Nice option in palm desert

My wife and I stayed in this condo for 31/2 months and totally enjoyed it. As with many other properties on this community they are showing their age. This one in particular while very clean, has a bit of a quirky layout. Access from the garage to the condo is a bit strange in that you cannot lock the sliding doors from the outside so you need to walk around the building to unlock the front door. No biggie though. Overall, aside from this condo needing a reno, we totally enjoyed it and would recommend it gladly. The complex is nice and the pools, and tennis/pickleball courts are fine. It’s location is top notch. The host responded quickly to the few questions we had. We did not end up taking our dog so I cannot comment on that possibility, except to say that the patio are is enclosed unless your pet is small, in which case it would get out under the gate. Again we would totally recommend this unit to all travelers!

Desert Court Bliss

One of our best experiences renting via VRBO. Everything was as advertised and the owner was very responsive to (small) issues, like a fridge light. Loved the unit, loved the condo community, and loved the area.

Exactly what I needed

My stay here was exactly what I was looking for. It's just 3 minutes from the 111 main strip and El Paseo but you still feel it's your own private getaway. The patio is situated so that you don't share it with anyone and the view is of beautiful pine trees and the valley below. Definitely your own private space. The home was well equipment and very clean. The owner Laura is absolutely awesome. She answered my questions quickly. The two car garage is an definite plus for me. I will definitely stay here again. Thank you Laura for having this home available.

Needs Update

Great location, but property needs updating. Configuration of entry required us to walk through wet grass in the morning and evening. The pool and spa were clean right across the street and usually had no one in them. Owners were easy to work with and provided all required information in a timely manner.

Perfect Condo for our family

We had an absolutely wonderful time in the Condo. It suited our small family perfectly. The location was fantastic, walking distance to the living desert. Within the quiet gated complex there was a great pool just out the front door. The condo was fully stocked and equipped with everything you would need for cooking. Updated and fresh towels and bedding. A wonderful home away from home. Will be requesting to stay at this place again.

Spring Break stay

Unit was great for our family of four during our week long stay for spring break. Everything you really needed was close by (Costco, Walmart, mall, many restaurants and grocery stores) and many fun things to do nearby. We visited Joshua Tree National Park, the flee market on the weekend, went to the Thursday night street fair in Palm Springs, walked across the street one day to visit the Living Desert Zoo, jogged outside the gated community which was pleasant, used two of the four pools on many occasions which was mostly unoccupied the times we used it. Unit was stocked w/ the things we needed, plenty of extra towels, bedding, well stocked kitchen in order to cook, washer/dryer, BBQ grill, pool toys, etc. We enjoyed using the nice open patio area for barbecuing and enjoying the scenery and weather. I am somewhat of a picky person and there really wasn't anything for us to complain about. Laura was responsive with any of our questions. Would consider staying again.

Host profile image
My husband and I use this condo as a getaway from our busy lives in San Diego. We have two young kids and do not get there as often as we like anymore. It is time for us to give others an opportunity to experience the LOVE we have for the desert and especially this gem.

Why they chose this property

If you want serenity in the desert with an easy low-key, minimal stress lifestyle then this location is ideal for you. It is a hidden gem in the desert!
