Casas Adobes House | The Golfing Gecko, Quiet Enjoyment of the Sonoran Desert and Amazing Sunsets.

2 Bedroom House in Casas Adobes, Tucson

Take a break and relax for a few days or more, with wonderful scenery and sunsets. Enjoy scenic hikes, bird watching, ride bikes from your front door, tour the neighborhood in our golf cart or play golf on two of the most well-manicured courses in Tucson, all while practicing social distancing.
Welcome to The Golfing Gecko, our listing on the Sonoran Course at Omni Tucson National. Remodeled in late 2019, “The Gecko” has open views across the fairway and amazing desert sunsets. From the open floor plan kitchen, dining room, living room or extended covered patio, you can enjoy all the sights and sounds and tranquility a desert golf course has to offer.
Take a quick look at the amazing reviews we’ve accumulated during our first couple years. Guest comments are certainly your best source for evaluating a property and you’ll be hard pressed to find higher compliments than The Gecko has received.
Before going any further, I need to express that our location is perfect for enjoying the quiet surroundings. In fact, it is not suitable for gatherings, loud music or loud commotions on the patio. Our outdoor area is open to the golf course and properties across the fairway, plus our immediate neighbors. Sounds travel freely and we ask that you 'blend in' with our peaceful and quiet environment. With regards to this, I have more specific information to send if you are considering making a reservation. My “Quiet Enjoyment” letter is meant to assure compatibility between guests’ and owners’ expectations.
The grounds at Tucson National are separated from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding city. As you enter the area, you drop down into a valley created by the Canada del Oro drainage. There is no thru traffic, allowing for the quiet and peacefulness of a desert golf community oasis. When you exit, every direction will take you to the sights, activities and attractions of Tucson, Oro Valley and places beyond.
Our single level townhome is over 1440 Sq. Ft with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a den, laundry room and a fabulous open kitchen to the living and dining rooms, plus bar seating. The spacious covered patio gives you the option of enjoying our location from both indoors and out.
Our goal is to provide you with most everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay. Upon arrival, we invite you to snoop around and survey what is typically available for your use. Cooking essentials, herbs and spices, paper products, soaps and hair products, laundry essentials, golf cart and three bicycles are there for you.
Feel free to grab a few of the experienced golf balls we keep on hand. Some areas around the desert courses are like golf ball magnets and trying to retrieve them can be challenging. Let’s just say you could get yourself into a prickly situation!
Take a stroll or grab the bikes and conveniently access The Loop trail system. The paved pathway is over 100 miles of “protected from traffic” pedestrian and cycling routes.

Summary: We loved the location and neighborhood. The condo itself was very comfortable and spacious, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed to make some meals for ourselves and relax in the evenings. There were nice touches such as filtered water, ice and both drip and k cup coffee makers, a cooler and umbrella for guest use that made our stay easier. The beds were so comfy that I would like to purchase the same mattress! We enjoyed using the golf cart to check out the neighborhood. The pool and hot tub were literally a one-minute walk from the condo! The pool was big enough for laps and the hot tub was actually HOT! We had a couple of snafus during our stay and the owner (Rick) was highly responsive, kind and offered quick solutions. We would definitely love to stay in one of his properties again and hope to return! A real gem :)
