The Villas at Sin Vacas, Catalinas (#46620)

Description of the Tucson vacation villa rental

Enchanting villa in Villas at Rancho Sin Vacas, situated at the base of the Catalina Foothills within the prestigious, private home community of Rancho Sin Vacas at the northern edge of the city. The exclusive gated community has 24/7 guards who are professional, and friendly like everyone in Sin Vacas. Just unpack and relax. You will feel so at home in this quiet and private environment that you will want to return to this villa year after year.

The desirable end unit, at a desirable price is one story -- no one above, below, or next to you with a wall blocking your views -- and no stairs to climb.

Great Room has a spacious, open floor plan that is ideal for entertaining. Vaulted ceilings, French Door to the private patio, and wrap-around floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the rooms with light and sun, and offer panoramic views of the breathtaking Catalina Mountain range and the twinkling city lights.

Great Room has a 32" flat screen HDTV.
Master bedroom with sitting area, TV, VCR, desk, dresser, walk-in closet
Guest room/den with 27" TV, DVD/VCR, a library of DVDs and Videos, CD/tape player, and a nice selection of books.
High speed internet and expanded cable are included.

Play chess, board games, enjoy a fondue, or gather around the piano next to a lovely fire in the kiva fireplace at your private and quiet retreat after a day in the invigorating mountain air of Tucson or greater Arizona.

The large and privately enclosed patio, surrounded by lush, mature vegetation, has a table with umbrella, chairs, ample additional seating for your guests, a comfortable chaise, a copper wood burning pit, cozy lanterns, candles, and musical wind chimes that create a magical atmosphere in which to star-gaze, and enjoy the cool nights, or the warm sunny days of the serene and starkly beautiful Arizona Sonoran Desert.

Tucson is a year-round birder's paradise. You'll delight at the many species of hummingbirds and other birds that abound in the trees and shrubbery right outside your door. Your villa is host to a spectacular variety of desert wildlife that you will enjoy watching every day from every room of the house, or as you relax on the patio. Keep a camera handy because if you like wildlife and beautiful natural desert scenery, you will love your surroundings and the "desert visitors" to this villa.

During the winter, view the snow capped mountains from your windows and patio. In the summer, the higher foothills elevation keeps the temperatures cooler than the city below. The villa is ideal for a wonderful vacation at ANY time of the year.

Swim, or relax by the sparkling heated pool - now at 83 degrees, and hot tub - now at 101 degrees. Enjoy the sunshine and blue skies in a padded chaise lounge, or while dining on the pool patio at one of the tables with chairs and umbrellas. Or sink into an over-stuffed, butter soft leather chair in the beautifully furnished clubhouse with a large TV, VCR, books and games, a kitchen, a massive rustic SW table and chairs -- or work out in the fitness/weight room, and then go for a swim under the brilliant star-studded Arizona sky!

Reserve early -- winter months fill up quickly.
Accepting advance reservations for winter 2010/2011 at this time.

This peaceful community setting, off Skyline Drive/Pima Canyon and north of Ina Road, is secluded and removed from traffic and noise, yet only minutes from supermarkets, pharmacies, post office, Kinko's, La Encantada Mall, Foothills Mall, Tucson Mall -- and all the amenities one would expect or desire at a home away from home.
