Totally Enjoyable

Although this must have been the hottest week in La Quinta, we had a marvelous time at Casa Martinez. Full accommodations, very relaxed environment, fun and refreshing pool; it was a great place to rest and reset and enjoy the family. Thanks again - we had a wonderful time.

Another great stay at the casitas

We have stayed here once before and were happy to be back! They are dog friendly with plenty of grass and shaded areas, and the separate casitas gave everyone a little space and privacy. The pool/outdoor area is fantastic and the AC units do their job when it's time to come inside (important when it's over 100 outside). Looking forward to returning!

Desert getaway

This 2 casita property was private and had lots of outdoor spaces. The pool and the hot tub were great and they even had bikes to ride around the neighborhood. The casitas were modern and the property managers/ owners were very responsive. We will stay here again!

Relaxing desert getaway

I can’t say enough good things about our stay in casa Martinez. Jon made sure everything was spotless and seamless for this trip. The three of us and the dogs had the best time. I would definitely book again the next time we are in la Quinta. I would definitely recommend.

Adorable oasis for both fun and relaxation

We loved hanging out at the pool, letting our dog run his energy out and then retreating from the heat into the cozy and cool comfort of the casita. We truly enjoyed it. The owners thought of everything we might need during our stay. The bed, the pillows, the dishes...everything was thoughtfully chosen to add to the ambiance.

Wonderful oasis!

This is a lovely property that has just the right amount of historIc charm and modern amenities. Lovely grounds and pool area, and the two Casistas would be great for 2 couples or a large family. We had a little problem with the spa heater, but the owners and managers went above and beyond to fix right away! Would definitely rent again!

Relaxing Stay at This Quaint Property

Our foursome thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming pair of villas! The grounds are fairly sizable, offering room to spread out a bit and giving us decent privacy. Kitchens are well stocked and in good working order. Villas were very clean and had enough towels, soap, etc. Everyone slept well on the comfortable beds. Loads of great restaurants were within a short drive or bicycle ride. The heated pool and spa were the highlights of our overall amazing stay. We look forward to many relaxing returns!

We've made this hidden treasure an annual must!!

My family and our good friends (with their kids) found this place last year and loved it. We thought we'd try it again this Labor Day. We were NOT disappointed. The accommodations were amazing and both casitas have anything and everything you might need during your stay. Jon was so polite and quick to answer any questions we had. Highly recommended and we will definitely be booking again in the future!!

Birthday Getaway

When searching for a property in the desert I looked for a nice pool (preferably heated) and dog friendly - this property fit the bill and then some! The kitchen is stocked with all the necessary items and the beds are comfy, but what we loved the most was the outdoor areas/yard and pool. We had a few glitches with the outdoor lighting but management was prompt to reply and remedy the situation. Looking forward to staying here again!

Gorgeous property

Absolutely loved the grounds, and the privacy of the two casitas for two separate couples. Only complaint would be the very complicated pool and spa heating, which was meant to be on a schedule that we pre-paid for, but never actually worked. Still hoping I can receive a refund for that.

Beautiful!

This property is absolutely beautiful and exactly as it seems in the description. It is completely private, easy to get to and check-in/out. There were plenty of blankets, towels, kitchen supplies, toilet paper, etc! The hosts are available, not that we needed anything. ;) My family had a wonderful time and will definitely be trying to get here again!!!

Classic Casitas are perfect for 2 couples or a big family get together.

TWO romantic, luxurious one-bedroom cottages on ONE property is an ideal solution for a couple of couples who want to spend time (but not too much time!) together. The kitchens are very nicely appointed and the casitas are stocked with lots of supplies, including lots of towels for the impossibly wonderful swimming pool and spa! See owner remarks about how many people the casitas can accommodate -- there's lots of room here! And the La Quinta Cove is the ideal central home base for a week or two's exploration of all the desert cities, Joshua Tree, and the surrounding mountains.

It is unfortunate that you felt the experience was not up to your standards, however the beautiful historical double casita property is accurately represented in the details and photos of our listing to showcase the incredible historical details of the property and exemplify the cozy and serene guest experience that it provides. This is reflected by the Exceptional reviews that we have received by the prior 81 guests staying with us through VRBO, resulting in a 9.8 out of 10 stars, and our 86 reviews on Airbnb with a rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars. We were unaware of any issues with your stay until you already decided to depart, and did not allow us any opportunity to discuss or to remedy your complaints. Your chargeback requests to both VRBO and American Express were denied by both companies, after their own investigations into the matter, as your request for reimbursement was determined to be based upon your personal preferences that resulted in your departure not the condition of the property. We are saddened to hear that the experience of your stay was not up to your expectations, as we pride ourselves on providing exceptional experiences for our guests, always.

Felt like a private resort get away!

My girlfriend and I were looking for a private get away to celebrate her birthday with close friends out in Palm Dessert. We saw the amazing pictures of Casa de Martinez on the site and thought this would be the perfect place! As we approached the compound it blew us away how beautiful and stunning the place looked like in person! From the upgraded amenities, details inside and out, the amazing pool (We probably spent about 8 hours in it each day) to the private resort like feel...we all had the time of our lives! We loved this place so much we are already planning our next trip back! We highly recommend this dessert oasis to anyone looking for private get away with friends, family or your significant other.

Great property and location

We stayed at the casitas for two weeks with our adult children and our dog. The property works well for adults who want some individual space and the outside space is terrific! a beautiful yard with grass, great pool and spa and outside seating areas. It was convenient to hiking and old town La Quinta. The property is quaint and historic, and that comes with some small issues. However, the management company LuxBox agency was terrific. They addressed all issues quickly and conscientiously! Thank you Luxbox
