SPECIAL OFFER:

*** BOOK A WEEK OR MORE AND GET 10% OFF YOUR STAY - automatically calculated into your total ***

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

1) BEST design! We spent 3 months remodeling and upgrading the house to make it light and bright and replaced all furnishings with fun, eclectic and high end pieces, unusual light fixtures and original artwork to make your home-away-from-home just a bit more special... We guarantee there ain't another unit like it anywhere and hopefully the pictures will speak for themselves...

2) BEST location within Legacy Villas! The complex is directly adjacent to the world famous Waldorf Astoria La Quinta Resort. Our townhome villa is located in the quiet backside of the complex, within a 2 minute walk from 3 pools and hot tubs, directly facing the stunning mountains and the walking trail right behind our unit. Or if you are looking to join the action, we are only a 4 minute walk from the beautiful main pool area that has a kids pool, cabanas, splash area, adult lap pool, general pool, the Legacy Grill restaurant (seasonal), BBQ area, a fully equipped gym, a club house and hammock garden.

3) BEST location for enjoying sun, but avoiding heat. Our back patio and balcony are both at least partially covered and face north-west, so they only get hit by direct sun in the later afternoon. Perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner al fresco while soaking in the amazing views.

4) BEST layout! This is one of the few 2-story townhome units (not a condo) with nobody above or below you. Only 1 shared wall in 1 bedroom ensures you have total peace and privacy.

5) BEST size! With almost 2000 sqft, our unit is 200-600 sqft. larger than most other units at Legacy Villas, so there is lots of space for everyone to spread out. Being a townhome, versus a condo also means that we can legally (and comfortably) sleep up to 8 guests, so our place is perfect for a multi-generational family, 2 families with kids or a group of friends. Our unit has 3 MASTER SUITES with full bathrooms + an additional full bathroom downstairs. Two of the masters have king beds, the 3rd bedroom has a full over full bunk bed and an extra twin mattress, so it can accommodate all the kids or teens in one room and they even get their own bathroom.

6) BEST amenities! We follow the spirit of "more is more" and strive to provide EVERYTHING for you, so all you need to bring is your clothes and food. We have WIFI, cable, TVs in every room, Netflix, everything for fun days at the pool (towels, coolers in different sizes, lots of pool toys, life jackets and puddle jumpers for the little ones) a fully stocked kitchen with all kinds of appliances (and yes, we have a crocpot and coffee grinder, drip coffee maker AND a Keurig), electric BBQ on our patio, a laundry room with front loading HE washer & dryer and detergent provided, bathroom amenities, board games, books, and so much more! We really hope to meet and exceed your every need.

7) BEST place for families. We are parents and know what it entails to travel with kids. Our property has a full over full bunk bed (your kids will love you!), high chair, 2 pack & plays, including bedding, baby monitor, rock and play for babies, safety gates, plastic dishes & utensils, wagon, single and double stroller + everything you need for a day at the pool with little ones - IT'S ALL THERE FOR YOU! Plus a fully stocked kids room with blocks, books, drawing supplies, stuffed animals, games, barbies, movies and Netflix - the kids will be kept busy and happy for days.

8) BEST parking option in our 2 car attached garage! Only a small number of units have attached garages and anyone who has been to the desert knows it's priceless.

9) BEST place for anyone with allergies: We replaced ALL carpets with beautiful wood laminate flooring and tile, so that we can ensure it can be thoroughly cleaned. So no old and dusty carpets in our unit...

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 spacious, remodeled and fully furnished townhouse offers 3 bedrooms/4 baths full baths and is nestled against the foot of the Santa Rosa mountains with unbelievable views and total privacy. Surrounded by desert mountains, trees and beautiful 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 love 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 20+ years. 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.

In 2017, we decided to purchase the ultimate vacation rental at Legacy Villas in La Quinta - one of our all time favorite vacation spots in the world and finally a place that we also get to enjoy ourselves. We are so excited to share this slice of heaven with you. And if you are considering owning a unit yourself: Feel free to reach out - I am also an experienced realtor :-)

Why they chose this property

We used to regularly stay at the adjacent La Quinta Resort, but when we visited Legacy Villas, it was love at first sight! The complex and its amenities are truly exceptional. The beautiful Spanish architecture, the abundance of perfectly maintained pools, the large gym, the hammock garden and outdoor fireplaces, bougainvillea, fragrant fruit trees and desert landscape everywhere, the walking trail surrounding the complex and even just the guarded front gate - we were thoroughly impressed!

We almost bought a 3 bedroom lock-off unit on the spot that day, but decided to wait for a while until "just the right unit" came on the market. I had a long list of things I was looking for and this unit finally had it all...

What makes this property unique

I had so much fun designing this villa! It really is a unique property in every way, based on location, layout, design, comfort and the hopefully pictures should speak for themselves. We went above and beyond to make this an exceptional and fun place to vacation in style. So if you are looking for something special that is guaranteed to please everyone in your party: You just found THE ONE!
