What a beautiful property to bring family and friends together. The ultimate favorite was of course the large tropical backyard—everything as advertised. Property host and onsite staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Kitchen was equipped, and rooms were clean, private, and comfortable. We definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice blend of entertainment and relaxation. Thanks for having us!

Great Spot

Very nice property. Property Manager and owner were always accessible. Advertises for 16 which is good if there are spouses but better off with 12 if people do not want to share a bed but cots were available. Our guys golf trip loved it! Would recommend again in a heartbeat.

Perfect Stay at The Barcelona

This property was PERFECT for my bachelor party (and definitely would have passed for a multi-family vacation). The house was immaculately clean, well-stocked and the outdoor area was better than advertised. The main hot tub easily fit 14 people and there was plenty of outdoor furniture for us to lounge around on. With the ping pong table, pool table, Mortal Kombat, Volleyball net, Bocce court and grill area - we were certainly never bored. I would 100% recommend staying here for any large group outings!

Women’s getaway

We had a great stay. We enjoyed the pool and spa, and the patio with the lovely view. House is very spacious and beds were very comfortable! There were 11 women and we had plenty of space. Comfortable, relaxed vibe. Friendly owner and manager William. Really appreciate William’s attentiveness and communication. We will stay in the Laguna Seca community again next year!

The house is absolutely beautiful! I did come across issues such as the air not working on a hot summer day, there weren’t a lot of accessories I needed such as scissors, foil, etc (think about it, you pay this much for a house, a lot of things should be available), I did find some roaches in my shower and room. Not all the fans worked in the house. Overall, I enjoyed my time but for how much I paid I expected a little more

Holiday Family get away.

The house was a great size for large families. The yard and pool were in great shape. Some of the house furniture was a little worse for ware. But then with kids that made it easier. It was nice and clean and had good appliances for cooking. The out door entertainment, needs to be replaced most were broken. Putting green was nice. Prattle board table and boards were in bad shape. Over all was a good experience

Oasis in the Scorching Desert Heat

We stayed here for a family-oriented reunion with college friends, multiple families with kids. It was the middle of summer in a heat wave, but we stayed cool inside the house and in the wonderful pool. We rented 2 homes (Madrid and Barcelona), and it was very convenient to walk across the street in the gated community. We also loved the area, with plenty of stores close by and good restaurants. The manager, William, was extremely responsive every step of the way, and provided excellent service to answer all our questions about the properties. When there were minor problems such as not enough towels upon arrival, he jumped on the phone and solved it for us right away. Overall, we found the houses clean and in good working order. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Amazing property w/lots to offer

What a great house and amazing amenities. We had 6 adults stay in the house and it was more than enough space and lots of stuff to do in the house without having to leave. The property manager was always fast to reply to my texts if I had any questions and did a great job. This is definitely a premium property but I gave it a 4 star because at this level and price range the attention to detail needs a little work. There are just little things that didn't seem to work, nothing big but just small details. The outdoor area was great and a fun place to hangout. Having the community gated makes it feel like that much nicer.

Nice place, a few things outdated, an easy fix

The manager was a great communicator. The outside premises are beautiful. Inside the furniture is extremely outdated. Needs a lot of maintainance (faucets spraying all over, plumbing/ flushing very slow). The duvets, blankets and pillows were very old, some stained. One of the refrigerators doesn’t work, we stored meat there realizing the next day the fridge doesn’t keep it cold.

Thanks so much for the 4 stars! We had a large wedding 1 week before your arrival. We just put in 5 new toilets and a new kitchen faucet! No more spraying! We promise! We purchased a new sofa for the living room. We got rid of the small refrigerator that was not working in the bedroom. Luckily You have 3 other refrigerators to use! We just purchased all new duvet covers and pillows! Come back soon so we can earn that 5th star from you. And we agree there is no better outside space in the desert!

GORGEOUS PROPERTY!!! PERFECT FOR ENTERTAINING

The first impression of this property is breathtaking... It has a majestic entrance, a beautiful gate with two spectacular fountains and flowers. The open floorplan is perfect for entertaining. The kitchen has a restaurant quality stove with all the necessary cooking equipment. Our favorite feature of the property is the yard, the heated pool and the jacuzzi... It was the daily spot for family gatherings. Chris, the property manager, was extremely helpful, very friendly and always available for whatever we needed. We truly appreciate everything you did to make our stay even more pleasant!!! I´ve been renting houses through vrbo for many years, this is the best property we´re rented so far. The only issue we had is that in the description of the property it says it has six bedrooms and six bathrooms, but it really has four full bathrooms and two half bathrooms (one of the half bathrooms is outside by the pool area). We were a large group and this was an issue. Other than that, everything was great!!!

Our Barcelona Estate Stay

Party is great for events but maintenance was not keep up, Front Landscape lighting or front entry lighting wasn’t working until we complained. Also pool room TV wouldn’t work, Property Manager purchase new tv’s but they were smaller so you could see the wall brackets and the tv’s weren’t programmed to us. No coffee pot or wine bottle opener until we asked for one. Several toilets had issues flushing. The property is run down but it fit our purpose for wedding rehearsal dinner party. They property manager & Owner need to communicate better to vet they property condition and not have the guest find all the issues or problems.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Aug, 2023
You threw a 100+ wedding at our house and forgot to tell us! You should be banned from VRBO forever! Of course the toilets got clogged up. You had 150 guests using them. (FYI we paid a $1000 for a plumber). We installed 2 new smart TV sets on Thursday the day of your arrival. We use Keurig and delivered a coffee pot to you the day of tour arrival. Outdoor lights are controlled by a Lutron automated lighting system. All lights can be controlled from the wall mount iPad. Or text me and I can turn on/off the lights or jacuzzi. Our Outdoor lights come on at 8pm and turn off at 12pm. Of course, the property was run down after your event. You had 150 people and paid for 12. We touched up with paint after you left. The property manager and homeowner stopped communicating with you once they saw the party tucks dropping of wedding rental tables. You basically only paid for 3-4 rental and got away with a $30,000 wedding. Who is the one that did not communicate?

Big Group? No problem!

This place is massive. Our group consisted of 13 adults and never felt crowded. Inside is a very large common area around the kitchen and just around the corner is another room with a pool table. A full, secondary fridge in the laundry room was perfect for keeping all beverages cold. The highlight of the property is the pool area. The pool is of decent size and the hot tub was significant. The main lounging areas by the bar/grill as well as the ping pong table are all covered which was nice as we had a little rain one evening. We spent a majority of our time outside enjoying views of the mountains. Since we all required individual beds, room assignments got creative but they offer roll-a-way beds at a minimal cost. This property would easily house 3 families with plenty of private space. I would not hesitate to re-book and may just do so if our same group decides to make another trip. There is also a grocery store just a few minutes away with a Costco also nearby. The property is about 25 minutes from Palm Springs proper and less than a hour from Joshua Tree.
