You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

You can get in your recreation or relax. Located at the base of the Catalinas.

Remodeled June 2021. This home is located close to everything that Oro Valley has to offer. Very clean. Two bedroom and 1 3/4 bath. Washer and Dryer on premises. Master has Queen and full bed with on suite. A day bed that has separated to two twins. New, good mattresses on the 4 beds. Lots of extra pillows. New flooring, shower and bath. Access to BBQ, pool and jacuzzi. 5 minutes to Oro Valley Aquatic center, great children's park, many golf courses, tennis clubs and many hiking trails including Catalina State Park. Walking trails and great neighborhood. Bike trails close by with The Loop only minutes from home. Full kitchen with dishwasher. Lots of Restaurants both local and chains from Mexican, Italian, Thai, Whole Foods with tried and true recommendations in welcome book. There are many brochures to many attractions in Tucson and surrounding areas. There is a LA Fitness with day/month rates that you can walk to. Also a Planet Fitness 2 mile drive. We just realized that we should forewarn travelers to bring inside shoes/slippers. It’s a no shoe house. There is fresh blacktop outside the carport and it causes a black mess.

The townhouse will be cleaned thoroughly. Including all the towels and sheets have been washed in hot water and lots of soap. I have cleaned all the furniture and all surfaces extra well. There is a silver spray bottle with Mr. Clean solution under the kitchen sink if you feel like you need to clean anything that “just doesn’t seem clean enough”. We have tested cleaners extensively to find one that cleans, disinfects and doesn’t ruin the surfaces of the newly remodeled house. Do not use anything else.

Perfect Oro Valley Rental

The instructions for finding the rental were perfect. The rental was clean, comfortable, and a perfect end to a long traveling day. We were able to hike at Catalina State Park - a short distance away. The owners were very quick to respond when we had a question. Would definitely recommend this rental to anyone!

Lovely stay in Oro Valley

Michelle and Dan are terrific hosts. The communication and check in were seamless. The beds were very comfortable, the place was immaculate. The townhome is conveniently located in Oro Valley, close to shoppes and great restaurants. I was concerned there might be traffic noise, but we were able to sleep with the windows open without any issues. We would stay again.

Great location & comfortable, made it easy to accomplish a lot of Tucson tasks & travels. We now have a place in Oro Valley as a result of this trip so that would be the only reason we wouldn't return.

Memorial in Tucson

Immaculate! Cozy! Well stocked! We felt right at home. The townhouse has two entrances which makes it super easy to bring suitcases into the bedrooms and the other entrance convenient to the kitchen. Ceiling fans plus good AC kept the home cool as the temperatures were over 100 degrees. The carport was tall enough to accommodate our tall truck. Lots of birds singing in the morning made it feel like home! And Michelle, our host was very helpful with questions I had! I would stay there again if I was in Tucson.

As Described in Great Location

The townhouse is as described in a great area with all amenities easily accessible. The townhouse is well-stocked, and has a vast library, including Arizona history books and photos. Five stars are not enough to rate this place! Additionally, the host was easy to reach and responded quickly.

U of Arizona Family Weekend trip

We were in Tucson to visit our son, who's a student at the UA, and the condo was a perfect place for us to come home to each evening. It's clean, well-kept, and the owners were very responsive to our questions. Highly recommend!

Comfortable and Relaxing Stay

My family of four had a wonderful stay! The townhome is so clean, in a beautiful and safe neighborhood and the house was fully stocked. Everything we needed was in there including cooking oil, Brita water filter (we used it and also purchased a few gallons of drinking water), butter, spices, extra water bottles etc. Great selection of books, good WiFi and really comfortable beds and pillows! I liked that there were four beds which made my girls sleep comfortably. I highly recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a comfortable place so close to the mountains.

Cozy and Clean

This townhouse is very spacious and clean. I call it cozy because unlike a hotel stay, there are so many books to look at or read. Lovely seating options and an Arizona room. It was only me and my friend, but a family of 4 would have no trouble being comfortable here.

3 day stay in January

Townhome was as advertised. Happy with the cleanliness, and they provided what we needed for our stay. Didn’t use the pool. One issue for me, but might not be for others, was the foam in the mattresses and pillows. I get excessively hot from foam.

Top Notch

This is a great VRBO. The location is perfect. It is out of the major hub of the traffic/stop lights in the city. Any shopping you need to do this location is the best. Malls galore with easy access and wide open spaces. Beautiful view of the mountains and peaceful. We truly enjoyed our relaxing stay at Sunnyslope. This was the best furnished VRBO we have ever stayed in. Our Host (Michelle) was quick to reply to any questions. She was great and we appreciated her assistance. First Class all the way. Would stay there again without hesitation.

Lovely sunset view and very comfortable townhouse

We loved the decor and comfortable furniture, and covered parking. We spent the Christmas holiday at the townhouse, cooked meals and particularly enjoyed the string of white lights on the porch that made it festive. Great library of books, nice tv which we don't usually watch but due to the pandemic we were more homebodies than usual. The townhouse had been redecorated and the master shower was especially nice as were the comfy beds. The neighborhood provided a short, safe walk and the place was close to Trader Joe's, hiking trails and had great views of the mountains. We would stay there again.

Very nice stay

The home was spotlessly clean, which is important to me. Because of the way it is built it doesn't have a lot of natural light, but the owners have put many lamps around. The beds and pillows were so comfortable! The kitchen is very well equipped. I messaged Michelle several times about little items and she always returned my messages promptly. I saw a reviewer said it was noisy but we didn't think so at all. I thought it was very quiet.

Functional basic place

If you're looking to put 8 people into one place, this is a reasonable place. If you're looking for a quiet place to retreat and relax, I didn't find it to meet my needs. We also had people from the neighborhood demanding to know how we rented the place. It's completely functional, but not pleasant. Positives: Clean, everything you need in the kitchen, nice library, sleeps 8, everything works; host was responsive. Negatives: Quite dark inside; noise from Oracle Rd; Fixtures and furniture are quite dated (think rusty, paint spotted, fixtures from the 70s in many cases); two full/double beds in the master bedroom made it feel like a bunk house rather than a retreat.

Loved Our Time at This Oro Valley Property!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Check in was great. Property owner Michelle was quick to reply to any questions we had. We appreciated her assistance with sightseeing suggestions (property has brochures with information on local sites and eateries). Close to great bike trails along the river (short drive from property to trailhead parking lot). Property as described on website. Well stocked, comfortable furniture accommodating people 5’8” and 6’3” tall. Newer, clean washer and dryer which I greatly appreciated! Most comfortable beds we’ve ever had at a VRBO. My husband said internet speeds were great…no problems whatsoever (internet speed repeatedly tested at 50Mb or better). Our subscription services worked very well on their TV. Very centrally located to a variety of grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants. We stayed about 6 weeks mid-Dec to late Jan 2024. Wonderful artwork and a large selection of books to read! We would stay again!
