Just wanted to tell you we had a wonderful stay at your casita – everything was perfect!
The casita is clean, spacious and comfortable – everything we hoped for. We hope to be able to stay again soon!
We played golf at Starr Pass two days and just wandered around another day. We met your caretakers one day and they were charming and helpful.
Thank you again.

Hi Pamela,
We're back home in San Diego and I've notified Emelia that we already left the casita since you have a new guest arriving tomorrow.
We had a great time and you're place is in great shape.
My entire family had a great time at your casita. The view of the golf course and up the mountains was very relaxing. Sitting on the patio we enjoyed watching Quail, and numerous other birds, rabbits, road-runners, and a group of 10-12 javalinas with a couple of youngsters.
Your pillow-top beds are as advertised, very comfortable! We slept great every night. The casita layout works great for 6 adults to spend a weeks vacation. Plus the fully stocked kitchen made it a breeze for cooking.
We'll recommend you're casita to anyone traveling to Tucson, and we'll definitely be in contact the next time we're in the area.
Best wishes,
Steve & Alora

Hi Pam.
We had a wonderful vacation in Arizona visiting our son. Staying at your beautiful casita was the icing on the cake!
Everything we could possible need was there.It truly was the perfect time of year to be there...it was warm, but there was a beautiful breeze daily.
We started each morning on the patio watching the birds come to the bird feeder. A whole family of quails visited us daily, as did a hawk who tried to swoop down and catch one of them. When we used up the seed that was left there, we bought some at Albertson's. I have to say that the birds were not crazy about what we purchased. They would pick through and only take what tasted good.
One evening we had friends over for dinner and made a pork roast on the grill. While we thought that we had cleaned it, some of the smell must have been left. At about midnight we heard what sounded like someone trying to break into the casita. My husband got up to investigate and saw 6-8 javalinas trying to push the grill over. He turned the light on in the patio and the light didn't faze them, but when he shook the blinds they took off.
You can be sure that we will be contacting you again to stay at your place. this was our first experience with VRBO, as well, and I would recommend it to all of my friends.
Thanks again...Joanne B

Emelia and Pamela,
What can we say, but thankyou very much for the wonderful week! Our stay at the casita was more than we expected! We can't believe the week has come to an end so quickly! We spent a lot of time here at the casita relaxing and watching the birds on the back porch (we even bought bird seed and filled up the feeder). The roadrunner was quite entertaining.
The highlight of our stay was going to the Desert Museum, I highly recommend it! We were able to golf three of the days we were here and we also went to the Biosphere 2. We ate most of our meals at the casita, went out for dinner just once.
We've got to get going, I have to be back at work on Monday. We'll drive to San Diego today and be home tomorrow. We'll be on the road by 12:00 noon today, Saturday.
Thank you again for everything!
Ann and Bret

Pam, we would be pleased to have you place our comments in your guest book.
I forgot to mention that a family of quails with eight babies would visit every morning. We bought some bird food to assure their visit was worth while. The next morning the quail family returned with all the little ones still in tow. Your patio is an outstanding place to bird watch.
Pam, we really enjoyed the week we spent at the Owl Casita in Tucson last month. The weather was perfect in the mid 80's and the casita was just the right size to accommodate two couples. The casita proximity to the Starr Pass Golf course afforded us a chance to recover a few of the golf balls we lost during our round.
We are interested in a return visit next spring but have not yet settled on a date. We will check the availability on VRBO and when we finalize on a date I will E-Mail you with the details.
Thank you for the use of a very nice casita in a great location.
Best Regards,
Pam depending on scheduling we may want to rent for a longer amount of time next year. We are still unsure of the dates or duration but will let you know once we decide. Thank you again.
Best Regards, John

The Owl Casita was welcoming, clean, and comfortable.
We had our family come visit us there and it worked out perfectly. When we arrived, the first thing we did was open the front door and the sliding doors and enjoy the clean Tucson air and the wonderful breeze.
The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were spacious and clean. Having the second room with two beds and its own bathroom was the main reason we wanted to stay at the Owl Casita. Also, the easy access from the parking lot was very important. The swimming pool was close by.
We were visited by a javelina the day we left, and I almost literally bumped into one when I took out the garbage the night before. The birds were very active and we enjoyed listening to their songs and to watching out for the cardinals and pyrrhuloxi.

| The casita was perfect. We also needed the king size bed and the 2 separate beds in the 2nd room. We had room to entertain our large family for visits, and then enjoyed the peaceful, quiet evenings. The wildlife is wonderful, and the local amenities can't be beat for the price. Emelia and Paul were great, too. |

We very much enjoyed our stay at Starr Pass.
Starr Pass Owl Casita is very comfortable, convenient and provides all amenities for a delightful time away from home.
We especially enjoyed the fitness/spa.
Having a gas grill on the patio allowed us to eat-in nearly all our evening meals as this is one of our favorite times of the day to relax.
Also enjoyed the golf discounts at Starr Pass and four other courses very much.
We will certainly return for future outings.
Thanks again

Just wanted to thank you for providing Starr Pass Owl Casita for our stay for the two of us. Julie and I had a great time and saw alot of Tucson and more. The St. Xavior Mission was beautiful. Another day, we went to Tubak and enjoyed a super shopping excursion. One day, in Tucson, Designs Unlimited was on our list and I found a gorgous jacket to wear to my granddaughter's June wedding.
Starr Pass Owl Casita was comfortable, well kept, a lovely temporary abode and indeed appreciated. We loved the fact that Friday, there, it was 80 degrees - the end of a warm, beautiful and enjoyable stay!
Thank you for sharing it with us.

Hello!
We enjoyed our stay at Starr Pass Owl Casita very much.
We wanted to stay in a quiet place with nice amenities. Starr Parr Owl Casita fit the description well.
Loved the Beds -- the Bed setup was critically important. We needed a KING + 2 Twins. I am quite tall 6’5” (hence the king size) and our children are 17 boy and 15 girl (so needed 2 twins). The beds were fantastically comfortable. It helped that you specified this.
We wanted a full kitchen for our family so this was great.
Internet connectivity was important. Helped us to find restaurants and theatre in town.
We wanted something on a golf course. We think the golf discount was a great asset.
We wanted to have a local person to call if problems occurred. (Your local folks were fantastic.
Thank you! We'll be back.

(Guests at Starr Pass Owl Casita for over 5 weeks, January 2009)
We had a great time, particularly enjoying the outdoors during this extra warm January.
The casita is nicely laid out and attractive. We enjoyed being on the edge of the park; one morning we had a javelina family for guests and another morning a bobcat, all of whom walked over the terrace.
We would certainly like to be with you next year, same time. (Casita hosts) Emelia and Paul are very attentive to requests and a generally helpful pair.
Please RSVP for the same time period, over 5 weeks, February 2010 --Eric and Caroline, Anchorage, Alaska

WE HAD ONE OF THE BEST VACATIONS OF OUR MARRIED LIVES AT STARR PASS OWL CASITA - WE ENJOYED THE CASITA AS HOME BASE AS WE VISITED ALL THE SITES, CAVES, HIKING SPOTS AND GREAT RESTARURANTS. Cynthia and Kevin and Cooper, Portland, Oregon
KOODOS ON THE BEDS, WE ARE THE MOST DISCRIMINATING OF GUESTS WHEN IT COMES TO COMFY FAB BEDS, AND WHEN WE SANK INTO YOURS WE DID NOT MOVE FROM A GREAT NIGHT'S SLEEP.
AFTER TRAVELING UP TO THE CANYON, WE COULD SCARCELY WAIT TO GET BACK TO OWL CASITA AND ENJOY THE REST OF OUR TRIP.
OUR 5 YEAR OLD LOVED ALL THE ACTIVITY AT STARR PASS, MY HUSBAND QUICKLY FOUND STARBUCKS/MARRIOTT ON HIS GPS PHONE AND WE WERE SET!
THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO! THE MANAGEMENT TOOK GOOD GOOD CARE OF US.
p.s. I AM ALSO THE ARTIST WHO CONTRIBUTED THE OWL MURAL IN THE LIVING, HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY.
