About this property

8 Steps to Resort! 92 All 5* Reviews/Remodel 2 Masters/2 Patios/31 Day Min.

ALL REVIEWS 5*! Everything you could possibly want is available at this fully equipped Home Away from Home. Initially rented exclusively through La Quinta Resort Leasing, this home has all premium upgrades the Resort requires. This very special 2 Master Bedroom floor plan with great separation of bedrooms offers everything needed for the perfect getaway.


Enter through your front gate, which faces the Resort, and walk through your lushly appointed walkway, romantically lit with solar lights in the evening. Pick juicy grapefruits and lemons
from your own trees. Enjoy a game of backgammon on your Bistro Table, relax with friends in your sitting area and enjoy the bubbling fountain: music to your ears! Relax out here, especially on evenings during the Season, and privately enjoy live outdoor music from the Resort. Listen to Alexa inside or out! Set up music to the Bluetooth spreaker.

The remodeled, fully stocked kitchen is light and bright thanks to the new solar light with solar night light, (there are 5 throughout the home) and a kitchen door that opens to your lush front entertaining patio. The kitchen has all new appliances, Keurig coffee maker, milk frother, 4 slice toaster, electric wine opener, Vitamix and so much more! Entertain in style: the Dining Room table seats 8 with an extra leaf in the guest closet and extra chairs at the desk in each bedroom. Full charging station with plugs for phones, iPads etc.

The Living Room has two recliner chairs (each reclines two
positions!) and genuine leather couch, (both sides recline), to enjoy your favorite movie or show on your large, wall-mounted flatscreen TV. Cable, Wifi, Internet, Sports channels, DVD player, and Universal Remote and Sound Bar included. The center console holds all types of books, games, cards, and coloring books, and the coffee table will always have many choices of current magazines. Create a romantic setting with the many candles provided, the cozy fireplace, a large assortment of pillows, even a picnic basket - wine glasses included!

Open your sliding glass door to your own patio with lovely mountain views, divided on both sides from neighboring homes. Enjoy meals cooked on your new gas grill and curl up with a good book or magazine on one of the new pillowed loungers.

The Master Bedroom Suite is complete with a wall-mounted flatscreen TV, stocked end tables with drawers, iHome charger alarm clock radios, down pillows, vibrating back rest, large dresser, and an assortment of suitcase holders. Make yourself at home with plush robes (cool summer and warm winter) for your lounging pleasure. There is also a desk and chair in case there's work to be done - but we hope you're just writing postcards with "Wish you were here!!" The remodeled Master Bath has limestone countertops, new faucets and sinks, newly painted cabinets and hardware, a second oversized closet, a glass-surrounded soaking tub, and dual headed shower with hand held attachment. A basket of bathroom goodies will be provided in both bathrooms. The linen closet in the Master suite contains extra pillows, towels, sheets, softy blankets, a heating pad, chaise lounge cover, neck massager, electric rollers and - our in-home spa favorite! - a paraffin tub, with wax and gloves!

The second remodeled Master Suite has the same upgraded features as well as a gorgeous view of the front patio. Open your windows and let the fountain lull you to sleep. All windows
are screened, and both the front and kitchen doors have disappearing screen doors.

The laundry room is located between the two bedrooms.
Laundry soap, fabric softener, stain removers, Oxyclean, (including WineOut, our personal life-saver!), dryer sheets, and extra towels are provided. There is a new iron, ironing board, and a steamer. There are extra light bulbs and cleaning supplies stocked. The linen cupboard in the hallway includes beach towels, extra towels, lounge chair towel holders, visors, 😎 sunglasses and more games.

The garage has four (4) bikes with locks, two with baskets, pool toys, floats, lawn games, tennis rackets and balls, golf clubs and balls as well as extra cooking utensils, crockpot, turkey cooker, electric skillet, griddle, Vitamix etc. This is YOUR HOMEAWAY FROM HOME!!

Comfortable space, hotel-like amenities, close to restaurants on property

We stayed here over the Thanksgiving holiday and had a great time. The beds are very comfortable and the space is a well-stocked home. Hotel-like amenities and across the way from a great pool. Kathleen was very communicative and made sure we were all set. Excellent hospitality. Will stay again!

Favorite Place to Stay

By far the best place to stay and Katie has done an amazing job providing all the comforts of home! We rarely eat out and rely on having a well stocked kitchen—not only with pantry supplies but cooking supplies—completely meets this requirement! Have stayed here multiple times and never disappointed. Looking forward to returning again (soon!).

A wonderful place to stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. It was spotlessly clean and I have never stayed anywhere that had everything you could need! The location was fantastic and the townhouse was perfect for four adults. Communication with Katie was fantastic and it’s clear that she really wants to make sure anyone who stays in your property has a wonderful holiday. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Comfy Getaway

This Unit is lovely and in a great location. It has been recently renovated so it's very clean and nicely decorated. There are welcoming touches such as comfy hotel robes and towels in both bathrooms. The kitchen is well organized and easy to operate. The owners are equally as nice and easy to work with.

Home away from home

We had a lovely stay at this property. It was spotlessly clean, beds were very comfy. Overall, it was the best equipped rental yet. Very thoughtful touches throughout, even a stocked fridge upon arrival with breakfast items etc. for the morning. We were very comfortable here. Loved the bikes to tool about and the close proximity to the resort. Highly recommended! Thank you Kathleen.

La Quinta Retreat

The purpose of our trip was to relax and enjoy the delicious sun! And did we! The home was amazingly comfortable, very clean and we loved the little things and attention to detail to make sure our stay was great! We will be back for sure! We enjoyed the pool, the patios, rode the bikes and met some great neighbors! Thank you Kathleen for everything! You were the best!

Beyond expectations

The unit itself is so pretty and so well designed, warm, welcoming and comfortable, the photos don’t do it justice, we really didn’t want to leave. Pool so close by, everyone adhered to safe social distancing, and the unit was thoroughly cleaned and I felt safe bringing my kids there. Host was very communicative and accommodating. Highly recommend.

PERFECT LOCATION in LA QUINTA

Katie's property is a 6 STAR location maybe even 7 STARS if either were possible. If you are looking at properties in the La Quinta area, it would be YOUR absolute loss not to rent this location. Over the years I have had the pleasure staying at many rental locations and I have never experienced the level of detail or warmth as I did at this rental property. She has set up the property to feel like you are staying at a friends or families La Quinta condo, not VRBO.

Beautiful Oasis

My husband and I brought our 3 teenage daughters and 10 yr old son for a weekend away. We all had such a great time! I have never found such gracious hospitable owners. They were fantastic! Our kids loved riding the bikes they provided, playing tennis, swimming, hot tubbing and much more! The grounds are beautifully taken care of and our 10 year old loved playing catch on the grass. It was just the most relaxing weekend.

Outstanding condo

Our stay here was over the top. Kathleen has amazing attention to detail. She provided everything we could possibly need in the way of kitchen wares, linens, a welcoming ambiance, labelled shelves, and arrival foods. She also made herself available by text in case we had questions. The grounds are pristine and quiet. We made good use of the pool which was visible from the rear patio. We're looking forward to a return stay.

About the host

Hosted by Rick and Kathleen (Katie) Hawkes

Host profile image
Hi, we are Rick and Kathleen (Katie) Hawkes. We live and work in San Diego and have been coming to the desert since we were both children. We have been married for 36 years. We have two children, a daughter and a son. I sell Real Estate and my husband is a General Contractor. We built our home in Elfin Forest and live on a 3 acre farm complete with a pig and chickens and a garden that will take your breath away. We absolutely fell in love with La Quinta on our first visit. Owning this condo has been a dream come true. We so want your every need to be fulfilled at our home. Let us know if there is anything missing and I'll bet the next time you stay it will be there! Making our guests happy makes us happy!

Why they chose this property

First of all, Santa Rosa Cove is the only place I know where you can live at a resort. The first weekend we came we never drove anywhere. We walked to the resort for coffee and bagels or breakfast in the morning and enjoyed one of the fabulous restaurants at night. We took walks, rode bikes, hit balls on the resort putting green, played in one of the many pools and enjoyed the live music at the resort in the evening.

What makes this property unique

We looked at many condos before choosing this one. The location and the peace and quiet were what sold us. Literally steps to the main waterfall fountain area allows us to walk out our door and watch a beautiful wedding unfold. We also loved the healthy fruit trees and climbing bougainvillea welcoming you in to the front patio. I love the high ceilings in the living and dining rooms. I added Sola tubes in the kitchen, dining and family room as well as the hallway and master bath. I recently added solar night lights inside the Sola tubes so the house is never dark accept the bedrooms at night when you pull down your blackout shades. The separation of bedrooms is wonderful. One of my favorite things is the door in the kitchen that opens to the front patio. Not many of these condos have this feature. I also like this location because it's just steps to the nearest pool. I wanted to be close to the pool but not hear the noise from the pool area. We chose this condo because it is set back from both neighbors and we view the fabulous mountains and a greenbelt instead of a walkway, which gives lots of privacy. Our views do not include any streets.
