About this property

Modern Desert Retreat: Luxurious Comfort & Endless Activities

Blissful sun-drenched days and starlit nights await you at this modern Palm Desert retreat in Desert Falls. Couples can steal sun-kissed moments & romantic evenings, families can splash in the pools, friends can take on Palm Springs area adventures. Breathe in the desert air, savor breakfast on your private balcony, challenge your crew to tennis or pickleball. Stylish living, a sparkling new kitchen & 2 spacious bedrooms pamper you after desert escapades. Indulge in your own Idyll in the Desert!

Home Away from Home (with Chic Upgrades):
• We poured our love (and new furniture!) into this spacious 1300 sq ft haven. Think fluffy towels, high thread-count dreams, and a kitchen with new appliances and the gear you need to whip up gourmet feasts.
• Master suite? More like master retreat! Sink into a California king-sized bed and pamper yourself in the huge en-suite bath with a walk-in shower. Second bedroom boasts a dreamy queen-sized bed with its own full bath nearby.
• Smart TVs in every room? You bet! Cable package loaded, movie nights on the couch await after sunset adventures. Just choose your poison: late-night rom-com or action flick by the fireplace (yes, there's one of those too!).
• Child-friendly? Heck yeah! We've got dinnerware they won't smash, a Pack’n Play for naptime, and pool floats for epic splashes. Just don't forget the sunscreen!
• Workaholics welcome! Blast through emails with blazing-fast Wi-Fi and set up camp in the dedicated workspace. But remember, desert sunsets are calling...

Chill Mode Activated:
• Dive into a pool paradise –pick your poison from 25 sparkling pool oases, just steps from your door. Relax with a hot tub soak as desert breezes chase your cares away.
• Backyard BBQs under the stars? Sunset views from your private patio? Yes, please! Fire up the grill and watch the mountains blush orange while you sift through constellations over margaritas.

Adventure Awaits:
• Ready for golf? Play Desert Falls Country Club’s championship course (green fees apply) or one of dozens of others nearby.
• Pickleball champions in the making? Master the game on the resort's courts. Laughter and friendly competition guaranteed! (Winner buys cocktails, obviously.)
• Tennis anyone? Ace your way to desert glory on the resort courts. Or pump iron in the well-equipped gym.
• Natural high! Hike through the palms in the nearby canyons or make the short drive to Joshua Tree National Park.

Urban and Urbane Adventures:
• Swanky Palm Springs! – think vibrant shops, cool cafes and nightlife – it's just minutes away for when you need a city fix
• Shopping bug? You’re a short drive from Palm Desert’s world famous El Paseo district's high fashion, art galleries and fine dining.
• Coachella and Stagecoach calling? This is your stylish home base for the ultimate festival weekend. Or catch a concert at the new Acrisure Arena or the nearby casinos.

Know before you go:
• The pools are open until 10 PM each night. They are heated to around 82 degrees October/November-April, but specific timing each year can vary based on seasonal temperatures.
• Our home has a private garage, so you can protect your car and belongings from the desert sun. If your vehicle is too large to fit, you can park in our driveway. Just note that oversize and/or commercial vehicles (anything with a logo) are not permitted unless they can fit in the garage. Please see our house rules below for additional information.
• We all love a good time, but the overall vibe is quiet and peaceful, so if you are looking for a party house this is not it. Parties are strictly prohibited and excessive noise is not permitted.
• The citrus trees in the common grounds tend to be in full bloom during the months of December-April with lemons, grapefruits, oranges, and more.
• The grass around the condos and the golf course dies off in September and re-seeding takes place every October. During this month, the golf course is closed. (NOTE: All communities within the desert go through this in September/October of every year)

House rules:
For guests reserving longer stays (>28 days), a signed lease agreement will be required.

There is a strict 4 person occupancy maximum both inside and outside the unit, including the pool and other shared spaces related to the condo, at all times. Any guests that violate this policy, without prior conversation with us, will be subject to immediate removal from the unit without a refund.

Guests are responsible for any citations that they may incur during their stay.

HOA may issue fines for violation of the following rules:

- Pools hrs are strictly enforced between the hrs of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. (no loud music throughout the day)

We stayed for a week and the property was perfect. The carpets need to be cleaned/updated because they are worn. The pool was smaller than we expected but the overall experience was great.

Palms Springs Tram Trip!

My fiancé and I booked this trip to hike to the peak of San Jancinto Mt. This was on our bucket list. We are not a big fan of “Palm Springs” but really like Palm Desert so we picked this place. It was everything we expected. We always choose premier host or super host for this very reason everything is exactly as they say! We would both highly recommend this place. You will not be dissatisfied at all.

We had a great experience with this property. It was situated close to where we needed to be and comfortable to relax and work remotely. The pool was nearly across the street, which made it wonderful for an evening dip. We felt at home, so thank you for your hospitality.

We liked this unit

We really liked this unit: spacious, comfy bed, big bathrooms, modern style comfortable furniture, kitchen well stocked with everything you need. Big supply of brand new bathroom towels & lots of pool towels. Good deck w comfortable chairs & a brand new bbq. Great location, with quick access to freeway & lots of amenities nearby. Nice tennis courts & a good gym. Excellent communication with property manager. Had one issue upon arrival that was dealt with immediately. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is the wall to wall carpet has some stains and the appliances are older (but worked well). We would def return.

About the host

Hosted by Billy

Host profile image
We love getting to the desert when we can. We live in Seattle, so we have the help of Billy, our outstanding local property manager.

The best thing about hosting is making guests happy. It's really addictive! Every time a guest stays with us, we get a chance to share our place with them, and we love it when they tell us how much they enjoyed their stay. On the few times that guests have not been happy, we have taken their feedback very seriously and invested in improvements that our guests value.

Why they chose this property

Desert Falls is such special spot - a great golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, literally dozens of pools - and it's so close to everything else in the valley. Our guests tell us that they love that our place is in a quiet corner of Desert Falls and that they often have the pools to themselves.

What makes this property unique

Guests also tell us that they enjoy the furnishings, decor, and overall vibe of the place. We know that it's a Spanish look on the outside, but we like modernist furniture and art and wanted to give it a mid-century modern feel inside. And we wanted to make it fun, without feeling too kitchey. We love hearing from guests that we've succeeded. One guest in particular told us that they had plans to spend more time exploring the area but felt so at home that they hardly wanted to leave the property during their stay.

Guests tell us they appreciate that almost everything is new and fresh and clean. This property was in great shape when we got it, with recently remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, and we refreshed it recently with new paint and furnishings. At a guest's suggestion, we replaced all the major kitchen appliances. We love them, and guests who've stayed since then have given really positive feedback too.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
