Have stayed in several homes in La Quinta the last 12 years, this was well stocked and very comfortable and a beautiful view of the mountains. If you have a celebration coming up, this is the place to be.
We had a great experience with our stay. Home was stunning, property manager was prompt and helpful. I’m so glad we found this property! Will definitely rent again when we need it.

Very easy check in process. The home and property were as pictured and kitchen stocked with everything needed to cook a great meal. The rooms had shades that blackout which was a great touch if you wanted to sleep in. Lara, the property manager was prompt with answering questions and easy to connect with. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Thank you Julie! We are glad you appreciated the black out shades and enjoyed your stay.
This house was ideal for a large family coming together to relax and just enjoy being home. We found the floor plan with the pool table, gourmet kitchen, casitas and outdoor amenities to be fabulous. You really don't need to leave the home, other than to golf or hike locally.
Amazing!!

It gives us great pleasure to know that every action taken from the entire team, to provide you the highest quality of service, did meet your expectations.
