Cereus Vista- Outstanding Views

My two sons and I were celebrating my oldest son’s 40th birthday with some hiking and museum touring. The location provided us with easy access to West Saguaro Natl. Park and other sites. We were treated to spectacular sunrises and sunsets on the property as well as a visit from a bobcat, a herd of javelinas, a dozen different birds and the howls of coyotes in the distance. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and will return to see more museums and historical sites.

The house was so clean and beautiful. We were able to fully relax and enjoy our time in Tucson. I would love to stay here again.

We stayed at Cereus Vista with our friends while vacationing in Tucson. The property is just perfect for friends and families. It’s very well appointed and so peaceful looking out at Twin Peaks. The flora and fauna is amazing and the location is close in , but also out in the countryside.

We were 3 couples that have been friends for over 50 years. The guys were stationed together while serving in the Army in the early 70s. We traveled to Tucson from our homes outside Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Philadelphia and the San Francisco Bay Area. Cereus Vista was just about perfect. The house is in the Marana area of northwest Tucson. The house is set back from the street on a 5.3 acres. Access was on a gravel driveway. It was a very private site with incredible views. The home is very close to the western section of Saguaro National Park. The home was built in 1994. It was well maintained in excellent condition. The main house with the two casitas was perfect for the six of us. We all loved the house. We would have rated the cleanliness 5 stars except we did pick up some trash in the back of the house. The major negative were the hidden fees. We were charged an additional $141 "Vrbo Fee" on top of the quoted $1,170.73 for 4 nights. The property is managed by "Casago" which is a 3rd party vacation rental property management company. It took over 6 emails and additional text messages with Casago to check in. Casago also charged us a $50 "Pet Fee." Since we didn't bring a pet, I questioned the charge. After 2 emails, 2 text messages and one phone call I was told that the general manager would be in contact. I received an email that we would be credited the $50 fee. As of this writing, the charge is still on my credit card.

Great place for 6 people and a dog to enjoy a vacation. The kitchen is pretty well stocked with dishes and utensils but i recommend bringing key items that you might need. There were plenty of towels including hot tub towels and dish towels. The views are spectacular. There was a herd of Javalenas around and a small group of coyotes. We stayed a week but would've liked to stay longer.
