About this property

PrivateParadiseMountainViewsPoolPets Cathedral City, BLIC-001382-2022

We welcome you to our little piece of Paradise!!

This inviting and private 1360 square foot home is located on a large cul-de-sac lot near the top of Cathedral City Cove. The Cove, a beautiful hillside neighborhood, is well known for it’s star-gazing skies (no street lights allowed) and incredibly tranquil and quiet nights. There are 3 beautifully furnished bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a large private backyard with 8ft deep pool and picturesque views of the Santa Rosa Mountains.

The living room is complete with plush furnishings, large flat screen TV and DVD with Netflix, Pandora etc. access. The fully equipped dining and Kitchen area has everything the gourmet or casual cook needs with easy access through french doors to the pool and backyard. There are ample linens and towels for inside and outside use.

The Master: Amenities include a plush pillow top California King, ample dresser and night stand space, private bathroom and separate entry from/to the pool area as well as flat screen television with DVD player.

The Double: This double-size room (originally was a 4 bedroom) includes two Full pillow-top beds, long dresser and tall chest of drawers and ample closet space. Sliding glass doors open to the rear porch sitting area overlooking desert landscaping.

Queenie: The 3rd bedroom boasts a Queen pillow top bed and ample storage for the second couple or older siblings.

The oasis like backyard features rose bushes, palm trees, desert vegetation and a refreshing saltwater pool. A covered lanai, season changing lawn and elevated rear deck surrounds the swimming pool with expansive mountain views that change hourly and afford spectacular starry nights. There are pool amenities, loungers, patio chairs, tables, and a covered eating area.

The home is conveniently located south of Highway 111 between Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage. The location is perfect…close to everything...yet away from it all!! Access to miles of hiking trails lined with native cactus, smoke trees and fragrant wild desert sage without getting having to get in the car.

Within a very peaceful hillside environment, it's still only 10 minutes away from Palm Springs and Palm Desert. A short drive and you have access to movie theatres, including an IMAX, shopping, restaurants, golf courses and Palm Springs International Airport. The Joshua Tree National Park, Aerial Tramway, Cabot Pueblo Museum, Palms to Pines Drive and Aqua Caliente Indian Canyons are all a 1 hour or less drive away.

Fewer than 5 miles away -- less than a 10 minute drive is Palm Springs' Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort, recently rated “One of the Best Places to Play” by Golf Digest. A plethora of additional public and private Golf courses are nearby as well as Tennis Courts, Sports and Fitness activities and many excellent Delis and Restaurants!

Please note, due to the city no longer allowing short term vacation rentals as of 1/1/2023, beginning October 2022 we'll no longer be able to offer the house as a short term vacation rental. Rentals will need to be 30 or more days. We look forward to welcoming you and your family for long term stays.

Relaxing and Spacious

This place is great and the owners and managers were a delight to work with. I feel like the photos don't do the house justice as the house, patio and yard are larger than I had expected. My family had such a great time and we look forward to staying here again.

Well done and we’ll equipped

The house is back away from the hubbub. This was great for us as an extended family of early to bed folks. Probably not the place for party types though. The house is well furnished and well equipped. The kitchen has everything you might want. The pool is lovely and comes equipped with pool toys. Although the house is not large it is well laid out and accommodated 4 adults and 2 little kids nicely. Kudos to the owner! Well done!

Hope to come back again next year!

This was a great and relaxing stay! Everything was very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the cooking utensils that we needed. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Only two things. A heads up about the pool guy would be nice. Both times he came by was very startling, especially since I was not expecting him the 2nd time. The water ran lukewarm after about the 2nd or 3rd day. Other than that everything was perfect!

Cathedral City Vacation

The accommodations were just fine. The kitchen was well organized and easy to work in. The bathrooms bedroom and linen were clean and comfortable. The furniture was very comfortable. The pool area offered excellent privacy. We felt very safe and comfortable using it. The clothes washer and dryer were clean and very easy to use. The television was way over complicated (too many remotes!). We were never able to access local stations. Internet access was fast, easy to use and secure. Overall a very pleasant week!

Serene get away

House had everything we needed. Management co/ person very friendly and helpful when we arrived. Pool was a great size for my 12 year old(s) and 10 year old. Stores and restaurants were very close but far enough that you can enjoy the peace of the home. We even found what we think was a baby quail hopping around the backyard!

Great home away from home

My family and I had a fantastic stay. We rented this home last year and had to come back. We had everything we could possibly need. The property manager’s have always been super helpful and friendly. The only thing that I could suggest to the owners is that the mattresses need to be replaced and another fan in the double bedroom, since that’s the hottest room in the house in the afternoon. Having said that, we look forward to coming back in the future. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Girls weekend get away

Was looking forward to an amazing girls weekend get away with a simple staycation. Beautiful home in Cathedral City, house looked like pictures. Many recent up grades, but had quite a few problems the thermostat was locked was unable to go any lower than 76. Had it set to 76 the internal house temp never once reached that temp lowest it got was 85. I live in a house with central ac/heating, we are staying in a house in the middle of the desert at the peak of summer we should be able to control the ac/heating. At one point error message came on the ac unit so was unable to run so turned on swamp cooler but had issues with that as well. Contacted the property manager about the issues he ended up coming out and trying to see what the issues were wasn’t able to fix them. Other issues was the fridge never kept cold, food was starting to go bad in fridge the freezer worked not fridge side, the carbon monoxide alarm started beeping randomly due to low battery. The room with the double beds was the hottest room so hot no one can sleep in there comfortably. Ended up buying a fan because so hot in house. I suggest an up grade in ac/heater and allow future guest to control the climate inside the house.

We stayed for 5 nights and had a fantastic time. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and other items. Lots of fun pool stuff provided including floats, noodles, etc. Board games were also available. The owners were so kind and flexible and the property manager was very helpful.
