The STR Slowdown Hits Tucson

Tucson's vibrant tourism scene, usually boosted by spring breakers and desert seekers, saw a dip in demand this April. Economic uncertainty, changing traveler habits, and even a late Easter meant fewer early-season getaways. Fewer Canadian travelers due to tariff tensions also affected bookings, especially in Arizona border markets. Platforms like Airbnb and Expedia reflected the trend with a visible drop in reservations.

While many hosts scrambled, Splendor Homes was already evolving beyond the traditional STR model.

Midterm Rentals: Tucson’s Emerging Market Solution

Splendor Homes responded early by expanding into midterm rentals in Tucson—stylish, fully furnished homes for traveling professionals, relocating families, and healthcare workers on assignment.

Unlike short-term bookings, midterm stays in Tucson offer longer durations and stronger stability. From Barrio Viejo to the foothills near Ventana Canyon, our homes provide comfort, flexibility, and a curated boutique feel—perfect for guests who need more than a weekend escape.

Local Partnerships That Matter

We’ve built direct relationships with Tucson-based hospitals, corporate relocation programs, and staffing agencies. That means our midterm rental homes stay occupied and profitable, even when tourism softens.

This is more than a business move. It is a boutique commitment to both guest experience and property performance.

Tucson Homes, Thoughtfully Prepared

Each Splendor home in Tucson is prepared beautifully by our local team, combining the ease of a hotel with the soul of a Southwest home. From stocked kitchens to soft desert-toned decor, we create spaces that feel lived-in, not just rented out.
