Had such a wonderful time at Casa Mara with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday. The house was beautifully decorated inside, amazing bathrooms, top appliances and stocked with all our needs. The backyard was where we spent the majority of our time though and it was wonderful! Hammock, outdoor grill, pool slide, hot tub, volleyball, fireside s’mores…the options were endless! The casita and gym + game room were fantastic as well- I only wish we had more time to enjoy everything! Jen was a great communicator and followed up in a timely manner to any questions or requests, both in getting settled into the house and throughout our stay. Would absolutely book again and recommend to any group looking for a backyard dream!

"Amazing location for big groups who want to relax and enjoy the sunny desert. Our team loved the different spaces to hang out, work in and also all of the activities like ping pong, billiards, an amazing pool and hot tub, beach volleyball court, etc. Communication with the host was really great - we ran into some small problems but Jen & team addressed them immediately with kindness and professionalism! :) Would definitely stay again!"

Gorgeous property and perfect for large groups.

"Perfect resort style backyard. We had 8 couples in our group so the house was perfect for all of us. We never felt cramped or two close. Pool is famous and the game room was awesome. We all never wanted to leave and would love to come back for our annual getaway weekend."

Beautiful home!

This home has everything that you need. We had such a great vacation with all of our family under 1 roof. Loved it and want to come back again.

"Casa Mara was enjoyed by 17 members of my family comfortably for my 80th birthday. It's a beautiful, clean property! The large yard gave my Grandkids a place to run and play. The pool with the slide was throughly enjoyed by all. It was located close to grocery and drug stores."

"Overall, great stay. Super easy and responsive. Home is super clean."

"Would definitely recommend this place for a large group. There are lots of activities that can be done here such as swimming, basketball, volleyball, mini golf, and a game room. I appreciate how responsive the host was as well! Overall had a great experience!"

"House was amazing. Unlike some places this house lives up to the photos. We didn't have a blender Saturday evening and they delivered us a new one within hours. No complaints and would recommend this house to anyone."

Amazing property, exceeded our expectations. The communication with the property management team was easy & timely, easy check in. This is a great place to bring the family together, I highly recommend.

Casa Mara was fabulous! The house itself was impeccable and clean. The beds were comfortable, the toiletries were great and the kitchen was fairly well stocked. Several in our group had to work during our vacation, as well, and the internet was very good. The outside area at Casa Mara was spectacular with activities for everyone, including in the "Playground." So many fun games to play and having the Peloton equipment was definitely an added bonus. You can easily vacation in the desert without ever having to leave this property! The location was also perfect, in between La Quinta and Palm Springs. It was an easy walk to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and a quick drive to El Paseo. Although we had small issues that came up during our 11 days at Casa Mara, the management company was always very responsive, taking care of our needs almost immediately. We had such a good time and look forward to a return visit!

Perfect environment for a family

Great property and owners highly recommend. We stayed here during a work conference off site and was perfect for my team

Exceeded our expectations. Any questions we had with your staff were answered quickly. Our first VRBO and would definitely do it again.

We had an incredible time. Your property is awesome you were so responsive to our needs. Often correcting things within an hour or so. This is an awesome property for a large group. Thank you

"Incredible property just around the corner from the Tennis Garden. The backyard is a family oasis with so much to do! Well appointed house with lots of comfortable spaces to hang out and enjoy time with friends and families. Would definitely stay again."

very spacious and appealing for a large group....lots of places to play, enjoy, and occasionally work.

"A treat to stay in this lovely house. Jen went way beyond to make our long-weekend comfortable and memorable. They gave us clear instructions of how to run all the ins and outs for the house. The beds were all very comfortable with nice bathrooms. The property looks exactly like it does in the pictures. Jen was very accommodating and very quick to respond with any questions I had. She was also flexible with check-in and check-out time, which was extremely helpful. The house is quiet, clean and spacious. Would definitely stay here again!"

"Amazing. That's the best word to describe Casa Mara. We were there for 4 days for a birthday celebration with a group of 16 and the place was fantastic. Lots of space, amazing amenities, and a super communicative host! Cannot recommend enough."

"Even better in person! 16 people for a family weekend, plenty of room. We spent all day in the pool with a very lazy river, game room, basketball, volleyball, putting green, relaxing, and cooking in the huge kitchen. So much to do, something for everyone!"

Our family of 16, ages 8 months to 70 years, had the absolute BEST time at Casa Mara!! As beautiful as the photos are, the property is even more beautiful when you see it in person! There was more than enough space for our crew to have privacy if they wanted, naps for the babies, and each of the rooms was so bright and airy and so nicely decorated. The huge kitchen was perfect for making meals together and the outside grill area was perfect for our barbecues! We enjoyed eating our meals outside and one night sat around the fire pit and made s'mores!! The pool is gorgeous and with the water slide was a huge hit with the grandkids! We had volleyball games on the nice court, basketball games, and games of pool while a few of us kept up our exercise routines on the treadmill! We never needed to leave the property (and we didn't want to) and seriously we barely had time to do everything there was to do at Casa Mara! From our first rental inquiry, our questions were answered quickly and the Property Manager was in contact with us from the minute we arrived and very responsive if we needed assistance during out stay. We can't wait to visit Casa Mara again!! Don't hesitate to rent this fabulous property, you will be so happy you did!!

"An amazing house for large groups with kids. The pool & playroom were a hit and made the stay very enjoyable."

"This place is amazing! There was a zen about the house that made us feel at home. Communication was great. The neighbor was even friendly welcoming us to this luxury home. There was plenty of space for my whole family to enjoy themselves together and individually. We loved how clean everything was! We will be staying here again in the future."

"This was a perfect place for our large group to come for the weekend. The house, kitchen and bedrooms were all top quality and the pool/gaming areas were awesome. Would definitely book again!"

"Casa Mara was the perfect location for our girls weekend retreat! Beautifully appointed, well-maintained, and very clean. The bedrooms were a great size and the beds were very comfortable. Both the indoor and outdoor space were perfect for a large group looking to spend time together and relax in the sun. We would definitely come back next time we are in Palm Springs!"

"Amazing house with endless activities! Loved the game room and the outdoor movie screen. Will definitely stay there again."

So a group of 12 guys decided to get together to play a golf tournament and we chose La Quinta California. We found a great property 10 minutes away in Palm Desert, Casa Mara. We have stayed at hotels as a group before but we opted for something different this time. This fantastic property had a bed for everyone, yes, that's correct12 beds, one for each guy. Plenty of restrooms and showers as well. But as good as the sleeping accommodations were, the kitchen and family room and pool and outdoor area and the indoor playground in the back were absolutely off the charts amazing! We went to Costco to procure our food for the four nights that we were there so that we could cook together and eat together and spend time whereas if we were at a hotel things are always so much more complicated. This house provided a great gathering experience for all of us. This place had plenty of TVs and a Sonos sound system so that we could play music by the pool and in the house. Fantastic air conditioning system and a perfectly set temperature on the pool made for a great for night stay. I would recommend this place highly. One of the features that made our stay great was the concert communication from the property manager, Kim. She was responsive to any requests that we had and it was very comforting to know that she could help us if we needed anything. Again, this is a beautiful property with lots of space for a large group to hang out in. We are looking forward to book in this house again in the future. Hit em straight!

This is the perfect house for a largish (~16) group of people to spend a great weekend together. The amenities are unbeatable, the house is well thought out and tastefully appointed, and check in and contact with the listing agent easy.

If you are comparing those house to another one, pick this one. Our group including kids from 2-5 and 4 adults had a great time. Worth every penny. Texted a couple questions to the property manager and heard back within minutes every time. The pool, lazy river, and waterslide kept everyone entertained all day long every day. The game room was huge and wonderful too. Couldn't have been more pleased with everything.

"This place has an amazing outdoor space and is very well designed inside. We had a large group and it was very comfortable. The management company was friendly and responsive. An all around good stay!"

We found the home in perfect condition. The accommodations were perfect for our group of 10. We had plenty of space to meet, relax, cook, swim etc. It really was the perfect spot for our retreat! We look forward to many returns!
