We enjoyed the community and its amenities.The unit we rented however is in need of a deep cleaning and replacement of kitchen supplies as they are not in good condition.The interior of the home needs carpet cleaning and/or replacement and is badly in need of painting.The refrigerator needs filters replaced and several of the window blinds are broken. Exterior of the home is very dirty and in need of pressure washing of the patio and garage floors. The artificial grass is matted and very dirty.I would not rent this unit again until it is refurbished.The unit is decorated nicely but the furniture is old and not very comfortable. The accent pillows are dirty and we had to wash throw blankets and the bathroom rug before using them.

My wife and I were in La Quinta for the Ironman event. The place we stayed at was excellent! The location was great, and all of the comforts and amenities were provided. Great beds, a well appointed kitchen, clean bathrooms with an abundance of towels. I could go on, but the best part of our stay? The pool and hot tub, hands down!

Wonderful place for a getaway retreat. The condo has everything you need. And the backyard really was a nice oasis to hang out and enjoy the sun. The garage parking was too small for my large SUV, but parking in front of the garage is available so it wasn’t an issue. The gated front entrance made us feel secure as well. Overall would def recommend
