This house is beautiful! We enjoyed the pool and outdoor games. Beautiful mountain view out back. Walking distance to hiking trails, Trader Joe’s, and nice restaurants.

Our stay was incredible i traveled with my parents and sister and her husband the house was more than big for us. Everything was really clean and well furnished. The house is beautiful and close by to a few shopping centers. We definitely plan on returning in the future. The host was more than helpful. Thank you for a great experience.

We had such a fabulous trip and loved staying at this property. The house is beautiful, the yard and pool were amazing. We loved hanging out day and night at the pool and using the hot tub. The beds were all so comfortable. The location is great too! Great food and things to do all in close proximity. When we come back to Palm Springs we can’t wait to stay here again!

My family and I enjoyed our 2 week stay. The backyard is amazing with the pool, hot tub and barbecue grill. We used the large dining table for dinners and plenty of card games. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Awesome family vacation at this property with our 5-year old, 2-year old and dog. Backyard area is large and great. Pool and hot tub are both fantastic and easy to use. Kitchen is great, has everything that you need. Overall and outstanding place.

We had such a wonderful time staying here and celebrating Thanksgiving and my moms 80th birthday. . There was plenty of space for our family of 6. The outdoor area is amazing with plenty for all of us to do. Lovely sitting areas, fire pit, pool, bocce ball etc. Skip was always accessible if we had questions and made our stay vey easy. We definitely hope to stay here again. It was perfect!

I can’t say enough good things about the host, Skip, or the house. In times of Covid, our bubble took a “staycation” in a house that was not our own, and it was awesome. This house was plenty big for 5 of us, with the outside being our main hang location. Skip was a pleasure to deal with from day 1. We are hoping to make this an annual vaca spot.

Great place for a family gathering! Everyone enjoyed the house and all the outdoor amenities. Great pool! Having the pool inflatables was wonderful as hard to bring those with you when traveling. Located close to restaurants and retail.

This home was amazing! Our group was 10 adults and we fit comfortably in the house (2 on air mattresses). The home is fresh and clean, and the outdoor area is to die for. Mountain views, hot tub, pool, bocce ball, horseshoes, fire pit - it was all incredible. The info booklet provided by the owner made using all the equipment in the house a breeze. We had the wrong door code when we arrived, but Skip was immediately responsive and helped us get in right away. He was extremely easy to communicate with and understanding of our changing travel plans. The location was close to tons of restaurants, grocery stores, and activities. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks, Skip!

I cannot say enough great things about this rental.. The house is beautiful and situated in a quiet neighborhood, but is within either walking distance or a short Uber to lots of great shopping, restaurants, etc. Coming from Canada in Jan/Feb we were THRILLED to be able to use the pool (fabulous) and hot tub, and the weather was warm enough for us to lay around and get some sun during the day and go out in the evenings. It was great - thanks Skip!!

House was spacious and worked perfectly for 7 adults and 2 children. Pool and spa were the highlight of the trip and they received a lot of use. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of pots, pans and utensils. We appreciated the kitchen and laundry appliances. We played a lot of bocce. Really nice location. Liked having the mountain beside the place. The owner was proactive and responsive. Clear instructions on how to use the spa, access cushions, TV etc. Close enough to the centre of La Quinta, but plenty of grocery stores nearby. Easy access everywhere, whether to Palm Springs, Indian Wells, La Quinta, or Joshua Tree. Very close to the tennis centre at Indian Wells. We would return in a heartbeat.

Was in the area for the Ironman 70.3. Quiet neighborhood, beautiful mountain view. Perfect location for our needs and a great home base for two families to relax together. House was very clean and organized inside. Access to the garage a big plus. Great yard & pool (with pool noodles and floaties!). So nice to have eight dining room chairs so we could all sit together while eating meals and playing board games. Already thinking about when we can get back.

The pictures do not do this place justice!! We opened the front door and walked in to Shangri-La and magical getaway at the base of the beautiful hillside. Plenty of room for all of our friends and family of glorious gorgeous dining room and that backyard area is a dream! Feeling so happy and relaxed after our time thank you so much!!

We enjoyed staying at this house and appreciated all of its great amenities from the outside games to be inside comfort.

We love coming to the desert for all the culture and activities there's access to. This house was in the perfect location to get to all of that excitement. The house itself was cute and relaxing. The kitchen and dinning areas were the perfect amount of space and the bedrooms were plush and cozy. But we loved spending our time out by the pool and playing horeshoes and boche ball. We spent many of our nights just hanging outside bbqing. We loved our stay here!

Had the best experience staying at this house! The house was beautiful and very spacious for 10 adults. The backyard was amazing and ended up being where we spent most of our time. Skip was so helpful and accommodating! We reached out informing him that one of the house air mattresses had a hole and he brought a new one the next day! He was very easy to get a hold of and so kind! Highly recommend the house!! :)

Beautiful house in an amazing location. Skip and Lara are fantastic hosts, very responsive and attentive. I was a group of 9 and the home suited us perfectly. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

First off, Skip was really responsive and accommodating! The house was conveniently located about 15 minutes away from the festival which was the main reason for our stay. It was clean and fit my group of 10 comfortably. Felt amazing to be in the pool and jacuzzi. Overall just a great stay. I plan to try and book this house next year! Thanks for everything Skip!

We had a great vacation! Family trip with 6 (parents, young adult children and SOs). Loved it. The location accommodated everyone’s interests (suntanning, golf, hiking, etc). Outdoor space definitely the selling point. Would have been nice to have a few kitchen ‘needs’ such as aluminum foil, stretch wrap etc, but minor issues in the grand scheme. Will be back. Host very receptive.

We stayed 10 nights over the holidays. The 4 bedrooms are all the same size (one has an attached bathroom). Although the house is only 1600 sq ft, the layout does a good job of using the space. Outside of the bedrooms, the rest of the house is mostly open. Close to lots of restaurants and 2 grocery stores (Vons and Trader Joes). Hiking is about a 10-15 min drive (multiple areas with multiple trail heads). Kind of far from downtown Palm Springs. Casinos are about 15 min drive. Walled in yard / area is large and nice including all amenities listed. Neighborhood is quiet, positioned against hill/mountain side. Overall, we were very happy with the rental.

This was a perfect spot for our three families to gather for the holidays! The great room ad outdoor spaces were comfortable and inviting; clean and well arranged. We had six adults and three children (ages 3, 5, and 7). Each couple enjoyed having their own room with very comfortable queen bed; the kids had their own room to share! (We did use a camping pad for one; the house also has an inflatable bed to use). We loved playing bocce ball and horseshoes; and spent much of our time in the hot tub and pool. There were even pool noodles! And bikes to use for a ride around. We cooked all our meals together; it was a precious and relaxing time!

We loved our stay at Desert Retreat, awesome yard with a great pool, lots of room, enjoyed the bocce court. The house has a great layout. We loved the neighbourhood, walking distance to lots of shopping and restaurants. Skip was great to deal with from start to finish, would not hesitate to rent again.

This home was a perfect place for our annual girls trip it is lovely well furnished and close to so many restaurant's we even tried an escape room which was great fun and near by. There is plenty to do on the property which is on a corner lot and Skip and Laura have put in a Bocce ball court and horse shoe pits, the fire pit is perfect for sitting out in the evening and roasting marshmallows! Skip and Laura were very helpful and accessible which was amazing! The only things that would have put it over the top would have been cushions for the chase lounges by the pool and the pool itself looks like it could use a resurfacing but it was amazing and floating in it was my favorite part of our visit!!! I highly recommend this home the beds are comfortable and the house is clean and well kept with all the kitchen equipment and dishes you will need. We will visit again Thank you Skip and Laura Cecilia and friends

Very spacious home with plenty of fun things to do

Lovely house, nice quiet neighborhood, owner very responsive to questions

We loved Skip's home! It was super spacious for my group of 8 adults and we never felt cramped. The backyard was a great place to relax with the pool, jacuzzi, and BBQ. It was even bigger than it looked in pictures. Skip even installed a fire pit, horseshoe pit, and bocce ball court in the backyard the week before we arrived which were all lovely additions. He was very patient and answered all my questions timely. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks again Skip!

This house was warm and welcoming from the moment we drove in to the driveway. Clean, comfortable and just a lovely place to relax. The pool area is beautiful and the rock hill in back is just beautiful to look at. The owners thought of every thing and Skip was available and cheerfully helpful.
