Amazing!

We loved this house! Communication with the owners, cleanliness, and attention to detail was spot on. The place was extremely comfortable for our family of 5. From the pool, spa, outdoor games and fireplace to the cozy living rooms inside we really were able to recharge after day hikes in Joshua Tree NP. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good place to stay while visiting Joshua Tree. We would also stay here again if we decided to visit the area in the future!

Incredible Desert Getaway!

This trip was comprised of 8 well traveled women and this was undoubtedly the most incredible vacation home we have ever stayed in! The house was immaculate in every facet. Being able to jump in the pool after coming home from hiking Joshua Tree to watching a movie on their cozy couch, all 8 of us could have stayed here forever. If you’re looking for a desert getaway that feels like home, this is it! Skip and Monica were amazing. I cannot wait to come back one day!

Stunning house and ideal base for exploring Joshua Tree NP

What a find this was! The house itself is truly stunning: spacious, luminous, tastefully decorated, equipped with highest-grade furnishings and appliances throughout.. and that's before you even step out into the huge, secluded back yard to take in the beautiful scenery and relax by the pool and firepit. Located a short drive away from the park entrance and major shopping plazas it really proved an ideal, idyllic base for recharging after exploring Joshua Tree during the day and will irreparably spoil our expectations of a holiday home for the foreseeable future.

Like staying at a friend's house

We've stayed at a wide variety of VRBO's, in every sense of the word. I was so impressed with this one that I had to think about how best to sum it up. More than just staying at a nice rental, it really felt like staying at a friend's vacation home. Well equipped with actual nice things, with good kitchen knives for example, not cheap rental-quality knives. Thoughtful touches everywhere that you'd do if you were actually living there. And a great location, with the desert right out the door. Highly recommend Skip & Monica's property.

Beautiful Property!

Truly an exquisite home! The house was spotless, and so well appointed. The layout was perfect for 2 families traveling together. Everyone had their own space when needed and the gathering areas for playing games and being together were so comfortable. The location is a very short walk to some great hikes. The pool and jacuzzi were clean, warm and inviting and seemed brand new! The owners Skip and Monica were easy to reach and lovely to communicate with. The only thing we would have changed about our stay is the length! We wish we had booked more time to enjoy this lovely VRBO! Thank you Skip and Monica for a very memorable getaway!

Perfect getaway for a group of friends!

We had a great time at Skip and Monica's place. The house and amenities are so nice it was difficult for us to leave. The well stocked kitchen allowed us to cook for ourselves and make big family meals. We used the heated pool and hottub almost everyday, even with the chilly and windy weather. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were were spacious, clean and so nicely decorated. It was a great size for our group of 7! The property was large and felt very private. The location is well located allowing us to visit Joshua Tree Park, Pioneer Town, and even get to Palm Springs in a reasonable amount of time. There are also hikes within walking distance of the home. Would love to come back!!!

One of the Best Stays We've Ever Had!

We booked this home for our step son’s birthday, and it truly exceeded all expectations. By far one of the best VRBO experiences we’ve ever had. The house was immaculate—super clean and thoughtfully designed for comfort and fun. Perfect for our family getaway!The location is amazing—tucked away at the end of a quiet court, it felt so private and peaceful. The amenities were incredible: a beautiful pool and hot tub, cozy fire pit in the backyard that was perfect for our s’mores night, corn hole, foosball, and more. The big, comfy couch in the living room was perfect for relaxing, and every bed was extremely comfortable as well. We also really appreciated the little sitting areas in each bedroom—such a nice touch.Skip and Monica were the perfect hosts—responsive, friendly, and genuinely accommodating. Thank you both for your wonderful hospitality. We’ll absolutely be back!

Beautiful Vacation Getaway

So many great memories made during our stay. The house has everything you need plus some. One of the best rentals we have ever stayed at. The rental was extremely clean and we were all comfortable during our stay. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and the kids enjoyed the pool daily. We loved watching the sunrise from the jacuzzi and the sunsets were unbelievable. The Two living rooms were great allowing kids and the adults to have their own space. Kitchen stocked with everything you need tons of spices, nice quality pans and knives ready for the chef. Access to Joshua Tree trails pretty much from the backyard. A short walk up to the campground where you can jump on multiple trails. Warren Peak Trailhead is right there and had absolutely amazing views at the peak. Nice selection of local restaurants and stores as well as national chains right there. Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay close to it all.

After minutes on the property, you will want to give Skip and Monica 20 stars. Their communication is far superior to anything I’ve experienced with VRBO. The home looks just like the pictures. There are notes for any questions you may have while in home plus they even checked in on us. If you are planning a trip to Yucca Valley this is the place. Thank you Skip and Monica.

Quiet desert refuge

We were looking for a place to spend some time away from everything but desert, sun and sky, and this was perfect. The house was way too big for the two of us, but we felt entirely comfortable and the house would be wonderful for up to 8 folks -- four bedrooms, three bathrooms and lots of wonderful living spaces, indoors and out. Pretty much anything you might need/want is there, in a wonderful setting, with the pool/hot tub perfect for day or night. Be sure to have the pool heated if you're there in cooler weather -- this is really necessary even if you're only using the hot tub, as the water circulates between the pool and tub [and extra charge, but necessary]. For hiking, the house is right below a park with trails, but of course no one should miss visiting Joshua Tree National Park, which is very close.

Magical escape!

This property made me fall in love with the desert! Check in was seamless, Skip and Monica even let us check in early at no charge. The location of the property is great & neighborhood is very quiet, food & anything else you need is less than 10 min drive. The house was luxurious: immaculately clean, AC worked great, comfortable beds, the master bathroom was LOVELY. The interior design was tasteful. The layout of the house was well thought out, loved that the master bed, the living room, and the sitting area all had doors leading to the pool. The pool was the highlight - my family spent the majority of our time in the pool and hot tub. Huge back yard perfect for our dogs to run around. There was a nice shady area in the back, which was great because even during the heat of the day our dogs had somewhere to go that wouldn’t hurt their paws. The view from the back yard was breath taking. Loved doing yoga in the early morning out back - it was soo peaceful and relaxing. At night we saw the largest shooting star I have ever seen! It lit up the whole night sky for over a minute, my family and I were stunned. Such a wonderful getaway. Needless to say we did not want to leave!
