What our guests are saying about Desert Vaction Rentals…

This was an amazing weekend getaway for my family.

Patricia’s place was clean, fully furnished and was refreshing and relaxing to come home to after hiking in the desert. The sunrises and sunsets were absolutely gorgeous. She was so communicative and I could not have asked for a better host. An extra plus that her place was close to the north entrance to enter Joshua Park.  Oh and her place is set up so well that she offers a telescope as well! Super cool to see the moon up close!

Jeewon ~ Sherman Oaks, CA

This place was the perfect little getaway!

“It is in a great spot, very private and the property is awesome, and so close to Joshua Tree. The kitchen and bathroom have everything you need so you don’t have to worry about bringing too much with you. The hosts were so helpful in answering questions before and during our stay as well. Highly recommend! And don’t forget your camera for pictures with the old boats and trucks on the property, very cool bonus :)”

Rachel ~  Philadelpia PA

Truly a one of a kind home!

“I absolutely loved this home. My dog and I were self-isolating before it was cool, and this was the place to do it. Just want to say that Patricia is the best property manager of all time with the warmest heart!”

Sarah & Walter ~ Los Angeles CA

The space was large, well maintained and easy to navigate.

We stayed at Patricia’s beautiful property over New Years and had the most wonderful experience. All three residences were comfortable and had lots of amenities.  We wouldn’t hesitate to book this property again soon and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to explore the amazing nature of Joshua Tree..”

Rachel & Family ~ San Pedro, California

This was an excellent accommodation.

“The house was as described and perfect for our family of 4. We all enjoyed the game room and the hot tub after spending the days hiking. The view from the home was awesome. Most importantly to note, the house is 5 minutes from the north entrance to Joshua Tree NP and only 7 minutes from grocery stores. Really an ideal setting for a national park getaway. Patricia was an excellent and responsive host who assisted us without hesitation. Great stay, great service!”

Nikki ~  Roswell, GA

This was an incredibly lovely home and it was tough to leave!

“We enjoyed our stay playing pool, cooking meals in the fully stocked kitchen, relaxing under the starry night in the jacuzzi, warmeding up around the backyard fire pit, soaked up the amazing views in this area, and felt right at home our entire stay. Patricia is an excellent host and made our stay very enjoyable in this prestine home. She is very responsive and ensures you are well taken care of during your stay. Also, the provided guidebook is very elegantly put together and clearly lays out all the need to knows for the home and contains excellent recommendations for restaurants, events, and shops, which was very helpful for us first time visitors in the area. I would highly recommend this location to anyone who is looking to have the perfect little getaway!”

Melissa ~ Lake Forest, CA

In the mornings before things are moving, the silence at this home is powerful.

“This is the second time that I’ve stayed here and have been really grateful for such sweet hospitality and consideration. I don’t do well with fragrances the house cleaning supplies. I’m able to stay here without problems, which is rare for a vacation rental.

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay! “

Kyoko & Family, Los Angeles CA

A beautiful weekend getaway!

The perfect pet-friendly house for two in the most peaceful location. Fresh eggs in the morning were the perfect touch!

Carly ~  Los Angeles, CA

Amazing, amazing stay with the best of amenities.

“Had an amazing stay felt right at home with plenty of things to do with beautiful views. Host was beyond amazing would definitely recommend to everyone”

Jose ~ Anaheim, California

I had an incredible stay at the Zen Den.

The peaceful experience started with the lovely record player, delicious tea, comfortable furniture, and beautiful surroundings. The shower was stocked with high-quality products and the home was the perfect driving distance away from town, yet being still secluded. It’s the perfect place to spend a peaceful long weekend enjoying nature and relaxing among the stars. The Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Museum is also worth a stop a few minutes away. The host was very communicative and I had a truly 5-star experience.

Kelsie ~ Sounderton, PA

We had an excellent stay at the Maude House.

“The location is peaceful and has some lovely views. I particularly loved watching the birds and sunrise with coffee in the early mornings. Our pup very much enjoyed playing in the fenced in yard and we had fun grilling and relaxing outside. Beautiful sunsets and incredible stargazing both nights.

Inside, the home is stylish and comfortable. Everything you need is available. The kitchen and bathroom are well-stocked. The beds are some of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept on—it felt like every need had been thoughtfully anticipated. It makes for a cool respite from warmer Joshua Tree/desert explorations but it’s also just a relaxing place to hang and get away from things.

The hosts are very responsive and we would certainly stay here again for a nice break away from the city.

This place is excellent for a couple traveling (like us), solo travelers, or a family. We were minutes away from shops and restaurants but we also felt pleasantly removed from the bustle of busy life.”

Emily ~  Irvine, CA

We had such a great time here!

Patricia was such a gracious host, and was incredibly helpful and proactive. We had mainly made the trip in for stargazing in Joshua Tree, but ended up being amazed at how clear and beautiful the sky was from the backyard! All in all, we had a great time, and looking forward to staying here again in the future!

Jordan ~  Maryville, TN

One of the best Airbnb experiences I have ever had and I have stayed at quite a few.

Patricia should teach a seminar on how to be the best host- seriously every aspect of our entire experience was top notch. The home itself was beautiful with tons of personal touches and amenities. We especially loved the books and record player. I could go on and on about Rancho Deluxe, if you’re contemplating on staying here… book it NOW! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing your amazing space with us.

Bailee & Gregory ~ Louisville, KY

Exceptional Joshua Tree access (and exceptional house)

Roadrunners Roost provided us with the isolated, desert feeling we were looking for, just outside the Joshua Tree entrance. It had everything we needed, especially in the kitchen, was spotlessly clean, and comfortable.

Robert & Harriet ~ Toronto ON

We had a beautiful stargazing adventure at The Skelton House!

The kitchen is an amateur cook’s dream with all of the necessary equipment to make a hearty breakfast while gazing at the beautiful surroundings of the desert. At night, we laid under the stars on the plentiful outdoor furniture (with cushions kept in the indoor porch so they don’t have any bugs). Patricia is a great host, just a message away for any help or guidance you need with the house. Be sure to read the listing carefully before booking as there is a security deposit and a rental agreement needed by the city of Twentynine Palms (no need to worry, it’s totally legit). We hope to snatch this Airbnb for the next astro event!

 

Aniket ~ Los Angeles, CA

The perfect stay!!

It felt so cozy and like I was at home. I would highly recommend! It’s the perfect distance from everything.

Isabel ~ Los Angeles, CA

Amazing Weekend!

My group and I had an amazing weekend at this beautiful property. There are 3 houses and each one was immaculate, comfortable, and had the most wonderful desert boho vibes! Patricia was also the most fantastic host, she always responded in a timely manner and was very accommodating with our needs. Everything was perfect! Would 10/10 stay here again.

~ Sora C., San Diego, California

Stargazing is amazing!

“A great place to experience the beauty of the desert and Joshua Tree National Park. I was there to take pictures of the night sky and the location is perfect. The combination of dark skies, solitude, and modern comforts made it very easy for me to capture great pictures.”

– Anthony, El Dorado Hills, California

We loved our stay at the Agave Art House!

Patricia was proactive in her communication and the house was eclectic and homey! We loved the option of the fresh eggs too – that was a great addition to our breakfast. We would definitely enjoy staying here again if we find ourselves back in Joshua Tree.”

Lindsey ~ Chandler, AZ

Can I clean the home myself and waive the cleaning fee?

Can we bring our pet?

Certain homes we offer are tailored for pets. Explore our dedicated ‘Pet-Friendly Properties‘ section to find the perfect fit.

Do your properties have Wi-Fi?

All of our homes have internet access and Wi-Fi available. There is a House Manual located in the home with details on how to access the Wi-Fi and other amenities available in the home. We also provide guests with a Digital Guidebook prior to arrival so they can get to know the home and plan their trip prior to arrival.

Do your properties have air conditioning?

All of our homes are either equipped with mini-splits (heat/cool) and/or Evaporative Coolers

Can I throw a party or host an event at the property?

The unique feature of vacation rentals is that you get to experience living in the desert like a local. As all of our vacation rentals are located in residential areas, we ask that you respect your neighbors and keep noise to a minimum. We currently do not have any properties that can accommodate parties or events such as weddings.

What time is check in/check out?

Check-in is 3:00pm and check-out is 11am at most of our properties.

Can I check-in earlier or check-out later than the standard times?

We often have guests checking out in the morning and new guests checking in that same afternoon. Our cleaning crew needs ample time to make sure the property is thoroughly cleaned and pristine for new guests. On the occasion that no one is arriving the day you depart or vice versa, we may be able to accommodate your request. Please contact us no less than 24 hours, and no more than 72 hours, before your scheduled check-out time to inquire if this is possible.

Do you provide toiletries?

Yes, we do provide the basic toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner and body wash. However, for longer stays (1 month plus) we recommend you bring your own toiletries.

Any tips for stargazing?

Stargazing is the second highest reason guests visit the Mojave Desert. Our lower levels of light pollution make it one of the best places in Southern California for viewing the star canopy above. For this reason, we have devoted an entire section of our Digital Guidebook to stargazing with tips for using red lights to clickable links to apps to help you identify the constellations and planets in the skies.
