About this property

Steps to Resort All 5 Star Reviews 2 Masters, 2 patio, 1 private. Recent remodel

ALL REVIEWS 5*! Everything you could possibly want is available at this fully equipped Home Away from Home. Initially rented exclusively through La Quinta Resort Leasing, this home has all premium upgrades the Resort requires. This very special 2 Master Bedroom floor plan with great separation of bedrooms offers everything needed for the perfect getaway.


Enter through your front gate, which faces the Resort, and walk through your lushly appointed walkway, romantically lit with solar lights in the evening. Pick juicy grapefruits and lemons
from your own trees. Enjoy a game of backgammon on your Bistro Table, relax with friends in your sitting area and enjoy the bubbling fountain: music to your ears! Relax out here, especially on evenings during the Season, and privately enjoy live outdoor music from the Resort. Listen to Alexa inside or out! Set up music to the Bluetooth spreaker.

The remodeled, fully stocked kitchen is light and bright thanks to the new solar light with solar night light, (there are 5 throughout the home) and a kitchen door that opens to your lush front entertaining patio. The kitchen has all new appliances, Keurig coffee maker, milk frother, 4 slice toaster, electric wine opener, Vitamix and so much more! Entertain in style: the Dining Room table seats 8 with an extra leaf in the guest closet and extra chairs at the desk in each bedroom. Full charging station with plugs for phones, iPads etc.

The Living Room has two recliner chairs (each reclines two
positions!) and genuine leather couch, (both sides recline), to enjoy your favorite movie or show on your large, wall-mounted flatscreen TV. Cable, Wifi, Internet, Sports channels, DVD player, and Universal Remote and Sound Bar included. The center console holds all types of books, games, cards, and coloring books, and the coffee table will always have many choices of current magazines. Create a romantic setting with the many candles provided, the cozy fireplace, a large assortment of pillows, even a picnic basket - wine glasses included!

Open your sliding glass door to your own patio with lovely mountain views, divided on both sides from neighboring homes. Enjoy meals cooked on your new gas grill and curl up with a good book or magazine on one of the new pillowed loungers.

The Master Bedroom Suite is complete with a wall-mounted flatscreen TV, stocked end tables with drawers, iHome charger alarm clock radios, down pillows, vibrating back rest, large dresser, and an assortment of suitcase holders. Make yourself at home with plush robes (cool summer and warm winter) for your lounging pleasure. There is also a desk and chair in case there's work to be done - but we hope you're just writing postcards with "Wish you were here!!" The remodeled Master Bath has limestone countertops, new faucets and sinks, newly painted cabinets and hardware, a second oversized closet, a glass-surrounded soaking tub, and dual headed shower with hand held attachment. A basket of bathroom goodies will be provided in both bathrooms. The linen closet in the Master suite contains extra pillows, towels, sheets, softy blankets, a heating pad, chaise lounge cover, neck massager, electric rollers and - our in-home spa favorite! - a paraffin tub, with wax and gloves!

The second remodeled Master Suite has the same upgraded features as well as a gorgeous view of the front patio. Open your windows and let the fountain lull you to sleep. All windows
are screened, and both the front and kitchen doors have disappearing screen doors.

The laundry room is located between the two bedrooms.
Laundry soap, fabric softener, stain removers, Oxyclean, (including WineOut, our personal life-saver!), dryer sheets, and extra towels are provided. There is a new iron, ironing board, and a steamer. There are extra light bulbs and cleaning supplies stocked. The linen cupboard in the hallway includes beach towels, extra towels, lounge chair towel holders, visors, 😎 sunglasses and more games.

The garage has four (4) bikes with locks, two with baskets, pool toys, floats, lawn games, tennis rackets and balls, golf clubs and balls as well as extra cooking utensils, crockpot, turkey cooker, electric skillet, griddle, Vitamix etc. This is YOUR HOMEAWAY FROM HOME!!

A wonderful place to stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. It was spotlessly clean and I have never stayed anywhere that had everything you could need! The location was fantastic and the townhouse was perfect for four adults.

PERFECT LOCATION in LA QUINTA

Katie's property is a 6 STAR location maybe even 7 STARS if either were possible. If you are looking at properties in the La Quinta area, it would be YOUR absolute loss not to rent this location. Over the years I have had the pleasure staying at many rental locations and I have never experienced the level of detail or warmth as I did at this rental property. She has set up the property to feel like you are staying at a friends or families La Quinta condo, not VRBO.

Great place and great location

We typically stay at one of the local resorts but switched it up. Will likely book this place every time we come back. Every amenity you can think of (ground coffee, various coffee machines, bikes, breakfast items, chilled water and a few cold beer for our arrival, pool floaties, etc) and the unit is very well taken care of and spotless! Located right by a very quiet pool with hot tub. The gated community is very quiet and well taken care of. Literally a 5 minute walk to the La Quinta Resort and a short walk to restaurants in Old Town La Quinta. Kathleen was very responsive to inquiries. Highly recommend, as long as its not on a weekend we plan on coming back!

Best Hospitality

If you need it, this place has it! It was clean, roomy and an overall beautiful casita for our family of 4. We stayed a week from WA state and having a pool just steps away was so convenient and accessible. And talk about the best host! We arrived Easter Sunday to 2 wonderful baskets each with my girls' names. They were full of candy, toys and fun stuff. And not to mention the 2 bottles of wine for mom and dad and fridge stocked with breakfast foods and drinks. This was the best rental by far and a superb location. It was also steps away from main resort entry for fun people watching and snacks/drinks. Thank you so much again Hawkes!

We had an amazing stay with one other couple (4 people total). The location was phenomenal!

The stay at Kathleen's house was nothing short of perfection. We enjoyed every waking moment there, and the house itself was more than enough for two couples (4 people total). Both bedrooms offered in-room bathrooms, and the space was just perfect. The location of the unit was perfect too; only about 30 yards from the neighborhood pool, and only a stones throw away from La Quinta Resort. We had no problem using La Quinta Resort's facilities (pool, and restaurants), which was a huge added bonus. Kathleen thought of everything before we even got there. Getting our driver through the gate, having everything labeled in the house, a full pamphlet on local restaurants, bars, etc. etc. Kathleen had everything covered and made our experience that much better. I couldn't of found a more perfect place, and we hope to have the opportunity to stay there again!!!

A wonderful vacation

Katie was a superb host! She emailed us all the information we needed a few days prior and the house was ready for our arrival. Seriously, 9 days was not long enough. A few steps away from this house: LQ resort shops and restaurants, tennis courts, pool, bike and walking paths, etc. Also included were bikes...we hardly drove anywhere...we just used the bikes! They were in perfect shape and more comfortable than my bike at home. The kitchen had everything we needed! Even though it was perfect BBQ weather, we didn't use the BBQ but it is ready and on the deck! The courtyard is pretty! I hope to rent again from Katie. Thank you Katie and Family.

Beautiful property and great service

I have stayed on-property at La Quinta resort, and overall I think liked this experience better! The house is beautifully decorated and if you need something, it's there. The only thing we missed was a drip coffeemaker, since my parents are BIG coffee drinkers. The Keurig worked great and we adapted quickly :-) Kathy was extremely responsive. When we had an issue with one of the TVs she sent someone to look at it within an hour. I loved the location and the feel of the space - we had most meals outside at home, and when we didn't want to cook we walked steps over to the resort and ate at one of the restaurants. If you are looking for quiet, cozy, quality time together in a gorgeous setting, this is a great choice. I can't wait to go back!

I ran out of stars. Could not have been better

Loved Palm Springs; loved LaQuinta; loved the condo. We spent Christmas at LaQuinta with our two adult kids and dog in this wonderful condo. The condo came stocked with everything you can imagine... ranging from eggs in the fridge; toiletries in the bathrooms; and bikes in the garage. The location is spectacular too, just a couple hundred yards to the center of the resort (with the Christmas tree with a billion lights) and another few hundred to the main golf course. Great for walking the pup. Katie (the owner) was incredibly thoughtful. We arrived to find xmas stocks hung on the mantle with goodies for each of us including the dog! The condo was well-appointed and spotless. We set up the aerobed (provided) in the family room as the third bed so it was a little cozy. We especially loved the patio in back and the small courtyard in front. We had a great time. Can't wait to return! Six stars

About the host

Hosted by Rick and Kathleen (Katie) Hawkes

Host profile image
Hi, we are Rick and Kathleen (Katie) Hawkes. We live and work in San Diego and have been coming to the desert since we were both children. We have been married for 36 years. We have two children, a daughter and a son. I sell Real Estate and my husband is a General Contractor. We built our home in Elfin Forest and live on a 3 acre farm complete with a pig and chickens and a garden that will take your breath away. We absolutely fell in love with La Quinta on our first visit. Owning this condo has been a dream come true. We so want your every need to be fulfilled at our home. Let us know if there is anything missing and I'll bet the next time you stay it will be there! Making our guests happy makes us happy!

Why they chose this property

First of all, Santa Rosa Cove is the only place I know where you can live at a resort. The first weekend we came we never drove anywhere. We walked to the resort for coffee and bagels or breakfast in the morning and enjoyed one of the fabulous restaurants at night. We took walks, rode bikes, hit balls on the resort putting green, played in one of the many pools and enjoyed the live music at the resort in the evening.

What makes this property unique

We looked at many condos before choosing this one. The location and the peace and quiet were what sold us. Literally steps to the main waterfall fountain area allows us to walk out our door and watch a beautiful wedding unfold. We also loved the healthy fruit trees and climbing bougainvillea welcoming you in to the front patio. I love the high ceilings in the living and dining rooms. I added Sola tubes in the kitchen, dining and family room as well as the hallway and master bath. I recently added solar night lights inside the Sola tubes so the house is never dark accept the bedrooms at night when you pull down your blackout shades. The separation of bedrooms is wonderful. One of my favorite things is the door in the kitchen that opens to the front patio. Not many of these condos have this feature. I also like this location because it's just steps to the nearest pool. I wanted to be close to the pool but not hear the noise from the pool area. We chose this condo because it is set back from both neighbors and we view the fabulous mountains and a greenbelt instead of a walkway, which gives lots of privacy. Our views do not include any streets.
