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.

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.

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.

Home Away From Home
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!

The house was amazing! We were in the pool all day and then when it cooled down we played the horseshoes and bocci game in the yard! Would definitely go back again and the owner Skip was available for anything. Great trip with family and friends!

Amazing house!
We had such a fabulous trip and loved staying at this property. The house is beautiful, the yard and pool were amazing. We loved hanging out day and night at the pool and using the hot tub. The beds were all so comfortable. The location is great too! Great food and things to do all in close proximity. When we come back to Palm Springs we can’t wait to stay here again!

Amazing Thanksgiving Stay
We had such a wonderful time staying here and celebrating Thanksgiving and my moms 80th birthday. . There was plenty of space for our family of 6. The outdoor area is amazing with plenty for all of us to do. Lovely sitting areas, fire pit, pool, bocce ball etc. Skip was always accessible if we had questions and made our stay vey easy. We definitely hope to stay here again. It was perfect!

So Much Awesomeness
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.

Perfect House for a Group
This home was amazing! Our group was 10 adults and we fit comfortably in the house (2 on air mattresses). The home is fresh and clean, and the outdoor area is to die for. Mountain views, hot tub, pool, bocce ball, horseshoes, fire pit - it was all incredible. The info booklet provided by the owner made using all the equipment in the house a breeze. We had the wrong door code when we arrived, but Skip was immediately responsive and helped us get in right away. He was extremely easy to communicate with and understanding of our changing travel plans. The location was close to tons of restaurants, grocery stores, and activities. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks, Skip!

This place was JUST the getaway we needed..
I cannot say enough great things about this rental.. The house is beautiful and situated in a quiet neighborhood, but is within either walking distance or a short Uber to lots of great shopping, restaurants, etc. Coming from Canada in Jan/Feb we were THRILLED to be able to use the pool (fabulous) and hot tub, and the weather was warm enough for us to lay around and get some sun during the day and go out in the evenings. It was great - thanks Skip!!

Perfect family getaway house.
House was spacious and worked perfectly for 7 adults and 2 children. Pool and spa were the highlight of the trip and they received a lot of use. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of pots, pans and utensils. We appreciated the kitchen and laundry appliances. We played a lot of bocce. Really nice location. Liked having the mountain beside the place. The owner was proactive and responsive. Clear instructions on how to use the spa, access cushions, TV etc. Close enough to the centre of La Quinta, but plenty of grocery stores nearby. Easy access everywhere, whether to Palm Springs, Indian Wells, La Quinta, or Joshua Tree. Very close to the tennis centre at Indian Wells. We would return in a heartbeat.

Love it!
Was in the area for the Ironman 70.3. Quiet neighborhood, beautiful mountain view. Perfect location for our needs and a great home base for two families to relax together. House was very clean and organized inside. Access to the garage a big plus. Great yard & pool (with pool noodles and floaties!). So nice to have eight dining room chairs so we could all sit together while eating meals and playing board games. Already thinking about when we can get back.
