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.

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.

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.

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!

Better than the pictures

The condo is just perfect, and the location is beyond perfection. We sat on the patio morning and night having coffee or wine, and watched the birds at the bird feeders. Roadrunners would run by, and aside from the birds you really don’t hear a thing. Out the back is a gravel road that leads to a trailhead. It was so quiet that we often slept late We didn’t use the pool or tennis courts because the hikes were so appealing, and there are many. The condo is much more updated than it appears in the photos, and there is every amenity from shampoo to condiments, spices , etc. Ella is a superb hostess, checked in on us during our 9 day stay. The closest grocery store is about 10-15mns and the downtown restaurants are a decent drive, but the Catalina BBQ is walking distance and we ate at the JW Marriott a couple times, which is excellent. If we come back to Tucson we will definitely want to stay there again.

The location of this property sets it apart. We were a chip shot from a gorgeous 27 hole golf course and a short drive or beautiful walk up to the Marriott where we could use their facilities. Sitting out by a fire pit with the hotel’s Starbucks coffee in the morning overlooking the city of Tucson was a great way to start the day. The casita was well equipped with everything you would need including many condiments and paper products and other staples that you would often have to buy at other VRBO units. The beds were very comfortable and the sleeping was fantastic because it was so quiet. Ella is a wonderful owner and went out of her way to make our stay as perfect as possible.

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.
