Perfect as always!

The house is fantastic - clean, spacious, quiet, well-appointed, great neighborhood, close to anything you might need. The yard and pool/spa are amazing! And the hosts are the best. Great communication and friendly. We had a blast and will be back again for a little relaxation in the desert heat. Thank you!

Great, Big Back Yard

We had a great time! We spent most of our time in the backyard and in the pool. Chris was great; very attentive and very helpful. The house has everything you need and is very well maintained. The loft was a lot of fun and well suited for families with kids of all ages. The only downside was the street noise (intermittent) in the back yard, but we got used to it pretty quick and didn’t notice it much after the first day or two. Overall great experience and we would definitely come back!

New favorite!

I’m almost afraid to say how good this house is, because then it will be harder for us to book it again! We rent houses for family vacations several times a year, and we are very picky. This house was perfect for our family in every way! We had plenty of space for everyone to spread out, which was important since we were there together for two whole weeks. Three members of our family were working remotely during this time, and there was always someplace they could get away to work in quiet or take a phone call. The house had everything we needed for an extended stay. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed for the meals we prepared there. There were plenty of bath towels and pool towels. Three separate living areas had plenty of comfortable seating for our family. The backyard was our favorite part. It’s beautifully landscaped with an amazing pool and hot tub. We spent hours every day swimming and relaxing on the comfortable outdoor furniture. Chris and Michelle are helpful and attentive owners. They gave helpful tips and answered questions from the time we booked until our stay ended. We appreciated everything they did to make our stay comfortable and the fact that they were only a text away! Staying here enhanced our Spring Break in every way, and we can’t wait to come back!

Siblings New Years Reunion

This beautiful home is well appointed and clean. We enjoyed the beautifuly landscaped back yard and heated spa. The game room with pool table, games, puzzles, and TV were perfect for relaxing evenings and watching football. There is plenty of space for 6 adults to relax without feeling crouded. The kitchen is well equiped for cooking, the appliances worked well, there was plenty of hot water for 6 adults, the linens are fresh, and the beds wonderfully comfortable. This home fully met our expectations for a family reunion. We would definitely rent this home again.

What a vrbo property should be

The owners clearly have the gift of hospitality. House is perfectly clean, well decorated, well stocked. You know that they are sharing a HOME with you, not just renting a property. Owners were readily available if we had needs or questions during the stay. Excellent experience.

Amazing family getaway

This was truly an oasis in the desert. This was our first visit to La Quinta and this place was everything we had hoped for and more, giving our family a quiet place to relax and enjoy the beautiful property. The location was great, close to all the necessary amenities while still providing the privacy and comfort of a home away from home. Our kids loved being able to enjoy the incredible pool and seating areas throughout the backyard as well as the many board games/pool table in the loft. Chris and Michelle were wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this home for families young and old.

Great Stay

The property was lovely, clean and very comfortable. The owners were great with communicating and even came by to drain the pool as there was a rain storm. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and had plenty of room to hang out. The pool was clean and nice, it has a shelf step which was perfect for the little ones. One thing I really enjoyed was the water pressure, lol. I know it’s silly, but it’s really nice to shower with great water pressure after being in a pool all day! Overall we would totally stay again!

Third visit as good as the last two!

We've stayed here three times and it's been fantastic every time. The owners are great people, very nice and quick to respond. The house is spacious, clean, and comfortable. Stocked with everything we needed for our visit. Big yard, lovely pool, toasty spa, big gas grill, pool floaties and toys for the kiddos. All we needed was our swimsuits and groceries! Close to shopping (Target, Sprouts, Kohls, etc.) in case you forget something. We'll be back!
