Tranquil Indio Escape: close to Coachella and with an Amazing Pool Area!

Welcome to your desert getaway! Just a 9-minute drive from The Empire Polo Club where the Coachella Music Festival and Stagecoach Country Music Festival are held every year. For the golf lover, you’ll love how close you’ll be to all the golf courses! Super close to all the festivities, tennis courts, grocery stores, and tons of restaurants to choose from. The home itself is in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood with a relaxing patio, perfect place to come home to after a long day at the festival or the golf course. The home has everything you need for fun and relaxation. There's a heated pool, hot tub, multiple lounge chairs, fire pit, patio sofa set, patio dining set, BBQ grill, corn hole, ping pong table, etc. In the home there're 4 smart TVs, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and large garage.

FYI:
The indoor dining table sits 8 people at a time (the photos show 6 chairs, but we've added 2 additional chairs to accommodate 8 people), the outdoor dining table sits 6 people at a time, and the living room sofa sits about 6 people at a time. Also just to clarify: bedroom #2 has one bunk bed that has one full sized mattress at the top bunk and one full sized mattress on the bottom bunk (sleeps 2-4 people). As far as supplies: please keep in mind that we are not a hotel - we do not provide unlimited supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, bottled water, condiments, food, etc. We provide some supplies, but not everything you will ever need on your vacation. There are several grocery and drug stores nearby for you to purchase whatever you'll need during your stay.

House Rules:
First and foremost we want you and your tribe to enjoy yourselves during your stay, but we also ask that you please be respectful to the property, be gentle with it, respect the neighbors, and follow our House Rules. Many of these rules should go without saying and should be assumed as common courtesy behavior, but our lawyers strongly encouraged us to communicate these rules clearly in writing.

Signs in the house are an extension of these House Rules.

No parties allowed. No special events, weddings, receptions, and sales events. Quiet time starts at 9pm daily. There shall be no noise from radios, musical instruments, cellphones, bluetooth speakers, loudspeakers, sound amplifiers and “any machine, device or equipment" that creates sound audible outside of the home after 9pm. Violation of any noise ordinances will be subject to fines, loss of deposit, and/or possibly getting kicked out. So please be respectful to the House Rules and the neighbors.

This property has a noise detector (only detects decibel levels, does not record sound or conversations), has a front door video camera, and a video camera above the garage.

No additional guests beyond what was indicated on the reservation.

The main person booking the vacation home must be 25+ years old.

The main person booking the reservation must read and sign a form agreeing to the House Rules immediately after booking.

All the guests must read the House Rules as well and follow them.

Check-in time is 4pm. Check-out time is 11am. Checking in is easy and hassle free. The front door has a keypad.

There are no cancellations and refunds of bookings due to weather or natural disasters.

Locals must contact the Host first before booking.

Please remove your shoes when in the house. Shoes are dirty. Wearing them in the house will make the floors, carpets, and rugs dirty. We want to keep our home as clean as possible. So please help us keep our home clean.

No pets allowed.

No unregistered guests allowed.

No illegal activities allowed.

No prostitution or escort activities allowed.

No stealing anything from the property. We keep a meticulous inventory count of all items inside and outside the property. If you steal an item or items from the property you will have to pay for the replacement value.

No shoes on the carpets and bathroom rugs. And if possible no shoes in the home.

No jumping on the beds. They can get damaged very easily with the right amount of pressure.

No smoking (this includes cigarettes, vape pens, marijuana, and any substance that produces smoke) on the property (this includes inside the home and within 5 feet of the fire pit located at the backyard). This is a smoke-free property. Violation of the no-smoking policy will result in forfeiture of the security deposit, fines, and/or liability for any fire or property damage costs.

Please place all trash items in the garbage containers and place all recyclable items in the recycling bin.

Please do not leave food out too long (more than 2 hours) because it will attract ants. The desert is a natural habitat for them. If possible keep food either sealed, tightly tied up, or in the refrigerator/freezer as much as possible. 

Please do not flush anything down the toilets other than human waste and toilet paper. Flushing anything else down the toilet can cause plumbing issues.

Please do not pour anything down the kitchen and bathroom drains other than water and soapy water. Do not put grease or oil down the drain because it causes plumbing issues.

If you damage something (and/or stain it), you have to pay for it. You (the house guest) are responsible for all damages and stains during your stay.

Please do not set the AC temperature to anything lower than 72 degrees F.

Hot Tub and Swimming Pool: Always turn off the jet bubbles and lights when you’re done using the pool and hot tub. Heating of the hot tub is included in your stay! If you want to heat the pool there is a $75 per day charge. The pool is a very large body of water. So heating it requires a lot of energy. If you have an issue with the pool or hot tub please message us ASAP and we will help you through it. DO NOT change any controls or any valve settings on the pool/hot tub equipment. Doing so will cause the pool and hot tub to not heat and/or to not power off. There is a $100 fee if you tamper with these settings/controls.

Fire Pit: Before using the fire pit read the manual so you know how to operate it. The manual is located on the kitchen counter above the dishwasher. Remove the fabric cover before turning the flame on. Please do not burn anything (do not use the fire pit to light anything on fire). Do not put any liquid and anything onto the fire pit and/or in the fire. Do not smoke anything within 5 ft of the fire pit. Keep anything combustible at least 5 ft or more from the fire pit. When you’re done using the fire pit please always turn it off and turn off the propane gas tank. Do not put the fabric cover back on the fire pit until the fire pit is turned off and you have waited at least 30 minutes for it to cool down.

Please remove trash and clean up any mess made around the pool, in the pool, hot tub, the backyard patio, and the backyard. Sometimes the desert can bring heavy winds, so any garbage left out can be blown to neighbors' yards.

Please do not use the fireplace.

Do not change the refrigerator temp.

Doors: Do not leave any exit doors open. Always keep them locked.

Parking Details: 3-vehicle max. There are 3 spots in the garage/driveway. Plenty of street parking as well.

Smart TVs: Always turn off the TVs when you’re done using them. If you’re not watching TV please turn it off. Do not leave them on for long periods of time if you’re not watching them. If you log into a streaming service please always log out at the end of your stay.

TV Remote Controls: Please leave them on the coffee table (for the living room TV) and the nightstands (for the bedroom TVs).

If you choose to use the inflatable air mattress please do not pop it (or else you will have to pay for a new one, or pay the value of the air mattress of the same make and model). Please do not jump on it. Please put a bed sheet over it before you sleep on it. When you’re done using it, deflate it, fold it up neatly, and put it back in the first hallway closet.

Bunk bed: The weight capacity for the top bunk is 300 pounds. The weight capacity for the bottom bunk is 300 pounds.

Every time you leave the house, always close all the windows, lock all the entry doors, turn off all the lights, turn off the air conditioning, turn off all stove burners and oven, and turn off all the TVs.

At the end of your stay please remove all your food, drinks, and other stuff from the refrigerator and freezer. 

At the end of your stay please remove all trash from the home and place them in the large trash bin (place any paper or cardboard waste in recycling bin).

At the end of your stay please place all soiled (used/dirty) towels and hand towels on the bathroom floor.

At the end of your stay please wash all the dishes you’ve used and place them back in the cabinets where they were before. You may use either the dishwasher or wash by hand.

At the end of your stay please place all furniture (both indoor and outdoor furniture) back to their original positions.

At the end of your stay please turn off all the pool and hot tub lights. Also, turn off the hot tub jets.

At the end of your stay please close all the windows (and lock them), lock all the entry doors, turn off all the lights, turn off the air conditioning system, turn off all stove burners, turn off the oven, turn off all the TVs, and make sure all faucets are shut off.

Huge Disappointment
Ive never been so misled in a rental. I want to warn all future guests. No drinking water/ice and no mention prior to arriving (spent $75 in bottled water/ice) 10 hangers in a 4-bdrm house. Bathroom fans don’t work. 1 hand/face towel per bathroom. 2 rolls of TP/bathroom for a 3 week stay! 2 cup coffee pot for a house that sleeps 10, no paper towels, no BBQ tools, propane tanks for BBQ/fire pit near empty(he did bring full ones next day) Grass/weeds a good month of growth, hot tub barely got to 100 degrees, not 104. Dogs in the backyard howl/bark for 30 min thru-out day. Beds were descent.The kitchen is hardly stocked with essentials. Had togo to Dollar Tree to purchase $50 of standard kitchen stuff to include wine glasses, cookie sheets, bowls, dishwasher pods, PT, garbage bags, etc. No cleaning supplies at all to spruce up the bathrooms within our 3 weeks. The white kitchen sink worn down to black and blue surface. Dishwasher super loud and all inside furniture so uncomfortable!! Outdoor furniture stained, we had to put beach towels down to sit. 6 pool chairs, 1 broken,2 badly stained not cleanable. This house is so run down and barely stocked. it needs a lot of upgrades to charge this kind of money and list it as it is. I’ve never been so embarrassed to have our guests arrive in a place like this. There is so much more that I’d like to say but it only gives me 1500 characters but you get the point. I just don’t know how someone can misrepresent a place so bad.

LeAnn L., Where do you live?

Disappointing
Location was amazing, however most everything else failed to live up to the pictures. Water and ice didn’t work on refrigerator, kitchen garbage didn’t auto open leaving you to have to pry open with fingers and dishwasher was very loud. Master bedroom mattress was not only super uncomfortable but creaked every time moved, ceiling fan didn’t turn on with any switches, and there was also not a working fan in bathroom that had very cheap towels and no washcloths except a black one for your face makeup. The outside was the biggest disappointment with crusted stains on all the cushions to the point my teenage daughter refused to sit in any of the furniture “gross” - it appeared over by fire pit (we didn’t use) that some of those cushions were tore up, and the ping pong net was so old tightening did nothing for sag. While pool chairs (in water) were crusted with dirt, after we cleaned pool and hot tub those were great to use and we were glad for having paid to heat. All the furniture was uncomfortable - really not a great vrbo compared to others have experienced and had been so excited for this visit - lots of roles for little return :(

Great property and pool
We had a wonderful time at this property. The location was great and we loved the pool space. We were very thankful that we paid the extra to have the pool heated at this time of year, despite having some hot days. We spent a lot of time in the pool and hot tub. When we arrived at the home, things were a little dusty from sitting for a while since the last booking, but Gulliver had his cleaning crew sent over promptly to make things right. The property has some nice updates and modern decor that make it feel comfortable and homey. We also appreciated the games provided at the house. I think the addition of a playpen and a few kids toys would make the home even more family friendly, but thankfully we were able to travel with what we needed. We found the kitchen to be well stocked with cooking supplies, but would have appreciated a few more dishwasher tabs, garbage bags and washing machine pods. We’ve stayed at many rentals where supplies were limited, but this was more than we’ve experienced before. We were thankful that the inconveniences we experienced were minor, and we still very much enjoyed our time. I think the property could still use a thorough scrub from top to bottom but we were happy with our stay.

Great stay in Indio
Great location close to the Indian Wells tennis tournament. We loved the 4 bedrooms so we each had our own room! Great backyard even though we didn't have time to use it! Too much tennis and going to all the wonderful restaurants!! Loved having the shampoo, conditioners and lotion in each bathroom! Very clean property!

Great for families
We were a group of 4 adults and 2 children under 10. The side yard was absolutely perfect for playing in and the addition of the lawn games is a fantastic addition! The salt water pool is fantastic and not too deep in the deepest part so perfect for kiddos to do tons of swimming. The hot tub was a gem on those cooler desert evenings:) The house was clean and bright:) It was the perfect size for our group to act as both a home base for busy touristy days a well as lazier days of hanging by the pool. It’s very close to Palm Springs and the surrounding areas with a Walgreens and a small grocery store within walking distance. Costco and Trader Joes are a close drive for food items:) Our host was extremely good with communication, something we very much appreciated! We really enjoyed our stay!

With a few tweaks, this house could be great...
Our stay was fine overall. We were booked at Gulliver's house in November and due to Covid had to cancel the trip. Sadly, he was not amenable to a refund so we spent more money to make the trip happen a few months later. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The master bedroom bed squeaks incessantly at the slightest motion and the ceiling fan is broken. The kitchen is not equipped particularly well for cooking. We bought groceries and used the brand new grill which was awesome but there are no metal grilling utensils, just plastic spatulas. The dishwasher doesn't open all the way due to a design flaw. The pool area is lovely however we were not willing to pay the $75/day fee to heat the pool thus ice cold. There is a nice outdoor propane fire pit which needed a replacement of propane. Gulliver had a tank delivered right away. It is out of Gulliver's control, but the neighbors have a large RV and pontoon boat that loom over the pool area. We have stayed at many VRBOs around the globe. Strap in for lots of rule reading! It seems like Gulliver has had many bad guests given the lack of good will. There are a comical amount of rules posted throughout the house. At this price point, it is unnecessary to ration paper products and tell us not to bring escorts back to the house (this is not a joke...it's in the rules). Gulliver's house is clean and functional but not spectacular.
