Desert Retreat with Pool, Spa, and Total Privacy 3 Bed, 2 Bath

A clean-lined, elegant, understated getaway with 3 bedrooms (3 California King beds and 1 sofa bed in the Living Room) with 2 bathrooms close to everything you could ever want in the desert. Private heated pool and spa, mountain adjacent with great views and plenty of places to lounge.

Feel free to reach out to me via text or phone if you have any questions about possible events and dates.

The house is very centrally located and there are great restaurants, trails and fun biking routes nearby to discover.

In addition to the many restaurants and the movie theater within walking distance, there are lots of great outdoor activities (golf, tennis, etc.).

In terms of sporting options in addition to our pool and spa, we have both a Bocce Court and Horseshoe Pit on the property.

Fantastic Stay

Property was clean, well stocked and updated. Bedrooms were great with comfortable beds. Location is excellent as it's within walking distance to many stores and restaurants. Star of the show is the backyard. Great pool and fantastic areas to lay in the sun or escape from it. Minor negative item is the property description. House has 4 bedrooms not 3. The outside cameras should be mentioned (backyard one turned off for our stay) as well as the sound monitoring (not recording) devices installed outside and inside. Overall had a wonderful stay and hope to visit the property again.

Comfortable desert home

Kitchen was extremely well stocked, knives were probably the best we have ever had, toaster was very mediocre, overall interior of house was fine. Outdoor space was great, fantastic pool. No outdoor dining table was a negative. Communication with property manager was outstanding as we had some issues with pool and spa controls.

6-week stay in La Quinta

My wife and I and our 7guests (2-4 at a time) thoroughly enjoyed the house. The online description and pictures are fully accurate (although the house has 4 bedrooms while the write-up says 3 in some places). All of the bedrooms are comfortable with excellent large beds. Storage in the bedrooms is adequate (closets or dressers, but not both). The kitchen is very well stocked with dishes, glassware, pots and pans and utensils. Appliances appear quite new. The bathrooms are small but clean, well-lit and the showers great. Plenty of hot water.Perhaps the best feature of the property is the large yard. It has multiple seating areas, a pool and hot tub and a large barbecue. The nearby rock cliff (about 100 feet away to the west) provides a dramatic and very attractive background. That rock wall does block the sun starting in the mid-afternoon (around 2:30 PM in February), which is probably a blessing given the warm temperatures. The owners provide twice-weekly pool and spa cleaning and yard maintenance.The location is outstanding. The house is close to Hwy 111 and to Washington Street, both of which provide an abundance of stores and restaurants, but far enough away that guests hear no traffic noise. The neighborhood safe, quiet and attractive. We would definitely rent this house again.

This place is spectacular!

As soon as I saw this listing, I knew it would be the perfect place for my daughter and her friends to stay and celebrate her 18th birthday for the weekend in the Palm Desert area. The house is beautiful and has everything you will need. It is close to everything but feels quiet and secluded. Communication and responses from the property manager were prompt and very helpful. 10/10 - this will be our first choice the next time we want to stay in the area.

Great Stay in La Quinta

This is a great location with close access to many services and a 5 minute drive to Old Town La Quinta. Kitchen was well stocked and outside area is very nice and expansive. Could use a bit more storage options and night lamps in bedrooms. But we loved our time here and will likely be back.

My husband and I stayed in this fantastic desert retreat for 5 weeks. The house is beautiful and so accommodating for family gatherings. The grocery stores are an easy walk away. The large yard and pool were amazing. We loved the view of the mountains! Skip was always accessible if we had any questions. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

I can’t say enough good things about the host, Skip, or the house. In times of Covid, our bubble took a “staycation” in a house that was not our own, and it was awesome. This house was plenty big for 5 of us, with the outside being our main hang location. Skip was a pleasure to deal with from day 1. We are hoping to make this an annual vaca spot.
