The house surpassed all expectations! Ann and Bruce made us feel so welcome and added personal touches to enhance our experience in their lovely home. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our visit in Tucson so enjoyable!

This was one of the most comfortable rental stays I’ve experienced. The house was bigger than expected with lots of amenities, and the owners were great hosts.

We had a great family stay - location is easy to get to and close enough to many Tucson activities- even to walk to. Neighborhood is quiet and clean and parking was right in front of the house. The house is even nicer than photos show. Beds were very comfortable, bathrooms nice and yard pretty. We loved the place and would recommend highly.

We stayed at this property after Christmas 2023. It exceeded our expectations. Although the photos represent the property really well, it was even nicer in person, immaculate and well-presented. The hosts left a tray of home made goodies for us, along with ample sparkling and still waters, nachos and salsa. There were plenty of coffee beans for grinding fresh each morning. The sleeping arrangements work well with the master bed and bath located on one side and the second and third bedrooms on the opposite side of the property, so everyone has their own space. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. It was a homelike space to return to after a day out hiking, etc.
This property is also soundproof. Although it is near a main street, once you’re inside you don't hear a thing. It was too cool to enjoy the private garden, but it would be a great place to unwind. At the same time that you feel away from everything when you’re in the house, it’s close to Safeway, coffee, restaurants, and downtown, as well as roads that take you to the beautiful scenery surrounding Tucson. We highly recommend it and look forward to coming back!

We were two couples and thus very much appreciated the two wings of the house. Our two dogs loved the yard, savoring time outside in the AZ sun. The kitchen was well appointed. They even had two sheet pans!
It’s a pretty place to enjoy Tucson.

The location is perfect for just about anywhere in Tucson, but particularly downtown/university. The house is immaculate, well-stocked and very comfortable. Even with a homecoming game a few blocks away the house was quiet.

This is a beautiful property only a few blocks from the University of Arizona. We were able to walk to many events the college from the home. I spent a weekend with friends visiting my daughter for her sorority initiation. The owners are fantastic with communication, the best I've had in many VRBO stays. The home is cozy, welcoming, and well-appointed. It was a wonderful weekend with friends and my daughter.

My aunt, cousin and myself, convened in Tucson for a week of fun and exploration and could not have been more delighted with our home away from home. From the extremely well appointed kitchen (from 3 people who love to cook) to the beautifully decorated home, we couldn’t get over how perfect the house was. The bathrooms and bedrooms were great with great linens and. Very comfortable beds and pillows (so important and often a disappointment in even the nicest homes).
We were fortunate enough to meet the owners as well, and could see immediately, why the home was so well set up, noting they both have spent years in the hospitality business. This one is going in my favorites column for sure!

This was the perfect location for college move in. You can see the stadium two blocks away. The house was clean and had all the amenities including extra touches like cold drinks and snacks waiting upon arrival. Showers and bathrooms were spacious and had great water pressure. The hosts were excellent at communicating and directions and access were easy. We would definitely stay here again. The of street gated parking provided extra security.
5.0
The owners at this rental actually want you to feel welcome and they take steps above and beyond what is necessary to make that happen. Here are some examples. The towels are actually soft and large -- like ones I have in my own house. There are plenty of drinks and snacks upon arrival, like flavored water, bottled water, chips, salsa, chocolate. The furniture is comfortable and clean, not worn and tired. The linens on the bed are soft, with comfortable pillows. The entire property inside and out is immaculately maintained with high pressure shower heads, and resort quality outdoor patios and furniture. Even the toilet paper is the best you can buy (Charmin from Costco). We will never stay anywhere else when we come to Tucson.

The interior was thoughtfully designed and decorated with a flair for creativity and utilization of a lot of Southwest art pieces, and accessories. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked, and the hosts were very attentive. We will definitely stay there again.

We loved our stay in this beautifully decorated classic Tucson home. The location near the university was perfect for visiting family, convenient grocery shopping, and visiting the local areas of interest.
The hosts arranged convenient access to the home, which was especially appreciated when our arrival was unexpectedly delayed. A warm welcome included a buffet of snacks, seltzer and sodas, and a hand-illustrated note. They also provided fair warning when they were planning to visit the property.
All in all, my friend and I very very happy with our stay.

The warmth and the vibe were perfect for a vacation stay. Separate sides of home were great for 2 couples.
The decor is welcoming, yet high on style.
We cooked 1 night. Everything we needed in kitchen. Even olive oil.
Added touches of coffee, tea, water, snacks were a lovely touch. TY

The owners thought of everything! The home was so well decorated and updated. We even got some home decorating ideas! We had everything we needed and more! The snacks and coffee beans with grinder were a special surprise. I was able to cook my UofA daughter's favorite meal and host friends with the cookware and utensils in the house. The mattresses were SO comfortable (better than home). We will definitely come back!

LOVED our stay at Casa Reina. The house was perfect and had yummy chips, salsa, coffee, tea, water provided for our stay. - Thank you! So welcoming. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The house is comfortably decorated and darling decor relevant to the house and Tucson history. Bruce and Ann are excellent hosts with most! I want to stay again. Thank you for providing the place for a great weekend stay in Tucson.

We had a terrific stay at Ann and Bruce's home in Tucson. It looked lovely in online photos when we booked it, but it was even nicer in person. The furnishings were high end and comfortable, the decor was charming, and the house was spotless. The hosts provided absolutely everything we could think of to make our stay perfect. They even included extra special touches like welcome goodies, beverages, spa-like toiletries etc. The backyard was super nice and inviting - a lovely spot to enjoy a glass of wine. Casa Reina is close to the university, and we found it to be a safe and convenient location to just about all of the spots we visited. It was also handy to have off street parking and to have a Safeway grocery store a block away. We couldn't have been happier staying at Casa Reina, and just wished we had a few more days there to enjoy it. Thank you for providing the ultimate hospitality! We will definitely book it again if we return to Tucson. Top notch accommodations!

This is a great, three bedroom and two bath property very close to the university campus. It is ten minutes or less to downtown. It was stocked with nearly everything we needed, and was very clean. It’s tastefully decorated, charming, and the owners communicate well but also give the guests privacy.

Beautiful house, great location, generous and responsive hosts. The best rental we have ever stayed at! 100% recommend!

Bruce's property met and exceeded all our expectations. The place was laid out so there were two wings, which suited two couples very well. The sliding outer door to the driveway gave us a good measure of privacy and security for our new car. The kitchen had all the basic setup features one needs. The shower in the bath for the master bedroom was wonderfully proportioned, with excellent water pressure and was perhaps the best, most comfortable shower I've ever enjoyed. If and when we return to Tucson, this is where we will stay. The house was a delight!

We love love loved this house! A friend and I were in town for a wedding, and this house was perfectly situated amidst all of the day trips and evening outings. We fell in love with the house and especially the back yard. A slice of heaven in the middle of the town. All amenities were available, even a snack for our late afternoon arrival. Oh and did I mention the showers - fantastic!
Thank you so much for making this amazing house available. I will stay here again whenever I travel to AZ!

We were in town for our daughter’s wedding and this house was perfect for our needs and perfect location. Loved all the Knick knacks in the house. The showers were phenomenal and loved they provided shampoo conditioner and body wash. Loved the outside patio and basically everything about the house.

Communication with the owners was easy, well presented and inquiries were quickly returned. The location was near campus and shopping on a reasonably quiet street. The house was clean and well appointed. The owners even left some small, but very welcomed, gifts. I was impressed. The patio in back was especially nice and used by us many times. The bathrooms were spacious, well stocked & hot water was plentiful (but to save water, we showered quickly…lol). All in all, it was one of the best properties I have rented in the last 20 years.

We loved Casa Reina for family weekend! Our hosts provided a number of extra touches that added to our comfort during our stay! The location, the decor, the security, ease of check in and check out and the kitchen essentials that made us comfortable and helped us get our stay started! Everything was terrific! Thank you!

Very cute property. House was one of the best VRBO we have stayed at. Attention to every detail was thought of by the owners. Everything from the towels to the pillows was high quality.
We came for the NDSU vs the wildcats football game. The house is within a few blocks to the stadium so we just walked to the game.
There was five of us and it worked perfectly . We will definitely
stay here again if we come back to Tucson.
This is one VRBO that truly was as listed!

Came to Tucson for the first time and stayed at this beautiful house! Everything was as advertised. House was spotless and the host couldn’t have been more helpful, they are great! The house has everything you need, great amenities and a beautiful back patio area that is covered and great for a little relaxation. We were also able to park our car inside the little gate at the house away from the public road. 5-7 minute walk to Wildcat Stadium and an easy walk to downtown. We would definitely stay here again!
5.0
Cute home in the heart of Tucson/UofA area. The yard was very relaxing and inviting. The home was well maintained and updated with all the amenities of home. We all truly enjoyed our time there. Two small recommendations - small power supply in the master bedroom to charge devices would be very helpful and curtain or some covering on the master door for additional privacy. Overall A++
