4 days and 3 nites in n.e. Tucson

Very nice inside, but very dark outside. No street lights, no Malibu lites, just a dim carport lite, which made checking in at nite dicey. Remodeled nicely, very spacious and open, beds comfy, appliances were newish. Two of our party were in 80's two in 70's, they wished for grab-bars in bath areas. Though coat hangers in closet had built-in hooks, I wanted actual hooks in closets. Only thing lacking in kitchen was meat thermometer , we cooked a big ham. All told, a good time, and a fitting place to stay at.

Our Favorite Tucson Stay!

We have been coming to Tucson for the past several years and this is the one VRBO rental that we have come back to. Renee's home is scrupulously clean, nicely remodeled, and exceptionally comfortable - including the living room furniture (which is not always the case at all VRBO rentals). It is also dog friendly and the large fenced-in back yard is great for our 45-pound labradoodle to explore - no cacti to worry about. The location is close to lots of restaurants and grocery shopping, but it's far enough away from the denser development and traffic of other northside Tucson areas. Renee lives close by and is very responsive to any questions or requests. Highly recommend!

Perfect home for our stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The huge island and large dining room table provided ample space for eating or just hanging out. There was plenty of seating area in the living room to watch TV. We loved the walk in shower in the master bedroom. Renee was a great host and was very responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Renee Burnett

My husband David and I moved to Tucson almost 25 years ago looking for our future! We found a wonderful city filled with many things to do but still retaining the feel of a small town. We are both now retired and wanted to share the beauty of Tucson with others. David worked as an independent insurance adjuster while Renee had her own bookkeeping firm, Dream Books. We are parents to 2 wonderful daughters and one outstanding son-in-law, all living in town! And grandparents to the two best grandchildren! (Doesn't everyone have the best grandchildren?1?) We enjoy being outside on our patio watching birds and waving to neighbors. Life is as slow paced as we want it to be.

Why they chose this property

Roadrunner Alley was passed down to us by David's family. We stayed at the home many times through the years before we moved here. We felt safe letting our young children playing out in the yard and cal-du-sac. We know that your family will make as many wonderful memories as we did in this fully remodeled home.

What makes this property unique

While desert weather is wonderful in the winter, it is a short drive to Mt. Lemon a peak over 9,000 ft elevation for all your winter sports. If you are a bike rider, part of the rout for Le Tour de Tucson is only a block away!
