Have stayed in several homes in La Quinta the last 12 years, this was well stocked and very comfortable and a beautiful view of the mountains. If you have a celebration coming up, this is the place to be.
Gracious living at very spacious, well-appointed home. Beautiful location and extremely well equipped. A wonderful venue for a golf trip or family get-together. Chef's kitchen and beautiful pool area. Very attentive management. Will certainly return again!
Super nice and clean. Well stocked kitchen and attentive host. Only negative was no steps in and out of pool. Other than thaat we would definitely book again.
This is a wonderful property--well equipped, very clean, and perfectly warm and comfortable--both inside and out. The pool and spa work well and were easy to control. We loved all of the outdoor seating. The kitchen was amazing--great appliances and very well stocked. And, as we've experienced previously, the property management (Natalie) is so gracious and helpful. This is definitely a home we would love to stay in again.
This was an amazing stay! We came for the tennis and wanted to stay at the house! This home was better than we could’ve imagined and even nicer than the photos. It was so nice all of the rooms in the main house were beautiful and all with king beds. The kitchen was fully equipped for us to enjoy cooking. Natalie spoiled us by checking in to see if we needed anything at all. What a great space to spend a week in the desert. We can’t wait to book it again for next year!
My family and I had an extraordinary stay at this property. The home was beautiful, spacious, and homey. We spent much of our time between the kitchen and living space, both of which were very comfortable.
The kitchen was well stocked and had great appliances (Thermador) which made cooking two nights very easy. Additionally, the two wine fridges and ample glassware made for great overall dining experiences.
The rooms were comfortable and the casita worked great.
Check-in was a breeze and the team was very helpful in providing any and all information.
Would definitely stay again and would recommend for any larger party!
This house is lovely for a group or family vacation. My family was here over MLK weekend for a lacrosse tournament and watched a lot of football on the giant tv in the family room. The kitchen is well appointment with everything you might need. The house is in a gated community with very strict access. This is not a party house nor is it a party neighborhood. We were happy to enjoy the security and quiet. Some of us played golf at the the Greg Norman course in the community. It was super easy to get to although the tee sheets were full. Thanks for sharing this home.
We have stayed in many vacation homes and this is by far the most modern and clean with a number of amenities. A few extras would have made it more like home. Our teenage grandson stayed in the casita and was disappointed the WiFi wasn’t enough for his computer. The kitchen lacked a few items that I had to purchase myself. There was a shortage of towels and kitchen linens so we did a lot of laundry. I greatly missed pool noodles! Overall it was a lovely home and I would recommend to everyone who is looking for something spacious.
We had a great experience with our stay. Home was stunning, property manager was prompt and helpful. I’m so glad we found this property! Will definitely rent again when we need it.
My family and I had an amazing time. My mom said she "wanted every piece of furniture in the place". It is so well kept and really nicely decorated and quality! We loved staying here and would definitely do it again.
A perfect property for a family get away. We enjoyed this owner’s other home last year and wished to stay with she and her team this year—and we arrived to a beautiful home well located for our purposes. Enjoyed our stay immensity. We look forward to another visit next year!
