Testimonials
---------------------------------
My wife and I stayed for a week last winter and loved our time in Green Valley. We walked to restaurants and the weekly market. By car we had quick and direct access for day trips to Nogales (Mexico), Madera Canyon, Tombstone, dark sky reserves, the Desert Museum…not to mention Tucson itself. The unit itself is well-appointed, comfortable, and the perfect space for couples or a family visit. We’d love to visit again with friends! The neighbours are friendly and welcoming, and the complex is safe, walkable, and accessible. Looking forward to our next visit! Dan B.

This lovely home in Green Valley has everything you could want in a vacation rental! The kitchen is well equipped, the living area is comfortable and inviting, and the large patio is a fabulous place to enjoy the warmth and sunshine. The dining room doubles as a 2nd bedroom, making it a great spot for extra guests. There's lots to see and do in this area, and the Mexican restaurants are amazing. I highly recommend this location!
