We had a wonderful stay at this excellent 3 bedroom condo. It is very clean and comfortable. Everything was perfectly organized, and the host had thought of every detail to make our stay as easy and comfortable as possible. Location was great and check-in and check-out was very easy. Highly recommend it.

Beautiful Property

This beautifully remodeled townhome in the desirable Monterey Golf and Country Club was absolutely perfect. We've stayed in several and this one was by far the nicest and a great host as well.

Palm Desert Paradise

Everything about this condo is well above par!! Located on Monterey Golf Course with the Santa Rosa Mountains as a backdrop brings a new vista every day. This condo is very neat, clean and comfortable and in a quiet area. The updated appliances in the well-stocked kitchen makes meal prep a breeze. The open-floor plan allows for everyone to be included, whether prepping a meal, eating or relaxing in the comfortably furnished living room. The bedrooms are roomy with plenty of closet space. Guests are encouraged to take advantage of the community’s varied activities. We enjoyed playing golf and having meals at the clubhouse and felt welcomed everywhere we went. Karin checked on us during our stay and made sure we had everything we needed. When our golf clubs arrived earlier than planned, Karin made sure they were put into the garage before we arrived. She was only a text away if we needed anything!This complex is centrally located in Palm Desert where shopping and sightseeing in the Coachella Valley is plentiful! We are looking forward to our next stay in 2026!Jim and Linda F

Hello! We grew up in the frozen tundra of Minnesota & relocated to southern California for our careers. We enjoy everything the desert has to offer! Golf, tennis, pickleball, hiking and biking are our favorite activities, so when the opportunity to purchase a home in Palm Desert came up, we jumped at the chance! We are fortunate to own a piece of paradise and want to share it with others! We hope you find our home and the surrounding area as beautiful and as exciting as we do!

Why they chose this property

MCC is an amazing, active and friendly community. Whether golfing, playing tennis, pickleball, bocce or enjoying a spirited game of trivia during Pub Night, this super-fun, welcoming community offers something for everyone! Plus those incredible mountain views take one's breath away!!

What makes this property unique

Our spacious, beautifully renovated home is essentially equipped with everything you need for that perfect long weekend or even several months stay. We are conveniently located in the heart of Palm Desert, close to el Paseo, Indian Wells, LaQuinta and more!
