Description Santa Rosa Sundown: La Quinta

A palm-lined desert house in a gated estate in La Quinta, with the Santa Rosa Mountains as a constant backdrop. The open living space – soaring ceilings, fireplace, and a bar – gives way to a resort-style backyard where a pool and spa sit beneath towering palms, and evenings end watching the sun drop behind the mountains. The main suite has direct pool access and a spa-like bathroom with a soaking bathtub, while the two guest bedrooms sit on the opposite side of the house – a layout that works well for families wanting space. PGA West is about twelve minutes by car, and the Coachella Valley desert trails are on your doorstep.

Home truths:
* You'll need a car to make the most of your time here – La Quinta is spread out and while Uber and Lyft operate in the desert, a private vehicle gives you the most flexibility for day-to-day errands, golf, and dining.
* Note that work vehicles are not permitted to be parked inside the gated community.
