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.
