About this house rental
Neon Moon is the desert’s most cosmic, out-of-this-world escape where planetary energies mingle and align to create an ultra-magnetic experience. Located in the darkest area of Joshua Tree, the stars really do come alive at night. In the heart of the protected land of Monument Manor on 7.5 acres, this large slice of starry heaven is perfect for artistic retreats, relaxed get-togethers, family gatherings, or the midnight dreamers and stargazers.
The open floor plan is perfect for gatherings of all kinds, while pops of bright colors, magical lighting and trippy art ensure good vibes only. Relax in the realm of emotions by sharing a moment of gratitude with a Pisces in the built-in spa; or set some intentions for the season to come and share your passions in the realm of creation with a Leo or a Sagittarius around the fire pit; ground yourself and clear your mind with a Taurus in a morning or moonlit meditation. It’s positively elemental!

SLEEPING:

Bedroom 2 (Thunder Room) — Queen size bed with mesmerizing LED ceiling thunder clouds.
Bedroom 3 (Star Room) — Queen size bed with starry galaxy mood lighting.
Entertainment Room (The Purple Room) — Queen sofa couch.
The Purple Room is the best place to be in the house when the moon is high and the night is young. Featuring our signature Silent Disco Machine with 8 wireless headphones, you can keep the party going without worrying about noise! Put your headphones on and step outside through our large sliding glass doors to dance through the desert air on the astroturf under a full moon, or stay inside for a blacklight party - don’t forget to wear light colors! Turn the HD projector on to display your favorite visuals to enhance the experience or to capture an artistic souvenir photo from your trip to a galaxy far away. When the party is over, relax and sit back in our oversized bean bag and lounge seating for movie night or get riled up and go back to the 90’s for a game of Mario Kart on the Nintendo 64! Yes, we provide a couple games and our collection is growing!

Featuring an incredible outdoor space with a large AstroTurf front yard perfect for honoring the sun whether you practice sun salutations or just sunbathing, and plenty of comfortable seating to connect to your breath and body and balance your energy.

Show your competitive side with a round of corn hole or demonstrate your culinary expertise while grilling up some dinner at the BBQ. When the sun goes down on this side of town, the fun really begins. Spot your sign in the vast skies above from the outdoor King sized bed or cozy up by the fire-pit in our large 8-person outdoor lounge seating while you watch the moon rise behind the rock mountains.

“I’ll be alright as long as there’s light from a Neon Moon."
Other Things to Note:
EARLY CHECK-IN OR LATE CHECK-OUT:
Check-in is after 4PM. Check-out is by 11AM. Requests for early check-in and late check-out are not guaranteed, and subject to additional fees.
SPA/JACUZZI:
We understand this spa is a highly desired amenity, and we want you to enjoy it! Please note our built-in heated spa runs off of propane and uses 1.25 gallons of propane per hour. The market rate of residential propane in the desert is $4.41 per gallon. If you wish to use the spa, we ask you to follow the honor’s system and cover the cost of propane usage. We have a flat rate of $50per day (+ tax) — it really costs us more, but we feel this is fair in case you don’t use it for the entire day. If it’s not in use, please keep it turned off.
To prevent the heater from overheating in extreme desert temperatures, the spa shuts off automatically between 2 am-9 am and will need to be turned back on manually. The spa takes about 3-4 hours to heat up. Please let us know at least ONE day prior to check-in if you would like the spa heated upon your arrival. The heater makes some noise when it is on. Finally, the spa has a small leak, so we leave a hose dripping into it — please do not tamper with it.
COWBOY POOL:
The cowboy is not heated, but is great for dipping your feet in and enjoying the view!

Great house for 2 families and the perfect location next to the park! House was clean and as pictured! Very family friendly! The hot tub was amazing and we enjoyed our time so much! Highly recommend Neon Moon for your next trip!
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
This place is in a gem of a location. You simply can't beat the entire backyard hillside of boulders to explore and hike into. We've been all around this area and you genuinely can't beat this place if you want a proper Joshua Tree experience.This is our 2nd time here, the last time being 6 years ago. It's been remodeled and likely changed owners but it's been kept up very well through all that. Clean with all the amenities you expect from a well kept VRBO. We came here with our 3 kids and had an amazing time using this as base camp. Thanks!Now... here's a few things for the owners. Not deal breakers but keeping you honest. Couldn't find any kitchen scissors, tiny thing but would be nice. You could really make things special by updating the mattresses and replacing that master bathroom ceiling fan with something not as loud. But again, not deal breakers and didn't detract too much from our enjoyment.

We had a great time! Thanks to the host for being responsive and helpful. We especially loved the hot tub, hiking trail, and amazing views!
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
The location, views and vibes are second to none! Although older construction, the home itself does a great job providing everything needed for an amazing stay in JT. Overall we only had three deductions.Kitchen: Chef friendly, open design great for communal cooking and gathering. If your planning on cooking w/depth, you should bring your own pans, utensils, etc. Nice variety of spices provided, still recommend bring your own.Living: open and comfortableBedrooms: Above average mattresses, queen is the largest, which is one of our only deductionsA/C: Fantastic! Obviously a newer unit and works like a beast... needed in SummerBathrooms: Great water pressure and plenty of really hot waterPool / Hot tub: One of our other deductions. The cowboy pool is somewhat typical for the area, but with the amazing setting, upgrading the pool, HT area would make this property one of the true elite properties in the area.Ravens: Eddie and Ethel reside atop of the backyard mountaintop. You might mistake them for hawks which is part of their game... flying over head yelling "I'm a hawk, I'm a hawk" ..they're funny and add a ton of character to the outdoor experience.
