Family-friendly vacation rentals in Desert Hot Springs

We absolutely loved staying in this beautiful home. Quiet and serene and very close to downtown Palm Springs and all the other activities. Definitely loved working with Nana, and would rent with her again.

We cannot say thank you enough for this peaceful oasis. The entire home is infused with care and thoughtfulness. We immediately felt at home. It’s even more beautiful than the pictures can show. You get a safe, lovely space to really experience being immersed in desert life. Josh and Don were the perfect hosts. Very quick to respond and help us out, but never intrusive. I filled up a whole page in the guest book with all the wonderful core memories my family built in this special place. There is an entrance to the park 10 minutes away, which allowed us to easily hike, nature, walk, picnic everyday. We will definitely be returning to this house to experience Joshua tree in different seasons. Thank you again! The Sowells

We had an incredible month at Morgan’s house in La Quinta cover. Surrounded by the mountains but completely private with the perfectly manicured landscaping. The yard is a dream! Huge lawn with a gorgeous pool and spa perfect situated to watch the sunset every evening. We spent most of our time out there hanging out, playing games, grilling, etc. The house is as described with an open and well stocked kitchen, two full baths and three bedrooms. Having two king beds is so nice when you have two couples and the two twin bedroom was perfect for the kids and had space for the crib - which was provided. The location in proximity to pickleball courts, downtown La Quinta and all of your basic needs was ideal. We’ve already got plans to rebook!

If only there was a 6th star!! First off, let me say that our hosts thought of everything to ensure that we had the complete Palm Springs experience. This incredible home is so welcoming and stocked with every need fulfilled. The backyard is a dream oasis and I would stay here again without question. The proximity to the airport is convenient and you quickly get used to hearing the planes. Thank you Clara and Stuart for your excellent communication and trip enhancements. 😁

My friends and I had so much fun here it’s a beautiful property and I think it healed me haha it has everything you could want in a little get away :) would just say the only issue we had was one of the rooms doesn’t have black out curtains so bring sleep eye masks luckily I had one but we will definitely be back loved it !

We were a small group of friends in town for a golf weekend and thoroughly enjoyed Daniela's home. The location was ideal -- close enough to restaurants and night-life to make for a quick uber ride but removed enough to feel private and secluded when enjoying the pool/outdoor space. The house was spotless and every kitchen amenity you could think of was made available. Daniela was also so nice and accommodating, allowing for a very early bag drop so we could make our first day of golf in time. Highly recommend!

Went to Palm Springs for a long weekend with friends to get away from the big city noise and ended having a wonderful and relaxing stay. Michael's place was just as described and had all of the amenities needed for a great time plus more.

We love El Bandito! The home, decor, pool...all a dreamy respite out in the desert. Would recommend without hesitation!

Wonderful Airbnb! We absolutely enjoyed every minute. We spent time at the creek by the property which was so peaceful. We would recommend to everyone!

This is the 4th time we have stayed here. We love it!! There is a hill of boulders that leaves me breathless every time I look at it. To see this hill with the rare Big Horned Sheep, takes me over the top emotionally. We also love the landscaping with the natural desert in mind. The house is decorated to fit the desert and the most well equipped Airbnb we,’ve ever stayed at. We spent a lot of time out in the patio watching the Chuckwallas, Roadrunners, Quail and Big Horned Sheep. There’s a ton of birds also. When it got warm, we went in the pool. The temperature of the water was perfect. Super refreshing on a hot day.

This place far exceeded our expectations - it is a beautiful home situated on a large piece of land with stunning views all around. Felt very private, yet it’s still possible to walk to the tiny town. We were there for a concert at Pappy&Harriets, which was as advertised - lively and full of character. The home is well appointed with 3 beautiful bedrooms with a spacious great room/kitchen in the center. The front porch rockers were a hit, as they provided a lovely place to hang in the warm temps. I only wish we had more time there to relax and enjoy the home. Can’t recommend high enough!

Absolutely stunning place. Can’t wait to stay there again. Beautiful, peaceful and has it all. Oh and the swimming pool is perfect. Bigger than in the photos.

We absolutely loved our stay at this home! Ashley, the host was amazing-super responsive and helpful anytime we had a question. He made everything easy and stress free.The layout was perfect for multiple families wanting some privacy but still having open spaces to be together. It was decorated just like the photos, bright, stylish and fun but still felt cozy. Loved all bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds, nice linens, 3 full bathrooms,Tv's in all the bedrooms and living area, plenty of closet space.We enjoyed having the sliding glass doors in all 3 bedroom's leading to pool area or a private outdoor retreat to sit and relax while enjoying the view of desert surrondings.The kitchen had everything we could possibly need to cook and prepare meals and the Bbq was used every day. Even with temperatures near 100 degrees we stayed incredibly comfortable.The air conditioning kept the house cool at all times and backyard plenty of shade. Private gate made parking 2 SUV's a breeze!

We had a great stay and Leafe was super helpful with local recommendations! The house was very peaceful and private. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone visiting Joshua Tree!

House was great, clean and easy to find everything. Pool was the perfect temperature. Host Jason was very responsive and helpful. Answered all questions in a timely manner. Definitely want to stay here again.

We were looking for a nice peaceful, fun, and private pool weekend getaway and that’s exactly what Heike and George’s provided with their home. Highly recommended this place to anyone looking for a private pool experience! 10/10

Beautiful house located 5 minutes away from downtown Palms Springs. The main house and the casita were clean, comfortable and cozy! The backyard was very spacious and the pool/spa were clean. Jennifer & Josh reached out right away after booking and were very kind. Tony, the property manager, was extremely helpful throughout the trip and made our stay seamless. He was quick to respond to any questions and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely stay here again!

Esther and Tuan were very detailed with communication and instructions for checking and checkout. They were fast to respond with anwsers and were easy to communicate with. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and very conveniently located . everything was exactly as described. Kitchen was spacious and had all the essentials if you needed to cook and grill. Bed and linens were so soft and comfortable and the whole house as well as the yard was very clean and tidy. The pool was relaxing to hang out in and there were plenty of pool floats to use along with a convenient pump. We felt very relaxed in the house and would definitely come back when we visit Palm Desert.

This was a great house for our family- well located and close drive to downtown Palm Springs and great quiet and safe neighborhood. The house was well appointed and stocked, especially in the kitchen, and there were several super thoughtful details throughout the home to make guests comfortable. The beds were all super comfy and we all slept great. We all loved the pool and hot tub, too! Sparkling clean and provided hours of entertainment for our kids. We also loved having the bocce and mini golf options at home too- lots to keep us busy and a great assortment of family games to play as well.

Great place to stay- plenty of room and close to downtown!

This home offered a truly restorative weekend retreat. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that thoughtful attention had been given to both design and comfort. The interior is adorned with an impressive collection of artwork that brings a sense of character and calm to the space. Each piece feels intentional, contributing to a setting that is both elegant and inviting. Whether enjoying coffee at daybreak or winding down in the evening with a glass of wine, the outdoor space offered a rare sense of privacy and tranquility. This property is a gem for anyone seeking a refined, peaceful escape. Highly recommended.

We’ve stayed at a few other houses in Palm Springs through AIRBNB and this was by far our favorite. It was exactly as described: great layout, super clean, full of amenities, lovely pool and hot tub, and came complete with responsive and helpful hosts. We’ve had pretty mixed experiences before this house, including hosts who “forgot” to mention their house was under the flight path of the airport, broken jacuzzis, and even hot water issues… but this experience was all positive. We hope to return!

We stayed for just one night, but it was truly lovely. The place looked just like the pictures, if not even better, and the night sky in the desert was absolutely breathtaking. The private deck with chairs was perfect for watching the sunset and sunrise. We also loved the record collection, it really set the mood and made the space feel extra special. Highly recommend!

The location of the condo can’t be beat. Easily walked wherever we wanted to go in Palm Springs. Condo itself had everything we needed: Comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen, pool towels and tennis rackets. One of the pools right outside the unit. Thanks Jason. Pretty great!
