The Starr Pass Golf Suites Resort Tucson offers studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom condo vacation rentals. These are arranged as “lock-off” units, which means the studio and 1 bedroom are side-by-side, have a lockable door, and can either be used together or as separate condos.

Call or email NOW for 2013.  We can get your exact dates (minimum stay 1 week)  if you book early enough.  Our 2013 prices are 20% below the lowest price offered by the resort (which is a non-changeable, non-refundable rate).  The resort’s current 2013 showtime nonrefundable advance purchase rates are $1081 per week (studio) and $1350 per week (1BR).  Nightly rates vary somewhat (weekends are higher than weekdays).

Therefore, our current (last updated January 15, 2012) weekly 2013 rates are $865 (studio) and $1080 (1BR).  Rates are subject to change if the resort rates change; rates will also be higher for stays longer than one week (please ask for a price).
