Access:
As our guests, you`ll enjoy full access to the entire property and all its amenities, ensuring a private and luxurious experience. From the vibrant living spaces to the outdoor pool and hot tub, every corner of our desert retreat is yours to explore and enjoy. In addition to the main living areas, you will have access to the entire fenced backyard. The home features a garage for one car and a driveway that can accommodate up to three cars.

Contactless, 24/7 Check-In:
For your convenience, we offer a completely contactless check-in experience. You’ll receive a unique front door code 2 days prior to arrival, allowing for secure, easy entry at any time—day or night.

Guest Portal:
Your guest portal puts everything you need in one place, including property details, local things to do, and helpful house instructions. You can also access the front door lock and control the AC thermostats directly inside the portal, making your stay smooth and stress-free.

Management:
Our property is expertly managed by Rather Be Properties, and we’re committed to making your stay enjoyable and seamless. Our team is available daily from 9 AM to 9 PM to assist with any questions or requests. You can easily reach us through the Vrbo app, by phone, or email. For any urgent issues after hours, we also offer a 24-hour emergency line, ensuring support at any time during your stay.

Family-Friendly Comfort:
As parents ourselves, we understand the challenges of traveling with little ones, so our space is thoughtfully designed for young families! We provide Pack `n Plays with crib sheets and a high chair for added convenience, along with pool and bath toys to keep the kids entertained. Enjoy kid-friendly dishware, including plastic plates, bowls, cups, sippy cups, and utensils. Plus, there’s a selection of books, games, and puzzles for family fun time together.

Pet-Friendly Accommodations:
We welcome one dog only (up to 60 lbs) for a fee of $150 per stay. This fee helps cover the additional cleaning required for pet hair. If any waste beyond hair (such as urine or feces) is found, an additional $200 cleaning fee will be charged. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pet, and dogs should not be left unattended in the home, as barking may disturb neighbors. Please note: Dogs are not allowed in the pool. Please let us know if you are traveling with a dog

Pool heater:
The pool heating system uses a significant amount of natural gas, so activating it incurs a daily fee of $125 (plus tax). This fee will be billed prior to your arrival if you request pool heating.

Hot Tub:
The hot tub is included in your nightly rate and can be easily heated using the backyard controls. Please allow up to 2 hours for it to reach 100-102°F, depending on the outside temperature. If you’d like the hot tub warmed up before your arrival, feel free to message us in advance, and we’ll be happy to turn it on for you!

Maintenance:
For your convenience, our pool technician visits on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday sto ensure the pool is clean. Our landscaper services the property on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month. Trash service is provided on Friday mornings with a walk-up collection. These services are scheduled to enhance your stay and are designed not to disturb you.

Desert Living:
Our home is located in the beautiful Coachella Valley desert, where sand and leaves may occasionally blow into the pool, especially on windy days. While our pool cleaners work diligently to keep it clear, we’ve provided skimmers for your convenience should you wish to remove any leaves or sand yourself. Our new, taller fence should help reduce this significantly.

Fabulous home

We loved our week long stay at this home. It was exactly as the pictures and description said it would be. Everything was clean and the swimming pool was perfect. The kitchen was well equipped. We were a group of 4 ladies in our 60's and 70's and we had a fantastic time. I would not hesitate to recommend this house to anyone looking for a desert stay.

Very Nice Stay

Communication with the host was easy as was check in. The furnishings are chic, the linens nice and the beds were comfy. Shower was hot with great water pressure. Hot tub and pool were great. Quiet neighborhood. Well stocked kitchen. Bear in mind the washer and dryer are in the garage. There is also no closet in the primary bedroom for guests. The house is super close to airport and train tracks as well as freeway. Noise did not bother us but might others. The floors were pretty dirty and there are sort of half completed projects throughout but they did not impact our stay. Heads up the pool service arrives at 6 am. Though quiet our dogs heard them. We enjoyed our 14 day stay at the property.

Bermunda Dunes Trip

My husband and I had to take a last minute trip to the CV for family business. Even on short notice, we were able to find this rental in the perfect location, close to my sister and close to the various facilities we would be visiting. The check-in could not have been easier, the property was clean and well-furbished and Elissa was extremely responsive and helpful with any questions that we had.

Literally perfect -

Everything about this place is perfect. The location - the weather is just so good. This is the easy part. The hosts are amazing at what they do. Really top notch. The place itself is perfectly clean and has all the amenities one could need or want that I can think of. I absolutely love the saltwater pool - I find it so much better than a chlorine pool. I loved the spa, as well as the outside grill that is connected to natural gas. The beds were super comfortable as well. The showers are strong. Just perfect.

Beautiful home and wonderful host!

From the moment we inquired about this property the communication was incredible. Elissa responded to anything we asked within minutes. The check-in process was simple, and the home was beautifully decorated and equipped. Loved the little extras such as toothbrushes, facial wipes etc in case you forget something. The pool and hot tub were a definite hit with the family and the neighbourhood was quiet and safe. Would definitely stay here again or at any of Elissa's properties! Thank you so much!

Fun Family Getaway

Let me start by saying, Elissa the owner was amazing to communicate with! She was so helpful and quick to respond with my inquiries. The house was a perfect size for our family of 5, two goldies and still had plenty of room for more. The beds were comfy, the decor was cute and clean. The backyard was perfect for hanging out by the pool, swimming, lounging, playing games and taking pics. There are lots of pool toys to play with and floats to relax on, which was so nice and convenient to have. The house is in a quiet neighborhood but you can have music outside and enjoy yourself, which is a huge must for us. The location is only 10 mins drive away from old town La Quinta, and there’s lots of restaurants, groceries store, coffee, and gas near by. Thanks for being such a great host!
