Central 1940s Bungalow Gem Mins to Downtown & UofA

Located within central Tucson is Casa Cariño, a stylish 1940s bungalow filled with character, charm, and all of life’s little luxuries.

The home features comfortable, modern living with an inviting lounge, a fully equipped kitchen, 2 sun-filled bedrooms, and an outdoor oasis with alfresco dining, a BBQ, a chiminea fire pit, and a gazebo that lights up at night.
Stay only mins from Downtown, the Zoo, UofA, and Reid Park, or walk to restaurants, cafes, and markets all right on your doorstep!

Make your way past the cacti gardens, through the bright teal door, and into this modern, inviting adobe bungalow with everything you could need for a relaxing stay right in the heart of it all!

The living space invites you to gather on the plush lounge chairs to play board games or stream all your favorite music and movies on the 50” TV equipped with a Roku StreamBar to keep everyone entertained.

Move into the modern kitchen, fully equipped with everything you need for a meal in. You’ll have access to quality cookware, dinnerware, appliances, and a fully stocked coffee bar loaded with a drip coffee pot, a Keurig, an iced tea maker, and even a French press to start your day just how you like it.

Enjoy meals together in the dining room with a table set for four, or if you don’t feel like cooking, walk just minutes to cafes, coffee shops, and restaurants with everything from a Sushi Bar to BBQ to fine dining or a quick coffee stop.

When it comes time to rest, you’ll have two beautiful bedrooms to choose from that offer the ultimate cloud-like comfort.

The sunny front bedroom features a queen-sized sleep number bed and large closet, while the master is filled with a luxuriously large, memory foam king-size bed with a Smart TV on the dresser and plenty of closet space to store all your luggage.

The two bedrooms share the central sparkling bathroom stocked with all the essentials for your stay and feature a tub/shower combo with an extra tall shower head and an elongated ADA height toilet equipped with a bidet.

Outside, guests can soak up Tucson’s endless sunshine in the large, fully enclosed backyard oasis. Here you can let your pets roam free as you relax under the shady gazebo on the outdoor lounge, grill, and eat alfresco style under the trees.

In the evening, sink into the Adirondack chairs surrounding the warm chiminea fire pit and relax while stargazing into the night sky.

If you are looking for the perfect place to call home less than 10 minutes from the Zoo, beautiful Parks, the University of Arizona, and all the fun of Downtown, look no further than this modern, comfortable, and inviting home for your next getaway.

Casa Carino---a great place to stay

We stayed at Casa Carino for a month and enjoyed every minute of it. The house size was more than adequate, the kitchen and laundry facilitates were first rate. The beds are very comfortable and we are still trying to figure out how they got the sheets so very soft. The back yard is totally fenced so we could let Fido run and not worry about her getting lost, and it is void of any type of prickly vegetation that might get in your dogs paws. With the gazebo, a dining area and an area with Adirondack chairs and a chiminea we found the back yard very pleasant for lounging, reading, eating---At first site some of the nearby neighbors (rental properties) looked a bit shaky, but we found everyone around to be quite friendly, and enjoyed walking through Miramonte neighborhood daily and every evening---The property is close to Speedway which is a busy street but we found there to be little if any road noise inside -no doubt due to the thick stucco walls)-so we slept very well. On one instance we needed to contact the owner and am happy to say that Steve returned our request in about 3 minutes---We have already recommended this place to some friends and will no doubt be using it again in the future. Oh one other thing --the Bashful Bandit BBQ is about 100yds away and is not only full of really great bbq, but also a very very friendly staff who all reside in the Miramonte neighborhood-also, we had to see a vet for our dog and would recommend the Pima Pet clinic on speedway!!!

Charming Gem for a Winter Stay

We spent 2 weeks in February with our aging dog for a warm weather escape in this very comfortable house. It is in a central older neighborhood very convenient to Whole Foods and walkable to several good restaurants. The place is pleasantly bright and the beds and pillows were terrific. Fenced back yard with several nice sitting areas. Well stocked and thoughtfully done place, with responsive hosts. Would stay here again without hesitation as a place to explore Tucson and all that it has to offer.

Comfortable, well equipped bungalow

The property was clean, comfortable and well equipped with a spacious backyard. We enjoyed staying here while visiting Saguaro National Park. We cooked all our meals in the well equipped kitchen. Plenty of parking space. A nice place to stay.

A perfect stay!

Loved this sweet place. Well outfitted with essentials for the kitchen. Large backyard where our dogs were happy to lay in the shade. Walkable to coffee, a Whole Foods, and accessible to most places by driving as it’s centrally located and right off a Main Street. Loved it. It was very clean and we had zero issues during our stay.

Adorable weekend getaway property

We had the best time at this location. The hosts have thought of everything and made it comfortable for our stay with all the essentials. Our dogs loved the fully fenced in yard and we loved having a sitting area to hang out in when they explored the outdoors. We would definitely go back on our next Tucson adventure!

Better Than Expected

Extremely well stocked and appointed. This updated mid-town bungalow was a pleasant surprise and just what we needed for some chill time and regroup after two long days of car travel. Two relatively minor gripes are: the tub/shower has no grippers making it slippery and dangerous, and the bath sink faucet hot/cold is backwards. They went above and beyond with the little details and extras. We’ll done!
