About this property
Desert game house w/ pool, hot tub & BBQ
Welcome to your Indio desert escape - a 5-bedroom game-lover`s retreat built for big groups, packed with indoor & outdoor fun.
- Sleeps 14 | 5 bedrooms | 10 beds | 3 baths - Private outdoor pool & private hot tub - open all year, 24 hrs - Full arcade game room w/ ping pong, pool table, air hockey & more - Fully fenced backyard w/ gas BBQ grill, fire pit & mini golf - EV charger, Wifi & dedicated workspace included - Pets allowed (fee applies)
Step into a home where the desert energy is contagious - arcade lights glow, the backyard beckons, and there`s always a reason to stay up a little later. Set in Indio`s Golden Mile neighborhood, this five-bedroom retreat is built for groups who want more than just a place to sleep. From sunrise pool sessions to late-night hot tub soaks under a star-filled sky, every hour here has something going for it.
Game room & living spaces The open-plan living room and kitchen form the social hub of the home, anchored by a 75-inch Samsung Smart TV and generous seating for the whole group. When the competition heats up, the converted garage game room steps in - finished with epoxy flooring, ambient lighting, a built-in beverage and wine cooler, and its own 75-inch Samsung Smart TV. Ping pong, air hockey, a pool table, foosball, darts, illuminated Skee-Ball, Dual Shot Basketball, a poker table, and classic arcade games make this one of the most stocked indoor playgrounds you`ll find in the desert.
Sleeping arrangements Five bedrooms sleep up to 14 guests comfortably:
Master Suite 1 - 1 King-sized Bed, 1 Twin-sized Convertible Sofa Sleeper, private en suite with soaking tub, tile shower, and double vanity sinks Bedroom 2 - 1 Full Over Full with Twin Trundle Bunk Bed Bedroom 3 - 1 Queen-sized Bed Bedroom 4 - 1 Queen-sized Bed, 1 Twin-sized Convertible Sofa Sleeper Bedroom 5 - 2 Queen-sized Beds
Outdoor living The fully fenced private backyard is ready for year-round use. The private outdoor pool and private hot tub are both available all year, open 24 hours. Chip away at the mini golf putting green, fire up the gas BBQ grill, or pull up a sun lounger and let the afternoon stretch out. As the desert cools after sunset, the fire pit and outdoor dining area make it easy to keep the evening going.
Kitchen & dining The fully equipped kitchen handles group meals without breaking a sweat - stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a drip coffee maker, and all the basics are ready to go. Multiple dining areas including a dining table ensure there`s room for everyone to sit down together.
Comfort & convenience Central air conditioning, ceiling fans, and central heating keep the home comfortable whatever the weather. In-unit washer and dryer, dedicated workspace, Wifi, and Ethernet connection cover the practical side of a longer stay. Self check-in is handled via keypad entry. A crib, Pack `n play/Travel crib, and board games are on hand for families. EV charging is available on the property.

The pool and game room were great. Grandkids loved it. The house was as described. It was very clean and spacious enough for a family of 10. The neighborhood was quiet and family friendly.
The Fun House was everything we wanted for weekend getaway with friends. From checkin to checkout, me and my friends made core memories here. The house was exactly as described and clean. Mike the owner was responsive to any questions I had and always offered insightful tips on how to make our weekend better. The is perfect and great place for friends to relax
House fit our group of 17 which was great. All the games kept everyone entertained all day and night, especially the shuffleboard. Inside of the house was clean and maintained. Extremely hot days while we were there so I understand the AC was working hard, but some bedrooms got cool while others never cooled down and made for uncomfortable to sleep.
Outside was a little different story. Pool was a little dirty and thought it would clean it self up overnight but it didn't. We gave the property management a call and they sent someone out a short time later for a quick clean up.
The electrical connection to the BBQ pit was missing the connector so there was no power to it but we managed to get it started.
Landscaping in backyard could have been maintained a little more because pictures showed how it must have been when the house was first built. Never could get the pool fountains to work and never found the pool umbrellas that go in the pool.
Overall, we still enjoyed the house and didn't let the small issues get to us.
This house was truly incredible. They thought of everything. The beds were very comfortable, rooms were spacious, plenty of room for our group, beautiful pool and backyard area. This house was exactly what we needed and we will most certainly be back!
The house was great, without enough room for all of us and enough space so we weren’t running into each other all day if we needed a break. Everyone loved the pool and game room!
An overall great home for all guests. Check in was easy with all the thorough instructions. We were able to utilize the pool and jacuzzi to relax during our downtime. Only downside was there wasn't enough towels for everyone but the host was able to accommodate the next morning. Would definitely recommend friends and family to consider this place!

Overall we had a great weekend. As I read in other reviews before I booked, there was a problem with pervious guest and the pool heat. It wasn't heated upon arrival for them, I asked host if this issue has been resolved, he said yes, and we had the same issue. We were refunded the first day heating fee. The jacuzzi jets weren't working until next day when a service person had to come out. When we tried to reach host in the middle of the night due to smoke detector waking the whole house up, we were only getting AI responses, very frustrating. We were refunded first night fee. The house was clean, big, fun and us 5 couples had a great weekend.
The home was clean and beautiful. The pool and spa were a good size. The house was decorated with modern touches and attention to detail. The kitchen was very well suited for cooking. The game room had everything you could imagine.
The management company responded to every question promptly.
I would however recommend a king bed in the back room that looks onto the street. Couple as usually like to sleep in king beds and that bedroom was big enough. I feel like that was the only downfall with the property.
The master bathroom floor could have been cleaned a little better. Other than that we had an amazing stay and would rent again.
We had a great time at this property. It was clean , spacious and had all the amenities we needed to enjoy our time together as a family over the holiday.
Beautiful property, comfortable furniture and beds. The pool table, and other “toys” were fun, wonderful pool and spa and plenty of towels. I would recommend they provide tissues in the bathrooms and dish towels to dry dishes, but otherwise everything else is provided. We had a couple of issues when we first arrived-pool not heating, etc-but the management company was very quick to respond to this. I would definitely stay here again.

The house overall was nice but the ad said we would have use of the 3 car garage, when in fact, we did not. It was under construction and the ad was not updated. Also, the jacuzzi heated but the jets would not stay on, so we could not use it and the refrigerator froze our good. We feel we overpaid for what we got!
Very nice property. The spa didn’t work initially but was fixed promptly. There was discussion about the air conditioning. Recommend a couple of putters be made available. Nice pool table, games, etc.
Blue Agave was such a great location and house for a girls weekend! The house was clean and had enough room for all 10 of us! The beds were comfy and they had the house stocked with everything we needed. I will definitely be telling others about this great house! Close to a lot of things in La Quinta and Indio! Felt safe and secure throughout our stay!
