The casita is a free-standing house in compact community in southeastern La Quinta. The tall ceilings and open style give a feeling of elegance. The two heated pools, hot tubs, tennis court, and grounds are very well maintained with beautiful flowering shrubs and tall palm trees. Everything inside the unit was exactly as portrayed on this website. When we arrived, there were one or two items that were needed, and Elizabeth ordered them on Amazon, so that they shortly appeared on our doorstep.A charming couple oversees the Puerta Azul facilities, and they were always available for questions or recommendations. On two occasions we had overnight guests, which was not a problem at all with the second bedroom.
Of course the weather was fantastic,even more so than we expected, and the restaurants at the La Quinta village were a treat. Polo matches are just up the road, and there a number of desert hikes available within a short drive. Palm Springs proper is really quite a distance, and we seldom went, not feeling the need given what was available nearer to home Our month went by quickly, and we hope the opportunity to visit Coachella Valley in the winter arises again soon.
