About this property
DESERT SOLSTICE | Pool & Spa · Pickleball
Summary:
Welcome to Desert Solstice, a private one-acre Joshua Tree retreat where active days and quiet desert moments are designed to live side by side. Start the morning on the meditation deck, spend the afternoon between the pool, pickleball court, mini golf, and bocce, then slow things down as the Joshua Trees and desert sky take over the evening. Built in 2023, the home gives groups four king bedrooms, generous indoor gathering spaces, and a resort-style backyard.
The Space:

THE SPACE
Desert Solstice is designed to give a group plenty to do while still preserving the calm and privacy people come to Joshua Tree for. All four bedrooms feature king-size beds. The primary bedroom and two additional junior primary bedrooms each have their own en-suite bathroom, while a fourth full bathroom serves the remaining bedroom and common areas. Two queen sofa beds provide additional sleeping space for groups of up to 12. The spacious kitchen, open living area, and dining space make it easy to gather indoors, but the one-acre setting keeps the desert present throughout the stay. Large Joshua Trees surround the property, giving the home a sense of privacy even while local restaurants, shops, and the national park remain close by.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
• Primary Bedroom — King bed + en-suite bathroom
• Bedroom 2 — King bed + en-suite bathroom
• Bedroom 3 — King bed + en-suite bathroom
• Bedroom 4 — King bed

OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE
The outdoor spaces at Desert Solstice let the day move between energy and stillness without leaving the property. Play pickleball, mini golf, or bocce with your group, cool off in the private pool, or settle into the spa when you are ready to slow down. The meditation deck offers a quieter place for stretching, coffee, or simply taking in the surrounding Joshua Trees. With an acre of space around the home, the backyard feels less like a collection of amenities and more like your own small desert resort.

The house is amazing!!!!! Wonderful stay with kids and grandkids. Spent the day in Joshua tree then only a 5 minute drive to the house. The house was clean and the amenities were fabulous. We enjoyed a full day at the house in the pool, jacuzzi, playing bocci, and pickle ball. Relaxing and fun. Luis communicated immediately with any questions prior to our stay. I was surprised though that we had to pay an additional fee to heat the pool. But well worth it since the grandkids spent the whole day in it. Pricy but a wonderful stay without any issues. Thanks!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear you and your family had such a great time together and enjoyed both Joshua Tree and all the amenities at the property.

The place was beyond amazing from the moment we drove down the road and saw it. It was immaculately clean and everything you could have needed and wanted was easily located. Linens and bedding was clean and 5 star quality. Communication was immediate for any questions and everything was simple to use. The perfect get away location in Joshua Tree. We never wanted to leave the property.

Was a great house for a 50th birthday party with a group of friends
The house was clean and had a great pool and hot tub. We had a chef one night and sat by the fire pit catching up. Was a fun place to celebrate our friends 50th birthday. During the day we went rock climbing in Joshua tree. I'd recommend making sure you have your own car as Uber's are tough to get.

It sounds like they made the most of both the house and the Joshua Tree area. We’d be happy to welcome them back anytime.
This home is absolutely beautiful. Modern and spacious. We had some teenagers in our group and they had a blast in the game /billiard room. The setting was beautiful overlooking the desert valley. The home is situated just minutes away from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park and made for a convenient day trip. Would highly recommend this home.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Overall the house is very nice. Outside area has multiple recreational activities. Kitchen is limited. Weakest feature of the house. Stovetop difficult to use. Most of the pots/skillets were unusable—corroded/unhealthy. Clumps of dust/dirt falling from the cold air return. Poor communication with the host. Price kept changing. Unclear what the Vrbo fee was. At one point, host claimed he was not associated with Vrbo. Very different booking experience from our other Vrbo reservations.

Rock and his group were respectful guests. We appreciate them taking the time to share such detailed feedback, as it helps us understand where we can improve.
We’re glad they enjoyed the outdoor areas, and we regret that some parts of the stay fell short of what they were expecting. We’ll be reviewing the concerns mentioned with our team and working on those areas moving forward.
Thank you again for staying with us.
