This comfortable villa is perfect for extended families and large groups of friends looking for a fun-filled escape in the Californian sunshine. You’ll certainly want for nothing here – while away the hours topping up your tan in the private back garden before plunging into the pristine pool to cool off, or relax your muscles with a dip in the hot tub. Indoors, an open-plan island kitchen, equipped with marble countertops and turquoise breakfast bar stools, is ideal for whipping up a round of snacks and mojitos to enjoy around the outdoor firepit. A fully equipped games room will keep you thoroughly entertained, with poker, table tennis, foosball and pool tables included. 

The home is situated in a tranquil neighbourhood close to the glitzy city of La Quinta and the picturesque Coachella Valley. If you're a festival-goer or golf-lover, you'll be pleased to find it’s less than five miles from PGA West Golf Course, and the Empire Polo Club – home to the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals – is just two miles away. You can also drive to downtown La Quinta in around fifteen minutes, or head into Joshua Tree National Park for a hike.

Turquoise at Heart

If you love wine, this award-winning home is what dreams are made of. Located down an idyllic, oak tree-lined country road and nestled amongst the vines of a working vineyard in Sonoma, this place is utter bliss. You can see the beautiful vineyards even when sitting inside, from the large picture window in the living room. The vista is a sight to behold when the sun rises, flooding the modern lounge with light. The kitchen with its Viking gourmet range is perfect for entertaining, or you can grill dinner on the barbecue and enjoy a meal at the salvaged wood farm table. We love the raised garden beds full of seasonal vegetables and herbs – perfect for using in your cooking. With its multiple terraces and separate one bedroom casita, this home is just the ticket for a group of friends or multi-generational family wanting their own space. If you fancy venturing out, Downtown Sonoma is around a 5-minute drive away, but we really wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to step a foot away from this truly magical place. 

Amidst The Vines

This chic home is an excellent example of mid-century modern architecture, set just two blocks away from iconic Palm Canyon Drive. The effortlessly cool interiors give a nod to the past, with antique style patterned rugs, statement lighting and unique artworks on the walls. Outside, there's a glittering swimming pool, lined with bright white sun loungers and tangerine parasols, where you can take a dip with the dramatic backdrop of the San Jacinto Mountains. If you fancy getting active, take a hike up to the peaks, or hop on the aerial tramway to avoid breaking a sweat – either way, you'll be treated to jaw-dropping views over Coachella Valley. Come home for a sundowner on the terrace, before stretching out on the curved green sofas with a classic Hollywood movie.

Craving California

Desk / Workplace

Off-grid living is personified in this home. Nestled in the middle of Wonder Valley in Southern California, this home truly embraces its place in the desert. If you're looking to escape the hustle of everyday life or seeking some time to connect with the natural world, then you'll be glad to know peace and tranquility is exactly what you'll get here.

We love the outdoor lounge area, as well as the private granite geothermal hot springs tub. It’s a beautifully zen space for you to take in the surroundings and unwind to the sounds of nature. Make sure to stay out late on the porch at night and marvel at the incredible stargazing opportunities the clear desert skies offer. If you'd rather relax inside, then the cast iron clawfoot bathtub with mineral-rich waters is going to be your new best friend. 

If you do feel like leaving this haven to do some exploring, the town of Joshua Tree is only a thirty-minute drive away with a good selection of restaurants and shops. Twentynine Palms, while a bit smaller, is a fifteen-minute commute. For the adventurers, Joshua Tree National Park can also be reached in a fifteen-minute drive and offers ample hiking opportunities to see stunning boulder formations – an absolute must for breathtaking views.

The Palo Verde Oasis

This home, located down a dirt road in the wilderness, is a truly great hangout spot. The spacious living and dining rooms are just waiting to be filled with laughter and chatter as you catch up with family and friends. Alternatively, you might find yourself in the yoga studio, stretching away life's stresses, or reclining on one of the comfy loungers with a great book. But we think the crowning glory of this home is the pair of outdoor hot springs tubs, complete with epic views across the rugged landscape. With four cosy and comfortable bedrooms, everyone has their own space, and the minimalist, desert-inspired decor will make you feel right at home. The gates of Joshua Tree National Park are just a fifteen-minute drive away, where you join one of the walking trails and get close to nature. And, after an invigorating hike, this oasis is the perfect spot to come back to – mix your favourite cocktail and spend an evening gazing up at the stars. 

The Tamarisk Oasis

In the dramatic desert landscape of Araby Cove, this little rustic gem could almost be mistaken for part of the rocky hillside. But is that a chimney we spy? And aren’t those sun loungers? A round cottage, built from stone, it’s cosy and cute. Perched on a hilltop, the views from the yard and the huge picture-frame window at the heart of the living space are simply breathtaking. Inside, the stone walls and circular wooden ceiling ooze boho chic. The four-poster bed, tucked into one side, provides a luxurious sleeping nook and candles in the stone fireplace add a touch of romance. The cottage-style kitchen is compact but has everything you could need. Besides, there's a barbecue and dining area on the patio for meals under the desert stars. The area is said to be a ‘wind free zone’, with great hiking and mountain bike trails on the doorstep, and Palm Springs is just a short drive away.

Welcome Hamper

If nothing but the best is good enough for you and your loved ones, then Mojave Rhythm is the retreat you've been waiting for. Built with the ethos of desert luxury, this home will let you rest your eyes on its beautiful minimalist features while keeping you relaxed and entertained. The pool is refreshing, there are plenty of loungers to go around for everyone, and seats in the shade for your afternoon drinks. Catching up and socialising is easy with all the nooks around the house and a variety of activities to try, from ping pong to basketball, as well as your very own foosball table. Elsewhere, you're only a seven-minute drive from the entrance to the breathtaking National Park with its rugged rock formations and stark desert landscapes – don't forget your camera on this trip. Return from your hike and de-stress in the outdoor jacuzzi – this might become a daily habit, but so might the curling up by fire pit, where you can keep warm while watching the spectacular night sky in Joshua Tree. When you're ready to tuck in, slip under the sheets knowing that the only sounds you'll hear are the crickets nearby.

It's situated in the middle of California's wine country, making it easy to visit the nearby wineries to sample the local vintages. For those who prefer staying in and relaxing, there's plenty to do at home too. You'll find the sparkling private swimming pool surrounded by plenty of sun loungers, where you can splash around or catch some rays. There's also a barbecue area and a fire pit, ideal for keeping your guests cosy and well-fed after dark. Plus, there's plenty to explore in the sprawling grounds – including your own vineyard, fruit orchard, and even an equestrian centre. It's hard not to form lifelong memories when you're in such a special place – we think you'll love sharing your days in this idyllic slice of California with your family or friends. 

The Good King

Tucked away in the serene coastal community of Pedro Point, this modern cabin offers the perfect escape to the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Located just a nine-minute walk from Pacifica State Beach and a six-minute stroll from Shelter Cove Beach – you'll be blown away by the bay's beauty, making it a popular spot for photographers. It's also a favourite amongst surfers, so whether you like to be part of the action or watch it all from a safe distance, Pacifica State Beach caters to all. There is a range of surf shops and some great local eateries on your doorstep too. For those who want to see more than just the coast, San Francisco is less than a twenty-five-minute drive away. When you're done exploring all that the San Francisco Peninsula has to offer, head home and rustle up a cioppino in the modern kitchen. We love the balcony with its views over the neighbourhood – perfect for a sundowner. After a busy day, get a great night's sleep in the cosy bedroom before starting After a busy day, get a great night's sleep in the cosy bedroom before starting another adventure here.

Black Walnut Cove

Homes don't come much more in tune with nature than this one. Situated just below South Lake Tahoe, you'll feel truly immersed in the natural environment. From waking up to views of beautiful pine trees and the peaceful sounds of birds chirping to feeling like you're staying in a luxurious treehouse fortress no matter what room you're in.

Located in the quiet area of Meyers, just outside of Echo Lake, in the summer months you’ll be spoilt for choice with hiking trails and swimming opportunities in the lakes (Echo Lake is a sixteen-minute drive, while Lake Tahoe is twenty-four minutes away). In winter, you can make the most of backcountry skiing and snowboarding before retiring home to heat up in front of the roaring fire with a hot chocolate. Guests lucky enough to occupy the master bedroom can even treat themselves to a relaxing soak in the jetted tub!

Whether you're a group of friends looking to reconnect, or a family ready for an adventure-filled trip, this lodge offers ample possibilities for amazing memories.
