This is a wonderful home. We have rented in the Coachella Valley for many winters, and by far this is our favorite rental. The house is extremely clean and impeccably maintained. It is not cluttered like many of our past rentals – it has all the essentials and every convenience you could ask for without all the extraneous décor that we usually find ourselves moving to the guest room to get it out of our way and then moving it back before we leave. The kitchen is modern and highly functional, with stainless appliances and a very handy Keurig. All the kitchen accessories you need are provided, as well as all the grilling tools for the gas Weber on the patio.
The dining table is huge and has a lot of open space around it. The great room has a wonderful leather reclining sectional facing a large flat screen TV that is internet-enabled with all the popular apps and has a top-end Sonos sound bar system (which also has speakers in other rooms as well). The views from the great room and the patio are wonderful, overlooking the 3rd hole of the La Quinta Resort Dunes Course (perfectly positioned to watch the approach shots to the green) with close mountain views to the North and West and distant views of the Indio Hills to the Northeast. The retractable awning covers the entire patio and came in very handy for shielding the afternoon sun.
The master bedroom is large and the king bed very comfortable, and there is a wall-mounted flat screen TV with Roku for all your popular apps. The master bath is very large with dual sinks, and the walk-in closet is huge.
The attached casita was very nice for our guests, giving them (and us) a measure of privacy when needed. The full-time neighbors on each side are wonderful, and the location is quiet and far away from any bothersome road noise.
The landlords, John and Marni, couldn’t be any nicer or more responsive to our needs. John met us upon check-in with a welcome gift and walked us through the house and explained all the features and technology to us, and he provided a binder with all the instructions we might need. We had a couple of very minor issues arise during our lengthy stay, and John resolved them immediately. He is always reachable by cell phone, text message or e-mail, and responds to any issue within minutes. You couldn’t ask for better landlords.
We will be returning to this home next winter, and probably for as many winters as John and Marni will have us!
