Description Lakeside Mirage: Rancho Mirage

Perched within the private gated community of Santo Tomas, this desert home wraps itself around a nine-acre lake – and the water is never far from view. Launch a kayak from the private dock, cool off in the infinity pool with its cascading waterfall and spa, then gather at one of two fire pits as the Coachella Valley sky deepens after dark. A putting green fills the gaps between swims, and a covered outdoor lounge with a gas barbecue makes alfresco entertaining effortless. Golf courses, El Paseo, and the San Jacinto Mountains are all within easy reach.

Home truths:
* Guests must be 25 years of age or older to rent this home.
* Santo Tomas is a private gated residential community, so you'll need a car to reach restaurants, shops, and local attractions. We recommend hiring one if you're not driving to the area already.
* If you're planning to kayak or canoe on the lake, you'll need to bring your own – there are no watercraft provided at the home.
* Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
