About this property

Stay at the Sunburst

A few minutes from Joshua Tree National Park's main entrance and walking distance to the quirky town of Joshua Tree and the official park visitor center, the Sunburst is an eclectic space with all the amenities you need for a quick jaunt into the park (roadtrippers, we salute you!) or a week-long retreat with a private hot tub, a grill, and an outdoor chiminea fire pit. Enjoy some of the best starriest night skies and purply-pink sunsets in CA. We hope you love our Mojave home as much as we do!

Marissa was super responsive and the place was so sweet, clean, and very centrally located in Joshua Tree. There were fresh towels and a super helpful room next door with water, fridge, microwave, and laundry. We only spent one night but definitely want to stay here again in the future!

Fun!

We had a very fun and relaxing stay at this lovely little vrbo. It was super clean and centrally located near restaurants and shops as well as very close to the parks entrance. Check in and out was super easy and little touches like holiday candy and a nespresso machine made things feel extra special.

JT Weekend

The stay was great! Perfect location for 2-3 days exploring Joshua Tree and going to our friends' wedding. Air conditioning worked great, loved the decorations, and the water cooler & coffee machine were useful. It was also nice to eat lunch in the backyard and have easy parking in the driveway. The hot tub wasn't super hot, but that's okay because the sun was.

I loved my stay at the Sunburst! The room is bright and cheerful, with fun art everywhere you look. The bed was comfy, the shower warm, the refrigerator cold--and you cannot beat a fire and a hot tub soak under the stars! Will definitely return. Highly recommend.

Astrophotography

We chose this place because it was very near the West entrance of JT and we were going in middle of night to take astrophotos. It worked very well. Quiet too because the next morning we had to sleep in after being up all night!

Sunburst at Joshua Tree

We enjoyed our stay at the Sunburst property. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and worked well for the two of us. I knew from the listing that the washer and dryer were in a separate room with a coded lock, however I did not know the microwave and refrigerator were also located in this room. This was a disappointment.

About the host

Hosted by Marissa Kozma

Host profile image
Hello!

My name is Marissa, and traveling (in VRBOs especially) is my absolute favorite! My experiences as a guest have been nothing but positive. I live with my husband Parker and we are originally from Toronto/Charleston, SC and Dallas. We are excited to share our home (and the Mojave) with you!

Why they chose this property

We are in a prime location — about a five-minute drive to the popular west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park and a short walk to the center of town with its shops and eateries. It is relatively quiet on a paved street in a residential neighborhood but we still see a lot of wildlife and can access local hiking trails! Nature is in our backyard so if you're looking to get away from it all (but not THAT far away from it all), this is the place to be!

What makes this property unique

Our home was built in 1952 and is one of the remaining original homes in the quirky town of Joshua Tree! It is historic and has a lot of character, which we have embellished since we moved in. We love color and antique finds so this is the opposite of the ultra-modern white boxes you typically see in the desert built by LA transplants. Our guests have said that it's better than the pictures!
