Johnson’s Retreat. Indian Palms. View of royal & mountain course. Pool & Spa.

Such a lovely location amid the Indian Palms Country Club Resort area! The home is classic Californian-Southwest style with it's very own courtyard and beautiful luscious green grass in the back yard to wiggle your toes upon. PROS: (1) The KITCHEN! Every utensil you could EVER need or use is available and top of the line appliances to boot! We enjoyed the Traeger grill/smoker so very much! ((BTW we found that Ralph's had a wonderful selection of meats!)) (2) ABUNDANCE of beach towels, toiletries - including blow dryers, and cleaning supplies. You really don't need to bring much more than your clothes, swimsuit, and some sunscreen. Everything you need is here! (3) FRUIT TREES - All the lemons you could possibly want! The pompilios were amazing as well (we learned the difference between grapefruit and pompilios)! We made homemade lemonade and even juiced some pompilios. So delicious! (4) SUN - the backyard and outdoor patio area faces the West, so during our stay in January and February, the sun was warm and comforting even on the chilliest of days. (5) POOL - The large and lengthy pool is perfect for exercising AND lounging/floating. Five lounge chairs, two separate tables with seating for four and eight respectively, three umbrellas, and even a propane gas rock top fire pit for entertaining outside! (6) HOT TUB/SPA - Perfect. We used the hot tub on a daily basis. Nothing more relaxing after a day on the golf course! SUGGESTIONS: When contracting to heat the pool, ask for sole control and come to an agreement on days of use and temperature setting. This home is wonderful and contact with the owners is spot on. Every concern/need is addressed immediately.

I enjoyed my month long stay in Shelly and Larry's beautiful home. It has a tropical vibe and beautiful pool and yard. My two dogs loved the size of the yard, which has plenty of grass and is completely fenced in. It is a great location with views of the golf course, but set-back enough to have privacy in the pool area. Shelly and Larry were excellent hosts. They were very fast to respond to my questions and were very helpful throughout my stay. I would definitely recommend this home to others.

We enjoyed this property. The owners were great as is the property!

Shelly and Larry are incredible hosts and their home is BEAUTIFUL, clean, comfortable, and spacious. They made us feel at home and completely welcomed. They were always available, very accommodating, and added special touches like fresh flowers and blown-up floaties in the pool to make us go wow when we walked in. The location is ideal and so close to the Empire Polo Fields, an easy and short walk. I cannot wait to come back!!

My husband and I stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The backyard pool and garden are beautiful; we enjoyed morning coffee, afternoon dips in the pool and happy hour every day! The home has a nice southwestern vibe and was very comfortable for the two of us and our dog. The house is well equipped and included a very comfortable bed in the master. Despite the temps being in the 90's, the house never got too warm and we slept with just the fans going and windows open. We would definitely stay here again.

It is lovely to sit outside and listen to the birdsong, swim laps in the pool, read a book or entertain a few friends. The homeowners are very responsive to any concern, and obviously love this property. We were in this rental for six weeks and Shelly and Larry were easy to work with. The property is a bit worn, but they are starting to upgrade the interior of the house. The renovated master suite and bath are top notch!

What a great place. Shelly was great always communicating with us. Checking in to see how everything was or if we needed anything. The place was perfect for me and my family. The pool is awesome 50 foot long wow. Great location can not wait to go back. Thank you Shelly.

If you are looking for a Desert Oasis, look no further, this place has it all! Shelly and Larry have a beautiful 3 bedroom home on the golf course in Indio, with a fabulous swimming pool, that is beautifully landscaped. The house is stylishly decorated and has everything you might want to be indoors or outdoors. We highly recommend Shelly and Larry's vacation home, just bring your swimsuit and toothbrush, high end products and fluffy towels await!

The listing for this property is 100 accurate. The bedding was comfortable, bathrooms beautiful, towels and towels and towels. the kitchen was nicely equipped with everything that you could need. Living room and dining table perfect for our family of four however it could fit 6 easily. The pool and outdoor area also great. We didn't eat outside because of the heat during August but in another season the outdoor dining table is large and nice seating, plenty of chaise lounge options as well. The yard is very private from the neighbors and looks out onto the golf course however the layout keeps the golfers well away from the house. I did not feel like anyone was watching us as we were in the pool. We would definitely stay here again. Owners were very quick to communicate with any of our questions before and during our stay and were able to answer them sufficiently.

My husband and I stayed for a few days on our own and then had friends come visit us for the weekend. It was the perfect home for us and our two small dogs. Gorgeous pool and our friends loved it too. We had such a great trip!
