The Library at The Sea of Tranquility w/ Pool, Hot Tub & Outdoor Kitchen
The ultimate writer's & thinker's retreat. Impeccable attention to detail, great collection of books, steps away from the stunning shared swimming pool, hot tub, and outdoor kitchen at The Sea of Tranquility. Enjoy perfect quiet & solitude, or meet the host, who lives in the main house a few hundred yards away.
The Library is very private and separate from the rest of the compound. So you can either retreat or engage with others by the pool. There are lots of hikes in the hills behind the property, with miles and miles of government land as beautiful as anything in the park. Full kitchen, luxurious bathroom, with double shower and enormous separate bathtub.
Our evolving desert compound is located a mile & 1/2 up a dirt road, on 6 acres, adjoining 100s of acres of gov.t land. Nobody under 18 is allowed on the property. The pool and jacuzzi is 80 feet long. Ideal for soaking, sunbathing, and swimming laps. Pool area is clothing optional. Most go naked in the hot tub (which will be hot at sunset and into evening, year round.)
We try to cultivate an atmosphere of freedom, relaxation, creative community, and communion with nature. We get many return visitors and we have to remind ourselves some of our dearest friends were once guests. That said, we also enjoy and respect people’s right to a private experience. Please do the same.
There is a fire pit, but please only use if there is absolutely no wind and it’s not too hot and dry out. Bring your own wood.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host
Hosted by Tao Ruspoli
Half Italian, half American film director, photographer, passionate musician and co-founder of The Bombay Beach Biennale. I love the intersection of art, community, architecture, design, and hospitality which is fostered by hosting on Airbnb.
My grandfather had a commune in Italy where he removed the locks from all the doors, psychedelic exploration was encouraged, free love was practiced, and all were welcome.
Today, I feel that we can pursue the same ideals, but having learned from the mistakes and excesses of the 1960s. Airbnb allows us to to have this always evolving, self sustaining communal experience, without the chaos and dysfunction that sometimes came with it (In other words, we get people’s luggage, but hopefully not their baggage!)
The films I am most proud of are Being in the World, “a celebration of being human in a technological age” (through the writings of Martin Heidegger,) and Monogamish, a quest to understand love in the 21st century, starring Dan Savage, Esther Perel and Christopher Ryan.
These days I spend most of my time playing piano and fiddling with synths and guitars in my beloved recording studio on the Yucca Valley compound or down in Bombay Beach while we plan the next Biennale.
Please feel free to get in touch with any questions, concerns or potential creative collaborations.
