Tortoise Oasis - A private desert retreat near Joshua Tree National Park
Tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood, Tortoise Oasis blends mid century modern design with relaxed bohemian charm and comfortably hosts up to 6 guests. This is a space created for slowing down, reconnecting, and truly enjoying your time away.
A place to play: Challenge each other to shuffleboard, bocce ball, ping pong, or cornhole, and turn simple moments into laughter filled memories. Whether it is friendly competition at sunset or late night games under the stars, boredom is not on the itinerary.
A place to unwind: Slip into the hot tub after a day in the park. Sway in a hammock beneath the trees. Gather around the fire pit in Adirondack chairs as the desert sky fills with stars. This is where shoulders drop and conversations linger.
A place to connect: Share meals around the large indoor dining table or grill and dine outside on the spacious patio table. The layout is designed for togetherness, whether you are celebrating, reconnecting, or simply enjoying unrushed time.
A place to relax: End your evenings curled up on the couch streaming your favorite shows on Disney+, Netflix, or Amazon Prime, or simply enjoy the quiet that only the desert can offer.

8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
I rented this house so my 15 year old twins would be entertained with the shuffle board, ping pong, and hot tub. We used the shuffle board a lot and had a blast with that. The hot tub was a steamy 104, my kids loved it. The fire pit was a nice touch as well. The bedrooms were really cozy and the beds were super comfortable. We all slept really well. The house is in a nicer area of Yucca and close to Walmart and restaurants. We felt very safe.

We loved our stay here! Great location close to Joshua Tree (the town and the park). We had so much fun playing shuffle puck and ping pong. Adorable decor, well-stocked. Truly top notch!

So very happy that my boyfriend and I booked at the Tortoise Oasis for a post-new year city detox. From the time of booking right to check-out, the property manager (Ryan) was attentive, helpful, and super responsive. The property was a perfect size and SO well appointed. Every detail was thought of and so appreciated, it made our stay relaxing and pleasant. Shuffleboard, jacuzzi, and other board games were a HUGE hit and a great was to be present and spend time together.
A lovely, lovely place to book if you are gisoting Yucca Valley/Joshua Tree. Don't even think twice.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2024
The first impression was pretty rough. The front of the property had giant weeds growing out of the side walks and flower beds. The trash cans were left half in the street and half on the lawn from the week before. I know this because the trash pick up was the first morning that we were there. The back yard was just as covered in weeds. The inside of the home was clean, nice and well equipped. We had a great time playing shuffle board. The location was great, very convenient to the park.The issue we had was that only one of the showers worked and there was not a note left explaining the situation. We didn't discover the issue until late at night when the master bedroom with the other bathroom had guests asleep in it. When we were finally able to make contact with the owner the next day they would not send someone out to repair the shower nor would they make any financial compensation for the inconvenience. They said they would have it repaired after we left. On top of that they charge a hefty security deposit that they charge at the time of the reservation and do not refund it until 14 days after the end of the reservation. This is the highest security deposit that we have ever been charged with VRBO. So be aware, if you make a reservation 2 months in advance they will hold the entire deposit that entire time!
