Why the Owner Chose Starr Pass
This condo has great views of the city of Tucson and surrounding mountains. We wake in the morning overlooking an arroyo full of birds and wildlife from the second story balcony we enjoy a cup of coffee while watching the sun rise and listing to the wildlife. Sunset colors adorn the mountians while we enjoy watching the city lites turn on down in the valley. The vaulted ceilings and fireplace make this unit so cozy tucked in this park like setting.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
Starr Pass Resort is truley an oasis in the desert. Great hiking,biking right out the door. The golf ,tennis and of course the J.W. Marriot all within easy walking distance in the resort make this a place of relaxation and enjoyment. Downtown Tucson is just minutes away with the University of Arizona close by the entertainment and shops provide unique experiences.
Owner's Map of Starr Pass
As long time residents of the Tucson area we enjoy the wonderful weather of course. But also the diverse activities available in Tucson. From world class birding,golf and hiking. The theaters and entertainment venues are plentiful yet Tucson retains that small town feel keeping and treasuring its southwest heritage.

85-90 when we arrived a little cooler later & perfect every day! Lots of hiking in the Tucson Mtns,Santa Rita Mts & right out the back door...Went to several Baseball games (UofA & Pro), movies (century 16 on Grant) visited family,hiked some more! Did lots of Bird-watching in the wash. Shopping in Tubac (be sure to go to Wisdom's for a Margarita) Desert museum, long walks in the desert. Vera, The condo was perfect in everyway. We loved waking up to the cacaphoney of birds in the wash and found a variety of hiking trails in the area. We ate most of our meals on the deck and it was always quiet and private. We found the furnishings very comfotable and adequate. Would love to come back! Thanks for sharing, Marcia & Bob

Welcome to our guest book. We are happy to have you as our guest in our second home here in Tucson. We love this part of the desert and enjoy sharing it with friends and family. Early morning walks are the norm this time of year as it is still pretty warm in the afternoons. Waking up here is a treat, the birds start singing and the little bunnies are out and about. Sunrise over the mountains while you have a cup of coffee is peaceful and ever changing. Somehow each time we stay here the mountains look different somedays they appear off in the distance and in other light they look as if you could take a short walk to the top. Night time sitting on the balcony and watching the city lights twinkle give you a very real sense that all is right with the world. Anyway hope you enjoy and will share your experiences here for the rest of us. If you have discovered a new hiking trail or resturant maybe spotted a rare bird please make note here we love to hear from you.
