Palm Desert, California
El Paseo:
Casablanca, OFF El Paseo is situated in the heart of Palm Desert, a half block off El Paseo. Known for being the Rodeo Drive of the desert, the El Paseo Shopping District is comprised of The Shops on El Paseo and The Gardens on El Paseo. Together, these shopping centers create an impressive mile-long retail experience that is unlike any other locale in the region, providing customers with a large selection of locally owned boutiques, high-end shops, and prestigious international brands. The strip is host to many events throughout the year, Fashion Week El Paseo, Palm Desert Food & Wine Festival and the El Paseo Art Walk.
El Paseo is also home to many of Palm Desert's most popular restaurants. Guests staying at Casablanca can easily walk to Daily Grill or (the owners' personal recommendation) Wilma & Frieda's Café for breakfast or lunch. For dinner, favorites like Mastros, Eddie's Vs, Mitch's, Sullivan's and many more are a short stroll away.
Casablanca, Off El Paseo:
The estate was originally built in 1993 as a Bed & Breakfast. Changes in the short term rental regulations by the city of Palm Desert, combined with the unique zoning of Casablanca, create a unique, one of a kind rental opportunity for guests to stay in the heart of Palm Desert, just off infamous El Paseo, in their own private boutique hotel – Casablanca. With no expense spared, the year long renovation focused on all the amenities one would come to expect in a five-star resort setting, while enjoying the privacy of a private residence. Since the home was originally built as a bed and breakfast, all bedrooms offer en suite bathrooms, king beds, vaulted ceilings, large flat screen TVs and personal thermostat controls. This insures everyone gets a comfortable room and private bathroom. The former manager's office was converted to a Moroccan lounge with a blue monochromatic theme. This room can also be converted to a full bed configuration for kids or adults to sleep in. In total, Casablanca offers 7 en suite bedrooms with king beds, the Moroccan lounge room and eight full bathrooms.
When dining in at Casablanca, we have a full kitchen and bar both inside and outside the estate. There are two custom oversized dining tables, both inside and outside. The indoor table is a ten-foot custom circular table that seats 14+ with a six-foot lazy-susan, otherwise one could never reach the items in the center. It likely the largest circular dining table you have ever seen. The table is an utterly unique piece that is great for hosting large groups and even better for photo opportunities on special occasions. For nice evenings, the outdoor table seats a similar 14-16 guests, under the shaded overhang, with music, fan for a breeze and misters to keep the temperature down. We recommend hiring a private chef to prepare the food, so you can prepare the drinks.
The backyard of Casablanca has a private resort feel comprising chaise lounge chairs, daybeds with privacy curtains, commercial misting system, heated pool, full outdoor kitchen/bar and vast grassy area for outdoor movies, group yoga, games, etc. The property was designed with the intention of hosting and entertaining small to medium size groups; family vacations, golf retreats, bachelor/bachelorette parties, yoga retreats, corporate functions/retreats, and small weddings. The common spaces are designed to accommodate private gatherings with a focus on people interacting, eating, sleeping, drinking, and working together.

This was such a wonderful house! We kept saying we would/will come back! It was perfect for a large group - friends or family.
Amazing property for our family getaway, everyone felt they had lots of space to stretch out with spacious bedrooms and ensuites in every room. Backyard is huge with heated pool and hot tub, but also seating area with a fireplace and a large outdoor bar that was perfect for hanging out and watching the game. Location is ideal for El Paseo access, hosts were very responsive to questions and requests.
Went to celebrate my wife’s 40th bday with friends and family. The rooms were spacious and very well designed. Outside space was amazing and we found ourselves there most of the time. Literally a block away from the main street that has restaurants and shops making it easy to walk around.
This house is incredible! Susan the property manager is so helpful and easy to get ahold of. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. Every room having a bathroom is such a game changer. The pool is really nice and we loved having the whole backyard area- it felt like a resort! This house is in the perfect location! Don’t hesitate and book it!
The property was absolute perfection! The fact that every bedroom had it's own en suite bathroom was ideal for a group of girls and probably the only reason we made all of our reservations on time. The property in general has a resort feel and there is plenty of different spaces for everyone to sprawl out. The pool and outdoor space is beautiful and where we spent most hours of the day. The location is perfect for walking to shops/restaurants on El Paseo. We had no difficulty getting Uber/Lyft rides to and from the airport or downtown Palm Springs. The property manager(s) were quick in their responses and willing to work with us. Our group had an amazing long weekend and are already talking about when we can come back to do it again.
We had 10 adults and 4 children ages 4-8. Loved the fact that each room had their own bathroom. Plenty of dishes and ample accessories and spices. The separate bar inside and another bar outside were perfect. Large swimming pool with 6 lounge chairs but only 1 umbrella. I would suggest the owners install a few more umbrellas. I would recommend this place. It was great for our family reunion and our parents 50th anniversary party.
Stayed here for a big birthday and treated my friends. The house was just as advertised, and everyone was happy with their rooms! I was looking for a place that could accommodate our group and was walking distance of shopping and restaurants. The house is so close to El Paseo. Also, the house felt very safe and secure. Thanks Casablanca for making my birthday so memorable. I’ll definitely be back!
The house was just as pictured. Great location, great property, great time. Would stay there again :)
I can't say enough great things about this property! I agree with all of the other reviews that the property even better than the pictures. It was so spacious with so much seating and different activities. The couple other work people that came by during the trip were in literal awe and have already booked the house for other personal trips. I am hoping we can book the exact same place next year!
A perfect location for a large party. Spacious interior with plenty of privacy. Paseo Drive is a block away with shopping, restaurants, etc. The outdoor space was sensational with an oversized pool and separate jacuzzi. We loved out stay!
the pictures do not do this place justice. There were 14 of us who stayed the weekend for a bachelorette party and we had the best time. Every common area had enough space for all of us to sit which I feel is super rare. The outdoor spaces were incredible, with grapefruit and orange trees out in the back to pick from, backyard games, heated pool, etc. Already planning on coming back ?
Beautiful property with every amenity. Stellar location. Walk everywhere!
We really enjoyed our stay at Casablanca! It is a fabulous gathering place for a large group or family! Has all the amenities anyone would want in a place! I highly recommend Casablanca!
Casablanca was even better than the pictures show. It was the perfect location, and the perfect amount of space for our group of 13. Everyone has their own space and the common areas are huge. The outdoor areas are so well thought out and we really enjoyed the outdoor kitchen/bar area. Walk to shops and restaurants on El Paseo. Highly recommend!
Clean with great amenities, good location
This place was a 10/10 - often times I find that the property isn't as nice as the photos once you arrive, in this case the property was better than the photos!
We totally loved this spot. We were a group of 14 and the 7 bedrooms worked perfectly. The common areas is well appointed and very comfortable, both inside and out. My only suggestion for improvement would be to make the side yard, less accessible to the general public and there is nothing preventing anyone from simply walking in the side yard and into the back yard. Since the property is not behind a gate and is so close to town and public parking, it was a bit surprising. Seems like a very easy fix. Regardless of that one issue, the overall experience was nearly perfect!
Rented this place for a joint bachelor party for my partner and I and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. The place was perfect. Having 8 bathrooms was such a huge pro. Everyone slept so comfortably and so clean and everything about the house was just as described. Definitely would recommend this house for anyone having a small get together with family and/or friends.
This house was absolutely stunning. It was the perfect location for my bachelorette party. Check in process was very easy. The house was clean, easy to operate, and in an amazing location. Highly recommend!!
Casablanca fulfilled any and all of our hopes for our bachelorette trip! Location- PERFECT! It is walking distance to a fair amount of shopping and eateries while only being a hop and a skip from downtown Palm Springs and the airport. Customer Service- I cannot say enough good things about how easy they made this trip for our group! From being available to answer questions promptly to helping intercept shipments sent to the property for us, they went so far about and beyond our expectations. THE HOUSE- Oh my vacation-loving-heart, the house is incredible and PERFECT for a group! The pool and outdoor bar are the perfect set up for outdoor pool lounging all day long. We had a cook come in to cater a meal and they were super impressed by how well stocked the kitchen is and seating 10 people at the big table was perfect! ***There were some pool floats available in the backyard, which I assume were left by previous tenants, so there is no need to travel with them!
