This was our second stay at Kirsten and Michael's house, and we're already planning our third. It's in a great, very quiet neighborhood in La Quinta Cove, with a lovely walking/biking route, those glorious mountains, and Indian Wells Tennis Garden not far away. I really like that it's a regular neighborhood, not a gated community. Beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped, and the pool and spa are well maintained. It can handle 6 people just fine, but the seating in the eating area and living room is really ideal for 4. But we had 6 for part of our last stay, and it worked well. A short drive away is "old" La Quinta (it's not really old, but it's charming), which has some perfectly fine restaurants, shops, and cafes.
