Joshua Tree, California
This is a sprawling 2000 sq. ft. mid-century modern house built in 1959 with original vintage and tiki interior features including 2 bars! It is ideally situated between the village of Joshua Tree and the National Park on a paved road in a quiet neighborhood.
This house was built in 1959 with entertaining in mind and features original mid-century details and furnishings. The tiki interior and 2 separate bars set the mood for relaxing and fun-filled gatherings. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms - each at opposite ends of the house. There is a king bed in the master bedroom and queen bed in the guest bedroom. There are also 2 twin beds in the family room which can serve as a 3rd bedroom for larger groups. The house is basically configured as separated master and guest wings. The guest wing includes a bedroom, newly remodeled bathroom, kitchenette, and family room and has a separate entrance. The master wing includes a bedroom, dressing room with lighted make-up mirror, bathroom, pantry, full kitchen, dining area, large living room, and amazing bar between the living room and kitchen. This is a very unique house and it is particularly unusual to find a mid-century gem like this as there is little in the way of architectural homes to choose from in the Joshua Tree area. Vintage furnishings and decoration and stereos with record players and an extensive record collection allow you to immerse yourself in another time. Modern conveniences include a large smart TV with Netflix access, cable, DVD/CD player, wireless internet, new refrigerator with ice maker, and gas BBQ grill assure a comfortable stay. There are 2 outdoor dining tables and seating for 12 on the back patio. A firepit and lounge chairs in the back yard are great for stargazing at night. A new 7 person hot tub is located on the back patio. The shady front porch features a porch swing perfect for relaxing and enjoying the panoramic view.
Really unique home, very comfortable and spacious. Great location and amenities. Can’t wait to return!
The mid-century modern decor gives this property an awesome feel. We loved using the turn-tables to listen to the eclectic collection of music. The rooms are cozy, the kitchen has all the appliances and equipment and the common areas are great to sit around to talk and listen to music. Access to the Joshua Tree NP is very convenient and the Visitor Center, Saloon and Coffee are less than. 5 minutes drive. Would return anytime!
Tiki House is a real gem!! The architecture is mid century, and the home is filled with unique and fun items of that time period. There is a fabulous record collection and the home is equipped with current electronics to enhance the enjoyment! Mark is an exceptional and attentive host. The home is close to the best local attractions. You can't go wrong renting this home...it's just a joy to stay here! Anna
I stayed at the tiki house with 4 friends over my birthday weekend. The property is to die for! The backyard is extremely private and homey, we had such a hard time leaving. With so many games and things to do around the house, the beautiful record collection, great communication by Mark, I would absolutely stay here again.
We love staying at the “tiki house”. Nothing beats relaxing here for a weekend, listening to vinyl, making tiki drinks, and enjoying the backyard/hot tub.
Our family of 5 (kids 11, 7, and 6) stayed 3 nights over Spring Break and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We happily wore out the record collection, instruments and games in the game/music room, enjoyed outdoor fires and dining and generally found hanging out at the house, exploring all the carefully curated and original details, more fun than driving around to some of the local destinations like Pioneertown. We also needed to get in touch with the owner during our stay and he was right over to help. One of our more memorable vacation rentals.
We really enjoyed our stay in this timeless home. Everything was very clean and easy to find. We loved the uniqueness of the music/gameroom and all of the amazing art. This home is very large and has a separate room/kitchenette and restroom. The backyard is enclosed and it is minutes away from Joshua Tree National Park. The owner was very helpful and made sure we arrived to a warm cozy home. Will book again!
Walking into this home, you will be blown away by the decor and all of the amazing amenities. Every turn brings you something new and exciting to see and do. Tiki decor, games, records, fires and more - you won't want to leave.
We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was so charming and comfortable and the location couldn’t have been better. Every Mid-Century detail throughout the house brought us back to a fond memory of our youth!
We had a great stay here. The tiki theme is so good!
