++ 10 reasons for why you just lucked out to find the ULTIMATE vacation rental in La Quinta! ++

1) BEST location! Legacy Villas are directly adjacent to the world famous Waldorf Astoria La Quinta Resort that is a lovely 10 minute walk or 3 minute drive from our unit. "La Casita #5" is located in the backside of the community, DIRECTLY ADJACENT to our favorite satellite pool (with bathroom and shower), an oversized hot tub and stunning mountain views in the background.

2) BEST Community: Legacy Villas truly has it all! We are only a quick 3-4 minute walk from the beautiful main pool area that has a kids pool, splash area, adult lap pool, general pool, cabanas at no charge, the Legacy Grill restaurant (seasonal), gas BBQ area, a fully equipped gym, a club house, 2 outdoor fireplaces and a hammock garden. And we are only a 2 minute walk from the start of the gorgeous, private walking trail that surrounds the community. Legacy Villas is an EXCEPTIONAL place to stay!

3) BEST design! We spent over 2 months remodeling and upgrading our villa & studio to make them light and bright and replaced all furnishings with fun, eclectic pieces, cool light fixtures and fans, recessed lighting and wallpaper that screams "VACATION!" The studio was specifically designed to create a luxurious, relaxed and romantic setting for a desert retreat in style.

4) BEST location for enjoying sun! Our front patio faces west and is fully covered, so it only gets hit by the sun in the later afternoon. Perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner al fresco while soaking in the gorgeous views. And the pool with loungers and umbrellas is literally right outside your doorstep...

5) BEST layout! This is one of a very small number of SINGLE STORY lock off units. Most units are 2 story, so with nobody above or below, you'll enjoy a lot more privacy.

6) BEST amenities! We follow the spirit of "more is more" and strive to provide a number of little extras that will help make your stay more comfortable and fun. We have a smart TV with Cable and Netflix, inside and outside we provide a table with 2 chairs to enjoy proper meals or you'll have a place to set up your laptop, we provide a small cooler, pool floaties & towels, bathroom amenities (bath salts, toiletries in case you forgot anything), books, games, a comfy armchair to relax in and a fully stocked kitchenette.

7) BEST bed! A lot of thought has gone into creating the ultimate, romantic canopy bed! Eastern King size, super comfortable pillow top mattress, soft, all cotton linens, a choice of pillows, fluffy down duvet during the cooler months - you will never want to get up in the mornings...

8) BEST Kitchenette! This is a studio unit that does NOT have a full kitchen, however, we really try to make the best of our kitchenette that has a small fridge with small freezer compartment, microwave, toaster, blender and a 12 cup drip coffee maker with coffee, creamer and sugar provided. We also provide glassware (including wine glasses) and coffee cups in addition to basic dishes, paper towels, knives and a cutting board. With 4 different grocery stores only 5 minutes away (including Trader Joes), you'll have plenty of options for preparing simple meals.

9) BEST parking: There is lots of street parking directly across our unit, super convenient for loading and unloading and some shaded parking just a few steps away.

10) BEST Management! We started our hosting journey in 2009 and have welcomed thousands of happy travelers at our 10 SoCal properties over the years. We have perfected the recipe for an amazing stay and our units are truly operated as a "Vacation Rental By Owner", so there are no property management added fees or long response times. While we live 2 hours away, we do have a local contact, should you ever require immediate assistance. Otherwise, we are always just a text or phone call away.

+++++

The gorgeous, remodeled and fully furnished studio offers a bedroom, kitchenette and a full bath and is perfectly located facing one of the beautiful satellite pools. Surrounded by desert mountains, trees and stunning adobe architecture, our home is part of Legacy Villas, a resort community that is directly adjacent to the famous, historic Waldorf Astoria La Quinta Resort - one of the most beautiful hotels in the world. We fell in love the moment we entered Legacy Villas and hope you'll enjoy this magical area as much as we do. We have spared no expense to turn this unit into a truly exceptional place to vacation in style. So if you are just looking for a place to crash, this is NOT the place for you...

About the host

Hosted by Britta Wagner

Host profile image
Hi there! I am Britta - an import from Germany, but I have lived in Southern California for the past 25+ years and still loving the never ending supply of sunshine :-)

Having worked in the travel industry for most of my life, my husband Robert and I have traveled extensively, including several trips with our 2 girls. We just LOVE staying at private vacation rentals, since it's just so much for comfortable, spacious and affordable, especially for families. So in 2009 we started "Mickey's Magical Getaways" and created 4 amazing vacation rentals by Disneyland and have since hosted well over 10,000 excited Disney fans.

Why they chose this property

La Quinta has always had a special place in our hearts and is truly one of our favorite spots on this planet. Is it the air? The sky? The mountains? The palm trees? The climate? We don't know for sure, but every time we come out to visit (even if only for a few hours), we come home relaxed and recharged.

For many years we stayed at the La Quinta Resort next door for our anniversaries. After 2 years of looking and waiting for just the right unit, we were THRILLED to find the perfect townhouse to buy at Legacy Villas in 2017.

"One CHIC Desert Retreat - La VILLA" (VRBO #1053654) was born. I put my decade of experience in design, decorating and vacation rental management to use and really went above and beyond to create an extraordinary place that is quite different from all the others at Legacy Villas. We believe in "more is more" and love to spoil our guests who keep coming back year after year, leaving us glowing 5 star reviews.

In 2021 we decided to expand and took advantage of a unique opportunity that we frankly couldn't pass up. We scored two 3BR, single story lock--off units that are directly adjacent to our favorite pool and RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER! We split each 3BR lock off unit into a studio ("La Casita") with kitchenette and a 2 BR/2BA ("La Casa") with full kitchen, living/dining rooms. This enables us to accommodate groups from 2 all the way to 14 guests, or if you also want to add our townhouse, we can now sleep up to 22 guests all at once!
