This house was a favorite!
We loved everything about this house. Our experience was perfect from beginning to end. We arrived to a lovely welcome basket. That was such a nice surprise. Jim was attentive and always responded very quickly. The rooms were spacious and open. The two casitas were a huge perk and the young couples were very happy to have the privacy. The yard is one of the most beautiful we have had the pleasure of renting. Unfortunately the weather was a bit chilly, so we couldn't enjoy the pool as much as we would have liked. The hot tub was great and got very nice and hot. The fire pit was a really nice touch too. Due to the chill in the air in the evening and not being able to be outside, there were endless hours spent playing pool. That was a very nice touch for us. We could walk to town and there are lots of restaurants within close proximity. The only thing I'm sad about is that I won't be back until next year. I would happily rent this lovely place over and over again.

Does it get any better than this?
Would be 5 1/2 stars if it were possible. Likely the best VRBO property in our history. Everything as expected plus more. So many activities we didn't even get to ping pong or foosball. Great location in a quiet neighborhood with wide streets, just a short walk to the main streets with shopping and restaurants. Wake up every morning looking at the mountains in the distance. Hiking close by (we were lucky and saw big horn sheep), golf a few blocks away, plenty of tvs for watching and games for playing. And the pool/spa/firepit was a perfect relaxation at the end of any day. Joshua Tree entrances within an hour. Can't thank Jim & Julie enough for their responsiveness and assistance every time we had a question.

Annual favorite vacation
Twin Palms does not disappoint! This home has all the best wrapped up in one great location. It has lovely common areas with so much space to enjoy watching a movie or sporting event. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to use. The home has sufficient bedroom space to please quite a few people. The pool area is so nice because the hosts have provided plenty of seating options. My husband very much enjoyed the spa and the pool towels were plenty! Very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the house was nicely furnished. The location is in our favorite spot of the desert, so easy to get anywhere by car but the best is the ability to walk to El Paseo to all the shops and restaurants. Very quiet neighborhood, the hosts were so kind and always available. We have stayed at almost a half dozen homes in the Shadow Mountain area and this home is right up at the top of our list. This is just a wonderful place for a vacation! I hope to be able to stay again someday. I highly recommend this home.

We live in Los Angeles and have three grown children. Our family has been vacationing in Palm Desert our entire lives. We recently purchased this property and we have kept the entire property mgmt team in place: property manager, cleaning crew, landscaping, pool service, gardening, and maintenance. We have completed the deferred maintenance to bring the property up to it charm and that will continue to warrant the 5-star rating that it has achieved. Enjoy it as we have.

Why they chose this property

We loved what we saw when we walked into this home. We read the VRBO 5.0 reviews and wanted to maintain the charm that is had so we purchased it completely the way it was, bedding and all. Twin Palms El Paseo Estate has a huge south-facing yard, 6-bedrooms, high-quality finishes, and a prime location within walking distance to El Paseo. Our home is ideal for multi-generational family holidays due to its large size with 2 detached casitas for ultimate privacy

For a large family, Twin Palm El Paseo Estate feels like you are at a 5 star resort, with all the comforts of home!
