We came for an event at the Polo fields and it was perfect location. The house was super clean and in a very nice neighborhood. The pool and jacuzzi were clean and nice and warm! The guest house was a great experience as well to provide a little more space but nice and close to the main house. We look forward to coming again!

Oasis is a fitting name.
Everything you need for a Palm Desert getaway is located at this property. The salt water pool was a dream for our family. Our son with eczema loved it without any flares. The perfect evening skies dining outdoors under the stars. The house has all the amenities you need. The casa unit was great for our teenager. Close to everything, and a quick jaunt to Joshua Tree.A wonderful family getaway.

This was a girls get a way to wind down after a family wedding. It was perfect ...the pool, hot tub, all the techy things that made access easy...the kitchen was a dream with so many high end gagets (not that we cooked but still...) The location was great - quiet with easy access to local hikes and eateries.

Quick Trip to La Quinta
We stayed here with a toddler, baby, and 7 adults and the house worked out really well for us. Everything was clean, well stocked, and a convenient location in terms of proximity to grocery stores, coffee shop, etc. The property was as described and the pool was great. Communication was a breeze and we were allowed to check in early. I reached out to the property manager who was our point of contact during our stay and she was very friendly and responsive. We had a great experience and would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in La Quinta.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the VBR home Desert Oasis! The house was incredibly clean, well-appointed, and spacious, providing plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. The backyard was a true highlight, with a lovely pool that made it feel like a private retreat.

About the host

Hosted by Scott

Host profile image
Baltimore-native, former Shanghai expat now living in San Francisco.

Why they chose this property

I bought this beautiful desert property in December 2015 to have a private retreat to escape to – especially from the foggy and cool climate of my home in San Francisco. Given that I live in a very urban, crowded location, I was looking for a super private location that I could enjoy with friends and family. From the first moment that my realtor showed me Desert Rock Oasis I knew it met all my requirements.

What makes this property unique

* Extremely private, safe, and quiet property with its own private gate and fence
* Spacious backyard with a large pool and mountain views, space to get the vitamin D sunshine we lack with the fog, and a tropical feeling of lush gardens with palm and fruit trees
* Contemporary and spacious interior with modern amenities able to comfortably host at least 8 people
* Separate, detached (but close enough) guest house for those friends and family you want to give extra space
* Located in a quiet, cul de sac, family friendly neighborhood
* Far enough from the urban hustle and bustle but super close to a wide range of local boutique and chain restaurants and stores (living in San Francisco means chain restaurants are a treat, believe it or not!)
* Close to all the great golf and tennis facilities around the area as well as the many local festivals throughout the year
