Starry Nights Villa: Your 5-Star Luxury Retreat in Starr Pass
Imagine waking up to breathtaking desert sunrises and spending your evenings under a canopy of a million stars. Welcome to Starry Nights Villa, your luxurious 850 sq. ft. end-unit casita nestled in the prestigious Starr Pass resort community. This isn't just a place to stay; it's an experience, offering tranquility, unparalleled views, and direct access to Tucson's finest.

Unwind in Unmatched Comfort & Style
Our thoughtfully designed villa provides everything you need for a memorable stay:

Spacious & Private: Enjoy ample space with a private entrance, a plush king-size bed, a convenient galley kitchen, and individual AC for personalized comfort.

Prime Location Perks: Say goodbye to long hauls! You'll have direct parking right in front of your unit, making arrivals and departures a breeze. Our peaceful setting ensures a restful stay, away from noisy roads.

A View Like No Other: Step onto your private patio and be mesmerized by panoramic vistas of the Arnold Palmer golf course, the majestic Tucson Mountains, and the iconic JW Marriott area. Witness abundant wildlife, enjoy the spectacle of golfers, and if you're lucky, catch dazzling fireworks illuminating the night sky. Of course, the Tucson night sky, famed for its clarity, will be a nightly showstopper.

Seamless Access: You're just steps away from the clubhouse, pro shop, and a variety of indoor and outdoor dining options.

Unlock the Starr Pass Experience
While we are an independently managed villa, you can still indulge in many of the resort's amenities:

Marriott Shuttle: Enjoy the convenience of a complimentary Marriott shuttle that whisks you directly to the 5-star JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa. Here, you can savor fine dining, relax by fire-lit patios, and even partake in unique traditions like the evening "Salud" tequila toast.

Spa Indulgence: Treat yourself to a luxurious experience at the Hashemi Luxury Spa at the Marriott. Adult guests booking spa treatments gain access to their adult lap pool, eucalyptus steam rooms, indoor/outdoor Jacuzzis, and the spa facilities for the day.

Pool Access Options: While the resort pools are under separate management, guests can often purchase passes directly through ResortPass.com. Marriott Platinum guests may also have access with their Platinum card. In some limited cases, if you're having trouble securing a pass, please let us know, and we'll do our best to assist our registered guests.

Beautiful and relaxing!

My girlfriend and I stayed here for six nights and absolutely loved it! It had all the amenities we were looking for (kitchen, laundry, outdoor porch, full bath (shower and tub), king bed) and working with Ella was easy and convenient. We had a little trouble locating the property the evening we arrived but stopped at the main entrance and they were able to point us in the right direction in only a few minutes (and gave us refreshments in those few minutes). Highly recommend a stay here and we would definitely stay here on a return trip to Tucson!

Family Weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Owl Casita! The home was very nice and comfortable, we had ample room to relax and visit with our children. The view is amazing and the patio is very private. The pool and restaurant and within walking distance and the man hotel is a shuttle or very short drive away.

Comfortable place in interesting area.

We came from the eastern part of the USA with our grandson so he could see something different and we were not disappointed! Casita Owl is in a great area with walking trails, great views and a restaurant within walking distance. The house is equipped for cooking although we only did a little. We saw any birds and wild pigs just outside - fun to watch. We enjoy our stay in Tucson very much!

Sweet!

A job transfer to Tucson brought me to this location. I stayed at the Marriott for a week, another casita for the next few weeks, until I narrowed down to this location. When my boss came to visit, he added the Owl Casita to his list of preferred executive locations for transfers. My 16 year old daughter visited and she felt very safe while I was at work. It's all good here. Great area, great house. Thanks!

We Loved Our Relaxing Stay at Owl Starr Pass Casita

My husband and I were so looking forward to our stay at Starr Pass this January. We stayed for 10 days, and our casita was everything we hoped it would be. It was comfortable, well equipped, and tastefully decorated. Pam, the manager was very helpful and attentive. The nature was amazing, and we enjoyed using the bird feeders while we were there. We saw many hummingbirds, quail, cardinals, cactus wrens and more. Plus desert life like javelina, coyotes and antelope squirrels. We were an easy drive to our favorite spots like the Desert Museum, downtown Tucson and Tahono Chul. We hiked every day and enjoyed to pool when it was warm enough. We would love to come and stay again sometime.

Home away from home

We have been staying in the Starr Pass area for the past 5 or so years. We have mostly stayed in the casitas in this complex but this was the first time in this particular casita. So far it is our favorite. My husband and I found it very comfortable. After a day of bumming it was great to relax on the great sofas, fall into the comfy bed at night. The towels were wonderful. Well stocked kitchen. Wonderful pool to relax at. My husband enjoyed the golf course and we enjoyed happy hour at the Marriott. The owner was so easy to communicate with. Always got back to us in a timely manner. We will back next year.

Excellent in every way!

We have stayed in various Starr Pass Casitas several times over the years. Pamela's Owl's Nest casita provided us the best stay ever. It was updated, clean and so well provisioned, that we only had to purchase the food that we would consume. Also, the birds were extraordinary! Pamela had left a suet holder for us to hang which we did. As we were setting it up, a cactus wren couldn't wait for us to hang it in the tree, and she simply hopped on while we were installing it. This year we discovered the shuttle and employed it each night to visit the resort for sunset drinks or a meal. We brought our bikes in the past, but this year we enjoyed hiking and exploring, which was every bit as special. We would not hesitate to recommend the Owl's Nest casita!

Our Story: A Legacy of Love for Tucson & Cherished Memories
As proud University of Arizona graduates, we, like countless Wildcats, found the "Old Pueblo" calling us back. Two decades after graduation, that enduring pull—shared by our mother who also recognized the unique beauty of this resort area—led us to discover and lovingly prepare this exquisite Starr Pass villa. It's our dream fulfilled, and we're thrilled to share this special slice of Tucson with guests from across the globe.

Within these walls, you'll find art that holds deep personal meaning for us, making your stay truly unique. Glimpse our daughter's photography from her youth, beautifully displayed in the kitchen. Near the glass door, admire a piece by a dear and loyal friend. You'll also discover a special drawing of an owl, created by a young teenage visitor, carrying a timeless wish and blessing for all future guests. These owls, lovingly given by our guests over the years, are a testament to the cherished connections made here.

Adding an extra layer to your Tucson experience, one of us even had the unique privilege of working at the legendary Old Tucson Movie Location, planning daily gift-giving for stars like Elizabeth Taylor, George Hamilton, and Tom Skerritt during filming. This iconic Western attraction, famous for its movie history and a current fun park, is just one of the many gems awaiting you near our villa.

Why they chose this property

Top location in the resort development, quiet end unit w/best view. No road noise from Starr Pass Rd. Best casita elevation and view. Steam Cleaned in between guests for spotless housekeeping. Stocked kitchen
The ONLY Golf course in Tucson with bengt greens, including the Ritz!! Mountain bike and hike out your back door. Attend conventions at the Marriot with triple the space at a fraction of the cost

Resort nearest the U of A, downtown and the airport and I-10. Within eye site of famous JW Marriott Hotel and Spa, Road Runner Golf Course, Starr Pass. Open park wildlife reserve, Rich in beauty and scenic desert terrain. Open air mountain bike park, all in our back yard. We visited and stayed at all the developments and resorts in the Old Pueblo and came back to Starr Pass. There is something special about this desert oasis. This is a place to return to again and again.

What makes this property unique

View is Best --Location, location, location.
There are other places to stay in Starr Pass, however, none have this view, this location, an end unit on the master bedroom side = privacy and peacefulness, free parking in front of the unit, great elevation, and view

Notes to Our Guests:
1. This Suite is NOT suitable for parties and outside guests other than those included on booking.

3. Tucson is a favorite with hikers and cyclists but non-residents must remember that our hot and dry climate can change to monsoons in the summer and snow in the mountains in the winter! Rain and snowmelt create conditions! Hikers and cyclists need to carry plenty of water, sunscreen, and wear hats and good shoes/ boots at all times.
4. Shuttle -- guest pick up at Catalina BBQ near the Golf Pro Shop will drop guests to the JW Marriott Resort and Spa entrance -- spend the evening fireside or dining. Shuttle runs through the evening and will drop you back to your casita. Enjoy live music most weekend evenings, grand fire pits and fire towers, meal and beverage service at your couch/table, restaurants and Starbucks on site. Early morning guided hiking.
