Great house, super comfortable beds, pool and spa on point. Kitchen had everything we needed to make Thanksgiving dinner and was really nice to cook in. Modern and clean. Hiking trail literally steps away from the house. Would absolutely stay here again.
Enjoyed our stay in a very comfortable home near everything…trails, food, etc. Host was great and responsive. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Great place
Wonderful setting: safe, quiet neighborhood and just across the street is great hiking in La Quinta Cove. An easy drive to great restaurants and La Quinta Village. We'd stay again
We had two couples for the weekend and had a great time golfing and enjoying the spa and pool. Kitchen was great and everything was available that we needed.
Great property, exactly as advertised. Clean, well appointed, great location near hiking, restaurants and downtown LaQuinta. Host was very responsive and it was an easy check in / check out. Highly recommend this property and host.
Great location at the too of the Cove. Very accessible to golf course, restaurants and trail network. Our host was very reponsive and tge house worked out great.
This house was really lovely. I love where it's located near the hiking trails in La Quinta. The pool and spa were perfect for our family. Instructions were very easy and the owner was available for any questions. Loved it!
My friends and I had a terrific and memorable stay here. The rooms and bathrooms were a great size and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed using the pool in the day time, and how convenient the location was to the polo fields for stagecoach. All around we had a great stay and would love to stay here again in the future.

It was a pleasure to have you… Your welcome any time.
Our family had such a wonderful time at this home. The hosts have thought of every item you could possibly need, the communication via VRBO app, emails, and on-site booklet were thorough and informative. The home is spacious, well decorated, clean and comfortable. This home is in great proximity to enjoyable hiking trails and we really loved getting back from our hikes to enjoy the pool and spa. We loved this peaceful retreat.

Thank you Stephanie… We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay and took advantage of the hiking trails… Come back for a visit any time.
The house is very nice and located perfectly near the Cove Oasis and Old Town La Quinta. A couple small issues with the lack of an operable coffee maker and the main TV needs to be replaced, but these are pretty small items compared to how wonderful our stay was. We left a new French Press for the next occupants.
This is a very nice property and Dave was great to work with. I had to postpone our trip due to illness and Dave was fine with moving it forward with no penalty. Really nice swimming in the evening and walking the nearby trails.
Everything was really great. We were in town for Power Trip. Location was perfect for us - really nice to be going to the opposite direction compared to most of the other attendees. Pool was perfect for a vacation home. We also asked if we could check in a little early because our flights landed a little after 12pm, and we were granted access.
Highly recommend!
Fantastic property perfect for hiking, biking, enjoying the outdoors and just basking in the sun. Quiet neighborhood. We’ve stayed in many VRBOs and this was a real winner. It’s rare to see a kitchen with functional knives and nice dishes. Exceeded expectations.

Thank you so much for the great review. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay in La Quinta.
Our small family had a great time at La Quinta Cove. Dave was very responsive to all my questions and the property was exactly as described and pictured. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need for cooking. The beds were extremely comfortable and the common room is huge and spacious. The pool is small but perfect for a quick dip or to lounge on a float - our 9 year old was not disappointed.
We definitely would stay at this property again.
Great location with good hikes and bike rides right out the door. We stayed here one other time and would fully recommend it. The house is spacious and the neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. We loved that the kitchen has all the utensils and pots and pans for cooking. We contacted the owner once because I didn’t understand how to turn something on and he was immediate to respond. We hope to be back.

Great stay!
Property was better than advertised. Check in and out was very easy. Owner was very helpful. Location at hiking trailheads and proximity to variety of restaurants was very convenient. Rare find with two king bedrooms and one queen. Fully equipped kitchen with utensils and outdoor grill for cooking at house. Good WiFi and plenty of tv channels. Central location for hiking Joshua Tree, Idyllwild and local trails and visiting living desert zoo/ PS aerial tram. Would definitely come back again and recommend to others.

Thanks for the kind words Paul. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
This house had everything we expected, it was cute, super clean, all the kitchen gadgets you could think of and more, close to the trails and shopping areas. The wifi was a little wonky but the house guide included tips on how to fix it. The pool and hot tub were a great add on especially in the desert. Only complaint is the neighbor who was very loud and likes to hackle people, but we learned to ignore her. Overall loved the house, the location, and the owners were awesome!

Thanks for the great review... Sorry about the neighbor. I know they use it as a vacation rental also.
My stay here was above and beyond. The location in the “cove” is spectacular. There are trails to walk, run, hike steps outside the property. The backdrop is amazing. The house is big with a big fully stocked kitchen for cooking elaborate meals. The rooms were spacious and beds comfortable. During my stay the pool and hot tub broke. David (our host) had it fixed in a matter of hours. He was a fantastic and communicative host our entire stay. Would recommend 10/10 and will be staying here again.
Dave was an amazing host! He was responsive and answered all questions timely. I appreciated his willingness and kindness to help. My friends and I had difficulty opening the pool umbrella and Dave called right away to assist in the setup and sent detailed pictures to further aid in the setup. He is a great host! His place is very relaxing and beautiful and I highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful getaway! Plan to come back soon!

Your welcome any time. Hope to have you again soon.
We were looking for a sunny escape from the gloomy coastal marine layer and found it! This is a great house in La Quinta Cove near hiking trails with views of the mountains. The house was well appointed and very clean. We spent most our days by the pool. It’s not big but it was perfect for 1-2 people to float in and didn’t need heating this time of year. The owner was super responsive. I highly recommend!
Nicely appointed and furnished. Quiet neighborhood.
