Indio, California
LOVELY CASITA.
Lovely casita with queen size bed that sleeps two. Completely separate from main residence. Located behind double doors within private courtyard where a sitting area and fireplace await you. Casita contains a kitchen with two burner stove, microwave, refrigerator, sink with disposal, keurig coffee maker, pots, pans, all dishes and glasses. Also full size washer and dryer in unit. The unit also has free internet access, flat screen tv with free premium channels, and separately monitored heat and air conditioning for your comfort. The property is located ONLY 5 MINUTES FROM COACHELLA , STAGECOACH and DESERT TRIP FESTIVALS and sits right on the golf course. Fully equipped private en suite bath is also part of the casita. The area is only minutes away from all of the festivals Indio is known for. The Coachella festival, Stagecoach festival, the Indian Wells Parabas tennis open and the newest Desert Trip festival .
Located within 20 minutes of the three desert hospitals; jfk, eisenhower, and desert regional. Additionally there are numerous restaurants for fine or casual dining, movies, shopping and we are within 10 minutes of 4 different casinos. Both gambling and excellent shows are available at the casinos. The McCallum theater is 10 minutes away where you can get tickets for the finest plays and concerts in the country, and for those that really like to shop; the COD (college of the desert) has the swap meet every Saturday and Sunday and is also a 10 minute drive away.
GPS leads to restricted 40th Ave entrance, so tell visitors to go to Jefferson entrance instead We missed Kleenex. Oltherwise a delightful experience.
The casita is functional in all regards. The property is on a quiet street in a gated community. We picked the location as it was close to Indian Wells for the tennis tournament. While the tourney was canceled we checked out the location and it would have been really convenient for the tournament. The pool area was good as well. The check in process was a bit of a hassle. We were only provided the house address so when we put that into our GPS it took us to an entrance that was only for residents. It took a while for us to find the main gate where we were let in. That address should have been provided in the check-in instructions. You also need to enter and exit through this one location which isn't ideal for where the house is located but it wasn't too much of a hassle. Our only complaint is that we were charged for the fact that the freezer in the small fridge in the room was frozen over. It was like that when we checked in but the owner would not believe us so she charged us for the handyman that came out to defrost it. There was so much freeze over in it that it should have been obvious to her that there is no way that could have occurred in the four nights/three days we were there. She also agreed to provide us with a bill for the service so we could verify the charge but she did not do that. I found this whole experience left a really bad impression on me and I cannot recommend this lodging as a place to stay. If you do, make sure you let her know about any little thing that she might decide is a chargeable offense against your deposit. Renter beware is what I have to say.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. This casita is bright, clean and upscale. The host was friendly and responsive - we left for home with fond memories of our stay.
Susan was great to work with for this rental. The location was perfect for my daughter’s tournament that I was in town for.
Staying in this casita has been a delight. The accommodations were clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable. I felt safe the entire time I was here and enjoyed having access to Internet as well as cable television. I would highly recommend this Casita to anyone wishing to stay in the Garage Palm Desert area. The price is very affordable and again, the accommodations are lovely.
Enjoyed my stay here during a short business trip. The casita contained everything I needed. Thank you, for being a great hostess!
Susan's casita was beautiful in every way! Perfect for our short term stay, and close to all the local spots! Susan thought of everything to make our stay perfect, and I felt that she was very accommodating if we had questions. We loved the view from the outdoor courtyard, as well as the offstreet parking option. The pool and community space was lovely, and we made good use of it. The golf course looked amazing but we never had time to golf! Highly recommend the casita, and we will definitely be back next year! Thanks Susan!
The casita is in a very nice and quiet community. The pool and spa in the association are beautiful and a short drive from the casita. This VBRO is best if you are really looking for a quiet place to sleep. It is a bedroom and bathroom. The best way to describe it would be a Mother in Law quarters. It is perfect with a TV, bathroom, small frig, microwave, and hot plate. Great for heating up food, but don’t try to cook. We had an awesome stay while hiking and going to tennis tournament during the day. We highly recommend it!
I stayed a month and found the casita pleasant and attractive. For someone staying that long, there was one thing that would haveadded to the experience, a comfortable chair for reading and tv watching. The size of the room prevented that.
We stayed at the Casita while attending my son’s lacrosse tournament and it suited our needs perfectly. It was very clean, spacious enough and Susan was a great host.
Passed reviews said no kitchen, but I think she did add some supplies... toaster oven, mini fridge, microwave, plug in cook top with skillet IF you wanted to light cook. Place is small , but just fine for a couple or single person. We were there for Coachella and it was great because we could park right outside the property and catch a shuttle?? You do have access to the gym and pool but as a guest of the property you can’t use the gym until noon everyday:( so we drove to 24 hour fitness that is close by. This is also a very quite, chill place(retiremint community). Which was great, but not if you are looking for something upbeat. Thanks Suzan! We will try to book again next year?
