Mid Century Fabulous!

Jeff and Donna's Sandpiper condo is the ultimate mid-century vacation spot, and we had the most relaxing and fun stay. The kitchen is beyond well-stocked, the beds are soooo comfy, and the Sandpiper condo experience as a whole was delightful. The owners are communicative and responsive, and we hope to stay here again. We have rented many VRBO rentals, and this is at the top of our list!

Beautiful accommodations

**Review for Rental Accommodation**I recently had the pleasure of staying at this rental accommodation, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! The location was simply perfect, situated just minutes away from where we were holding our work events. This made commuting a breeze and allowed us to maximize our time.The property manager was incredibly responsive, addressing any questions or concerns we had promptly, which added to the overall positive experience. Additionally, the place was spotless and well-maintained, offering a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Overall, this rental exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect in every way

We enjoyed our stay so much - it surpassed all expectations. The condo is more like a small house, with fun midcentury decor, and very much in keeping with the Palm Springs/Palm Desert vibe. We didn't swim, but the pool was beautiful and right outside the patio door. The added bonus was the fruit trees on the property. We picked grapefruit and oranges every morning for fresh squeezed juice, which was divine. We will definitely be back!

What a perfect little condo with a pool!!

Great location next to everything you want or need. We went to the music festival in Indio and the beds were very comfy to come back to. It really felt like a second home. It had basically everything you could possibly need when you come to the gate. Make sure you park immediately to your left. That was the only thing that was a little confusing at first then take the sidewalk around the corner and the doors right there on the left, we really had a great experience and if we ever go back, we will definitely try and get this Vrbo again !!

Wonderful Sandpiper Getaway

Our family getaway from the madness of 2020 was excellent and much needed . Jeff and Donna's condo is wonderful. Beautiful mid century design and a great central location in Palm Desert. The kitchen is totally stocked so cooking up anything you want is a breeze. The bbq in the back was great but much gets much hotter than my Weber at home so keep an eye on your food. The hosts were wonderful and communication was a breeze. I would like to note that the listing says there is a hot tub but at the time of our stay there was no hot tub. Not that we wanted to get in a hot tub when it was 100 degrees but depending on the time of the year you may want to jump in a hot tub.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Donna Johnson

Host profile image
As a Canadian who came to the California in 1990 and never left, my wife and I discovered the desert a couple some years back. We would travel here on Fridays, hanging out with people that come from all over the world to escape snowy and cold winters. We love the world class amenities, shopping, the incredible outlets just 30 minutes away, along with several places in town for great coffee and tea.
We live and work approximately one hour from the condo and hope to enjoy it with family and friends for years to come when it is not being rented out.

Why they chose this property

We were introduced to Sandpiper living by some friends in the spring of 2014. We were blown away at how special this place really is. Of course having been designed by a world class architect helps, but the natural beauty of the desert and the incredible sunsets are really something to experience. This unit caught our eye because it had been owned by another Canadian living in California and she had it for many years and we knew it had been well taken care of. When it is not being used by our guests, we look forward to using it as an escape and a gateway to all the desert has to offer. It is a place where you can park the car and just walk to anywhere you need to be. Out of milk, just cross the street. Want a Starbucks, well that is about a 4 minute stroll. Do you like the California Pizza Kitchen? It is about a six minute walk. So when you are not here to enjoy, we will.

What makes this property unique

There are many great units in Sandpiper, but you have found one the best. Unlike other condo complexes, Sandpiper has been designed to offer large green spaces. There are hundreds of condos in the desert but this area is truly unique and very well known in the community. We know that you'll love it as much as we do, so don't hesitate to contact us, we'd love to help facilitate your time away from home. And when you stay in our condo, you can do so with confidence knowing we are only an hour away in case of an emergency.
