A HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Casa Reina is an absolute jewel! Well appointed, spotless, with its historical charm it will capture your heart as soon as you open the front gate. The house is spacious and has a wonderful private backyard where you can relax while observing the hummingbird coming in for some nectar. The host is superb, we found homemade cookies, a well stocked fridge and a welcoming handwritten note. The hosts were prompt in replying to to our messages and everything worked out like a charm. The location is central to everything, shopping, the UofA, Tucson Sonora Desert Museum, Downtown (including the superb Gem and Mineral Museum hosted in the historical Court House), restaurants… The neighborhood is safe and quiet. Don’t miss out, make this place yours for a while.

Comfortable getaway close to university campus
Terrific location, clear instructions from our host made it easy to get situated. The back patio and yard gave us a lovely setting to relax upon arrival. We were two sets of couples and the house was perfect to give us each privacy since the bedrooms are separated into two different wings. Clean, comfortable, great set-up. If we return to Tucson, we'll stay here again in a heart beat!

Perfect for our family of 5
My family of 5 (2 adults, 3 teens) stayed at Casa Reina for 3 nights as part of our tour of Arizona's National Parks. It was the perfect home base for us. The house is adorable and looks just like the pictures posted on VRBO. I especially loved all the local artwork throughout. The house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay, and the hosts even left some homemade snacks and cold beverages for our arrival. Beds were comfortable. I enjoyed early mornings on the back patio, sipping coffee and watching the F-16s from the local air force base fly overhead! The location is convenient, and easy to find. Just about a half hour from either side of Saguaro National Park. It is in an urban area, but we felt very safe here. If we were to return to Tucson, we would absolutely stay here again! Thank you for everything.

A perfect 'home base' for exploring Tucson!
Our family stayed at this sweet home over spring break and I would absolutely recommend it! The house was very clean and well stocked, and the location was convenient for us to visit everything that Tucson had to offer. 5 stars and we would certainly stay there again!

Great property
We selected this property for a weekend getaway. It is centrally located close to many restaurants and the campus. The snacks and cold drinks were an added bonus. Love that the bedrooms and bathrooms are separated on each side of the house allowing privacy when needed. Also the access to the backyard from each side. If you have kids or a pet watch for the small cactus growing in the backyard. We will definitely stay again if available when we are in Tucson.

I could live here
Great place for 2 couples. We each had our own side of the house. The treats left for us upon arrival were well appreciated and delicious. We have stayed in many VRBOs, this home and host are tops. The feel, the esthetics, the cleanliness made a super comfortable home away from home. We won’t look anywhere else when in Tucson

2 years in a row, this is now my go to place in Tucson
Everything is just fabulous. The house is lovingly decorated with local art and so comfortable. The layout is great for friends, families, or two couples. I always look for good outdoors space too and this property is wonderful with outdoors space from both bedrooms. Ann brought baked cookies over one day to add to chips/salsa and basics for cooking provided. I will be back for sure!

Casa Reina is a Gem
Great location for navigating around Tucson. Charming decoration and furnishings, well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and bedrooms. Attractive back patio area and secure parking with walled garden. A great place to come home to after a day of sightseeing. Owners were accommodating and informative with good recommendations for dining and attractions. We hope Casa Reina is available again for our next visit. Alan and Mary
