About this property

Quaint Home In Town With Rural Feel!

Welcome to Desert Blue

This home is for 4 guests or less. It is not able to accommodate large trailers as it is on a narrow access road and a dead end. It would be difficult to turn around.

Our remodeled home is in the heart of Moab but feels a world away. The house is situated down a dirt lane which turns into a private road with very little traffic. It is quiet and peaceful with a truly rural feel. Our location is ideal! It is easy walking distance to main street; the recreation center with pool and fitness center; paved bike path and many other conveniences of town.

This older home has been remodeled. We have custom cabinets, granite counter tops, beautiful hard wood floor through out and new kitchen appliances. We have three bedrooms and two bathrooms, each with walk in showers. The large bedroom has a king size memory foam bed. The second bedroom has a queen bed with its own full bathroom. The third bedroom has two twin beds and is very small. The furnishings are uniquely rustic and eclectic with a luxurious at home feel.

Enjoy sitting or eating on the back patio in the large newly landscaped yard. We have a BBQ grill on the patio and also other seating areas around the property for you to relax and enjoy the surrounding red rock views. This lot is very private!

Going to town? No need to deal with parking when visiting main street. We have plenty of parking.

This is a great place to unwind after all your Moab adventures. .... come, put up your feet and enjoy!

The home is just as pictured on the website. It’s well stocked with everything needed and more over it is very clean which is extremely important to us! It is super convenient to walk to restaurants and the downtown area!Andrea is a great host, she even offered to mail back my friend’s baseball hat left behind! Now that’s a Super Host!

our host Andrea was very responsive. If I would send her a message she would text me and email me right away. The fridge was stocked with perfect basic condiment. We had everything we needed in terms of plenty of towels, laundry soap, shampoo all the essentials were there. Everything we needed for the kitchen we liked the location. It was very central. We could walk to all the restaurants nearby yet it was tucked away in a very private quiet location. We found the three bedroom two bath to just be ideal for three friends getting together for a reunion. It was super close to the national park. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Mother daughter trip

We were so happy with our stay. We felt safe and the place was spotless. The only problem we had was a huge party next door that lasted until 11-12pm. We think it was the Moab theater and the dubstep like bass was off the charts and shook the windows. Many of the people at the party/show wandered into our driveway and got close to our vehicle. Other than that happening one night, everything was perfect and we had the best time

Perfect location and fantastic host

Absolutely the best 3 bedroom house to stay at in Moab. Walking distance to everywhere downtown and quiet neighbors when you just want to chill inside or outside the house. This newly remodeled house is in fantastic condition and has everything you'll need, and the host quickly replies to any question that you may have. Book it now before someone else reads this review and grabs this ideal rental house before you can.

A great place to stay!

Close to all the parks to explore around Moab and walkable to restaurants in Moab. Quiet neighbourhood. Very clean, and the owner was quick to respond and to solve any issue. Comfortable beds. Great to have a possibility to park the care in the shade in those very hot summerdays. Very recommendable

Best VRBO we’ve ever stayed at…

We travel quite a bit and have had many VRBO experiences. This was by far the best. From the pristine cleanliness, to the spaciousness of the house, the convenient location to town, the cozy outdoor space, the comfortable beds, the attention to detail in this house was incredible. We had everything we needed here during our stay. For the price, it really can’t be beat. Highly recommend staying here for your Moab vacation.

Quiet & Central Location

As commented by other travelers, the home is near the main Moab activity for shopping and dinning yet with a sense of seclusion and the house has everything you need. You'll feel you are in the countryside, not in a tourist town. Every comfortable accommodations for two couples. If you are considering several options to stay in Moab, consider no more. Choose this home and you will be glad you did!

Desert Blue far exceeded our expectations! Everything was provided to make our stay very enjoyable! The house is conveniently located to shops, restaurants and the national parks. If you stay at Desert Blue, do your shopping AFTER checking in. You’ll be amazed at what you’ll find- from body wash to coffee/coffee filters to laundry detergent. Andrea, our host, was very responsive and we were made to feel welcome.

great, comfortable home

Location was great. Beds comfortable. Living space was roomy. Outdoor areas were amazing! Enjoyed our meals on the patio. Glad to have games available. Contact with Andrea was easy; she responded immediately. Just one suggestion, change out light bulbs for new brighter energy efficient bulbs. Lighting was pretty dim.

A desert treasure

What a wonderful property! Located on a quiet side street in downtown Moab but within walking distance of the town’s wonderful shops and restaurants. A sweet little town! The property is meticulously maintained and was absolutely spotless. It might be the cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed at. The kitchen was stocked and easy to cook in, the bed was very comfortable as well as the living room area and the bathroom was nicely updated as was the entire house. A true gem! Andrea was very responsive and was a wonderful host. If you are considering this place just book it! You won’t be disappointed!

We live in Utah and first arrived in Moab 30 years ago. It has been a very special place for us ever since. We are often working, climbing, hiking and exploring here. We purchased this property in June 2014 and have spent the summer working on it. We hope you can enjoy the area as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We loved the quiet lot next to town,
lots of wild life because we are close to the creek,
walking to the town for coffee and gelato,
close to national parks
close to restaurants,
close to the river,
close to climbing ,
close to bike trails ,
lots of exploring!
