We want you to feel confident when renting a TRAVLR Vacation Home. As a result, we have enhanced some of our cleaning procedures in the interest of our Guests' and Employees' health and safety. Currently, we spend between 4-16 working hours to clean each rental property after every reservation and have enhanced our check-out cleaning procedures to pay close attention to all details, specifically disinfecting all surfaces with anti-bacterial solutions. We frequently change all HVAC filters and clean pools twice weekly to help ensure optimal cleanliness as well. Our vendors and staff are equipped with protective gear such as face masks and gloves to maintain the safety of all parties. Close by is the famous El Paseo and Old Town La Quinta areas with excellent dining and shopping options. If you are looking to play golf, we are minutes from PGA West with three public courses to choose from; The TPC Stadium, The Greg Norman and The Jack Nicklaus Tournament. Enjoy some of the many world-class events like the Humana Challenge (previously the Bob Hope Classic). Or if you enjoy tennis, minutes away is the home of the BNP Paribas Open Tennis Classic at Indian Wells Top Rated Tennis Stadium, held early to mid-March, with over 300 of the top-rated tennis players in the world. In April comes the Coachella and Stagecoach Music Festivals just minutes down the road hosted at the famous Polo Grounds where you can also enjoy top-ranked polo matches free of charge and have a tailgate picnic with your friends at the same time! LOCATION Walking distance to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, minutes from the Empire Polo Fields for all the equestrian activities and Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals; 5-10 minutes from the La Quinta Resort, PGA West, Old Town La Quinta, and El Paseo. Less than 10 minutes from I-10, you can quickly head to Palm Springs, nearby casinos and other Coachella Valley destinations. ESTIMATED DISTANCES FROM THE VACATION HOME \- Indian Wells Tennis Garden: 10-minutes \- Empire Polo Fields: 20-minutes \- Old Town La Quinta: 10-minutes \- Palm Desert/El Paseo: 5-minutes \- Downtown Palm Springs/Airport: 20-30 minutes \- LA/OC/SD: Roughly 2 hours without traffic \- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - WHAT TIME IS CHECK-IN AND CHECK OUT? Check in is after 3PM local time, and check out is no later than 11AM. Early check in and late check out may be available for your reservation upon request. Please reach out for the cost and availability. WILL I NEED TO MEET THE PROPERTY MANAGER TO GET A KEY? All TRAVLR Vacation Homes have keyless locks. This keyless system allows entry into the vacation rental through the issue of a “code” rather than a physical key. The code changes for every reservation so it is an incredibly safe alternative. By issuing the code prior to arrival, the check-in process is much easier. DO YOU PROVIDE DAILY CLEANING SERVICE? TRAVLR Vacation Homes provides a departure clean on all stays. A mid-week or mid-stay clean can be provided for an additional fee. CAN WE HAVE THE POOL HEATED? Your reservation "resort fee" includes the cost of pool heat (up to 80-82 degrees). This fee is not included on Airbnb bookings. WHAT IS PROVIDED WITH MY ACCOMMODATIONS? All of our vacation rentals are furnished and have a kitchen with amenities including a microwave, coffee maker, toaster and blender. Each property is stocked with cooking and serving items including plates, bowls and utensils, as well as a can opener, corkscrew measuring spoons and more. The coffee maker takes ground coffee and we also offer a spice rack, salt and pepper. There are bath towels, pool towels and bed linens. We also provide an initial supply of trash liners, toilet paper, hand soap and dishwasher soap. Bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner and liquid body wash. Laundry facilities are also equipped with laundry soap and dryer sheets. CAN I SHIP A PACKAGE TO MY VACATION HOME? We do not recommend shipping directly to the home, we do not have mailbox keys, and there are many different people with access to the home: vendors, housekeeping, Guest Services staff, etc... so we cannot be responsible for packages once delivered. DO YOUR HOMES HAVE OUTDOOR MUSIC SYSTEMS? Yes! The entire property both inside and out is filled with speakers that are setup in different zones so you can enjoy it wherever you are and even have different music playing in different areas. To use, simply download the Sonos app and connect to our Wi-Fi system. You can then control your music from Spotify, Apple Music and more. Due to city regulations though, the outdoor music speakers will not work between the hours of 9PM and 8AM (the indoor ones will though). Please note that bringing your own outdoor speakers is strictly forbidden unless pre-approved by management and could result in a $5000 fine from the city of Palm Desert. DO YOU ALLOW PETS? Our vacation rentals are pet friendly. We allow for up to two pets per property for a fee of $150 per pet.

Oct 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a group of our kids, their spouses and all our grandkids. This is an annual event for us and out of all the other beautiful homes we’ve stayed in this one got 2 thumbs up from everyone! The bedrooms/bathrooms were nicely decorated, the kitchen was well equipped and spacious. The backyard was absolutely amazing!! The pool was just as beautiful as advertised. The kids loved the slide and the adults loved the spa. We spent one evening in the play room having fun with all the table games, and we even played pickle ball. We will be looking into this same property next year! ##### Cindy M.

We had 8 couples in our group so the house was perfect for all of us. We never felt cramped or two close. Pool is famous and the game room was awesome. We all never wanted to leave and would love to come back for our annual getaway weekend." ##### sarah f.

Dec 7, 2023 #### 5-Stars We booked Casa Mara for a group trip and it was fantastic. 9 couples stayed with at the house and there was plenty of room and privacy. The grounds made us feel like we were at our own private resort and the property manager was quick to respond to any questions that we had. The layout was perfect for a group trip (lots of hangout areas, but also plenty of space). Many special memories were created around the fire, in the game room, and in the hot tub. Everything was clean and thought of. We will be back!! ##### Anna K. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen C. Jan 16, 2024 #### A Truly Spectacular Experience! We had 18 adults and 2 children here for my mother's 90th birthday. It was absolutely spectacular! The teens immediately took over each "play area" - game room, basketball court, lazy river, putting green, while the adults enjoyed the firepit with a nightly glass of wine. It was the perfect place for all of us to be together while enjoying so many different things to do. Great location to visit Joshua Tree and downtown Palm Springs when we weren't enjoying the house. Loved working with TRAVLR as well - they answered all my questions very quickly and the recommendations for restaurants and private chef were great. I was still hearing rave reviews from my family a full week after leaving! ##### Karen C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha M.

The house was beautifully decorated inside, amazing bathrooms, top appliances and stocked with all our needs. The backyard was where we spent the majority of our time though and it was wonderful! Hammock, outdoor grill, pool slide, hot tub, volleyball, fireside s’mores…the options were endless! The casita and gym + game room were fantastic as well- I only wish we had more time to enjoy everything! Jen was a great communicator and followed up in a timely manner to any questions or requests, both in getting settled into the house and throughout our stay. Would absolutely book again and recommend to any group looking for a backyard dream! ##### Samantha M.

Not only was the property incredible, the property management was equally as amazing. We didn't have any issues while we stayed, but they made sure we knew they were available and went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome from the second we walked in the door. I very much much appreciate (and honestly expect) this level of service for a high end rental. -This getaway was for a business retreat, but I'll be back with my family. ##### Shelley C.
