This home, crowned by a backdrop of mountains, is ideal for group getaways to La Quinta. Surrounded by the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, the famous Coachella Valley, and the iconic Joshua Tree, it's a gateway to hiking trails and golf courses. And as if in reply to the landscape, the interior focuses on muted, natural colours with quirky elements adding interest. Outside is where the magic happens, surrounded by panoramic views, a private swimming pool, grill, shaded table, basketball hoop and a play area for the little ones. We also love the additional casita with a kitchenette where a grandparent or moody teen can find a little more privacy.

About La Quinta
This resort city nestled against the Santa Rosa Mountains knew exactly what it was doing when it developed its charming downtown area. With stark white two-storey shops, cobbled sidewalks, and bougainvillea-lined patio dining, you will have no problem relaxing into desert life here. La Quinta offers all the amenities of an upscale California desert town mixed with a love for the arts. Your inner art collector will appreciate the abundance...
