Misleading Listing / DO NOT BOOK!
This property is advertised for its location, privacy and most importantly the private hot tub and private pool. Thou the listed does mention in the “fine” print that there is an additional charge per day if you actually want to use the hot tub.. which is insane to me. Advertise a property with a Hot Tub and Pool, but if the guest wants to actually use the Hot Tub, you have to pay extra. Yes this is listed in the fine print, which I did not see prior, but what is NOT listed is that if you want to use the pool, they charge you an additional amount nearly equal the per night cost of the rental PER DAY to heat it. It’s NOT usable in this area of the country unless it’s heated. You do not get this information until the day before your booking when the host sends you information about accessing the property. It’s only after you have booked, paid and a day before your arrival that you find out, you now need to pay a fee nearly equal to the per night cost of rental A DAY for the pool to be usable. We attempted to resolve with host prior to arrival. NO RESPONSE to the actual issues. Currently filing a complaint with VRBO for the host violating VRBO guidelines on property description Hopefully the Host will do the right thing and refund, as we left 20 mins after we checked in. Do not rent here if you want a pool or hot tub.

Left In The Dark
The space and location are beautiful. Apparently there was supposed to be check-in info (wifi, etc) next to the thermostat but there was nothing there. We realized shortly after check in that none of the electrical in the front half of the house worked. Reached out thru VRBO app - no response. Reached out again. No response. Called the number. Someone named Ray (not the host) answered. He came down to look at the breaker panel. Could not fix it and could not get an electrician. He recommended we contact the host thru the app, which we did, and still got no response. Once it got dark at 530, half of the house was useless. We had made plans to cook dinner, but since it was pitch black, we decided to go out to eat. So, the weekend was a bust. No lights in half the house (including the exterior balconies). No power to the flat screen. All of that might have been okay had the host communication not been so pathetic. I finally heard from her before we checked out with a brief apology and the offer off 20% off, which is ridiculous. I responded that 50% off would be more appropriate but have not heard from her in over 24 hours and I don't expect to. I've contacted AmEx to get a proper refund. While this space is beautiful, the hosts communication is terrible and I would not recommend this rental.

The absolute perfect spot
We're already thinking about when we can get back to this property. In a heartbeat. My wife and 12-yr old daughter and I were looking for a 2-night escape from L.A., and have been missing Joshua Tree for too long, and The Box was available. It's everything everyone else has already said. Serene, ideally located, clean. The beds were comfy, the bathrooms and kitchen great, and the jacuzzi and pool made for a perfect cold plunge/hot tub routine. My wife has a chemical sensitivity, so when we first walked in, we were hit with the smell of the cleaning products and had to air it out a few hours. It was a rough night, but eventually normalized. I communicated with the host about this, and a couple other questions, and each time, she responded within an hour. Said she'd talk to the housekeepers about finding a non-toxic cleanser. A minor glitch in an otherwise perfect stay.
