We were charmed by our little oasis in the desert! It was extremely close to the pool, which had a fridge. They thought of everything: towels, pool toys and even a little stepladder for the shorties to reach higher shelves It also was super close to the venue where we were going. I would definitely stay here again.
Great location near plenty of shopping and restaurants. Quiet and comfortable. Hosts made everything easy.

This is a hidden gem. Loved the space, the location, the grounds around the property, the pool area was fantastic and overall we had a really good time! Such a great space for all to enjoy.
A very comfortable and well stocked unit in a great location. The owners were accommodating and readily available when needed. Would definitely stay here again.
This property exceeded our expectations in all ways. The location is excellent, close driving to anything we needed. The home itself was amazing, plenty of room, mid century style, a great feel, and stocked with everything we needed and more. Wholeheartedly recommend this VRBO.
This Sandpiper condo is ideal for a stay in Palm Desert. Centrally located, beautiful grounds. Very comfortable beds and pleasing mid century decor. Owners are great to work with. Thank you!
Thank you Jeff for letting us stay at your wonderful property. We truly enjoy the Sandpiper experience. Your home was a delight to stay in.

I’ve always wanted to stay at the historic Sandpiper and it did not disappoint. The layout, pool, fruit trees, views and proximity to El Paseo are all terrific. This unit is well-stocked with everything you need and the master bed is extremely comfortable. My kids and I really enjoyed our stay and would love to return!

Come on back, we'd love to host you again. Be safe and be well.
Appreciated this location due to its walking proximity to excellent hiking trails, shopping, and the wonderful Civic Center Park and San Pablo shops. Everything we needed was within 4 miles. Fully stocked vacation house that provided a great getaway.
It was such a great place to spend time in the desert for the first time with our daughter. Accessibility to the pool, relation to stores and shops and local attractions was amazing. The little welcome basket was the cherry on top. Would love to come back one day!
Place had everything you could possibly need.
Clean. Organized. Perfect.
Would recommend and we'll be back sooner than later.

We had a lovely week in Jeff’s Sandpiper home. The house is comfortable, (bed and linens great) and the house is nicely decorated. Really enjoyed the heated pool after a day of hiking. There are great hikes close by!
This was our third time staying at this property. The pool and grounds are quiet. We usually had the pool to ourselves. The unit is close to all sorts of restaurants, stores, etc. The owners are very nice and always leave a generous basket of goodies!
Lovely spot near El Paseo with its many shops and restaurants. Roomy two bedroom with newer, well stocked kitchen.
Shady deck for afternoon relaxing and just steps to the pool.
Great quiet facility, spacious condo with everything you need. We were surprised just how close everything was - walking distance to everything.
Jeff was wonderful to book with and answered all of my questions in a very timely manner. I would most definitely stay here again.
Jeff and Donna's Sandpiper condo is the ultimate mid-century vacation spot, and we had the most relaxing and fun stay. The kitchen is beyond well-stocked, the beds are soooo comfy, and the Sandpiper condo experience as a whole was delightful. The owners are communicative and responsive, and we hope to stay here again. We have rented many VRBO rentals, and this is at the top of our list!

Hey our newest New York friends, it was wonderful to host you both, I know you love the mid-century vibe so feel free to come on back anytime. Be well.
**Review for Rental Accommodation**I recently had the pleasure of staying at this rental accommodation, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! The location was simply perfect, situated just minutes away from where we were holding our work events. This made commuting a breeze and allowed us to maximize our time.The property manager was incredibly responsive, addressing any questions or concerns we had promptly, which added to the overall positive experience. Additionally, the place was spotless and well-maintained, offering a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Overall, this rental exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely stay here again!
We enjoyed our stay so much - it surpassed all expectations. The condo is more like a small house, with fun midcentury decor, and very much in keeping with the Palm Springs/Palm Desert vibe. We didn't swim, but the pool was beautiful and right outside the patio door.
The added bonus was the fruit trees on the property. We picked grapefruit and oranges every morning for fresh squeezed juice, which was divine. We will definitely be back!

About the host
Hosted by Jeff and Donna Johnson
As a Canadian who came to the California in 1990 and never left, my wife and I discovered the desert a couple some years back. We would travel here on Fridays, hanging out with people that come from all over the world to escape snowy and cold winters. We love the world class amenities, shopping, the incredible outlets just 30 minutes away, along with several places in town for great coffee and tea. We live and work approximately one hour from the condo and hope to enjoy it with family and friends for years to come when it is not being rented out.
Why they chose this property
We were introduced to Sandpiper living by some friends in the spring of 2014. We were blown away at how special this place really is. Of course having been designed by a world class architect helps, but the natural beauty of the desert and the incredible sunsets are really something to experience. This unit caught our eye because it had been owned by another Canadian living in California and she had it for many years and we knew it had been well taken care of. When it is not being used by our guests, we look forward to using it as an escape and a gateway to all the desert has to offer. It is a place where you can park the car and just walk to anywhere you need to be. Out of milk, just cross the street. Want a Starbucks, well that is about a 4 minute stroll. Do you like the California Pizza Kitchen? It is about a six minute walk. So when you are not here to enjoy, we will.
What makes this property unique
There are many great units in Sandpiper, but you have found one the best. Unlike other condo complexes, Sandpiper has been designed to offer large green spaces. There are hundreds of condos in the desert but this area is truly unique and very well known in the community. We know that you'll love it as much as we do, so don't hesitate to contact us, we'd love to help facilitate your time away from home. And when you stay in our condo, you can do so with confidence knowing we are only an hour away in case of an emergency.
