"La Casita" is a quaint mini hacienda with a comfortable big family room. Great place for a relaxed get-away. The palm trees, bugambilias and cactus plants will transport you. Perfect place to relax and enjoy family and friends. There is only one bedroom. However, there are 3 comfy couches and 2 air-mattress available. Coffee Lover's Needs: Expresso Maker, Cold Brew Maker and French Press, a Keurig and a drip coffee machine! Kitchen: equipped with basics including a brita-water pitcher La Casita is in Desert Hot Springs (close, but NOT Palm Springs). Palm Springs is 10-15 miles away, depending to what part of town you are going. Foosball table, Poker Table top & Board games available for entertainment. Grill in the backyard - available for you to use. Parties and events are not allowed. La Casita is perfect for two people. Its good for 4 if you do not mind the air-mattress. Kids usually think its fun! The air mattress are easy to pump- and there is space to put them in the family room. Only saying this to give you a realistic expectation. La casita can accommodate 6 if you really do not mind sharing one bathroom with a lot of people and if some of you do not mind sleeping in a couch or inflatable mattress. However, please know 6 is not the ideal. I only allow 6 to be flexible. At La Casita you can feel at home while traveling for work! Extra Phone charger available Desk with basic office supplies available Sturdy wood hangers, Iron and Ironing board can be found inside the bedroom armoire. Toiletries included: Shampoo and Conditioner for showers, hand-soap, Roll of toilet paper and extra one underneath the sink to help guests out until they have time to make it to the store to buy whatever supplies they like/want/need to use during their stay. SUPER IMPORTANT: La Casita NOW HAS an in-ground salt-water pool and hot tub. Its private and we have a privacy fence all-around! The pool has a cascade of water from 9am to 5pm that flows from the hot-tub to the pool. Keep in mind the entire pool is not heated. Pool has nightlights for late night fun swims. SUPER IMPORTANT: Keep the small gate (between pool and house ) close and also the main gate that goes to the outside. No need to lock it, but it is important to keep it close. Please reference the pool & hot-tub rules in the house and also in this listing. Because this is a residence and not a hotel/resort and too keep the nightly price lower than others, the hot-tub is not on all day... All you need to do is let us know 1 to 3 hours before the time you are getting ready to go into the hot-tub - for us to remotely turn it on for you. Do NOT touch any of the pool equipment. We will take care of things for you. Keep in mind it takes about 1 hour to heat-up (sometimes less, depending on the weather - but only here mentioning to give you a realistic picture), and it will stay on for 2 hours for your enjoyment. We can turn it on for you two times per day.... when you are ready to go in for your 15 min hot tub session (mentioning here for safety reasons to emphasize that long periods in the hot-tub is not healthy). Please note the pool/hot-tub is for the registered guests use only and no parties are allowed without prior approval. Note: to keep the nightly price lower than others, we opted to limit the hot-tub to 4 hours per day. However, If you wish to use the hot-tub longer we can accommodate for an extra fee: $50 for every 2 hours. Please reference pool & hot tub rules. The pool equipment is all pre-programmed. To avoid equipment damaged, guests are not permitted to touch any valves, buttons or switches related to the pool/hot-tub. The pool is maintained twice per week by a 3rd party company to keep it in the best condition and clean for our guests. The experience is lovely! And I know you will for certain enjoy it. I love to host, I aim to please and I do my best to keep good communication to aid you in whichever way you need help/support. Please reach out.... my goal is for you to have a lovely, stress-free, relaxing stay. IMPORTANT: The location is Desert Hot Springs and NOT Palm Springs. The location is not suitable for not having a car. Its NOT in the middle of bars, restaurants and the hustle and bustle of things. (Again I only say this to give you a realistic expectation).

However there are no dogs in the property. The house is checked before your arrival to insure all is perfect and good. From time to time due to the high winds there may be debri, leaves or flowers that fly into the pool. This is not because it is dirty. Its the results of the high winds of Desert Hot Springs.

And the pool man comes to clean the pool (including vacum) twice per week. We take pride in cleanliness. :) Please remember this is a home, not a hotel. Please treat the space with respect.
