About this house rental

The Citrus House is named for its many fragrant citrus trees, whose blossoms flood the grounds with their sweet scents during the spectacular spring months. There is a magical wonder about the house that one has to simply bask in to believe. Once owned by Darryl Zanuck, founder of 20th Century Fox, the Citrus House is a peaceful and comfortable oasis just steps from the wonderful downtown shopping and delicious restaurants. A word of warning though...it can be a tough property to leave :)

The comfortably charming main house features two large master bedroom suites. Through a short hallway off the beautifully appointed kitchen, the cozy bunk room (sleeps 4) includes a full bathroom, as well as it's own HD television. The Citrus House also offers 3 guest casitas, each with their own entrance - and each with a full bathroom, HD television, and tastefully designed furnishings. The three casitas are part of a separate structure which also features a view deck, where one can take in the majestic beauty of Mt. San Jacinto and the surrounding peaks.

The Citrus House includes a gourmet, state-of-the-art kitchen, ideal for entertaining and perfect for large gatherings. The large swimming pool and private jacuzzi are surrounded by comfortable designer outdoor furnishings. A large, covered, custom built wooden dining table provides an ideal setting for outdoor meals. Additional amenities include a traditional Bocci Ball court with nighttime lighting, an old steel cauldron outdoor fire pit circled by comfortable padded seating, a covered outdoor fireplace, a brand new outdoor pizza oven, a BBQ grill, 7 beach cruiser bikes, and 1 tandem bike. 1/1

Come, relax, and enjoy the sweetness of the Citrus House!

I don’t think the listing and pictures of this property does it justice! This home was perfect for my busband’s 50th birthday week. The home was STOCKED with everything you need to host a large party from 2 coffee machines, multiple wine fridges and lots of seating both indoors and out. The individual casitas were perfect for adults who need some quiet and privacy and the 4 person bunk room was just right for the kids. The pool and hot tub were also big enough to accomodate the large party. The lawn chairs were very comfortable, not the cheap plastic ones! The location could not be beat! We walked to dinner every night along with shopping and drinks. It’s also centrally located to the airport 15 min, Aerial Tramway 20 min and Joshua tree 45 min. Thank you for making this weekend one to remember!

The Citrus House was perfect for our family trip for a surprise birthday destination. Malia was great with recommendations and the check in process and check out was easy. The kitchen had all the pots/pans/dishware. Pool and hot tub were great. It was so hot while we were there we spent a lot of time in the pool. The citrus trees had huge grapefruits to pick and were delicious. Great outdoor space for kiddos to run around and play and explore. Walkable distance to the main area with restaurants etc. Rooms were spacious and accommodated our large party of people.

The host and the housekeeper were very welcoming and the communications were easy. We got in much later than expected and the housekeeper waited for us to arrive. The house is lovely and comfortable. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. We did a lot of cooking and tthe kitchen has every piece of equipment you could possibly need. Great location. Beautiful yard and house.
