Description Desert of Gold: La Quinta

Settle into this single-level desert house and the Santa Rosa Mountains fill the view from almost every angle – dramatic at sunrise, violet-edged by dusk. The heated pool and spa, complete with a cascading waterfall and Baja shelf, sit directly against the golf course fairway, making it hard to leave the garden. A private casita gives any guests who want their own space exactly that, while the alfresco patio with a fire pit table is ideal for evenings under the desert sky. PGA West's championship courses are a fifteen-minute walk away.

Home truths:
* The golf course wrapping the backyard is private – if you or your group aren't booked in as paid golfers, you'll need to stay off the course.
* For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
* Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
* Noise monitors are installed inside and outside the home. They measure sound levels only and don't record audio.
