Cactus Adobe - A Classic Desert Home with Soul, Space & Stories - EV Charger

This is a wonderful unique space. It is very comfortable and well equipped. The host communication was excellent. The washer/dryer came in handy. It was nice to be able to cook a full dinner. We loved staying here.

We enjoyed the varied memorabilia and location. The living room furniture is not very comfortable, but that’s our only complaint.

Great location and very cute home with a big back yard.

Patricia is wonderful!

Great location and super kind and responsive hosts

A well-equipped, cozy desert home with a spacious, outdoor space as well. Excellent, responsive communication with property manager. Could use another heat source for bedrooms, but it was manageable. Would definitely stay here in the future. Good value for the $$$.

Big positives: This is a one-of-a-kind home with early- and mid-20th century nostalgia and memorabilia throughout. Fantastic private outdoor space where you can play a real game of horseshoes and hang out in the sun or under a large covered patio. The home was the perfect size for our family of four. Very comfortable beds. Everything you could need in the kitchen. Quiet neighborhood. Minor negatives: There were a couple of minor bumps, but I imagine the attentive manager has actively worked to resolve them. We received the wrong lock-box code so we couldn’t get in the house upon arrival until we were able to get a hold of the manager. Turns out an email with the updated code hadn’t been sent to us in advance. From reading other reviews, it seems like this was a one-time mistake. The other issue was that several days after departing and after having paid in full, we received a notice that a new fee had been tacked on. The property management told us that VRBO has failed to add this fee regarding local taxes on numerous reservations. That is a problem, but it shouldn’t be passed to the customer after full payment of the agreed-upon cost and then departure. I called VRBO since I had never experienced an owner adding a fee after departure. VRBO told me I didn’t have to pay and I did not pay it. The fee was removed. I hope VRBO and the manager have been able to resolve their fee schedule so that all necessary fees are listed up front. Other than those two little bumps, this was a great find.

This is a cute little house with funky decoration and interesting Cactus in the big yard. It's 5 minutes away from the Oasis Visitor Center, close to the North entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. The owner, Patricia, is a great communicator.

When my husband and I were looking for options to stay in, he really liked this one due to it's proximity to the park. I wasn't completely sold but I think it's because the pictures don't do this place justice. The yard was a lot bigger than I thought and the house itself was very cozy. Loved staying here with all the cool relics and signage around the yard. Even greater was all the wildlife that would pop in.

The Tile House was a perfect choice. It's close to restaurants, the Park, and shopping. The house was clean and comfortable, with everything you could want, and more. When you enter the property, there is a large outdoor space that includes a cactus garden, three different seating locations, and artistic assemblages of found objects with a desert theme, as well as some internation ethnic pieces. And there's an outdoor shower! Inside there is a dining table for 4-6, and there's a smaller round table off the kitchen. The beds are comfy. We spent our time hiking, so we didn't use the TV or couch. The internet worked. They have a lot of basic staples in the kitchen. All communications were flawless.

This wonderful piece of private property was a perfect getaway and we didn’t want to leave. :) It was exactly what we were looking for. Not fancy but so comfortable. A lot of interesting artifacts throughout the place too. The pictures did not do it justice but that said, you’ll be surprised when you arrive. The outdoor shower is actually what sold me to the Cactus Adobe in the first place. Patricia was wonderful - very responsive with great communication. Thank you! We do plan on returning.
