A true gem with old world charm throughout. The Margarette is a 1948 classic with lush resort like gardens. French doors facing the courtyard's beautiful fountain and pool views. Find your Zen in your private courtyard with working fountain and large swivel patio set to enjoy that morning coffee. Perfect place for yoga, meditation and watching all the hummingbirds. Your Villa is as comfortable as it is spacious. Kitchenette, HUGE walk in stone grotto shower and beautiful views await. It’s quiet, tranquil. Centrally located, walking distance to El Paseo and Indian Wells. Coachella, Indio and Palm Springs is a short Uber ride away.

Guests have access to backyard, patio, lounge chairs and brand new salt water pebble tech pool is 10 x 30. Large enough to social distance. Guests have plenty of room to roam throughout. Chaise lounges set up in right in front of your room and the view is amazing.

Brand new BBQ installed with natural gas. Here it’s BBQ season all year round. Throw on some steaks and have poolside dinner. Nothing like Al Fresco dinning and no dinner reservations required.

The days are beautiful but the evenings are magical. The lighting around the property is spectacular.
Perfect place to get away from it all.

Pool is for guest use only. The pool is private in my backyard. I have 2 units within the property that I rent and I live in the main house. Both units have a two person maximum. Anyone of those guests have the same pool access. The backyard is shared. The courtyard is private for this unit is for this unit only.

Extra charge to heat pool and or jacuzzi. Cost depends on time of year.

Where your stay is the experience.

If you have any questions please let me know. Where you stay is a big decision and I'm always available via VRBO messaging.

Private and Comfortable
The quiet, private two unit home was very comfortable and close in PD to all amenities. Margret is a terrific host and on site in her separate home to take care of any needs immediately. Would definitely stay again.

Tennis in the Desert
Property was very cozy and comfortable. We didn’t have time to use the pool as we were at the Indian Wells tennis tournament, but it was relaxing to sit beside and enjoy morning coffee. We also loved the welcoming committee known as Duchess the cat.

About the host

Hosted by margret mercieca

Host profile image
Something about me, I've spent 40 years as a manager at Costco and I've learned a lot about service. Treat your customers right and they come back again and again.

I fell in love with traveling many years ago. Traveling awakens my soul and the experiences along the way are priceless. If you are traveling from 100 miles or from across the country, it's nice to find a place that makes you feel like you can relax after a full day of exploring. It's the attention to little details that make the difference. I've spent many evenings sharing a glass of wine with my guests exchanging travel stories.

Backyard design has always been another passion of mine and you'll see once you step inside my private oasis. Never knew how much color you can see in the desert. Bougainville thrives here and the colors are so bold and expressive.

Pull out the bottle of wine and enjoy the carefully cultivated experience you'll find at The Margarette.

Why they chose this property

Neighborhood is quiet and centrally located in one of the best location in the desert. Never settle for ordinary, California living at it's best.

What makes this property unique

Home was built in 1948 and has been carefully preserved. It's so tranquil and colorful that it really puts you in a Zen place. So close to the heart of everything you would come to the desert for. You can walk to El Paseo, the Rodeo Drive of the desert. Mall is 3 miles away, La Quinta Tennis Gardens 3 miles away. Shuttles to Coachella and Stagecoach 1 mile away. Palm Springs 20 miles away. Living Desert 3 miles away. And you really feel like your in a resort. I LOVE IT HERE.
