Casa Colibri: Desert-Front w/ Saltwater Pool & Spa in Beautiful La Quinta

Welcome to our luxurious retreat surrounded by the Santa Rosa Mountains. Walk across the street to Bear Creek Trailhead where you might spot Big Horned Sheep. Relax or lap-swim in the heated saltwater pool while hummingbirds fly above. Soak in the saltwater hot tub under the stars - perhaps you'll catch a meteor shower or hear a hooting owl!

Inside, enjoy the large fully-stocked kitchen, open floor plan, fast reliable wifi, and a sit/stand desk if you gotta work.

The space:
Named after the playful hummingbirds who perch on the mature cacti and ocotillo plants, Casa Colibri is where we go to escape the city and find total relaxation. We welcome you to make this your monthly vacation home and enjoy the details this special place has to offer.

Cross the street (literally) to hiking and biking trails for all skill levels - from paved, family-friendly walks to more strenuous hikes.

Close proximity to the trails provides unobstructed views of the Santa Rosa mountains. Many homes in the cove have views, but not like this!

If you are a golf or tennis lover, we are less than a 10 minute drive to PGA West where the American Express golf tournament happens in January, and in March, you can drive to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden for the famous BNP Paribas Open in less than 15 minutes. The famous La Quinta Resort is less than 8 minutes by car and public golf, tennis, pickleball and gyms are a short drive or bike ride away.

Art lovers will appreciate the nearby La Quinta Art Celebration, Art On Main Street, and Desert Open Studio Tours. Foodies will not want to miss the Farmers Market every Sunday from October 1 - May 26 just 6 minutes away by car.

And music fans will love quietly relaxing here in between sets at Coachella or Stagecoach - 15 minutes away by car.

With all that La Quinta and surrounding areas have to offer, you will discover that Casa Colibri is a magical escape all in itself. Guests can enjoy the spacious and well-maintained property with all the comforts of home, including a fully-stocked kitchen and outdoor living areas.

Light sleepers will savor the quiet and comfort of Casa Colibri. All of the bedrooms have white noise machines, Saatva mattresses and fine bedding with down-alternative comforters and pillows. The primary suite has a smart tv, large walk-in closet, vanity with dual sinks, and a large step-in shower with water-filter.

It's easy to work remotely at Casa Colibri with the fast and reliable wifi and a sit/stand adjustable desk with office chair in the third bedroom.
