About this property

Stay at the Sunburst

A few minutes from Joshua Tree National Park's main entrance and walking distance to the quirky town of Joshua Tree and the official park visitor center, the Sunburst is an eclectic space with all the amenities you need for a quick jaunt into the park (roadtrippers, we salute you!) or a week-long retreat with a private hot tub, a grill, and an outdoor chiminea fire pit. Enjoy some of the best starriest night skies and purply-pink sunsets in CA. We hope you love our Mojave home as much as we do!

Everything you need, super responsive hostess

I loved my stay at the Sunburst! The room is bright and cheerful, with fun art everywhere you look. The bed was comfy, the shower warm, the refrigerator cold--and you cannot beat a fire and a hot tub soak under the stars! Will definitely return. Highly recommend.

Fun!

We had a very fun and relaxing stay at this lovely little vrbo. It was super clean and centrally located near restaurants and shops as well as very close to the parks entrance. Check in and out was super easy and little touches like holiday candy and a nespresso machine made things feel extra special.

Sunburst at Joshua Tree

We enjoyed our stay at the Sunburst property. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and worked well for the two of us. I knew from the listing that the washer and dryer were in a separate room with a coded lock, however I did not know the microwave and refrigerator were also located in this room. This was a disappointment.

Sunburst Weekend Stay

Had a great experience at this location! Clean and very comfortable room and bathroom. Really nice decoration inside and the outside area is very relaxing. Also in a prime location. Right at the entrance of the park and really close to everything in town. Would recommend!

Fantastic proximity to Park

Bed and shower, laundry next door. Basic and clean. Didn’t use hot tub or backyard. No table or chair in room. Unable to use coffee maker and not able to get hot water for tea so had to make stop before hiking.

Sunburst serving up Smiles for Miles

The location is right off the main road into town and is very close to the entrance to the park. It’s a 10min drive to 29 palms where we spent a majority of our time. We looked forward to coming back to The Sunburst after a long day of hikes and eating at the local restaurants ( The Ground Squirrel, Kitchen in the Desert, grabbing something to go from the Roadrunner, and treating ourselves at the 29Palms Inn.) Back to the Sunburst, the room fit myself (6’4”) and my Fiancée ( (5’9”) comfortably. One thing I would mention is that there is no kitchen so plan accordingly but there is a microwave that we used to make our oatmeal in the morning. There’s a small fridge to keep drinks cold and a washer and dryer that we didn’t end up using. The star of the sunburst was the hot tub at the end of the day. Hot and relaxing while looking up at the stars was my favorite part with my favorite person. The backyard was very welcoming and beautiful, complete with a chiminea, and perfect to practice yoga, and read magazines in the sun. Such a gem, so happy with our stay. Cheers!

Fine Stay But Misleading

Overall the stay was good and had no complaints about the host! However…the listing is a bit misleading. The pictures & listing make it seem like the backyard is completely private, however the hosts house spans the entire backyard and is actually completely open to the backyard with open windows everywhere. The hot tub is about 2 steps from the hosts patio deck and you can see into their bedroom while you’re sitting in it. The host was really sweet but it was overall just really weird to see people home through the windows when trying to have a romantic getaway with your partner. Had the listing been more honest we would have stayed somewhere else.
