La Quinta 3 Bed, 2.5 Bath Home w/Private Heated Pool #0635743b

rented 3nights and 4 days. worst experience ever at this property. bugs and tree/flower leaves were floating in the pool. pool net was nearby but the net was all torn up and useless. had to push them out with my hands every time before using the pool. third bedroom by the front door had no A/C in 110 degree weather from the beginning. informed the host, but the response was airflow is weak in that room. he didn't understand what i meant by no air is coming out from the vent. garbage disposal was broken from the beginning. beats the purpose of renting a house to cook for the little ones. nobody bothered to check the garbage disposal before renting the place out? AC stopped working on the second day. contacted the host. supposedly, the pool guy tripped the electrical? why would a pool guy show up during the rental period? I never had to contact the host so many times for so many issues. only good thing about the property was that it was clean.

Located in an older neighborhood of La Quinta which made for a very quiet stay away from the busy areas which was great. The house is very well appointed. Wonderful linens, towels, everything you need in the bathrooms. The kitchen had everything to create a gourmet meal! Great BBQ and plenty of outdoor seating. Would definitely stay here again!

Great quaint place!

Comfortable size for five. Well located for our visit

The pool was beautiful and so convenient. Plenty of chairs/seating around the pool. House is very close to downtown La Quinta for great shops and restaurants. Golf courses all around and you are about 10 minutes from hwy 111. Loved the location.

Everything was as promised , we had a minor scheduling mixup but it was resolved very quickly and fairly, would highly recommend this property.

The pool was great with lots of room. The house was clean and comfortable and check in, check out was a breeze!

Very nice and comfortable. We enjoyed it and hope to come back one day

Front yard look like a it had not been taken care of dead palm froms on both sides of driveway and trash cans under the dead palm's. We went into house and in the master bed room was a large dirt stain and a small stain. We sent a photo to the host and he said he did not know what guest left it! He didOffer to have carpet cLeaned but it would take a day we had guest so we lived with it the carpet runners were dirty and the 2 chairs in dining room were torn. It appeared that the host had not been in his house for awhile and his cleaner must be blind. The ice maker did not work and host did not know how to fix it. It had been broken for a while! Pictures were better than the house . House is tired and host had a cute answer to everything!

Clean, comfortable and quiet neighborhood.

Host was not eager to help. Asked to have a phone call and we only got an email not totally answering our question and he never checked to make sure the problem was solved. We never heard from him again. Overall cleanliness of the rental could definitely be better. All vent covers are dirty and exhaust fans are full of dirt. The hinge on one of the bathroom doors is loose and looks like it has been that way for a long time. Part of the outlets don't work as well as a couple of the lamps. When it rains water leaks around the garage door into the garage.

My family loved staying here. They loved having a pool. The house was very comfortable. We would definitely come back.

The heated pool was a nice touch in the winter. Thanks! and the TV was HUGE! great to watch sports.

Amenities just as advertised!

We so enjoyed Ian's beautiful home in La Quinta, CA. It was perfect for us in a quiet, residential neighborhood right by the foothills and walking trails. The house had all the amenities we needed including two coffee makers; a huge TV and a lovely, large, well lit en suite bathroom with a big tub and shower. We plan to stay there again when we come next year, no need at all find someplace else.

Great rate, quiet neighborhood

The house and pool were clean and met our needs. The pool was a good temperature. We enjoyed the walking trails that were close to the house.

My family stayed at this super cute home for Christmas and everything was perfect!Very clean and well stocked, the beds were very comfortable (three nice sized bedrooms, including wonderful master bedroom) - there was plenty of room for the six of us. Nice sized master bathroom, plus another full bathroom and a half bath, allowed everyone to get ready quickly and easily. There was such attention to detail, including the fresh Christmas flowers and Christmas themed throw pillows on the couch. It made such a difference in our stay and we loved everything.There is a wonderful, heated pool in the backyard with plenty of outdoor seating and a view of the mountains. Nice kitchen, a huge TV in the living room for evening movie night and washer/dryer in the garage. The neighborhood is safe, very quiet and lovely with easy access to amazing trails and a very short drive to the La Quinta Resort as well as many stores and restaurants. We would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful, owner let us check in early, was available quickly via messaging, the house was lovely, one of the best beds I’ve ever slept in.

Home was nice and spacious, pool was very nice. Nicely decorated and pretty views of the mountains.

My kids love the pool, at night we felt like at home. Sitting on the couch watching movies and eating popcorn. We had a great time. Such a beautiful home, I would stay here again!!

Beware, False advertising! Host never inspected property before renting to me. Paid him full amount. Would never have booked if I knew truth. Advertised TVs, except no remotes to use them! No TVs for my entire stay. Left early after no sleep from noise and the advertised working smoke alarms went off,no safety check, before accepting money from me and profiting. Dangerous, alarm muted, not working, all could’ve died. This is California wildfire country, this is serious, I have lived through two wild fires. Paying guests aren’t property mgrs., because he wants to save money on property mgr. or his own inspection, if he’s taking money from unsuspecting guests. He shouldn’t keep my money, knew property hadn’t been checked out in a while. Ian, the host,promised a refund, in writing, for not one day of quiet enjoyment, the services advertised and for which I paid. I was always polite, he wasn’t. All I asked for was the refund that he had promised me since he ruined my vacation and I had to leave early, even told him I wouldn’t write a bad review because just wanted to end this nightmare and move on. He reneged, so warning you! I Rent in desert often, I’ve liked the hosts, they’ve liked me, always had good experience. There are many others that are reputable. Wish I had been warned about this irresponsible, dangerous , one. Vacation will always be ruined by Ian, I’m writing this review so that it will not happen to anybody else. He shouldn’t get away with this!

Had a very good experience, this was a great place to stay in La Quinta and I would do it again!

Overall was a good stay and experience

The property is as described. The house is easy to find and check in was easy. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, the pool was great.the house is well appointed..and the neighborhood was quiet The overall property is getting a little worn, but it looks like the owner is working on it. The bathrooms have been remodeled, the kitchen looks good with nice granite countertops. The walls and mouldings could use some touchup painting. The landscaping needs a little help, but it was August and it had been very hot. Overall it was a good value for the money. I would stay again. FYI, I also own a VRBO property in Phoenix AZ...and know how tough it is to keep up on maintainance for a property in desert areas.

We had a grest time in the large beautiful house located in a nice neighborhood. Everything was clean and well-maintained. Of course the pool was awesome as well and the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The host also communicated very well and helped out when needed.

We all loved the house, very spacious and clean. Very well maintained, this place has everything we needed and lived up to every promise. We would definitely visit again! Thank you!

Enjoyed our stay!

Unfortunately this location was false advertisement house had a weird smell me and my family had to buy cleaning supplies bed bug spray to make house stay able owner tried to blame us for damages that was already done a lot of places had tape trying to hold things together living room table had a crack but was still holding up the toilet was clogged had to buy things for that also we only stayed because we couldn’t get our money back to cancel not to mention I have videos from the moment we walked in the house I have pictures of my kids bed bug bites

Kids enjoyed the pool and BBQ worked great!

The place is showing its age a bit. But, it has everything we needed. There is a TV in each bedroom but of course the person who wanted to use it didn’t have any luck in getting it to work. The master bath didn’t have a working tub (not a problem for us) nor shampoo in the shower. We had a great time there. It’s close to hiking trails and is an exceptionally quiet neighborhood.

This stay left us feeling less than happy with the experience, host and VRBO. The worst part of this experience was the interaction with the host and his suggested manipulation for a rating.The place was okay, but not much attention to detail with cleaning. After some messages with the host, we found out he cleans himself and not very thoroughly! There was tons of dust both on the floorboards and caked on every vent. In fact our friend with allergies had such a bad breathing attack that he had to leave and stay elsewhere. When I reported to the host he claimed that we had a bogus claim and we did not need to come back. He was very defensive and not willing to work with us at all. Until he told he would send a request for a 5 star review in exchange for 100 to compensate out friend who had to stay elsewhere. Also, the bathtub in the master is broken & from reading other reviews seems to have been for some time.I wish I could post the pictures of the dust, and the message from this host for others to see! Lesson learned to check each and every review of a place before bookingdo not go by the over all rating!Don't walk away from this place....RUN!!!!!

This was a great find. House was clean, rooms were big, swimming pool was nice in the sun. Host was easy to contact. Highly recommend!

Our overall impression of this property was it is just okay. “Very well worn” is how I would describe it. I am confused by all the other glowing reviews unless they were either all left by family members of the owner or people in their twenties who attended Coachella. This is why I decided to leave a review because I felt misled by the photos and reviews. In my over 12 years of renting properties on VRBO, this was by far the most run down. On a positive note the property manager was responsive to a minor toilet issue and to questions. I would not recommend this property to anyone over 25.

We love the La Quinta Cove area and were happy to find a house close to the walking trails as we have stayed in the area before. We were disappointed by this property as it is sadly neglected and needs a lot of TLC. The yard is in very poor condition with a pool in need of repair and the surrounding coating cracked and crumbling. The pool itself while old was clean and serviced on a regular basis. The outdoor furniture was in poor condition and uncomfortable . My husband and I spent the better part of an afternoon sweeping, cleaning the bbq, replacing broken and missing lights and washing down the furniture and concrete. We purchased some cheap outdoor rugs from Walmart just to cover up the mess and make it more bearable for our stay. Overall, we did not find this home comfortable and it is unsuitable for a long term stay.

Property nicely appointed. Beds were very comfortable. Quiet neighborhood.

The house and pool were as amazing as always! Love staying here!
