Very nice property for our needs. In good shape and attractive. A few modest touches could have made it excellent. Needed a tool (brush) to clean the bbq, ensure that things like door handles, toilet paper holders, etc. are working. This sounds more negative than Ii intend but you did ask. Great house for kids with small home pool, access to large facility pool, fitness center and much more. We would highly recommend!!

Excellent house
Excellent property in the PGA West development. Extremely clean had all amenities to make it feel like home. Easy walk to the community pool. Excellent pathways for riding your bikes with minimal car traffic. Close to golf courses and La Quinta village. Vare properties were quick to respond from prior to check in all the way until after check out. Would absolutely stay here again.

Family Labor Day 2024 Weekend Getaway
Overall excellent getaway! The home was magnificent and much more than we expected. The house was beautifully decorated and we were all comfortable from the moment we walked through the door. The pool along with the outside TV and water misters added to our enjoyment. We will definitely return back to make more memorable family memories!
