About this property
Visit Sunny Haven! Private Pool & Spa - Family & Dog Friendly - Mountain Views
Welcome to Sunny Haven!
We have done our best to set this desert pool house up for enjoyment by families, close friends, and their canine companions.
LOCATION
For starters, our home has a great location... in a nice quiet neighborhood with beautiful mountain and sunset views. The home is an easy 20 - 25 minute drive to downtown Palm Springs and 35 minutes to Joshua Tree Visitor Center. Coachella, Morongo, and Agua Caliente are also nearby.
The home is in a nice part of up and coming Desert Hot Springs, a small city just north of Palm Springs. Familiar grocery and fast food restaurants are mere minutes away. There are plenty of family owned restaurants with good food for take out or dine in if you're OK with the typically humble ambiance. If you're looking for a fancy night out with fine dining, DHS is not the city for that. Head to the Palm Springs area. :)
If you plan to just stay put and chill, you'll love your time at Sunny Haven as the home comes with many amenities.
OUTDOOR AMENITIES
Sunny Haven offers a fabulous shaded back patio with plenty of seating and lounge furniture. The pool has built in bar stools and spray fountains. The hot tub has powerful jets. The BBQ has a propane side for those quick grill sessions, plus a charcoal side and side smoker for those chill BBQ days.
The front patio is walled in with a lovely porch swing and bistro set from which you can enjoy a beverage while taking in the scenery of the Coachella Valley.
The landscaping throughout has been thoughtfully designed to show the beauty of the desert, provide bits of shade, attract birds, and generally lend to the feelings of oasis.
PLEASE NOTE: The pool is heated at no additional cost between May 1st and September 30th. For pool heating outside of these dates, please contact us for pricing. The spa heating is always available at no cost.
INDOOR AMENITIES
The kitchen has been updated and provides all the tools you need to share delicious meals with your family and friends. The pantry should have a few common seasonings available to share.
The living space offers a leather sofa, two leather recliners and a rocker for your seating pleasure. For entertainment, the 65" SmartTV provides all the streaming services plus a sound bar to connect your bluetooth device if desired.
The kids room includes two arcade cabinets with a variety of games like Mrs Pac Man, Mortal Kombat, Galaxian, and 1944.
SLEEPING
The home includes three bedrooms. Two bedrooms have premium quality king size memory foam mattresses that cradle and support you while keeping you cool. The third bedroom has two twin size bunk beds... with twin size trundle beds underneath as well. We allow maximum 6 adults, or 8 total guests. Kids only in the top bunks please!
OTHER AMENITIES
You'll note of course that we provide free high speed internet, central A/C and heat, plenty of electrical outlets, washer and dryer, a 2 car garage, and both back and front yards are fully fenced for the safety of your pets.

Great stay! The outdoor pool and hot tub area was tranquil and relaxing. Contact with the host was seamless and he even offered early check-in. The house is in a quiet residential area and close drive to Palm Springs.
It was a nice cozy relaxing place to stay. The hot tub was relaxing especially after a day out and about. Beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking. The host responded quickly when I had a question. Would definitely stay here again!
Nice place. Great pool and hot tub. Host had great communication. The place was just what we needed for our family. . Lots of space indoors. Just do a walk through when you arrive to ensure everything you need is there.
Everything was nice and accommodating. We had such a great time. Hosts provided everything we expected. Will definitely put this spot on our revisit list
We loved the house! Safe quiet neighborhood. The hot tub and pool were awesome! Great grill and outdoor seating area. All and all we give it a 10! Gabe could not have been better to deal with! Could not recommend this property more.
Wonderfully relaxing. My only complaint is that the front yard was not gated as advertised. Everything was just the way I would have set it up for myself. It was very well planned and convenient.

Thank you Rochelle! Really glad you enjoyed. And yes, the front gate hinges need a repair and we'll get our handyman on that soon.
the pool and spa were great, but it took a couple of days for the pool to get warmed up all the way

Thanks for the 5 star review! Sorry to hear that about the pool. Not sure if this was the case, but for any guest who uses the spa, please remember to press the "SPA" button again when done to switch the heater back into pool mode. Otherwise only the spa gets heat!
The home was exactly depicted by the photos on the listing. The beautiful home had everything for a comfortable stay without needing to run out to buy forgotten items.
We had a lovely stay at Sunny Haven. The location was easy to get to from the Palm Springs Airport, and it was a comfortable & relaxing retreat after a long day of hiking at Joshua Tree National Park. It was especially nice to be able to relax in the hot tub after all of that hiking. The arcade games in the "kids room" was a fun surprise! Thank you for providing a comfortable, peaceful oasis for travelers to enjoy.PS There were at least two species of hummingbirds in the backyard that we thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to as they happily sipped from the flower blossoms.
We had enough space for our multigenerational group, plus dog. The backyard was quiet and peaceful. We were able to cook lovely meals in the kitchen. Bonus stars for the games arcade. We are definitely considering a return visit in future!

The house, amenities, and host communications were 5 stars. Our family and pet were comfortable and were guided through the house amenities by an accurate guest book and clarifying emails. We look forward to a future visit.

Thank you Robert! So glad you enjoyed and we were happy to assist in your holiday.
Traveled for my birthday…. Very welcoming, comfortable and cozy! Very clean clean home inside and out! Kitchen had everything I needed for preparing meals. We enjoyed the pool during the day and Palm Springs is close enough for nightlife. Would most definitely return.

Thank you Suziemarie! So glad you enjoyed all the home and area have to offer.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay here! The beds were comfy, the house was so clean, my kids loved the pool! We were also allowed to check in a little early and given the option to check out a few hours later if we wanted to. Overall, my family enjoyed staying here and we will definitely be back again!
Great stay for my family. The pool was clean and well maintained. The rooms were clean and the beds where very comfortable. I thinking of buying the same matress for my home. It is our second time staying and we loved the restful stay with my family.
Had a great weekend with friends. House was clean, well stocked and the hosts were friendly and responsive. The house was in a great location, nice neighborhood. Highly recommend!
We thought the place was very accurate in the description and enjoyed the place. The location requires driving to any place you need to go, but we knew that when we booked. Loved the pool and the hot tub.

Thanks Deborah! Glad you enjoyed. And yes, FYI for all visitors... Downtown Palm Springs is about 20 - 25 minutes straight south on Indian Canyon Rd. Joshua Tree is about 45 minutes north. Empire Polo Grounds in Indio is about 35 - 40 minutes east.
The house was out standing with plenty to do. The pool was amazing along with the rest of the house. The place exceptionally clean and well organized.Looking forward to staying there again

About the host
Hosted by Gabriel Richards
Racquel, Rameses, Cleopatra and I (Gabriel), are born, raised, and settled in the Los Angeles area. We took a risk a few years back purchasing a property in Big Bear to use as both a vacation home and a vacation rental. Fortunately it has worked out great and we've discovered just how much we love helping other families enjoy vacations and create memories in the comfort of a private home.
So this is our second attempt, a desert pool house. COVID taught us that families need great nearby and private vacation opportunities more than ever, and so set out to find, purchase, and set up a desert oasis to share with our community. We hope you like what we've done, and we now humbly offer Sunny Haven for you, your family, and your friends to enjoy!
Why they chose this property
Desert Hot Springs real estate (or DHS as the locals call it)... has a great combination of value and location. Close enough to Palm Springs or the casinos for a fancy night out... yet far enough to feel quiet and small town. DHS is a great home base for anything you might want to do in the Coachella Valley or Joshua Tree.
Sunny Haven called out to us specifically because it checked so many boxes. The perfect size for a family vacation bringing along the grandparents or our best friends. The pool was done, plus other great outdoor features like the shaded patio.
The work we put in includes all new flooring, and kitchen updates, including a beautiful bar top counter that doubles as the indoor dinner table. We furnished the property and continually work on little refinements to make it more comfortable and convenient for our guests.
What makes this property unique
Here are the best ways to enjoy Sunny Haven, IMHO!
1) A cup of coffee with your sweetheart in the morning on the front swing.
2) A chill day of BBQ, pool, and your beverage of choice in the back patio.
3) Falling asleep on the recliner in front of the TV or with some music playing.
4) Preparing a meal for your family / friends to enjoy either indoors or outside.
5) Swimming, sunbathing, and just generally lounging around to enjoy the desert heat
6) Trying to beat Gabriel's high score on Mrs. Pac Man!
7) Challenging someone to a game of Mortal Kombat!
8) A nice 10 - 12 hours of sleep on the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress!
9) Enjoying a nice beverage at the bar counter while you watch your friends / family / sweetheart prepare dinner. :)
10) Walking around and observing all the various plant life and artworks around the propery.
