We quickly accommodated ourselves to the beautiful property and fantastic views with a refreshing dip in the infinity pool. What a great time! Reasonable driving distance to beaches, Wild Animal Park, and Sea World. In fact it was only an hour drive to Thousand Steps in Laguna Beach (which I highly recommend). When we weren't enjoying activities kids and adults both enjoyed the beautiful pool and relaxing spa. This property will be at the top our list to book the next time we visit. ##### Jeff J.

Lots of space for a family for 4\. Every amenity you could think of. If you enjoy cooking, you are in heaven in a beautiful kitchen. The pool was very much enjoyed by all of us, but especially my kids. The spa was great to soak in at night after a long day out visiting the sites of San Diego. The best thing were the little extra touches that I've never seen in any other VRBO rental - the bottles of wine, the pizza, the full pantry. We especially enjoyed having the small orange orchard on the property and had fresh orange juice daily. If we're ever in this area again, we'll definitely rent this house in a heartbeat. ##### Iris Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Two Bunch Palms Spa Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Two-Bunch-Palms-Spa-Resort-Adults-Only.h1338988.Hotel-Information) > - [Miracle Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Miracle-Springs-Resort-Spa.h22765.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) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Golf Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Golf-Resort-Palm-Springs.h351.Hotel-Information) > - [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-I.h661796.Hotel-Information) > - [Fantasy Springs Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Fantasy-Springs-Resort-Casino.h1138282.Hotel-Information) > - [SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-SeaCrest-OceanFront-Hotel.h1365352.Hotel-Information) > - [Azure Palm Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Azure-Palm-Hot-Springs.h64615882.Hotel-Information) > - [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > - [Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Indian Wells](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Renaissance-Esmeralda-Resort-Spa.h12274.Hotel-Information) > - [V Capri Palm Springs, a Dolce by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-V-Capri-Palm-Springs.h13065796.Hotel-Information) > - [Glenbrook Lodge - Private Creekside Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Clear-Lake-Hotels-Glenbrook-Lodge-Private-Creekside-Estate.h41530770.Hotel-Information) > - [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > - [The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton-Bacara.h523758.Hotel-Information) > - [Residence Inn By Marriott Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Palm-Desert.h201084.Hotel-Information) > - [Desert Breezes Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Desert-Breezes-Resort.h18709.Hotel-Information) > - [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > - [The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h23876.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > - [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas II](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-II.h57218.Hotel-Information) > - [Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Miramonte-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16768.Hotel-Information) > - [Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Agua-Caliente-Resort-Casino-Spa-Rancho-Mirage.h2020169.Hotel-Information) > - [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > - [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > - [Indian Wells Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Indian-Wells-Resort-Hotel.h14026.Hotel-Information) > - [The Sandman Santa Rosa Sonoma, an Ascend Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Rosa-Hotels-The-Sandman.h919721.Hotel-Information) > - [Sea Mountain Inn Nude Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Sea-Mountain-Inn-Nude-Resort-Adults-Only.h27490625.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Embarc-Palm-Desert.h328421.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)
