About this property

Renovated mid-century escape, with brand new kitchen and bathrooms.

There is no better location in the desert than a Sandpiper Condo. The saying location, location, location accurately describes the incredible amenities, (most within walking distance), surrounding beauty, the finest conveniences and the resort style living in this condo. No other location in Palm Desert compares, and you will be discover for yourself just how easy it is to rest and relax here. Not to mention world class golf and entertainment throughout the desert, making time spent here truly memorable.

Purchased in the summer of 2014, this condo has undergone a $35, 000 renovation, and is ready for guests. This condo has been redesigned with the vacationer in mind. Upon arrival, you will have the option of using a key or the electronic keypad. Once you open the doors, you’ll be greeted to brand new tile floors that were chosen to compliment the indoor/outdoor lifestyle of Sandpiper. To your right, wall to wall, floor to ceiling sliding glass doors open out to one of the two outdoor patios. Just a few steps off the patio is the large pool, complete with a real deep end!

If you choose to go left when you enter, you’ll walk into a retro dining area and a beautiful new kitchen, complete with new appliances, stainless steel back splash and stunning quartz countertops. From there one can step out onto the back patio, that features and outdoor kitchen with a Viking BBQ and side burner, sink and plenty of counter space. Eat inside or out, there is a table out back too. The automatic outdoor awning can be used at anytime, making the area seem like an extension of the home. There is also an indoor laundry area, tucked away but very convenient.

Heading straight in from the front doors takes you into a small hallway, complete with storage. Of the hallway is the master, complete with it’s own bathroom. The master bedroom has a Cal King foam mattress from Tuft and Needle. The bedroom is large and one wall is all glass leading out towards the pool. In the closet is a large dresser drawers and a TV set perfect for your streaming devise, complete with ample hanging space.

The guest room has two twin xl foam mattresses that can be converted into a Cal King sleeping arrangement. This room features a very large closet and a built in dresser drawers. Glass doors lead directly to the back patio as well.

Both bathrooms in the home have been redone, and the master retains the original design of a roman tub and shower, but fitted with all new tile. Again quartz counter tops and new fixtures are throughout. The guest bath is equally impressive with a full size shower and a combination of glass and subway tiles in the shower.

Other amenities include a 48 inch TV in the living room, a large sectional over top of a comfy shag rug, and high speed internet. Also a single garage parking spot is provided and there is plenty of visitor parking steps away.

Beautiful accommodations

**Review for Rental Accommodation**I recently had the pleasure of staying at this rental accommodation, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! The location was simply perfect, situated just minutes away from where we were holding our work events. This made commuting a breeze and allowed us to maximize our time.The property manager was incredibly responsive, addressing any questions or concerns we had promptly, which added to the overall positive experience. Additionally, the place was spotless and well-maintained, offering a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Overall, this rental exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely stay here again!

Sandpiper, March 2024

We had a lovely week in Jeff’s Sandpiper home. The house is comfortable, (bed and linens great) and the house is nicely decorated. Really enjoyed the heated pool after a day of hiking. There are great hikes close by!

Perfect in every way

We enjoyed our stay so much - it surpassed all expectations. The condo is more like a small house, with fun midcentury decor, and very much in keeping with the Palm Springs/Palm Desert vibe. We didn't swim, but the pool was beautiful and right outside the patio door. The added bonus was the fruit trees on the property. We picked grapefruit and oranges every morning for fresh squeezed juice, which was divine. We will definitely be back!

It was such a great place to spend time in the desert for the first time with our daughter. Accessibility to the pool, relation to stores and shops and local attractions was amazing. The little welcome basket was the cherry on top. Would love to come back one day!

What a perfect little condo with a pool!!

Great location next to everything you want or need. We went to the music festival in Indio and the beds were very comfy to come back to. It really felt like a second home. It had basically everything you could possibly need when you come to the gate. Make sure you park immediately to your left. That was the only thing that was a little confusing at first then take the sidewalk around the corner and the doors right there on the left, we really had a great experience and if we ever go back, we will definitely try and get this Vrbo again !!

Sandpiper Getaway

Overall this unit was a perfect place to stay. Access to grapefruit, orange, and lemon trees each morning was exceptional! We were four friends sharing, two of which were a couple. So having three beds worked perfectly. It was a short walking distance to restaurants and shops. This unit would work for a friends get-away or for a family. Two thumbs up!

Peaceful and quiet sunny paradise

This is the second time we have stayed at this condo. Jeff and Donna are always very nice. The location is very very quiet. It’s a pod with condo surrounding a central pool and most of the time, in fact all except one day, we were the only ones in the pool. Very quiet and peaceful. If you’re looking for somewhere just to soak in the sun and take a dip in the pool, and stay at a cool mid century modern place that’s really close to everything, this is the place for you.

Wonderful!!

What a great place! I appreciated the host and his communication. He used the VRBO comm tools but he also sent me a text a few days before check in so I’d have his number. He replied quickly and took care of any questions/problems we had! Perfect! The condo was super clean. I usually feel like I have to clean when I get to a rental but not here. The WiFi worked well. I had class work and some work zoom meetings and it was fine. The kitchen was well equipped. The Sandpiper location is great - you can walk to many places - and the pool is very nice. The condo was a little hard to find the first time - park in the first spots in driveway D and walk along the sidewalk to the green doors. Can’t wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Donna Johnson

Host profile image
As a Canadian who came to the California in 1990 and never left, my wife and I discovered the desert a couple some years back. We would travel here on Fridays, hanging out with people that come from all over the world to escape snowy and cold winters. We love the world class amenities, shopping, the incredible outlets just 30 minutes away, along with several places in town for great coffee and tea.
We live and work approximately one hour from the condo and hope to enjoy it with family and friends for years to come when it is not being rented out.

Why they chose this property

We were introduced to Sandpiper living by some friends in the spring of 2014. We were blown away at how special this place really is. Of course having been designed by a world class architect helps, but the natural beauty of the desert and the incredible sunsets are really something to experience. This unit caught our eye because it had been owned by another Canadian living in California and she had it for many years and we knew it had been well taken care of. When it is not being used by our guests, we look forward to using it as an escape and a gateway to all the desert has to offer. It is a place where you can park the car and just walk to anywhere you need to be. Out of milk, just cross the street. Want a Starbucks, well that is about a 4 minute stroll. Do you like the California Pizza Kitchen? It is about a six minute walk. So when you are not here to enjoy, we will.

What makes this property unique

There are many great units in Sandpiper, but you have found one the best. Unlike other condo complexes, Sandpiper has been designed to offer large green spaces. There are hundreds of condos in the desert but this area is truly unique and very well known in the community. We know that you'll love it as much as we do, so don't hesitate to contact us, we'd love to help facilitate your time away from home. And when you stay in our condo, you can do so with confidence knowing we are only an hour away in case of an emergency.
