My friends and I enjoyed the pool and relaxing on the deck watching beautiful sunsets. Highly recommend! ##### Ryan K. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### DIANE C. Jun 25, 2025 #### Beautiful house for stay with large family Our stay at Whispering Oaks was wonderful! Everything was exactly as described and better. When I did have a question, Amie was very quick and helpful. The house is very kid friendly, with the upstairs playroom being a big hit! So many toys for little ones and a huge tv with a comfy couch for the bigger ones. The living room is just gorgeous with the high ceilings and plenty of seating for all. The backyard and pool area was awesome and with that view in the background, it made it even better. All in all, we all loved it and had a great time! ##### DIANE C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16130.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-I.h661796.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntington-Beach-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Huntington-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h890502.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h23876.Hotel-Information) > > [Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Miramonte-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16768.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Embarc-Palm-Desert.h328421.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Mission Hills Resort & Villas for COACHELLA 2020 (1st weekend)](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Cochella-Stay-At-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Resort-Villas.h34078793.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Anaheim, CA](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Anaheim.h14910044.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Indian Wells](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Renaissance-Esmeralda-Resort-Spa.h12274.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Paradise-Point-Resort-Spa.h3731.Hotel-Information) > > [Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Agua-Caliente-Resort-Casino-Spa-Rancho-Mirage.h2020169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Half-Moon-Bay-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h602927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Golf-Resort-Spa.h4124.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Orange County](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Orange-County.h15965.Hotel-Information) > > [San Diego Mission Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-San-Diego-Mission-Bay-Resort.h25598.Hotel-Information) > > [Ace Hotel and Swim Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-And-Swim-Club.h22864.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn By Marriott Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Palm-Desert.h201084.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Mission-Bay-Spa-And-Marina.h858.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Oasis-Resort.h1180912.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Anaheim Garden Grove](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Garden-Grove.h519819.Hotel-Information) > > [Solage, Auberge Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Calistoga-Hotels-Solage.h1640078.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas II](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-II.h57218.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Anaheim South](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Anaheim-South.h662857.Hotel-Information)
