About this property

One of a kind secluded and stylish MCM desert bungalow on three lots, high up in the La Quinta Cove.

Casa Palma is an authentic MCM bungalow on three secluded lots with numerous shaded seating areas and lovely mountain views. A delight for bird watchers! Renovated to retain its original vintage charm while providing all the modern comforts of a cook’s kitchen, open plan living room, bathroom with large shower, A/C, luxury bedding, and high-speed internet.

Read the reviews and you'll see why Casa Palma is one of the most serene and special properties in the La Quinta Cove!

Permit: 259000


While we won't be at the property when you are, we have a property manager who can be there if you need them, and we're also a phone call away to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible.

Casa Palma is located high up in the La Quinta Cove very close to popular hiking trails like Bear Creek and Palm Oasis. The Cove is entirely residential and benefits from less traffic and city noise than other areas in the desert, and Casa Palma is only a three minute drive away from Old Town La Quinta with its coffee shops, restaurants, markets, antique stores and galleries.

Guests will have exclusive access to the entire property during their stay.

Casa Palma is fully furnished with two bedrooms. one bath, and an open plan living room that connects to a well stocked cook's kitchen that provides everything you need to prepare your own meals including: all the big and small appliances, good knives, teas and spices, and various ways to make your coffee.

Gorgeous views of the property can be seen from every window in the house, and the outdoor garden has various seating areas from which to enjoy a sunny morning or magical sunset hour when the nearby hills turn coral pink.

While you can easily walk to the hiking trails nearby, and can also walk or bike to the Old Town of La Quinta, you will need a car to go any place of distance. There is a carport at Casa Palma and plenty of street parking.

We're trying something different here: In order to create a relaxing environment where guests can truly unwind, we don't have a TV that is always out, but store one in the closet that's easy to move. There is high speed internet if you want to watch movies or shows on our Smart TV -- or on your own laptops, phones or tablets. We also provide a wide selection of curated books and board games for you to enjoy. We hope you will take advantage of "getting away from it all" while staying at Casa Palma.

Desert Bungalow

Thoroughly enjoyed the property and location. A very well equipped household and kitchen. Love the mountain views and the privacy of the outdoor space. Communication with the host was outstanding as we dealt with temporary payment issues at my end. Gotta love La Quinta.

Hosts are as beautiful as the property

I didn't get to stay at the property due to the Palisades Fire (needed to stay back and deal with losing my own home) but my friend (who I was planning to go with and enjoy this blissful escape) did go and loved everything about it. So peaceful, so convenient, so perfectly curated. It was the perfect little spot to rest and restore in between the event we were there for (LaCrosse tourney). Equally important was the graciousness and kindness of the host who spoke and cried with me as I explained why (the one who booked the place) would not be going after all. It was one of the most beautiful conversations I've had with a "stranger" now friend ever...it's what makes home-sharing experiences so incredibly special. Thank you!

Neighborhood Oasis Royale

Lovely property, well appointed, close to a huge selection of great food in Old Towne, and a great take-off point for popular excursions. This property has an endless, secluded, diverse desert botanical yard to relax, enjoy the breeze, birds and surrounding vista's from the many large windows and numerous outdoor seating areas outside. Love the kitschy MCM decor/vibe. Comfortable bed and furniture. We enjoyed walking the neighborhood to see the variety of architecture and landscaping. A serene getaway not to be missed.

Enjoyable return visit to this wonderful spot.

Our stay at Casa Palma in the beautiful La Quinta Cove area was as wonderful this time as on our first visit four years ago. We love the large, private yard and comfortable home. There is access to trails and all the amenities nearby. Hosts Tamar & Drew are terrific.. providing all the information you need promptly and checking in to be sure all is as it should be.

Good Getaway in La Quinta

I like this property a lot. I have stayed here twice now and would recommend it. This last time I used it as a launching point to visit the southern end of Joshua Tree Park. It was also reasonably convenient for getting to the Palm Springs area. It is located in a residential neighborhood and close to main access roads and lots of amenities. The lot is a bit larger than expected, with mature trees and bushes as well as being fenced in all around. As a result, the property feels more secluded/private than might be expected for this neighborhood. I like the kitchen a lot and find it easy to use plus I enjoy the retro vibe. The lighting is good for reading in the main area as well as in the bedrooms. It's a bright and sunny environment with the drapes and blinds open as well. There is also a lot of room in the yard with several seating areas to choose from so if it isn't too hot you aren't limited to being indoors. Overall, my stay worked out very well. As mentioned, the property itself is quite nice. I also feel that having a positive experience with the owners is important to a good vacation. I had success working with the owner (Tamara) to resolve a small problem upon arrival. She was professional and got in touch with me right away to fix things. Very helpful. Overall, I would recommend this property.

Good Accomodations, Nice Trip

This is a very nice rental, well appointed and clean. Comfortable with an easy to use kitchen. Good location in a regular style neighborhood in La Quinta. My husband and I certainly recommend this property and think it would be suitable for two couples or a couple with children.

About the host

Hosted by Drew & Tamar

Host profile image
We are a happy, creative couple delighted to share our beautiful homes with guests around the world. We provide what we always search for ourselves -- dwellings that are in an excellent location with comfortable, charming interiors, and fully stocked kitchens and amenities. Casa Palma is our home, not just a vacation rental, and we've furnished it to reflect the warmth and charm we want to enjoy when we are there ourselves. Beauty is healing, and it is in that spirit that we are opening our home to you, knowing that it will greatly enhance your visit!

Why they chose this property

Casa Palma is a rare jewel in the La Quinta Cove. One of the few properties situated on three lots, we were instantly enchanted by the property's huge desert garden and the mid-century period home. We fully relax whenever we are there and love nothing more than sitting outside at sunset, enjoying our evening drinks as we listen to the birds, and watch the mountains turn pink in the fading light.

What makes this property unique

Casa Palma has been decorated to reflect the mid-century modern aesthetic of old Palm Springs in the 1950s & 1960s. With great attention to detail and gorgeous views out every window, Casa Palma is truly a vacationer's delight! Here are some quotes from past guests:

"True serenity in a quiet and peaceful property. Drew and Tamar's home is our absolute favorite home in LaQuinta." Julia

"There aren't enough words to describe how incredible our stay was at Drew and Tamar's place! Casa Palma is truly it's own little paradise within a paradise." Danielle
