Love the place. Stay was amazing. Plenty of room great TV accommodations and the beds were wonderful sleeping good. Pool out back was great for relaxing and getting away from the heat and the main pools were wonderful too. I definitely recommend.
I stayed for a month and had friends visit a week at a time. It was perfect since both bedrooms are King beds with bathrooms and an extra powder room. The many fireplace features were welcome ambience in the cooler evenings. Two of my visitors went to the Indian Wells Tennis event and loved the close convenience. Polo fields also very close and intriguing! The Vare Property Management team took care of our every need.
The minute you witness and experience this space, say no more, tranquility is here. So just chill and relax and no need to bear the weight of your worries here. Cleanliness, quietness and privacy…this place has it
