Overall, I will say this was a great house and the value is amazing. The communication with the property manager/owner was great. The AC wasn't working all that well and they were able to get someone out and get it fixed right away. To be clear, everything was great. Here are my only suggestions. There are a lot of TVs in the house and a lot of them are not working. Either replace or remove. Beds are on the older side and need to be replaced and pillows aren't great. Aside for that, just a great location especially if you want to play golf and hang out with friends and family.

We come every year for a youth sports tournament at the Polo Grounds, and the location of this house is perfect! Very walk-able to all of the fields, and the house itself is very well setup for large groups. The property manager is also very communicative, and helps with any questions.

Overall excellent!

The place was great: spacious, great views, fully stocked. The casita was nice to have, and the jacuzzi was great. Manager Justin was pleasant and communicative, and fixed the WiFi for us promptly. Neighbors with beautiful homes. Indio is a little far from the valley’s main spots, but that’s what we signed up for.

Ideal Coachella house

This house was the perfect spot for our group during Coachella! It was 20-30 minute walk or quick drive to the festival entrance. We had plenty of space both inside and outside for our group, and the house was equipped with everything we needed during our stay. Justin was also super great with communication when we had a few questions. Would definitely stay here again!

Bad Boys Getaway

The Bad Boys are a retired bunch that has been playing golf on an annual basis for the last 20 years in the Palm Springs, Indio area. This is the second time we have stayed here. This place is perfect for the 8 of us. This house was the BEST provisioned house we have ever stayed in. The owner was outstanding and went "over and above" in working with us regarding check-in, pool/spa heating, etc. We would stay at Justin's house again anytime. Thanks again, Justin, for all the help and great communication. What a great host!

Stunning Indio Home

We once again were so happy with this home for our long weekend. The home has an amazing set up with a big, well stocked kitchen area that rolls into the family room area. The rooms are great with several having a in suite bathroom. The other bedrooms also have bathrooms very close. Such a huge plus when several people are trying to get ready at one time. The backyard is so spacious with a very large pool and the driveway is long and accomodates many cars. The hosts even left us some waters and cards and ping pong balls. We just couldn't be happier with our stay. Thank you Justin

Desert Vacation and Tennis Tournament

4 couples rented this home to enjoy the desert and the Indian Wells tennis tournament. The house and property were awesome. It had everything we needed and more. Each couple had their own bedroom and bath and we had room for more. The location was ideal. The backyard is absolutely amazing. The pool is beautiful. The fireplace and outdoor kitchen make the property hard to leave. I am still enjoying some of the fresh fruit from the trees. We loved that this property was at the end of a cul-de-sac making it feel like we were isolated and in the country and yet we were close to everything. We even rode our bikes to/from The Garden where the tennis tournament was located. I would love to stay at this property again.

This is THE place for a family vacation

If you are planning on staying with a big group in the Indio / Palm Desert area, it would be difficult to find a place better than this. I scoured VRBO when I was booking for our 12 person vacation (2 grandparents, 3 couples, and 4 kids) and I kept coming back to this listing. The pics do not do it justice (I think one review I read even states this). The home is spacious and cozy at the same time… feels like a home, which makes it perfect for spending a holiday with family. The kitchen has everything you would need to prepare a thanksgiving meal. There are multiple spaces for hanging out. Every bedroom has its own bathroom (though not all are ensuite). The casita is cozy and helped us accommodate the families who wanted to stay up later and watch movies. But the real gem is the outdoor space. The backyard and pool area is expansive and luxurious. If you come here, do not wait until the last night to enjoy some time by the fire. We are on our drive home right now and already plotting when we should return. Oh and Justin, the host, is incredibly responsive and patient… helping to explain ins and outs of heating the spa and other needs that came up. One of the best VRBO stays we’ve ever had!

Birthday week in Indio

We had a wonderful time at this property. Because we are a family that had not seen each other for several years, and were celebrating a milestone birthday of our oldest brother. It was convenient to town, golf and to many points of interest. Beautiful gated community. We were a group of 7 siblings and spouses. (14 of us) The accommodations were adequate with a bedroom and bathroom for each couple. The only problem was the property was tired and in much need of some TLC. Some of the bedding was stained and ripped. Several bathrooms had lights burned out, toilet paper holders falling off the wall, and moldy shower curtains. We had ants on the patio that would bite your feet while sitting outdoors. The patio furniture was dusty, dirty and had cobwebs hanging from them. One of our group had hung her swim suit on a chair outside after washing it out only to find two spiders in it the next day. One being a black widow!! As I said earlier, we had a wonderful time at the property, but felt it has not been maintained as it should be for the amount of money that was charged for a week. I did convey our concerns to the owner with no response from him.

Stagecoach Experience

The home was very nice and we were so happy with it. Most of the rooms had an attached bathroom which is so nice and the other 2 bedrooms had a bathroom very near to it. The yard is very large with a lot of room to hang out. The kitchen was. really well stocked and we really enjoyed the open floor plan to be able to all hang out together when we were at the house. The long drive way and garage access was awesome for our cars. We very much enjoyed our weekend there and definitely hoping to be able to come back!

Great place to stay for a family vacation!

Our family (us, kids, grandkids, 10 in all) stayed at this home for the 3rd or 4th time this year during Spring Break. A perfect place to stay for a family. 7 very spacious bedrooms and 7 full bathrooms. Everyone can have their own space. The living area is very big - the kitchen is huge and well stocked. We had fun playing games, or with the pool table. But, of course, the outside is the best. A very large swimming pool with plenty of room for swimming, playing volleyball, etc. Justin has always been fantastic and responsive for whatever we need, although we've never really had any problems. Would definitely recommend this for a family or group stay.

Indio Gold Trip

Our group of 5 couples had a great time at the property. Our only problem was that when we arrived on Saturday we were told that the main home's propane was critically low and that propane company wouldn't come until Monday so we were asked to not heat the pool or spa and be cognizant so we could make it to Monday. We really wanted to heat the pool/spa because those were the nicest weather days during our trip (it got cold and windy for several days after) but we didn't and we conserved on showers too so we could make it to Monday. The propane company didn't come on Monday so we got even closer to running out. In fairness, the owner was in Hawaii and didn't know they didn't come until I texted them but 3 days of our trip had us conserving hot showers and not utilizing resources. The Seller was able to get a propane company out on Tuesday and we were finally able to heat the spa and all take hot showers, cook, etc. without worry about the propane running out (Woo hoo -- we were thrilled!). It made a big difference knowing we could enjoy the home as intended. The remainder of our trip was very nice with the Sellers even providing a nice bottle of Chianti wine to make up for our discomfort. The home is less luxurious than most homes we have rented over the years for our annual trips and a little more beat up, but the floor plan (# of bedrooms/baths) and back yard set up were really nice. Our annual trip ended with everyone being very happy and no further problems. We do appreciate the owners/managers fast response when the propane company didn't show up and I am sure they will be watching the propane more closely prior to groups arriving in the future. Thank you for a fun trip to Indio/Palm Desert.

About the host

Hosted by Justin Backlund

Host profile image
My parents (pictured) have been in the property management business since 1976. I first started "working" for them when I was 11 years old, way back in '86, collecting and bagging quarters from the laundry machines in one of the apartment buildings they managed. I got to keep $10 worth of quarters for every $250 that I bagged and prepared for a bank deposit.

I have been managing this vacation rental since September of 2014; in addition to handling all reservations and guest concerns, I also oversee the maintenance of the estate and do my best to ensure that each guest has an enjoyable and care-free experience during their stay.
