Bright, bold, and full of personality, Tangerine House brings a splash of pure joy to downtown Joshua Tree.

When it is time to recharge, three bedrooms offer versatile sleeping arrangements—including a king suite, a queen room, and two double beds—each styled with colorful bedding and cheerful accents.



The fully enclosed backyard serves as your private desert playground under open skies. Challenge friends to a game of ping pong, grill up a feast on the grill and dine together at the outdoor table. As evening settles, light the propane fire pit for evening conversation, then step into the bubbling hot tub for a front row seat to the brilliant dark night sky.

LOCAL ADD-ON EXPERIENCES

From sound baths and in-home massages to stargazing under some of the darkest skies in Southern California, we've handpicked local vendors to match whatever mood you're in. Book a personal chef for a lazy night in, saddle up for a horseback ride, or take a guided hike through the National Park or other local trails. However you want to spend your time here, relaxing or adventuring, the desert (and our favorite locals) has you covered. Once your reservation is confirmed, let us know you are interested and we will connect you!



Guest Access:

The property and house is yours to roam and relax.



Getting Around:

We recommend traveling by car to explore Joshua Tree for maximum flexibility, as ride sharing services are unreliable. If you prefer not to drive, the local taxi service Lucky 777 is a dependable option. Our property offers free parking for up to four vehicles to ensure your car is kept secure during your stay.



Other Things to Note:

3:00PM Check-In: We'd love for you to check in before 8pm so you have plenty of daylight to settle in and get comfortable before dark.



HVAC: Central heating and air conditioning are provided throughout the home to keep guests comfortable in every season.



Pets Allowed: We welcome dogs for a fee of $60 per dog, with a maximum of 2 dogs per stay. Please note that no other pets are permitted at this property.



Guest Policy: We only allow the number of guests listed as the maximum occupancy for this property, so any additional day guests must be requested and approved in advance. No extra overnight guests are permitted beyond those included in your reservation.



Watch your Step: This desert land holds onto bits of its past, so you may spot the occasional rusty object or piece of glass in the yard, please wear shoes anytime you're outside. You'll also be sharing the landscape with local snakes and scorpions. They want nothing to do with you, so if you see one, just back away calmly and quietly



Wood Burning Fires: We do not permit wood-burning fires anywhere on the property at any time, including in fire pits or fireplaces, due to the high risk of wildfire in our area. This policy is strictly enforced for the safety of our guests, neighbors, and the surrounding landscape,.



Desert Critters: Please keep doors closed while entering and exiting, curious critters will let themselves in given the chance. Desert wildlife is part of what makes this area special, expect sightings of jackrabbits, tortoises, roadrunners, quail, and lizards. You may also spot coyotes, rattlesnakes, scorpions, or occasionally a bobcat or mountain lion. Most just want their space, so it's best to give them yours.



Camera/ Decibel Monitor: This property has forward-facing exterior security cameras, but there are no cameras anywhere inside the home. We also use noise decibel monitors indoors to help avoid disturbing neighbors. These only measure sound levels and never record audio.

I've stayed in a number of vacation rentals in Joshua Tree, and this one was my favorite. It was also a great value. Pretty well babyproofed too! My dog loved the backyard and my 3 y/o loved the hot tub. Very easily walkable to bustling downtown Joshua Tree and a quick drive to the West Entrane to the park.

Love the house and all the amenities, garage conversion to a game room, nicely decorated house with great bathrooms. Outside was nice also just didn't get to use like i would normally because of weather. Definitely would rent house again, close to the main road and to the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park.

Awesome place!

Our stay at Tangerine House was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the attention to detail and the serene atmosphere. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need.The outdoor space was fantastic! Relaxing in the hot tub, sitting by the fire pit, and soaking in the incredible stargazing at night made our stay truly unforgettable. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, providing clear instructions and great recommendations for local dining and activities.This place truly felt like a home away from home. We can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing desert escape!

AMAZING Stay - Would Highly Recommend!

This property was the BEST vacation rental property I have ever booked. The house was clean and tastefully decorated, complete with such functional spaces for relaxing and enjoying one's time in Joshua Tree. We were at maximum capacity during our stay (8 adults) and still found it very comfortable. The common areas are large enough to make and enjoy sizeable meals, and the living space and garage game area were phenomenal to hang out in. Strong winds during our stay kept us from using the outdoor spaces (apart from the hot tub, nothing can keep me from a hot tub), but they looked absolutely lovely as well. The location was also great, within walking distance to several restaurants and shops and an easy drive into the National Park. In addition to the excellence of the property itself, I wanted to highlight the ease of the user manual provided; everything was clear and well-articulated, and made it easy for us to safely and effectively utilize the many amenities this property had to offer (grill, hot tub, etc.) and made the check-in and check-out process so straightforward. I cannot recommend this property highly enough! AMAZING stay!
