple times a day. This home has everything you could possibly need. The guide they provide of the area was our key to finding the best food. Our kids didn’t want to leave!

Perfect House in the Perfect Location!
We had an absolutely perfect stay at the Ocotillo House. We are from the Seattle area and wanted to see actual sun and be in some warm weather and this place was ideal. The house is bigger than it seems in photos and really clean and well stocked. Everything you could think of was provided. The pool and spa and backyard were amazing. We spent most of our time out there. I really can't say enough about how great this place was. The owners are super responsive and I appreciated that. We'd love to come back here next year!

Midwest meets Ocotillo House
All visiting guests were from MN & OH, many who had not been to Tucson before this trip. The home made us feel welcome and comfortable right from the start. The owners were very helpful in making our vacation a brief but spectacular moment(s). We would definitely be willing to book again, if we get back to the Tucson area. Thanks to Matt & Clint for making their place available.

Family Fun
Beautiful desert property! We made good use of the heated pool/spa. Loved all the outdoor sitting nooks. The spacious back porch and open floor plan suited our crew of 6. We had such a good time together: there were comfortable spaces indoors and out, so togetherness and aloneness were equally possible. Hosts were always available and never intrusive! 😊 Thank you Matt and Clint

Beyond Expectation
Beautiful home, spacious, well decorated, well stocked, clean. The patio and pool deck are so relaxing. Beds are comfortable, roomy and lots of closet space. We were in Tucson for a lacrosse tournament, the whole family came and this home fit us well. The pool and spa were very relaxing. Any questions we had were addressed immediately and Matt always had the solution. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

Fantastic Stay at Ocotillo House!
We absolutely loved our stay! The house is so comfortable, we loved the layout. I actually enjoyed working in the office space. The master bath was pure luxury. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. More than enough pool towels, super comfortable patio and a pool we couldn’t get enough of. Beautiful sunsets every night. Love the location close to Saguaro NP East and 15 minutes to downtown. We hope to stay again soon. Matt and Clint are wonderful hosts and a pleasure to deal with! Thanks guys!!

Perfect Desert Oasis
Loved staying at the Ocotillo House! The house was well appointed and had lots of great spaces to relax. The backyard patio was wonderful for morning coffee and bird watching and the sunsets from the pool area were beautiful! Communication with the hosts could not have been better. We loved our “home away from home”.
