Our stay was perfect! I had trouble (on my end) with check in and the owner and property manager responded immediately. The house is perfectly set up for use and is very quiet and private. The casita made a great office so my husband and I could get work done and there are so many shopping options nearby cooking was a breeze. The kitchen had everything! It was the perfect home for our kids to spread out and each had their own space with so many TV's hooked up to streaming. The pool was the best part and was very easy to operate. It was a great and very easy staycation!

Great home in a great location.

Everything about the rental was as good as it gets. The home was as spectacular as the pictures indicate with large, clean and comfortable living and sleeping space indoors and an equally well appointed beautiful outdoor space. The provision of soaps, cleaning materials and other provisions etc. was particularly welcome.The home is situated in a quiet neighbourhood and the owner Scott is always prompt to answer queries both in the lead up to and during the rental.Definitely a rental you can be confident in booking.

Everything was perfect very well stocked with supplies and kitchen equipment. The only thing we had a problem with was the app I downloaded to access the control of the jacuzzi and be able to use it anytime was not working or heating up when needed. Or the backyard lights in landscape we couldn’t see it was dark in backyard. 7:30 pm and on I couldn’t acces lights from app either .But Scott was very helpful and reliable in a timely manner to accommodate us to make up for it .& everything else we needed. He was an amazing and a kind host . We would love to come back again and book your home. One thing I would ask for in advance would be for someone to turn the AC on in the casita. Because it does take a while for it to cool down once you arrive. Thank you for everything.

We came for an event at the Polo fields and it was perfect location. The house was super clean and in a very nice neighborhood. The pool and jacuzzi were clean and nice and warm! The guest house was a great experience as well to provide a little more space but nice and close to the main house. We look forward to coming again!

Lovely Get-A-Away La Quinta

This was a girls get a way to wind down after a family wedding. It was perfect ...the pool, hot tub, all the techy things that made access easy...the kitchen was a dream with so many high end gagets (not that we cooked but still...) The location was great - quiet with easy access to local hikes and eateries.

About the host

Hosted by Scott

Host profile image
Baltimore-native, former Shanghai expat now living in San Francisco.

Why they chose this property

I bought this beautiful desert property in December 2015 to have a private retreat to escape to – especially from the foggy and cool climate of my home in San Francisco. Given that I live in a very urban, crowded location, I was looking for a super private location that I could enjoy with friends and family. From the first moment that my realtor showed me Desert Rock Oasis I knew it met all my requirements.

What makes this property unique

* Extremely private, safe, and quiet property with its own private gate and fence
* Spacious backyard with a large pool and mountain views, space to get the vitamin D sunshine we lack with the fog, and a tropical feeling of lush gardens with palm and fruit trees
* Contemporary and spacious interior with modern amenities able to comfortably host at least 8 people
* Separate, detached (but close enough) guest house for those friends and family you want to give extra space
* Located in a quiet, cul de sac, family friendly neighborhood
* Far enough from the urban hustle and bustle but super close to a wide range of local boutique and chain restaurants and stores (living in San Francisco means chain restaurants are a treat, believe it or not!)
* Close to all the great golf and tennis facilities around the area as well as the many local festivals throughout the year
