Beautiful home just a little way out of YV. Views of the hills and Joshua-Tree-studded desert. Very quiet neighborhood of larger parcels and homes. Fully stocked kitchen. A den open to the kitchen with its own 65’ TV. Large living room separate with even bigger TV. Distance between enough for people to break out for visiting. Same with the back yard, the pix can’t even capture the comfort. For even more comfort, 3 King bedrooms along the desert-side facing west, away from living areas, with a Queen bedroom off the kitchen. Ideal property for any ages to gather.

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!!!

We had a great stay in Joshua Tree. The property itself is very welcoming and tranquil. It was a perfect escape from LA for a few days. Everything was clean and exactly as pictured. We walked to a trailhead for a nice hike in Black Rock canyon but spent most of our time by the pool relaxing.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Skip Wells

Host profile image
Welcome to our VRBO profile! We are Skip and Monica, proud VRBO Premier Hosts. I am a retired Vice President of Commercial Lending with a passion for managing our 4 vacation rentals and long-term rentals in California and Texas. Monica, a former Dental Hygienist, enjoys shopping, decorating, and overseeing our cleaning crew as our Hospitality Manager. We are grateful to own such wonderful homes and cherish the opportunity to share them with our guests. Our passion for vacation homes shines through in the details and the friendly, positive interactions we have with our guests. We want every guest to have a memorable and stress-free vacation. That's why we employ professional cleaners to ensure that our homes are always in top-notch condition. On our free time, we love exploring the outdoors near our house in Huntington Beach by swimming, hiking, biking, and inline skating. We also enjoy discovering great restaurants, art exhibits, music venues, and other experiences that we can recommend to our guests and friends!

Why they chose this property

We are thrilled to share that we acquired this property in November 2020 and have spent a year meticulously renovating and preparing the house to make it the perfect desert oasis. We fell in love with the location and the stunning views that can be seen from every window, and we've worked hard to create a luxurious indoor space that blends seamlessly with the natural beauty of the surrounding desert.

This property is especially meaningful to us because it was our largest project yet, and we're proud to say it's now the fourth vacation rental in our portfolio. We believe our guests will appreciate the care and attention we've put into every detail, from the high-quality furnishings to the thoughtful amenities we've included to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We can't wait to share this special place with you and hope you'll choose to make it your home away from home during your time in the desert.

What makes this property unique

We love the location at the top of Sky-Harbor right next to the boundary of Joshua Tree National Park at Black Rock Canyon Campground and Horse Camp. Getting around Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree is a breeze, with Highway 62 running through the entire city. Along the way, you'll find Morongo Valley gas stations, Cactus Mart, and a variety of unique vintage stores with cafes sprinkled in. Be sure to stop by the Frontier Cafe on Pioneer Road and Hwy 62 before checking out the art display at the ACME gift shop out back, and don't miss the inviting Hoof and Post and other nearby shops.

There are also several grocery stores along Hwy 62, including Stater Brothers, Vons, and Grocery Outlet, as well as a row of fast food options that includes Arby’s, McDonald's, Del Taco, Sonics, and Starbucks. Towards Yucca Valley's end, you'll find the Super Walmart and Home Depot, along with more chain eateries like Steak and Shake, Panda Express, and Taco Bell.

Joshua Tree City is home to stunning scenic views and unique stores, including the must-visit Rock Shop and Joshua Tree Coffee. If you're up for an adventure, head down Park Ave. to discover Coyote Corner, JT Saloon (which can have a long wait but is worth it), JT Visitor Center, and the Crochet Museum. Park Ave. is also the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, where you can explore the breathtaking landscapes and take on a variety of hikes. Note that there is a fee of around $30.00 to enter the park, but it's well worth it. Our favorite hike is Parker Dam, and we highly recommend checking out the photo-worthy Skull Rock while you're there.
