Welcome to your very own slice of paradise! Picture yourself surrounded by the lush greenery of over 30 palm trees, serenaded by the melodious songs of birds and the sight of roadrunners on the hunt. As you wander through the estate, the tranquil sound of three fountains enhances the peaceful atmosphere, creating the perfect backdrop for quality time with family and friends.

And what could be more indulgent than soaking in an outdoor heart-shaped bathtub under the twinkling stars? It's a rare gem that sets this property apart, offering a truly unique and romantic experience. But the luxury doesn't stop there – indulge in an outdoor shower, relax on a small bed nestled amidst nature, or engage in friendly competition with horseshoes, darts, or the trampoline sunk into the ground.

For those seeking relaxation and warmth, gather around the fire pit as you share stories and toast marshmallows, or lounge by the pool with an array of pool toys to keep everyone entertained. With almost half a football field at your disposal, there's ample space for any outdoor activity your heart desires.

Convenience meets luxury with nearby attractions such as the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and Southwest Church, serving as the shuttle pick-up for renowned music festivals like Coachella and Stagecoach. While shuttle pick-up locations may change, rest assured that you're just a short walk away from the action.

And when it's time to retire for the night, sink into the comfort of king-sized beds with plush bedding that ensures a restful sleep. Essential amenities such as shampoo, soap, blow dryers, and straightening irons are all provided, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience without a worry in the world.

Welcome to your private oasis – where every moment is a celebration of relaxation, luxury, and the beauty of nature.
The swimming pool features a shallow sun shelf, perfect for basking in the warm sunlight while reclining under pool umbrellas. Whether you're lounging with a book or simply soaking up the serene ambiance, this sun shelf offers a tranquil oasis for superior relaxation.

3. POOL HEATING fee - winter (Oct-May) $100.00 per day, $300 min (max of 89/90 degrees). Not needed June-Sept. I need 24 hours to heat, so day of check in counts as one day.

Misters use 1 gallon per nozzle, per hour x 33 nozzles = 33 gallons per hour x 8 hours = 264 gallons which is 15 showers. Water is like Gold in desert & the bill can be $2k a month just for water. Deck jets (which look cool & are fun for kids) are inc in pool mister fee. If you want just Deck Jets & not misters, that is an extra $25 per day but most people don't do this.

Gardeners come Thursday morning - you may NOT send them away & they are there 2-3 hrs. October we re-seed grass, a common practice in desert & only done this time of year.

Instructions on how to enter property will be given 10 minutes prior to check in, at which time alarm will be turned off.

Pool/Spa/Misters are remotely controlled on App called IAqualink which you download to operate jacuzzi, lights, etc.

Pool is 6'-7' deep at deepest point, so NO diving allowed. It's more of a dipping pool to wade & float in w/your friends & family.

City charges 12% Occupancy tax on everything, which is added at time of booking. VRBO charges you 15% , that alone = 37% that does NOT go to us. Utilities in desert are like gold which is why there are fees for warming pool, misters, people over 8, etc + it's a lot more wear & tear.

During Coachella/Stagecoach early check-in/late check out fee is $300 per hour + 3 night min. Cleaning fee is $400 over normal charge & refundable deposit increases to $2k.
