8 Steps to Resort! 92 All 5* Reviews/Remodel 2 Masters/2 Patios/31 Day Min.

ALL REVIEWS 5*! Everything you could possibly want is available at this fully equipped Home Away from Home. Initially rented exclusively through La Quinta Resort Leasing, this home has all premium upgrades the Resort requires. This very special 2 Master Bedroom floor plan with great separation of bedrooms offers everything needed for the perfect getaway.


Enter through your front gate, which faces the Resort, and walk through your lushly appointed walkway, romantically lit with solar lights in the evening. Pick juicy grapefruits and lemons
from your own trees. Enjoy a game of backgammon on your Bistro Table, relax with friends in your sitting area and enjoy the bubbling fountain: music to your ears! Relax out here, especially on evenings during the Season, and privately enjoy live outdoor music from the Resort. Listen to Alexa inside or out! Set up music to the Bluetooth spreaker.

The remodeled, fully stocked kitchen is light and bright thanks to the new solar light with solar night light, (there are 5 throughout the home) and a kitchen door that opens to your lush front entertaining patio. The kitchen has all new appliances, Keurig coffee maker, milk frother, 4 slice toaster, electric wine opener, Vitamix and so much more! Entertain in style: the Dining Room table seats 8 with an extra leaf in the guest closet and extra chairs at the desk in each bedroom. Full charging station with plugs for phones, iPads etc.

The Living Room has two recliner chairs (each reclines two
positions!) and genuine leather couch, (both sides recline), to enjoy your favorite movie or show on your large, wall-mounted flatscreen TV. Cable, Wifi, Internet, Sports channels, DVD player, and Universal Remote and Sound Bar included. The center console holds all types of books, games, cards, and coloring books, and the coffee table will always have many choices of current magazines. Create a romantic setting with the many candles provided, the cozy fireplace, a large assortment of pillows, even a picnic basket - wine glasses included!

Open your sliding glass door to your own patio with lovely mountain views, divided on both sides from neighboring homes. Enjoy meals cooked on your new gas grill and curl up with a good book or magazine on one of the new pillowed loungers.

The Master Bedroom Suite is complete with a wall-mounted flatscreen TV, stocked end tables with drawers, iHome charger alarm clock radios, down pillows, vibrating back rest, large dresser, and an assortment of suitcase holders. Make yourself at home with plush robes (cool summer and warm winter) for your lounging pleasure. There is also a desk and chair in case there's work to be done - but we hope you're just writing postcards with "Wish you were here!!" The remodeled Master Bath has limestone countertops, new faucets and sinks, newly painted cabinets and hardware, a second oversized closet, a glass-surrounded soaking tub, and dual headed shower with hand held attachment. A basket of bathroom goodies will be provided in both bathrooms. The linen closet in the Master suite contains extra pillows, towels, sheets, softy blankets, a heating pad, chaise lounge cover, neck massager, electric rollers and - our in-home spa favorite! - a paraffin tub, with wax and gloves!

The second remodeled Master Suite has the same upgraded features as well as a gorgeous view of the front patio. Open your windows and let the fountain lull you to sleep. All windows
are screened, and both the front and kitchen doors have disappearing screen doors.

The laundry room is located between the two bedrooms.
Laundry soap, fabric softener, stain removers, Oxyclean, (including WineOut, our personal life-saver!), dryer sheets, and extra towels are provided. There is a new iron, ironing board, and a steamer. There are extra light bulbs and cleaning supplies stocked. The linen cupboard in the hallway includes beach towels, extra towels, lounge chair towel holders, visors, 😎 sunglasses and more games.

The garage has four (4) bikes with locks, two with baskets, pool toys, floats, lawn games, tennis rackets and balls, golf clubs and balls as well as extra cooking utensils, crockpot, turkey cooker, electric skillet, griddle, Vitamix etc. This is YOUR HOMEAWAY FROM HOME!!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned condo, which features a fireplace and a private pool. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected.

Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Mother’s Day long weekend

This condo was a perfect place for my family for a long weekend. Wish we could have stayed longer. Felt like home and had a lot of conveniences including drinks and condiments in the fridge so we didn’t have to rush out to buy groceries. Quick walk over to the resort where rest of our family was staying. Definitely plan to stay there again!!!!

A Must for Your Stay in La Quinta

A huge thank you to Kathleen for sharing her beautiful home with us! What a wonderful and peaceful environment with easy access to restaurants, shopping, golf and so much more at your fingertips.

A wonderful place to stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. It was spotlessly clean and I have never stayed anywhere that had everything you could need! The location was fantastic and the townhouse was perfect for four adults. Communication with Katie was fantastic and it’s clear that she really wants to make sure anyone who stays in your property has a wonderful holiday. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Best Hospitality

If you need it, this place has it! It was clean, roomy and an overall beautiful casita for our family of 4. We stayed a week from WA state and having a pool just steps away was so convenient and accessible. And talk about the best host! We arrived Easter Sunday to 2 wonderful baskets each with my girls' names. They were full of candy, toys and fun stuff. And not to mention the 2 bottles of wine for mom and dad and fridge stocked with breakfast foods and drinks. This was the best rental by far and a superb location. It was also steps away from main resort entry for fun people watching and snacks/drinks. Thank you so much again Hawkes!

Second time, same perfection!

This was my second time at this property, and I didn't think my expectations could be surpassed, since I already knew how wonderful it was, and yet they were! This property -- and the owner's attention to detail to ensure our stay was optimal -- have basically ruined me for all other rentals. It is perfection. To say it is "well appointed" is such an understatement. There is nothing -- NOTHING -- you could wish for that isn't there. I keep discovering new things in Katie's vacation home that I want in my REGULAR home. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? :-) As others have stated, whether it's the dream kitchen, outdoor furnishings, bikes or perfect location, this property is simply the best. My only hesitancy in writing this review is that I know it will make it harder for me to rent again, because it will be booked! But Katie deserves it for all of the time and effort she puts into making sure her guests are happy and enjoy their stay in beautiful La Quinta. Thx, Katie!

A wonderful vacation

Katie was a superb host! She emailed us all the information we needed a few days prior and the house was ready for our arrival. Seriously, 9 days was not long enough. A few steps away from this house: LQ resort shops and restaurants, tennis courts, pool, bike and walking paths, etc. Also included were bikes...we hardly drove anywhere...we just used the bikes! They were in perfect shape and more comfortable than my bike at home. The kitchen had everything we needed! Even though it was perfect BBQ weather, we didn't use the BBQ but it is ready and on the deck! The courtyard is pretty! I hope to rent again from Katie. Thank you Katie and Family.

Stop looking, you won't find anything better!

I've stayed in many vacation rentals, but Katie and Rick's place is by far the best. Clean, spacious, excellent location, the most comfortable beds, fluffy robes. Katie provides everything you could possibly need and more. Katie responds quickly and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. We were closer to La Quinta Resort than if we'd stayed at the Resort! This is the only place I will stay in La Quinta from now on. I can't wait to come back. An oasis in the desert for sure!

Best VRBO (or any rental property) we have ever stayed in!

We have vacationed all over the world, and stayed in countless hotels, resorts, and rental properties. Kathleen’s beautiful home is by far the most well appointed home we have ever had the pleasure of visiting. From the gorgeous furniture (indoor and out) to the comfortable beds, to the overly stocked kitchen, laundry room, and bathrooms, you name it. We lacked for absolutely nothing! Even a clean and comfortable rollaway bed, endless pool and sports equipment, bikes, books, and board games all neatly arranged in the garage for our use! This is an amazing home, and I really can’t recommend it highly enough. Kathleen took care of our every need, even FaceTiming with me one morning to walk me through the Keurig coffee maker (I don’t own one!). Front and back patios are gorgeous for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening, and the pool is right across a grassy walkway which is so convenient. The resort is literally a two minute walk, making the location just perfect. Thank you, Kathleen, for the unforgettable trip. We will be back!

Beautiful Oasis

My husband and I brought our 3 teenage daughters and 10 yr old son for a weekend away. We all had such a great time! I have never found such gracious hospitable owners. They were fantastic! Our kids loved riding the bikes they provided, playing tennis, swimming, hot tubbing and much more! The grounds are beautifully taken care of and our 10 year old loved playing catch on the grass. It was just the most relaxing weekend.

Perfect in every way!

We have gone to La Quinta for New Years several years in a row, but this was our first time staying in a condo and not in a hotel and we will certainly never go back to the hotel! Wonderful condo, laid out perfectly, with literally every amenity you can imagine. We travel quite a bit, and I'm also an airbnb host, and I have never stayed in a place as well organized for guests as this one was. Literally every drawer was filled with exactly what should be there -- and is labeled with directions and explanation. And the location is just perfect. Plus the bikes tires were pumped, there was snacks and staples in the fridge and even New Year's hats! Seriously I felt like I was robbing someone because it shouldn't be cheaper to stay in a two bedroom condo with a full kitchen and two baths than in a small hotel room 20 yards away. Thank you thank you thank you Kathleen for making traveling during covid as wonderful as it could possibly be. You set the bar for all future travels very high and I hope to be able to stay again soon!

Simply the Best!

We decided last minute to visit the Palm Springs area and lucked out when Katie and Rick had a cancellation over Christmas. What a gem...it is steps away from the pool and resort, which was beautifully decorated for Christmas . Takeout drinks/ food were available from resort restaurants and there was enough outdoor seating on the gorgeous grounds to feel safe during COVID-19 restrictions. When we stepped into the villa, we were greeted with Christmas music on Alexa, Christmas stockings for my husband, me and our pup, and beautifully wrapped gifts for each of us under a tiny Christmas tree! We expected to have to make a trip to the grocery store but discovered everything we could possibly need for breakfast the next morning. The villa is spotless, and the kitchen is stocked with everything imaginable. Katie has used top quality linens, and the villa is spotless. So much attention to detail, even down to current magazines. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and look forward to another visit!
