About this property

Perfect location / total reno - fantastic views of the mountains to the south

This fully renovated, tastefully decorated condo in the desert provides a wonderful experience in a warm & inviting home away from home that sleeps 6 . This quiet end unit has a spectacular view of the golf course & palm trees with the mountains providing a great backdrop. This home includes new kitchen & bathrooms w/granite counter tops, new tile flooring & deep pile carpets in the bedrooms.

The well-equipped kitchen with a large window overlooking the golf course comes equipped with stainless steel appliances including a gas top range, waffle maker, toaster oven, grinder for your Starbucks beans and blender to make your favorite drink. Relax on the back patio after barbecuing on the Weber barbecue and enjoy the breathtaking view of palm trees and mountains in the background. The patio has wonderful south facing exposure overlooking the 6th hole of the east course. The pool and hot tub are just a short walk out the door.

Enjoy watching a movie on the large flat screen wall-mounted HDTV located just above the fireplace while sitting comfortably on stylish cream leather couches in the living room.

The master bedroom has an incredibly comfortable king sized bed and a flat screen TV. The second bedroom has a queen bed, and the den acts as a third bedroom with a flat screen TV and a queen pullout couch with a memory foam topper for added comfort. The living room, kitchen and all bedrooms have ceiling fans.

With Monterey Country Club’s excellent central location, all your favorite shops and restaurants are just a short drive including the famous El Paseo for the supreme shopping experience. The well known College of the Desert weekend fair on Monterey is just a couple of blocks down the road - an experience not to be missed. The Palm Springs airport is only a 25 minute drive as is the Thursday night street fair in Palm Springs – a fun extravaganza that’s well worth visiting.

Beautiful condo & location

We had a wonderful & very peaceful stay & absolutely loved everything about this well maintained and nicely decorated condo. The beds & sofas were so very comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for cooking & entertaining. We can’t think of anything we needed that wasn’t already provided. The view of golf course from the patio, living area & kitchen is beautiful and gated community is very quiet & friendly. We liked that this condo is close to shopping & centrally located to just about everywhere we wanted to go in & around the greater desert community. Everything worked perfectly . No problems. We would definitely recommend this place to friends & would stay here again. Thank you Lori for renting out your place for others… like us.. to enjoy!

Beautiful condo

It doesn't get better than this. Beautifully appointed and so comfortable at the same time, plus the views from the patio are spectacular. We want to come back again but next time stay for at least a month or two. It has everything you could possibly need and Lori was such a pleasure to work with.

Perfect setting

Lori’s home is in a perfect setting. Overlooking the fairway with the mountain vistas in the background was spectacular. The home was well equipped, comfortable with all the amenities of home. Lori was easily accessible and very accommodating. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Lovely property and wonderful host

Lori was SO accommodating in every regard. She communicated with us promptly before and during our stay. The property is beautiful and well kept with a stocked kitchen, decent pots and pans and all the dishes and service items you need. They have ample towels and pool towels. Beds are comfy, even the pull out sofa. They have nice “extras” such as a sink in the garage with gadgets to clean your golf clubs, a golf bag stand, two bikes to cruise around on, etc. The location was great, close to 2 community pools/hottubs, tennis courts and located behind a bunker on the golf course for viewing enjoyment. The backyard faces south, so you can enjoy the patio any time of day.

Airy, bright interior with tasteful decor. Kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, and then some! Immaculate and everything in good working condition. Automatic awnings gave great shade to patio. Modern bathrooms, comfy beds, and owners who were congenial and always available to answer questions. We’ll return again.

Wonderful stay in Palm Desert.

Great view of the Palms lining the golf course with the mountains as a back drop. Condo was very comfortable. Our month just flew by. Owners were very responsive when minor problem with hot water heater developed. One of our favorite stays in the desert. Always a sad day when we pull out of the drive way to head home.

Fabulous Two Months

It was a pleasant surprise to rent a property on VRBO that actually was as good as it was advertised. The condo was beautifully furnished, updated, and well maintained. The kitchen was especially well thought out with pretty well everything a cook could want. The morning views of the golf course, the blue skies and the mountains are to die for. Lori and Murray, the owners, were always available by email/phone to answer any questions we had. They were a delight to deal with. The Monterey Golf and Country Club is beautifully maintained by an army of gardeners who seem to be planting flowers and shrubs continually. Lunch at the clubhouse is a fabulous deal and sitting on the patio is heaven (except for the smokers who for some reason are still allowed there). Tuesday night, Fiesta Night, is fun with drinks and nibbles for about $3 each. The condo is central to Palm Desert and the Coachella Valley. Nothing is more than a couple of miles away. We will definitely look at coming back again to Lori's and Murray's place for another long stay next time we go to the desert.

Wonderful condo!

My family just returned from a one-week vacation in this condo. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The unit is beautifully decorated (recently renovated) and very clean. The photos don't show you just how large the condo actually is -- we had more than enough room for the four of us. The owners were wonderful to deal with and any and all questions were answered right away via email. The condo is situated in a great location in the Monterey Country Club. The club itself is gated and very secure -- we felt very safe there. When you sit outside on the patio, you're overlooking the golf course. Very peaceful. The location of Monterey Country Club is very central in Palm Desert, making it very easy to get to just about everything: theaters, shopping, restaurants, Costco, highway. We would definitely recommend this unit to our friends and family. If you go, don't miss dinner at Papa Dan's (fantastic Italian!)!

About the host

Hosted by Lori Smith

Owning a home in Palm Desert has been a dream of ours for many years and we are thrilled to now be a part of Monterey Country Club. The 24 hr. security staff at the gate are always there with a wave and a smile and provide a welcomed sense of safety. We look forward to many years at our condo and look forward to sharing it with others.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because we had stayed at a condo in Monterey Country Club previously and thoroughly enjoyed the view and the beautiful surroundings. We wanted a central location in the valley that gave us close proximity to everything the desert has to offer. The location of our condo in Monterey a Country Club is far enough away from the main drag of Monterey that there is no sound of traffic whatsoever.

What makes this property unique

Nothing equals the relaxing experience of lounging on the patio watching golfers go by, with a gorgeous view of palm trees and mountains in the background! We wanted an end unit which provides more daylight & windows as well as privacy. We also wanted to be south facing to give us the best view & sun.
