About this property

Welcome to Casa Hibiscus! Amenities galore!! bike+bbq+fire pit ! Pets!

Casa Hibiscus is an adorable studio situated behind the main house, Casa Mimosa, where I live. It is in walking distance to the U of A and the University Medical Center. PETS ALLOWED!
You are 15 minutes away by car from the Tucson botanical gardens and our fabulous zoo. Tombstone is a 90 minute drive away. The iconic Arizona Inn is a 2 minute walk from the house. They have fabulous gardens, two restaurants and a piano bar for your enjoyment.
The guesthouse has a queen plus full kitchen and all the amenities you can think of.
Casa Hibiscus is a jewel in the desert. It is surrounded by a 7 foot retaining wall which is perfect for privacy and security. At night, the only sound you may hear is the howling of a coyote or two on Arizona Inn property.
This is a fully furnished studio with its own front patio and private small backyard. Most of the artwork at Casa Hibiscus is original and many of the artists are friends of mine. My eclectic decorating style comes from years of traveling.
There is also a washer/ dryer on the side of the Casa with detergent and dryer sheets for your convenience.
In Tucson, we use our outside space as much as our inside. You can see from the photographs that there are many quaint areas on the property to sit back and relax. Feel like cooking outdoors? There is a gas barbecue available and outside tables to enjoy the starry nights. There is also a bicycle and helmet that you're welcome to use while you are here.
I have tried to think of everything you might need to make you feel at home here. You have shampoo, cream rinse and bath gel for the shower as well as body lotion and travel size items that you might have forgotten. There are also 2 plush bath robes plus slippers for your convenience. There is an iron and ironing board plus a bed tray if you choose to have coffee or snacks in bed.
The kitchen has pots and pans, cooking utensils and is always stocked with coffee and tea and bottled water. There will always be bagels, cream cheese, butter and preserves for you. I keep a bowl of individually wrapped snacks for your convenience while you are here.
Since my house is on the property, if there is anything that you need that I have available, I am happy to let you borrow it. Enjoy!

The property was beautiful and Elizabeth goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. The cottage is tucked behind the main house, but it's easy to come and go. And the hot tub and outdoor seating were incredibly relaxing. We'd definitely stay here again!

Everything was very clean. Our pet got to roam the yard but we also had our own private patio. Our host, Elizabeth, was just the sweetest lady. If we needed anything, all we had to do was ask. I would highly recommend staying here.

Excellent accommodations!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Hibiscus. It had all the amenities we want on vacation and more. Elizabeth went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. When we were not hiking or out-and-about, we enjoyed the outdoor amenities, including the hot tub. We would highly recommend Casa Hibiscus and Elizabeth as a great place to stay in Tucson1

Spring Stay

The property was fantastic. Elizabeth maintains a beautiful outdoor space with various settings within the yard. The guest house is well stocked, clean, and comfortable with plenty of room for 2 adults. She is a personable, gracious, and attentive host. She responds within minutes to messages. We are very pleased our stay and would repeat.

Just like the listing. Elizabeth was great accommodating but not at all overbearing. Felt like you had the property to your self. It isn't large but was perfect for my wife and I. Located just on the east side of campus so anything UA related is very close.

Amazing place

The Casa Hibiscus was an amazing place to stay while in Tucson for Work/Fun for a week. From the stocked coffee and bagels for breakfast each morning to the bicycle I used to commute around, everything was taken care of. Getting in and out of the casita was simple and I could go on my own schedule. Elizabeth is an amazingly gracious host and made sure I was fully taken care of. I'll certainly be back someday!
