The Hermosa is a 3-Bed/4-Bath, 2-story townhome in the Legacy Villas at La Quinta. Located towards the back of this 40-acre California desert retreat, our home is nestled in an area of the resort known for being more private and exclusive than the more common front of the community. RECENTLY RENOVATED and REFRESHED with brand new kitchen appliances, fresh paint, a stunning Dining Room Set, and new Living Room Furniture. No need to worry about parking because this home has an attached 2-car garage with finished floors.
Our spacious home sits up against the desert, commanding a 180° unobstructed up-close view of the surrounding mountains. Unlike most units in Legacy Villas, the outdoor areas of our home do not face other patios and balconies, allowing your group serene privacy while enjoying the outdoor Patio, or relaxing on the upstairs Balcony.
The main floor boasts a Great Room, with plenty of space for the whole family to spread out. Dine in elegance under our rustic candle chandeliers, lounge in front of the TV on the comfy sofa and loveseat, snack at the Breakfast Bar, bring out your inner-chef in our fully-equipped kitchen, or get romantic by the fireplace.
While the inside is lovely, the home’s true beauty shines outside on the tiled and spacious Patio, seemingly hugged in the arms of the mountain itself. BBQ to your heart’s content. Share stories around the outdoor Living Room. Enjoy a glass of wine while watching the moon and stars move across the night sky.
The King-Bed Suite, located on the ground floor, is separated from the Great Room by a hallway with an elegant mirror. The suite has its own TV, fireplace, and King bath ensuite complete with soaking tub, separate sinks, and oversized step-in shower. A side door opens directly onto the outdoor Patio.
Upstairs, the Queen-Bed Suite has its own TV and private full-bath ensuite. A side door leads to an airy Balcony with cushioned lounging chairs and matching ottomans: a peaceful place to read a book, or get lost in your favorite audiobook or podcast.
Also upstairs, the Twin-Bed Suite has its own TV and private full-bath ensuite. A side door leads to the same airy Balcony shared with the Queen Suite. The twin beds can be converted into a king bed for an additional fee.
The 4th full-bathroom is located on the ground floor, next to the laundry room (full-size washer and dryer). This is the perfect place to shower up before heading off to the pools!
When you escape to our home, we hope you feel the same sense of “ahhhhh” and tranquil elegance as soon as you walk through the doors. A perfect place to recharge and rejuvenate, the Hermosa awaits.

Skip was great. The place was lovely and well-appointed. I liked the location in Legacy (at the back, more private than the central rental options). Nice to have 2 patios. There are some repairs the owners need to make that I hope they fix for the next guests. Would definitely stay at this property again.
We loved our time at this particular unit. It was beautiful and had the best big table looking right out to the mountain to enjoy the view while eating!
Pperfect location, great size, gorgeous views, very well appointed, kitchen very well set up and property manager easy to reach and extremely responsive. Altogether a wonderful stay.
Great place comfortable for 6 adults, very private, close to several pools. Great food in old town La QuintaWe golfed, went to Sunnylands, day in Joshua tree, Day in Palm Springs, day watching Tennis…lots of relaxation
This is a very nice place to stay. It is well kept and the location next to the mountain is wonderful. Skip is very easy to work with and available when you need to reach him.

Thank you Cristine! We are glad to hear you had a nice trip. :-)
Location was great and close to our Coachella pick up. This is our second time staying at this community but first at this home. We reallly liked how secluded this home was and how the patio faced the mountain so we didnt have to worry about neighbors. The home is very spacious.
We had our best family vacation yet in this beautiful unit and location. Skip is the best property manager, period. Thanks for the experience and vaca memories!

Thank you, Lisa! We are glad to hear you had a fantastic stay. :-)
My family had a great stay. Everything was better than the pictures. The location a one of the best in the complex. It is quiet but steps away from a pool. The view of the mountain from the porch and the rooms is really special. Will definitely return!

Thank you, Rebecca! Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay.
The house was ideally located in the back of the community and the grounds are amazing. Everything was well kept and maintained. The host was responsive and provided a detailed summary of the accommodations and surrounding attractions. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
The property is wonderfully located in Legacy Villas, offering a private deck area but still close to a pool and other amenities. Skip was helpful and responsive. The home is comfortable well stocked, definitely recommend!
Property is just as described and very clean. It’s well-equipped, comfortable and nicely decorated. The overall development is also very well-maintained and beautiful. We loved the area with tennis available at the nearby public park and golf available next door at the La Quinta resort. Overall, a wonderful stay.

Thank you, Catherine! We are glad to hear you had a wonderful stay.
This townhome is in a lovely community with gorgeous scenery and many lovely pools. The home itself is well kept and lacks for nothing. We enjoyed the outdoor seating area very much. If you like hiking, the home is not far from some great trails. There is good golf nearby. I'd stay here again if I were to come to the La Quinta area.
This home was perfect for our short getaway! The home was immaculate and the location was perfect! My kids stayed in the twin suite and was perfect for them. The accommodations worked out beautifully with the pools as well. My kids had a blast and so did my family members. Highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Skip Davis
Arcadia Desert Vacation Rentals specializes in renting vacation properties. Every property listed on our site has been viewed and approved by our team. This ensures that we are familiar with every house which leaves our property owners and renters satisfied. We are a family site that aims to make visitors and their loved ones feel secure in their vacation home choice without having to worry about whether the area is safe for their family and friends.
Why they chose this property
We loved Legacy Villas from the start. Not only is it a 24-hour guard gated resort community, it has 12 pools, 11 spas, and 19 fountains spread out among beautifully landscaped and manicured grounds. While it may feel like an escape and "away from it all," convenient shopping and restaurants can be found just minutes from the main gate. You can have serenity here if you want, but if you have kids, there are plenty of kid-friendly amenities as well.
