We had the most comfortable, relaxing stay at the Casa de la Tortuga! The large pool is glorious after half a day in the hot sun exploring nearby Joshua Tree National Park. And in the evening, when it cools down, the hot tub (which is very hot!) is a wonderful place to stargaze. The house is well appointed and very clean, with all the extras you'd expect from a hotel, like k-cup coffee, individually wrapped tooth brushes w/toothpaste, fluffy white towels and designated pool towels. Beds are comfy and have nice sheets and comforters. We loved the proximity to JT National Park (one turn and then about 5 miles straight down the road), downtown Twentynine Palms (the cool part), and all the fun art in Wonder Valley (4 miles down the highway). The internet is fast and reliable, if you need to work like my husband did. I loved having doors that open directly out to the pool from the primary bedroom. Almost forgot--the gas firepit out back is wonderful to gather around and easy to use. You really don't have to leave the backyard to have a great time... but you should take advantage of the easy access to everything that this house offers!
