Great desert escape

We had a great stay in Joshua Tree. The property itself is very welcoming and tranquil. It was a perfect escape from LA for a few days. Everything was clean and exactly as pictured. We walked to a trailhead for a nice hike in Black Rock canyon but spent most of our time by the pool relaxing.

This home is so beautiful. The hosts communicated well with us and were very nice and helpful. Everything we could want was thought of. There were signs and directions throughout the house explaining how to work things. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub and pool. The beds were very comfy.

One of the Best Stays We've Ever Had!

We booked this home for our step son’s birthday, and it truly exceeded all expectations. By far one of the best VRBO experiences we’ve ever had. The house was immaculate—super clean and thoughtfully designed for comfort and fun. Perfect for our family getaway!The location is amazing—tucked away at the end of a quiet court, it felt so private and peaceful. The amenities were incredible: a beautiful pool and hot tub, cozy fire pit in the backyard that was perfect for our s’mores night, corn hole, foosball, and more. The big, comfy couch in the living room was perfect for relaxing, and every bed was extremely comfortable as well. We also really appreciated the little sitting areas in each bedroom—such a nice touch.Skip and Monica were the perfect hosts—responsive, friendly, and genuinely accommodating. Thank you both for your wonderful hospitality. We’ll absolutely be back!

20 stars

After minutes on the property, you will want to give Skip and Monica 20 stars. Their communication is far superior to anything I’ve experienced with VRBO. The home looks just like the pictures. There are notes for any questions you may have while in home plus they even checked in on us. If you are planning a trip to Yucca Valley this is the place. Thank you Skip and Monica.

Top desert oasis

Thank you so much for such a truly beautiful home. It is by far one of the best organized and well-maintained rentals that we have ever used. Communication, rental information and location were perfect. The outdoor living is superb. Pool, hot tub and fire pit were terrific! All indoor appliances and electronics were easily operated and in great condition. Our family truly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Vacation Getaway

So many great memories made during our stay. The house has everything you need plus some. One of the best rentals we have ever stayed at. The rental was extremely clean and we were all comfortable during our stay. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and the kids enjoyed the pool daily. We loved watching the sunrise from the jacuzzi and the sunsets were unbelievable. The Two living rooms were great allowing kids and the adults to have their own space. Kitchen stocked with everything you need tons of spices, nice quality pans and knives ready for the chef. Access to Joshua Tree trails pretty much from the backyard. A short walk up to the campground where you can jump on multiple trails. Warren Peak Trailhead is right there and had absolutely amazing views at the peak. Nice selection of local restaurants and stores as well as national chains right there. Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay close to it all.

Spa area is perfect to cool down the heat or relax under the stars. Absolutely quiet location with opportunities to see quails, roadrunners, lizards directly on the property.

Quiet desert refuge

We were looking for a place to spend some time away from everything but desert, sun and sky, and this was perfect. The house was way too big for the two of us, but we felt entirely comfortable and the house would be wonderful for up to 8 folks -- four bedrooms, three bathrooms and lots of wonderful living spaces, indoors and out. Pretty much anything you might need/want is there, in a wonderful setting, with the pool/hot tub perfect for day or night. Be sure to have the pool heated if you're there in cooler weather -- this is really necessary even if you're only using the hot tub, as the water circulates between the pool and tub [and extra charge, but necessary]. For hiking, the house is right below a park with trails, but of course no one should miss visiting Joshua Tree National Park, which is very close.

About the host

Hosted by Skip Wells

Welcome to our VRBO profile! We are Skip and Monica, proud VRBO Premier Hosts. I am a retired Vice President of Commercial Lending with a passion for managing our 4 vacation rentals and long-term rentals in California and Texas. Monica, a former Dental Hygienist, enjoys shopping, decorating, and overseeing our cleaning crew as our Hospitality Manager. We are grateful to own such wonderful homes and cherish the opportunity to share them with our guests. Our passion for vacation homes shines through in the details and the friendly, positive interactions we have with our guests. We want every guest to have a memorable and stress-free vacation. That's why we employ professional cleaners to ensure that our homes are always in top-notch condition. On our free time, we love exploring the outdoors near our house in Huntington Beach by swimming, hiking, biking, and inline skating. We also enjoy discovering great restaurants, art exhibits, music venues, and other experiences that we can recommend to our guests and friends!

Why they chose this property

We are thrilled to share that we acquired this property in November 2020 and have spent a year meticulously renovating and preparing the house to make it the perfect desert oasis. We fell in love with the location and the stunning views that can be seen from every window, and we've worked hard to create a luxurious indoor space that blends seamlessly with the natural beauty of the surrounding desert.

This property is especially meaningful to us because it was our largest project yet, and we're proud to say it's now the fourth vacation rental in our portfolio. We believe our guests will appreciate the care and attention we've put into every detail, from the high-quality furnishings to the thoughtful amenities we've included to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We can't wait to share this special place with you and hope you'll choose to make it your home away from home during your time in the desert.

What makes this property unique

We love the location at the top of Sky-Harbor right next to the boundary of Joshua Tree National Park at Black Rock Canyon Campground and Horse Camp. Getting around Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree is a breeze, with Highway 62 running through the entire city. Along the way, you'll find Morongo Valley gas stations, Cactus Mart, and a variety of unique vintage stores with cafes sprinkled in. Be sure to stop by the Frontier Cafe on Pioneer Road and Hwy 62 before checking out the art display at the ACME gift shop out back, and don't miss the inviting Hoof and Post and other nearby shops.

There are also several grocery stores along Hwy 62, including Stater Brothers, Vons, and Grocery Outlet, as well as a row of fast food options that includes Arby’s, McDonald's, Del Taco, Sonics, and Starbucks. Towards Yucca Valley's end, you'll find the Super Walmart and Home Depot, along with more chain eateries like Steak and Shake, Panda Express, and Taco Bell.

Joshua Tree City is home to stunning scenic views and unique stores, including the must-visit Rock Shop and Joshua Tree Coffee. If you're up for an adventure, head down Park Ave. to discover Coyote Corner, JT Saloon (which can have a long wait but is worth it), JT Visitor Center, and the Crochet Museum. Park Ave. is also the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, where you can explore the breathtaking landscapes and take on a variety of hikes. Note that there is a fee of around $30.00 to enter the park, but it's well worth it. Our favorite hike is Parker Dam, and we highly recommend checking out the photo-worthy Skull Rock while you're there.
