Pretty good
The unit is just fine. The coffee maker on the counter didn't work but there was another one in the cupboard, so that worked out okay. Also, the pool and gym keys didn't work and the gym thermostat didn't work in the club facilities. No view, but everything was adequate. They are strict about checking in at 4pm, yet we were not sent the code until I called a few minutes after 4pm. The manager was immediately responsive and friendly.

Excellent Location and Host
Starr Pass is beautiful, the views, the property amenities, accessibility, and more. The two-bedroom casita is clean, spacious, and well-equipped adding to a fantastic relaxing vacation. It looks just like the pictures. We would recommend and rent this exact casita again. The host is quick to respond, friendly, and provides tips and more to enhance the vrbo experience.

Working - Home away from Home
The property is described well and represented what we were looking for while away from home & family. The photos illustrate and depict the property well. Melanie was always professional and communicated promptly with us. We rarely used all the amenities in the area but we did use the nearby pool and the restaurant at the nearby Marriott. The vacation property is comfortable and offered everything we needed. The beds are always subjective and so I'm careful not to scrutinize it much. My coworker added a padded mattress cover to his bedroom and slept much better afterwards. I would recommend Melanie's property to anyone who is looking for serenity out of the city and near hiking trails and other amenities described in the listing.

Fantasic Mini Vacation!
My spouse and I stayed here for a few days for some R&R and had a wonderful time. The casita is as-advertised, the check-in process couldn't have been easier, and Melanie was always on hand to answer any questions we had. We spent mornings out on the deck soaking in the sun, reading and watching the wildlife. The casita is very private and yet close to everything Starr Pass has to offer. The bed was extremely comfortable, too. Thank you Melanie for such a wonderful stay!

Great unit, amazing location
The unit is on the edge of the developed land next to Tucson Mountain Park. We did multiple hikes from the Starr Pass Trailhead (which we could walk to from the unit) that ranged from relatively easy to longer hikes with lunch and lots of water. I bird, and the best birding of the trip was from the porch of this unit (Gambles Quail, Phainopepla, Verdin, Cactus Wrens, Gila Woodpeckers, Curved-billed Thrashers, a Swainson's Hawk in the bush, Greater Roadrunner, Vermilion Flycatcher, Say's Phoebe, White-winged Dove, Costa's Hummingbird...). And, the location has a wide range of solid SW restaraunts under 20 minute drive - fantastic food choices. We also liked that the kitchen was well stocked with good knives, even LeCrueset bakeware and coffee cups. The back patio, with the umbrella for sun protection, was really an extra functional room for us - we used it every day. It has a small area before the road, so you feel some isolation from others and it is peaceful. I had originally wanted to stay closer to the Saguaro National Park, but we drove to the NP one day and I think the trails right out the back door of this unit are as good as those in the National Park as long as you want to hike a bit. As a side note, we don't golf, but there is ready access to 3 9-hole courses, and the key cards worked for the pool that we would have used if we were traveling with our kids when they were young that also included access to a weight room with a wide range of machines but no free weights. We would stay here again if we were traveling back to the Tucson area!

Great location Great Host
Casita located within 1/4 mile of Starr Pass trailhead, access to pool which is hardly used, short walk to shuttle up the hill to another set of trails and access to resort restaurants….. for an active family it was a perfect place to stay for a week. 15 minutes from downtown to hip eateries and city bike rides… couldn’t ask for ease of access Host very responsive and addressed all items with cheer and urgency.

We enjoyed seeing birds, deer and javelinas off the patio. Quick walk to the pool and golf shop. Unfortunately the hot tub wasn’t hot, but not the owners issue. No bbq or fireplace available so plan cooking accordingly. The unit is super clean too.

Missing Melanie's casita already!
The casita was perfect for our 10-day stay in Tucson. First, its location in Starr Pass is ideal - close to downtown and yet removed from all that busy activity, and peaceful and packed with views and walking or hiking opportunities. We were able to swim each day in the Starr Pass pool., just a couple of minutes' walk. When we didn't feel like traveling downtown, we walked to the Catalina grill. Many days we ate breakfast on the very private patio at the casita, which provided lovely sunrise views. Melanie has decorated the casita so thoughtfully and comfortably, not with cast-off furniture or broken dishes, but with furnishings and dishes specially chosen for the Southwest experience. We really were able to move in and relax. Will definitely return. Thank you, Melanie, for providing such an ideal experience for us.

Relaxing stay
The property was easy to find, and a great location for cycling, running and swimming in the pool at star pass golf club. Pool was quite chilly, but we were able to get them to do swipe card for access for length of stay. Property was not cheapest in this area, but be aware some are only renting out half a condo. Kitchen had everything we needed, comfortable beds and a decent hot shower.

Cancel policy 60 days notice? I stayed from September 1 to October 31. I tried to cancel October and reply was 60 day notice giving me no chance to cancel. Owner bought two new chairs bc sitting on wood chairs for two months or two days is uncomfortable. Buying cheap chairs acknowledges that. We would never rent this place again. Foam beds awful cheap
