Lovely and comfortable stay

We absolutely loved this property. It was beautiful, so well appointed and felt very comfortable. It was located close to shops and Old Town La Quinta, which was excellent. The common areas, including the pool and gym, were wonderful. There was also a games area that we enjoyed. The management company was SO helpful. They answered all our questions and made check-in and check-out very simple and comfortable. Would highly recommend this location for a restful and joyful vacation.

New & Nice

We enjoyed our stay very much. Great location (LaQuinta; very near community pool and clubhouse). Great floor plan. Quiet, relaxing, house had everything we wanted/needed. Clean & new. Nicely furnished for a rental unit. Only suggestion would be to have secondary window shades that allow you to look out & have light enter, but still provide some privacy.

New home in new neighborhood

We had an enjoyable stay in a well located PGA West neighborhood. Pool, workout facility, bocce ball right across the street. Our property manager was responsive and helpful. The home, however, was lacking in hangers, kitchen utensils, and other kitchen items, and replacement light bulbs.

Gorgeous stay

The property is spacious and beautiful. I really appreciated the oversized shower in the master bedroom, and the huge kitchen/living area. The bed was super comfortable. Originally, I had planned to travel with my partner, and the extra bedroom would have been plenty of space to work and take calls if necessary. The neighborhood is so cute, the people are very friendly. The community pool was gorgeous. The property manager was very communicative; making sure I had everything I needed and that all of my questions were answered. I'm excited to stay here again if it's available!

We arrived on a Saturday during the low season at Desert Lotus. The house is very well appointed with a full kitchen, a nice dining area and living room. This unit is very close to the main pool and the gym, basically across the street which we found convenient. As I mentioned low season, however there were many cars and maintenance trucks passing through the development. This house sits on the main street which is probably reason for the traffic. Otherwise the neighborhood is very quiet. The master bedroom is spacious with a large walk-in shower. The reason for the okay rating was an issue we had with towels. The towels provided in both bathrooms were worn, torn and dingy. ( ready for rag use ). Additionally housekeeping provided one hand towel for each bathroom and no wash cloth's. We found this condition surprising and unacceptable, however Vare was very helpful with getting us new towels for the remainder of our stay... Otherwise an enjoyable stay and very close to golf which is the reason we selected this property!

Why they chose this property

The Coachella Valley is a desert oasis unlike any other—where sunshine reigns year-round and relaxation meets adventure. Nestled between the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains, the region offers a striking blend of natural beauty, resort luxury, and vibrant culture.

Whether you're here for a music festival, a golf getaway, or just to unwind poolside, Coachella Valley delivers. Spend your days exploring world-class spas, art galleries, and high-end shopping in Palm Desert and El Paseo, or discover the charm of Old Town La Quinta with its walkable streets, local boutiques, and top-rated restaurants.

Outdoor enthusiasts can hike the stunning trails of Indian Canyons or Joshua Tree National Park, just a short drive away. Prefer to take it easy? Lounge under palm trees with a cocktail or catch the desert sunset from your private patio.

The area is home to iconic events like the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals, BNP Paribas Open, and Modernism Week, drawing visitors from around the globe. But even outside of event season, the valley offers a peaceful escape filled with warmth, culture, and unforgettable views.

Whether you're seeking adventure, rest, or a little of both, the Coachella Valley is the perfect place to call home—if only for a while.
