Another Wonderful Spa Vacation

This was our 3rd stay at this vacation home. We enjoyed early morning cold dips in the pool and occasional infrared saunas. There is hiking right outside the door as well as easy access to shops and restaurants. The house has all you need for a comfortable stay. We hope to return yet again in the future!

We're Coming Back For A Third Time!

That says it all. This comfortable home is an extended spa treatment for us. We have a private pool for cold dips (we kept the heater off), a sauna for weary muscles, and plenty of hiking trails just down the street. We would not hesitate to recommend this vacation home.

Spa Vacation in La Quinta Cove

This is a comfortable home with a great room living space, high ceilings, and stylish decor. Just down the street are hiking trails into the mountains which we went most days. The pool was clean and chilly (as we liked it) which was followed by time in the sauna. We considered this a spa vacation because we pampered ourselves each day with these amenities. Would definitely recommend!

Life in La Quinta

We enjoyed our stay. The private pool was truly the highlight. The house was clean and is in a quiet neighborhood. The beds were comfortable and appliances were very nice. The furnishings, cookware, dishes and utensils were minimal. Some upgrades could make the house a little cozier.
