Panoramic Views!! Gorgeous 2 bedroom en-suite Casita in Starr Pass.
Casa de Sueños — Desert Views, Resort Access & Starr Pass Serenity
Springtime in the Sonoran Desert is spectacular, and Casa de Sueños places you right in the middle of it. Located in prestigious Starr Pass—just minutes from downtown Tucson—this private hilltop home offers sweeping mountain vistas by day and sparkling city lights by night.
The Casita
Casa de Sueños blends Southwestern charm with modern comfort. Exposed beams, turquoise accents, artisanal furnishings, and a cozy wood‑burning fireplace create an inviting Old Pueblo atmosphere.
-Two Private En-Suites separated by a spacious living area
-Primary En-Suite is furnished with a wrought‑iron Cal king bed, writing desk, spa‑style bathroom with soaking tub + walk‑in shower
-Guest Suite has two comfortable queen beds, full bathroom with shower/tub combo
-Fully furnished kitchen and living spaces with everything you need for a relaxing stay
Outdoor Living
Step onto the patio and you’ll understand why we fell in love with this home. Perched on a corner lot atop a hill, the views are truly unforgettable.
- Panoramic mountain and city‑light views
- JW Marriott sits on a ridge across from the casita
- Perfect for a BBQ, sunrise coffee or sunset cocktails
Resort & Recreation
Starr Pass is home to a world‑class **27‑hole Arnold Palmer golf course**, winding through majestic saguaros. Enjoy a round, then grab a bite at the Catalina BBQ Grill overlooking the greens.
Guests may also reserve day access to the **JW Marriott Resort pools**, including the lazy river, slide, and oversized hot tub (seasonal rates apply through the resort).
Hiking & Nature
If you love the outdoors, you’re surrounded by endless trails. Our favorite is the Lorraine Lee Trail, just up the hill at the JW Marriott—perfect for a morning 1.8‑mile hike followed by breakfast or a spa visit.
Nearby natural attractions include:
- Saguaro National Park West
- Arizona‑Sonora Desert Museum
- Horseback riding in the foothills
- Gates Pass for magnificent sunsets
-San Xavier Mission, The White Dove of the Desert
Location
You’re perfectly positioned between desert beauty and city convenience.
- 10 minutes west: untouched Sonoran Desert, dramatic sunsets, and mountain landscapes
- 10 minutes east: UofA, downtown Tucson’s restaurants, cocktails, live music, and culture
Great day trips:
- Mt. Lemmon (1 hour) — cool off in summer or enjoy snow in winter
- Tubac (40 minutes) — charming Southwestern artisan town
- Nogales, Mexico (1 hour) — bring your passport for a quick border adventure
Your Desert Retreat
Casa de Sueños is our home away from home, and we’re delighted to share it with guests who want to experience the magic of the Sonoran Desert, the warmth of the Southwest, and the peaceful beauty of Starr Pass.

About the host
Hosted by Thelma Gutierrez
Welcome to Casa de Sueños which translates into House of Dreams. If you sit on the patio at sunrise or sunset, you'll know why we chose the name. The desert landscape and horizon changes colors before your eyes. It comes alive in shades of green, blue, pink, purple and red. It is a wonderful spot to find inspiration and peace, or to simply relax...
Of all the places I have traveled to, the Sonoran Desert has my heart. I was born in Tucson and raised near Starr Pass. I am a proud Wildcat, a
U of A graduate who now resides in California.
It was always my dream to return to Tucson, but until we do, we wanted to have a small piece of the desert to go home to... a cozy Casita we'd like to share with you.

Why they chose this property
This property is special because it is located in the area where I grew up, most of my family lives with a mile or so of Starr Pass. The area is absolutely the best because it is tucked away in the foot hills of the Tucson Mountains, yet it's a quick 10 minute drive to the center of town. It's also quiet and a perfect place for star gazing because of a low light ordinance. Perhaps one of the main reasons for choosing this location, is because it is near to an incredible desert trail named after my cousin and mentor, Lorraine Lee, a tireless civic leader in the community. If you visit Starr Pass you'll know "why this property."
What makes this property unique
We loved the layout - the fact that it's on the end, high on a hill, has exposed beams, rustic doors and saltillo tile. It reminded me of my travels through Mexico, complete with the two-toned painted stucco on the exterior! Mainly, I love the location. All it took was walking out to the patio and immediately, I fell in love with the views. On top of that, we're close to the pool, restaurant, gym and tennis courts. I couldn't imagine a better pace to be!
