Amazing Tucson location

What a delightful surprise the location of this comfortable casita turned out to be! We were met by a constant stream of wildlife, just off the patio. Javelinas, Mule deer, rabbits and coyotes wandered by. Hummingbirds, Cardinals and Orioles made a daily appearance. Starr Pass is well sited for easy access to all the amenities of Tucson, to the nearby Marriott and to the highways that lead to many other southern Arizona adventures. Many hiking trails are within walking/short driving distance. The casita was newly refreshed at our visit and very comfortable. Our host was easy to contact when we had any questions. The six weeks we spent there flew by and we were sad to say goodby.

New Renovations Add to Comfort

Newly repainted, newly installed flooring and new living area furniture make this a comfortable place. This is an older unit, so expectations of the latest home design will not be met. However, there is plenty of space in both bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchen, even if it is not the most up-to-date design. We all enjoyed this unit and we would readily stay here again.

Wildlife

A little down at the heel but nevertheless comfortable and well equipped. We especially enjoyed the flagstone patio where we saw a large variety of birds and animals. The location was convenient and we enjoyed the pool and a meal at the resort. A successful stay!

We loved our stay.

We just loved the casita. Great location and fabulous wildlife/bird watching from our patio. Private and quiet. We stayed 2 months and enjoyed every day. We had 4 groups of family come for a week apiece. They all enjoyed it. Thanks to Dave - we would like to come again.

Starr Pass Resort Golf Casita

Starr Pass Resort is a beautiful property, quiet, with beautiful dessert scenery and mountain vistas. JW Marriott and golf courses are wonderful. The Tucson area has beautiful scenery, parks, hiking and restaurant opportunities. As other reviewers have mentioned this property “needs some love”. (Carpeting, bed linens and kitchen appliances need replacing). The owner was responsive to our concerns.

Wonderful location

Javalinas, mule deer, hummingbirds, Gambel's quail abound. Was visited by all within yards of patio. Bed very comfortable. Location within a developed area but felt very private. Highly recommend. Host was wonderfully understanding when we had a family ER and had to leave early. Hoping we can stay again soon. Recommend!

The location was ideal for hiking. Great trails minutes away. Beautiful Mountain Views. The place could use some updating, but I feel the price was a good value. I think the fees on VRBO are too high.

Maintenance Needed

We enjoyed our visit to this beautiful casita located in a beautiful area. Having said that, there are some serious issues that need attention. First the ice maker did not work and when we purchased ice it gradually melted even though the freezer was set to the coldest setting. Second, while the dishwasher did complete the cycle and light the clean light, it did a terrible job washing the dishes. This must have been a problem for some time since many of the dishes in the cabinets were dirty. Third, the lock on the window in the bedroom is broken in the locked position so the window cannot be opened. Beyond that, many things screwed into the walls were loose and several light bulbs were burnt out. A good maintenance person needs to spend some time here.

Beautiful setting right next to Starr Pass Resort

We stayed here for about a week while visiting our daughter who attend the U of AZ. It's very convenient to drive to downtown or the U from this property - 10-15 minutes with minimal stoplights/traffic - a much easier drive than from the north side resort areas. The community pool is very well kept and is a short 2 minute walk from the casita. Several trails have trailheads very nearby making a quick hike very convenient. The patio is east-facing with lush desert landscaping and many butterflies and hummingbirds. The casita itself is a bit dated and could use a facelift, but everything is in working order, the shower is good, and the bed is comfortable (I'm picky about my mattresses as I tend to have hip and shoulder pain.) It was a wonderful home away from home!

Wonderful stay in Starr Pass Resort!

We had a wonderful stay in this condo, which felt much more like a home than a rental. There was lots of room to spread out and relax, a fully equipped kitchen, and even games to play. The location is fantastic - fairly close to freeways and Tucson itself, but it feels like you're on a getaway in the wild desert. The whole resort is beautifully landscaped with native plants, and we saw tones of wild animals right from the patio of the condo, including javelinas. The beds and sheets weren't the most comfortable (especially in the room with two beds), but the other benefits of this rental more than made up for that. We'll definitely stay again next time we're int theTucson area.

Location: 10, Property: 7.5

My wife and I have stayed at this complex several times and you can't beat the location and association amenities. Just 10 minutes to downtown Tucson and there's a large pool, and nearby fitness room. The condo, however, was a bit underwhelming. The carpet is worn in areas and presents a tripping hazard, especially in the primary bedroom. It appears to need a good stretching throughout. The primary bathroom light fixture had a broken bulb holder which was just hanging down. There was/is a dead cockroach on the floor in the secondary bathroom. It seems that the property management company might not be relaying property conditions to the owner. Too bad. Just a few maintenance-type repairs would make this a great unit to rent.

golf suites at Starr Pass

Over the last two years, we have stayed in 4 different 2 bedroom, 2 bath casitas and this one was our second favorite. Everything except the TV in the king bed bedroom was in good working order. We would like to have more comfortable beds and nicer bedding. The owner was easy to communicate with. We would stay here again and enjoyed our stay overall.

About the host

Hosted by Dave McElwaine

As Boston natives we loved to escape to Starr Pass. Over the years we spent more and more time there and now call Tucson our home. We love cycling, Southwestern food, horses, and the 350 days of sunshine that Arizona offers.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because of it's incredible location in the Tucson Mountains, with access to amazing trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. The proximity of the JW Mariott sealed the deal with it's many restaurants, bars, and a Starbucks. We start most days out on the trails, afternoons at the pool, and evenings with friends at an incredible selection of restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Starr Pass' location is unique from the standpoint that we are 15 minutes from the airport and only 4 miles to downtown Tucson....all while sitting in the Tucson Mountains, surrounded by green golf courses and spectacular views.
