This home is wonderful and oh so comfortable. The 1930’s villa has a sumptuous ambiance both inside and out. The furnishings and décor are so tasteful, comfortable, skillful, artistic, appropriate, and often, humorous. Everywhere you look is something to appreciate. The home is equipped in a generous way and so well maintained. The kitchen is loaded with everything anyone could want. The linens and bedding are sumptuous. Every room has a nice TV. Wi-Fi is perfect. The house, casita, and pool made for a perfect family stay with lots of space…. grandparents in the casita; two adults and two kids, in the main house. I cannot overstate how special this property is. It is so much more than a place to stay. It is an experience.

We came down for our daughter’s wedding, and the whole family stayed in your home. It was just perfect for all of us, and the casita worked out great for the new bride and groom. The property is lovely and the home is as beautiful as shown in the photos. Lots of space for everyone and really homey feeling.

We loved our stay here. This house is quirky, comfortable, and in a great location. It is on a large lot, so we had so much room for our dogs (by the way, thank you to the owner for accepting them!). The pool was perfect, as was the hot tub (heats up hot in only 30 minutes!). Just so you know, the house is old. It is not your modern, spiffy white, ultra clean property, but I mean that in a good way. It's an older home. But that's the charm of it. Pros and Cons: It's walking distance to Old Town LQ, lots of restaurants and coffee shops. Fritz Burns Park is just one block away. Very fun! My opinion is you definitely want to stay in La Quinta vs. Palm Springs/Indio/etc. The separate casita is adorable! The yard has orange/grapefruit trees (so fun to pluck some every morning for breakfast!). The kitchen is small and dark, so not a chef's dream. But we ate out a lot so we were fine. The TV room off the kitchen is small, with a tiny old sofa, but we made due. The bedrooms were very comfortable and very quiet! There were two small dogs in the property behind the house. Many days they yapped for hours. Then we would not hear them for 2-3 days. I am very sensitive to barking but was fine and learned to ignore it. The owner Todd was very communicative! Took care of our needs very quickly. There is a sunken living room upon entry so just be careful with small children or elderly. Loved the quirky artwork and decor! All in all, we loved our time here. Would stay again a heartbeat!!

Our 2nd family get together in the middle so no one has to travel far. House, yard, pool all seclude and fun for activities. Lots of room, kitchen outfitted very well, and beds and baths are comfortable and easy to fit the group. Todd Larsen is a super host and always helpful. Our family is hooked🙃

We never left the house! Pool and grounds were perfect for our family (including our dog) and the house had all the amenities. The pool exceeded our expectations with a perfect sun shelf for our little one. Would definitely book again- thank you!!

Spotted this listing last year for a family trip, but booked elsewhere. This year I looked for this location specifically and it did NOT disappoint. Check in was simple. Thank goodness, air was already on (as it was a hot summer day) The pics don’t do the house justice. You walk in to that incredible conversation pit room with dining room to your left and bedrooms to your right. The house is decorated in a perfect, eclectic style which is engaging and adds an elevated feeling to your stay. Cozy and comfortable, but not precious or sterile. Kitchen is beyond amazing: unique and charming. You want to spend weeks serving breakfast, lingering over lunch and making drinks in that unique space. You’ll find great cookware and perfect glassware and dish ware. Beds are comfy and bedrooms well-appointed. The house has a lived-in feel that a historic property should have. There’s a feeling of many people having had a wonderful time right where you are. Host and former guests have left little surprises - toiletries, trash bags, pool toys. The out of doors is also the coolest… the pool is beautiful and special - it feels engineered? Not a box-standard design! It’s SHADED! The side yard is huge. The hammock is a DREAM (we were fighting over it). The trees, the flowers? All so well-tended. We played games, watched tv, swam - and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Todd was super helpful and responsive. Will book again (and again)

The owner was so responsive to my questions both before and during our stay. I highly recommend this property! Our group of four adults and one dog had a great time at the house. We used both the main house and the casita. The beds were comfortable, and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. The large and shady side yard for the dog to play in was perfect.

We had a great time. A unique early California property. Loved cooking melas and celebrating in the dining room. The backyard pool, jacuzzi and bar areas were enjoyed by all. Thanks again for a great stay.

We have rented this place multiple times and are never disappointed.. wonderful property with pool, hot tub, guest house and fruit trees. We can walk to Arnold Palmers restaurant close by or anywhere in Old Town. Todd is very responsive to any question or issue. We have already rented it for next year! Daryl

Perfect location to meet up from different cities and us from different state. Everyone had a great time visiting with multiple options indoors and out to group up and talk. Beds were comfy. Kitchen is putfitted incredibly well. So nice to have pool. Spa and grass and trees for shade as an option. Bbq worked well and if the weather had permitted we would have eaten on the cantina next to the grill. Our kids and grandkids, niece and etc. want to arrange another get together soon at the hacienda!

We had a blast and will be back!

5 stars across the board in all categories! Will most definitely be renting this property again. Todd was very accommodating, top shelf. The only room for improvement was that one shower had weak water pressure.

Todd and his home are both off the charts and exceed expectations of pictures, attention to detail and service. I will absolutely be renting this property again!

We enjoyed being a short walk from Old Town La Quinta. The property itself is very unique and beautifully landscaped - the house takes you back to the 30’s and has an abundance of charm. The Casita worked great for the two younger guests we had. If you love old houses with a vintage California vibe- you won’t be disappointed! We had a great time!

My travel buddies and I have stayed in 7 VRBO's, in as many years, and we don't need to search any further. This is now our permanent vacation home! From the moment you enter the courtyard you know this one is going to be special. The amount of care and detail that Todd has put into this historic "Casita" is amazing. You can truly feel his desire to make his guests feel at home. And from the moment we inquired about booking, to the day we left to come home, Todd was so quick to respond to any question and helped make our stay that much more enjoyable. This home is charming, adorable, cute, quirky (in the best way!). There are so many treaures to look at, both inside and out, that we kept discovering new things right up to the last day. The white stucco exterior looked freshly painted. The landscaping is beautifully established and tasteful. Beautiful palms, gorgeous fruit trees and tons of blooming petunias and geraniums. Pool and hot tub are perfect, in great shape. The outdoor Cantina seating area is where we ate every meal, surrounded by fun overhead lighting and decor. Freshly over-seeded lawn, extremely private yard, fully fenced. Comfortable beds and bedding, TONS of fluffy bath towels and pool towels. The detached guesthouse is huge and wonderfully decorated. The mainhouse kitchen and dining room are stocked with every imaginable item and appliance you could need to make a gourmet meal and set a beautiful table. The one-of-a-kind, sunken, livingroom sofa is so fun for evening cocktails or to be by yourself and read a book. I could go on (and on and on...) but I'd better make sure there are still some available dates left for us next year!

A girlfriend weekend. So fun, shopping in Palm Springs, dining in Palm Springs a must! This VRBO has so much history it was hard to stay away. The garden with all the fruit trees will keep you exploring. Very clean and the decor fits this home so perfect. Our host was awesome. He was available if we had a question at all hours and always very accommodating. I can hardly wait to have a stay here again.

Todd was a fantastic host. Fast communication and great attention to detail. We loved the house. Amazing pool and really really good AC!! We will definitely be back.

We came to celebrate our mom's birthday. It was a great place for everyone, including the two dogs. Todd was very responsive. 10/10 would book again.

Another amazing stay, our 3rd! Came for some peace and quiet over the 4th. Enjoyed the wonderful pool, and uniqueness of the property. We were grateful for the shade and AC during the 110 degree heat wave, and spent most of the time in and around the pool per usual. Thanks for hosting us!

This property never disappoints. Had a fabulous weekend with friends. Everything about the stay was outstanding

Rented house for a 3 night stay with 10 of my girlfriends and all had a wonderful time. The pool and outdoor spaces were amazing. The kitchen was well stocked, the house was quirky and relaxing with lots of charm. Todd was very helpful and accommodating. Very important to read all the rules and make sure the noise ordinance is adhered to, as to keep the neighbors happy. All the house rules were more the easy to follow and very reasonable. We all had a wonderful and relaxing time! Highly recommend renting this house!

What a fabulous property! Not only is it beautiful, the Owner has so many amenities and is very generous with them. So clean and well kept. Everything was above and beyond our expectations! Can’t wait to come back….♥️

This is a wonderful property; a little bit of old time La Quinta with all the modern amenities. The historic Spanish-Revival property really does make you feel like you are back in time, but with WiFi and smart tv’s and a wonderful pool and spa. Todd was great, and we definitely plan to return!

The house is just charming. Beautifully decorated. The yard pool and cantina are very special. Hiking and shops are a short distance. Todd is a gracious host and very responsive to any questions. Overall a great experience.

We loved our stay and were so comfortable we didn't leave for the weekend! The decor is so beautiful, makes for a very special, festive occasion. Great attention to detail, it was perfect for our group. Thank you!

Great getaway! Loved the pool, outdoor dining area and big yard. House was nice too!

Had a great 8 day stay! Todd was great, met us at the house and showed us around. The property itself is wonderful - pool, hot tub, grill and chairs and chaises in both sunny spots and shady ones. There is a wonderful backyard with lawn and fruit trees and a long handled picker so you can enjoy the oranges and grapefruits. The house itself has anything you need - we cooked several meals in the house and found the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and most anything needed. The house is a bit quirky, but in a wonderful way. There are a few step-downs in the living room and bathrooms, so might not be the best situation for anyone that might have a little difficulty walking. It's walking distance to hiking trails and Old Town - really the perfect location! We would definitely stay again!

We loved our 6 week stay here. The home is comfortable, well-equipped and Todd, the homeowner, couldn't have been more accommodating or helpful. The outdoor space is intimate and beautifully maintained; the casita was wonderful for our occasional guests, and the home is charming and cozy. Our guests loved the spa and I loved the fruit trees! The orange blossoms made the whole place smell amazing this past week! I juiced oranges and grapefruit nearly everyday -- and there are still hundreds more left on the trees. The TVs are brand new; the beds and pillows are comfortable; the linens are nice; and the kitchen has everything you can possibly need. We truly loved the charm of this home and couldn't have been more satisfied with our experience here. Thank you, Todd! We appreciated you!

We needed a place to stay during our daughter’s lacrosse tournament over the weekend and we’re lucky to find this home on VRBO versus paying for a hotel. Very happy we did! In addition to the history of the casita, which is very cool, the home itself was a perfect place to come home to and relax after king days out on the polo fields. We used the pool and hot tub every evening. We cooked on the outdoor range. We made s’mores at the outdoor fire pit. We dined at the beautifully decorated dining table inside. Lots of fun and will definitely be back when we have the opportunity.

Clean, lived up to the hype, beautiful property

The house is just as described and was beautiful inside and out. Todd was an excellent host. Can’t wait to stay again!

We loved the ambiance of the house. The decor was so perfect for the site. We used the pool and hot tub every day, found the kitchen very well equipped and appreciated the host getting some extra baking sheets for our needs. Besides our family of 8, we also hosted dinner for extended family of 26 and the space allowed lots of room for different groups to visit. Some in the palapa, some in the kitchen, dining room, den, and living room. We used the lovely setting for a photographer to take multi generation family photos.
