This La Quinta hideaway ticks all the boxes, as far as we're concerned. The backyard is an absolute haven – while away afternoons in the sparkling pool, fire up the built-in barbecue for an alfresco dinner and nibble on the fresh fruit from the citrus tree. There's also a bubbling hot tub – perfect for those chilly evenings as the sun goes down – and, of course, the views of the San Jacinto Mountains don't disappoint. Inside, the design is the epitome of Cali-casual style – think mid-century furniture, boho accents and breezy, light-filled living spaces. Home chefs can easily prepare meals in the well-stocked kitchen, while a cosy living area and four bedrooms (one of which is a private-entry casita) means everyone will have plenty of space and privacy. No detail has been overlooked – there are white noise machines and charging ports in each bedroom, a walk-in closet and soaker bathtub in the master suite as well as kid-friendly items like plug socket covers and children's dinnerware that parents will appreciate. Location-wise, this home is in the sought-after Desert Club Estates, just a ten-minute walk from Old Town's restaurants, bars and shops. You're surrounded by some world-class golfing... and hiking, but if you're in the mood for a day trip, Joshua Tree National Park is a forty-five-minute drive.

Home truths
The fourth bedroom and ensuite bathroom is in a separate casita with its own private entry – it's a good option for those who want a little extra privacy
This is an incredibly child-friendly home – the hosts can provide a travel cot, high chair, baby bath insert, outlet covers, high chair and children's dinnerware on request
We think a car is essential here, even though you are walking distance to shops and restaurants – there's parking in the garage as well as on the driveway
La Quinta is pretty strict about noise – playing outdoor music is banned no matter what time of day, and the neighbourhood has quiet hours after 10pm
For a daily fee, the pool can be pre-heated on request
