About this house rental

Welcome to your private slice of paradise. Lush palms, desert wildlife, and three tranquil fountains create a serene estate designed for effortless relaxation and memorable time together.

Indulge in a private outdoor soaking tub under the stars, followed by a refreshing open-air shower. When it’s time to play, enjoy horseshoes, darts, and a sunken in-ground trampoline designed for effortless fun.

Evenings invite conversation around the fire pit, while sunny days are best spent lounging by the pool with toys and floats for all ages.

Convenience meets luxury with close proximity to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and Southwest Church — a popular shuttle pickup location for Coachella and Stagecoach, just a short walk away.

When it’s time to unwind, retreat to plush king-size beds designed for deep, restful sleep. Thoughtful essentials — shampoo, soap, blow dryers, and straightening irons — are all provided, so you can relax without a second thought.

The pool’s shallow sun shelf invites effortless relaxation, with in-water lounging beneath umbrellas and uninterrupted desert sun.

Three king bedrooms and one queen bedroom. Two rooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with dual sinks. Expansive living room with gas fireplace. Chef-style kitchen fully stocked with Keurig and traditional coffee makers, Vitamix, juicer, food processor, slow cooker, rice cooker, full seasoning set, and oven with broiler.

From a private sports field for football, baseball, and Frisbee golf to bocce ball, croquet, horseshoes, ping pong, and poolside games — the property is designed for nonstop fun.

This is also our family home, thoughtfully decorated with personal touches and family photos that many guests enjoy. We hope it helps you feel comfortable, welcome, and truly at home.

This backyard is straight out of a magazine! Absolutely amazing; next time we will take a day off from golf just to enjoy all the sitting areas, outdoor kitchen, and pool. Communication with the Owner was perfect. Instructions were simple, all rooms were clean and well-appointed. Great find, great location; we will be back.

We had a great stay for family Spring break. The house was perfect and truly is all about the outdoors. The kids spent all day every day in the pool and we were able to make family meals in the amazing outdoor kitchen. Would definitely stay here again.

It was a beautiful home with an amazing backyard and pool. Maria was very accommodating and the accommodations were extremely clean & everything labeled which made it easy to find items. We had a question about using the cable TV and she responded right away and walked us through getting it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this home.

Our family met for Granddad’s 70th and Dylan’s 8th birthday. We had such a fabulous time in the pool and spa plus the BIG back yard was great for playing soft ball. We kept the 3 grandkids busy and the adults had a blast.
