We all had such a lovely time! The house was not only beautiful, but well stocked! We spent most of our time (when we weren’t at the tennis tournament) outside by the pool. That yard was something else! When I had questions, Scott was so helpful. Kudos to Shana(?) for her assistance. Thank you for providing us with an exceptional experience!
We had a great week here- the house is very well equipped, the pool and spa and yard are beautiful, the information from the owner was perfect, everything was great! Our family of 4 adults and 2 kids fit perfectly. We did not use the casita but probably would have, had it had a king sized bed. The neighborhood was quiet, but lots of stores were very close by. We will definitely book Desert Rock again if we return to the area!
Host was very friendly and always super prompt to reply to any question I had. The house was beautiful and extremely clean. The host thought of everything to make a renter’s stay beyond amazing. From the smart app to control the jacuzzi to the ice maker to the Nespresso machine to the Karaoke microphones to the ample amounts of towels I feel like I didn’t stay long enough to have an opportunity to discover everything that was there. The bottle of wine and gift card made us feel appreciated. What a lovely touch.
The house is very spacious and modern... in an excellent location in La Quinta and within a short drive to Palm Desert and Palm Springs. Scott was incredibly responsive and helpful anytime we reached out to him. Highly recommend!
This was a fully appointed, well maintained home both inside and out with nicely furnished pool area and landscaped private yard. Very easy to use keypad entry, well thought out guide to using the property, multiple thoughtful check ins from host, and like new kitchen and laundry appliances. Location was great with easy access to major streets and minimal neighborhood traffic so nice for daily walks. We would definitely rent again; something we have never said of more than a dozen different VRBOs and EVOLVEs we have rented. To make this an absolutely perfect rental, it could use a few more towels (only 6 provided) and coffee cups (only 5 provided) and the master bathroom fan could be repaired/replaced as it was very noisy. Also, consider updating the second bathroom shower doors. We enjoyed our stay at Desert Rock Oasis immensely and the host/ owner should be congratulated for this wonderful well run rental.
The host has thought of everything! We were only here for two nights, but could have come for a week and had a great time. Truly a home away from home.
This is a lovely home that is just as the pictures show. Clean, great kitchen well stocked with coffee and teas, and condiments. Plenty of towels and the beds were comfortable too. The host checked in to make sure everything was okay. Would definitely stay again and refer it to friends and family
So great! Well organized, very clean and stocked with every gizmo you need. Nesprsso machine. The best!Great pool and landscaped yard really made you feel like a vacation should.
We had a wonderful stay at Desert Rock Oasis. The house was clean and the pool was very nice! The check in process was very easy. Would definitely recommend!
Home was very clean and had every device you could ever need. We spent hours around the pool - enjoying the hot tub and lounge chairs. A perfect getaway.

Why they chose this property
I bought this beautiful desert property in December 2015 to have a private retreat to escape to – especially from the foggy and cool climate of my home in San Francisco. Given that I live in a very urban, crowded location, I was looking for a super private location that I could enjoy with friends and family. From the first moment that my realtor showed me Desert Rock Oasis I knew it met all my requirements.
What makes this property unique
* Extremely private, safe, and quiet property with its own private gate and fence * Spacious backyard with a large pool and mountain views, space to get the vitamin D sunshine we lack with the fog, and a tropical feeling of lush gardens with palm and fruit trees * Contemporary and spacious interior with modern amenities able to comfortably host at least 8 people * Separate, detached (but close enough) guest house for those friends and family you want to give extra space * Located in a quiet, cul de sac, family friendly neighborhood * Far enough from the urban hustle and bustle but super close to a wide range of local boutique and chain restaurants and stores (living in San Francisco means chain restaurants are a treat, believe it or not!) * Close to all the great golf and tennis facilities around the area as well as the many local festivals throughout the year
