OUTSTANDING ESTATE! LUXURY PRIVATE RESORT FEEL HOME, FABULOUS LOCATION
Palms on Joshua is a beautifully appointed 3,614 sq ft home with a further 800sq ft of covered patio areas. A 5 bedroom /5.5 bathroom home situated close to all amenities on a lot of over 13,500 sq ft.
This luxurious home is a fantastic romantic retreat for two as well as a gathering place for special friends. This property has it all!
This home is a combination of luxury and elegance. Situated in a perfect location - less than a three block (5 minute) stroll to the world famous El Paseo where you can walk to high end, boutique shops and amazing restaurants. This is one of the things our guests love most. The house has a spacious sprawling floor plan with 5 deluxe Master Suites. Completely walled for privacy and enclosed by mature ficus trees - Staying here is like vacationing at your own private resort. One step inside the front door and you will know you made the right choice. THE OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES This estate home features include a gorgeous free form pool with integrated waterfall spa and a poolside Conversation area with al fresco dining space. You'll also find an additional outdoor seating area centered on a custom fire feature. There are fruit trees and a hard-lined gas barbecue station - so you'll never have to worry about the tank running out. Shade umbrellas and 6 chaise chairs dot the perimeter of the pool offering the perfect combination of full sun and shaded areas. There is something very special about this home, It is the type of desert paradise guests return to year after year.
INDOOR SPACES:
There is an easy elegance about this home. Impressive high ceilings and a soothing color palette, comfortable designer furnishings, beautiful artwork and six flat screen televisions for hours of binge-watching pleasure. At the center of it all is the huge open well-stocked chef's kitchen that has been carefully space planned for group meal prep. This is the perfect holiday home - well suited for long weekends, week-long stays, by the month or by the season.
SLEEPING QUARTERS:
Like a specialty boutique hotel, all five sleeping quarters are beautifully decorated and feature hospitality-quality mattresses (you will never want to get out of these beds!), flat screen televisions, and ample storage. The west Wing is spectacular - featuring three King Master Suites, one of which has direct pool access- each of the suites has it’s own private bathroom. The East wing has the fourth master bedroom suite. It has direct pool access, a private en suite bath , and large walk in closet. The casita has direct access to the pool
The home is centrally located in the heart of Palm Desert just three blocks from the famed El Paseo drive -- Casual eateries, fine dining, coffee spots, art galleries and specialty boutiques are all within walking distance. There are Casinos, Golf courses and public tennis courts close by. You'll be just minutes from movie theaters, museums, and live performance venues. You'll even find grocery stores, burger joints, sandwich shops and every other convenience imaginable, all within a half mile from this gorgeous property. We would love to have you stay with us. By placing a reservation you are accepting the terms and conditions of our house agreement posted on the VRBO website. We look forward to having you as our guest!

About the host
Hosted by Debbie
We live in Scotland in the UK but love to get away to the sun. Ever since we discovered Palm Desert 28 years ago we have been vacationing here as often as we can. There was no question we had to buy our own little part of Paradise. We hope you will enjoy the desert life as much as we do and want you to have a fantastic time here in the desert.
Why they chose this property
We have been visiting for the past 25 years to enjoy the desert climate. We chose this location for it's proximity to El Paseo the shopping, entertainment and restaurants. Due to the large lot it is perfect to enjoy the outdoor living. Its like your own personal resort.
What makes this property unique
People can expect privacy and with the house new can expect all the most up to date appliances and technology of HD ready televisons and sound system. Enjoy the outdoor kitchen with 36' grill within the large landscaped back yard. Relax in the pebble tech pool and waterfall spa.
