Whether you’re visiting for the Gem Show, Rodeo, Golf Tournament, Street Fair, conference at the JW Marriott or just for a vacation, this is the perfect place to retreat to each night. It is conveniently located for all of the best events Tucson has to offer.

Recently renovated, this home features granite counters throughout, a gas cooktop, an amazing view of the fairway of the 7th hole of the Arnold Palmer designed premier Roadrunner course with the beautiful JW & Sonoran foothills in the distance (many of the other rentals stare at other homes or parking lots).

On a beautiful afternoon, open the glass sliding doors to your private patio and enjoy the crisp air and sounds of the desert. This unit also features a glass sliding door from the master bedroom to the great patio as well; A rare upgrade that allows you to enjoy the outdoors so easily from both the living room and the master bedroom. Guests may also make use of our newly added Roland upright digital piano (installed September 2024).

We often see a beautiful desert wildlife in the surrounding area. Roadrunners, Deer, Javelina and lizards to name a few. They don’t bother anyone; Just be sure to have your camera ready to snap a shot of them when they pass by! The patio is tastefully fenced to ensure that the desert wildlife doesn't interrupt your enjoyment of the space. The patio gate is locked (code available upon request) to prevent children from wandering into the trailhead access road behind the home.

During your stay, enjoy an invigorating hike on nearby maintained trails by day, then relax while streaming a movie by night.

For guests traveling that need to use hard-wired ethernet for enhanced internet security, our home is ready for you with the both workstations in the home being ethernet equipped.

Guests can take advantage of the Clubhouse’s restaurant Catalina Barbeque Co. & Sports Bar. Also, checkout the restaurants at the nearby JW Marriott as well with live weekend entertainment.

Stream your favorites on the included MAX (ultimate Ad-Free version) service on any of the three Samsung Smart TV's throughout the unit, each equipped with Roku Soundabar Pro's. Our premium MAX subscription includes HBO, CineMax, HGTV, Discovery, Magnolia Network, DC Movies, Food Network, Cartoon Network, TCM, TLC, Travel Channel, Adult Swim and ID. You have access to them all with MAX! Other apps are loaded on the Roku for guests to login to their own accounts if they wish.

This suite is located within the Starr Pass resort community and is situated only 1 mile to the JW Marriott hotel, 4 miles to the I-10, 6.5 miles to UofA, and just 12 miles to Tucson airport. You can find cheaper rentals, however, this unit is unique with it's extra large patio and master-sliding glass patio access, modernized, and offers a beautiful resort feel without all those nasty resort fees and ad-ons. I like all-inclusive and no surprises; I bet you do too!

This unique vacation rental gives you the get-away-from-it-all experience while still having all your conveniences close by. Parking is FREE and close to the unit—just far enough away that you don’t hear people coming and going, yet close enough that carrying in groceries and suitcases is easy—it’s perfect. You also have your own private stacked, large capacity washer/dryer combo located inside the unit. Perhaps best of all, whether you visit in the winter, summer, spring or fall, the full-suite air conditioning and heating with active Nest thermostats will keep you comfortable throughout the entire home.


THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:

We're not property managers or real estate agents. This is our second home and we allow guests to stay in it while we are away.

There are security cameras located at this home. ALL of them are outdoors and only view outdoor areas. Cameras are located in the front front porch and viewing the entire entry patio and front doors. Additional cameras cameras are located outside on the back of the home and overview the back patio and landscaped grounds surrounding the patio. These cameras are primarily for us to monitor the property exterior when guests or ourselves are not present, and their activity is recorded 24/7. Booking this unit is consent to their presence and operation and is an agreement not to cover, alter, or impact their view or operation.

The closet in the master bedroom is locked off. We keep our personal clothes in there to allow guests full use of the large dresser.

This home is smoke and pet-free. Any guest that brings a pet into the home risks forfeiting their stay and agrees to be subject to a $350 pet cleaning fee.

While it’s located within our community, the nearby pool and gym facility is privately owned and under new management. They have eliminated a previous decades-long courtesy of allowing guests of private casita owners who are paid members of the club (such as us) to access the facilities.  As such, access to the nearby pool/jacuzzi/gym is no longer included with any of our listings or any other privately owned units.  Be aware that any golf casitas advertising pool access are timeshare units managed by a big timeshare company. Our casita is 100% privately owned and not a part of the timeshare company--there's no awkward sales pitches with our unit, we promise! :)

A note to previous guests--while the home used to sleep 6, we have since removed the second bed from the master bedroom and so the home now sleeps 4.
