Perfect
Casita #5 is a lovely, exceptionally clean, spacious studio with all the special touches and amenities one would need. We really appreciated the bottle of wine, snacks, and bottled water after a long day of travel. Loved watching the hummingbirds mornings and evenings on our patio (they were at the pool too!) and the beautiful mountain views. Britta's casitas are in the best location in the community. We enjoyed the quick walk to Legacy Grill at the main pool, and the lunch selections were delicious. Don't miss dinner and live entertainment on the patio at Arnold Palmer's in La Quinta! We visited La Quinta Resort next door, but were always glad to get back to the peace and solitude of our casita. We met our neighbors staying in one of Britta's two bedroom casitas, and we can't wait to return with our daughter and son-in-law. It's that perfect!

This place is amazing and comes with everything you need or could possibly want for an amazing getaway. Britta has outdone herself with the decorating and attention to detail. Parking is not an issue at all and the amenities in the community are top notch. With a pool steps from your back door, what more could you want? We will definitely be booking again.

My husband and I stayed here while attending Stagecoach and the place was exactly as advertised- beautiful, well appointed, and a superb location. We were able to relax poolside during the day and were only a short ride to the festival at night. We would love to stay here again and highly recommend to anyone interested!

Desert Get-Away
I planned a little get-away and was delighted when I stepped into this little oasis. A very charming and private casita stocked with everything I needed. The entire process and accessibility were extremely easy and seamless. I highly recommend this property and I will look forward to my return next year!

Attention to detail and very responsive host
Very cozy and romatic with all the comforts. Great attention to detail along with extras we really appreciated. The host really thought of everything in this unit and answered a few questions we had right away. Very comfortable bedding with everything you need in the small kitchen space with micro and frig. This unit has a large outside table steps from the pool through a beautiful flowering archway. We enjoyed the hummingbirds! The resort pool in front of the room closed for part of our stay. There are 11 others pools within walking distance so not a big issue. The on site cafe serves a wonderful breakfast but currently only open on weekends. The resort itself is meticulously maintained with fantastic views and tranquil fountains.

One "Chic" Desert Retreat in La Quinta, CA
My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at One "Chic" Desert Retreat over the Thanksgiving holiday. The property was perfectly located for us. It was clean as a whistle! Britta has a "decorator's eye." The apartment was tastefully furnished with some delightful touches. Sitting out on the back patio overlooking the pool was a special treat! The view of the mountains was spectacular! Many thanks for a relaxing stay!

About the host

Hosted by Britta Wagner

Host profile image
Hi there! I am Britta - an import from Germany, but I have lived in Southern California for the past 25+ years and still loving the never ending supply of sunshine :-)

Having worked in the travel industry for most of my life, my husband Robert and I have traveled extensively, including several trips with our 2 girls. We just LOVE staying at private vacation rentals, since it's just so much for comfortable, spacious and affordable, especially for families. So in 2009 we started "Mickey's Magical Getaways" and created 4 amazing vacation rentals by Disneyland and have since hosted well over 10,000 excited Disney fans.

Why they chose this property

La Quinta has always had a special place in our hearts and is truly one of our favorite spots on this planet. Is it the air? The sky? The mountains? The palm trees? The climate? We don't know for sure, but every time we come out to visit (even if only for a few hours), we come home relaxed and recharged.

For many years we stayed at the La Quinta Resort next door for our anniversaries. After 2 years of looking and waiting for just the right unit, we were THRILLED to find the perfect townhouse to buy at Legacy Villas in 2017.

"One CHIC Desert Retreat - La VILLA" (VRBO #1053654) was born. I put my decade of experience in design, decorating and vacation rental management to use and really went above and beyond to create an extraordinary place that is quite different from all the others at Legacy Villas. We believe in "more is more" and love to spoil our guests who keep coming back year after year, leaving us glowing 5 star reviews.

In 2021 we decided to expand and took advantage of a unique opportunity that we frankly couldn't pass up. We scored two 3BR, single story lock--off units that are directly adjacent to our favorite pool and RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER! We split each 3BR lock off unit into a studio ("La Casita") with kitchenette and a 2 BR/2BA ("La Casa") with full kitchen, living/dining rooms. This enables us to accommodate groups from 2 all the way to 14 guests, or if you also want to add our townhouse, we can now sleep up to 22 guests all at once!


What makes this property unique

Single story with nobody above or below? Check!
Killer location directly next to our favorite satellite pool? Check!
Lock off option (with our adjacent 2BR LA CASA) with separate front doors, A/Cs and water heaters? Check!
Mountain views? Check!
Quieter backside of the community with no traffic? Check!
2 minute walk to the start of a gorgeous walking trail that surrounds the whole community? Check!

Come check it out for yourself :-)

P.S. If you fall in love with the desert and are considering to purchase a place of your own, please reach out! I am also an experienced realtor and would be happy to help you.
