    The $50 mandatory insurance not disclosed by booking.com that came when registering guests, the too many warnings / tags in the property regarding do / do not, the lack of shelves in the fridge and therefore lack of space to store food when the house has 4 bedrooms.

    Location, large rooms, clean, good beds

    The area outside looks not well-kept around. The terrace with a table is very poor compared to the interior of the house. There are various jars of spices in the kitchen but no spices inside. The grill was dirty inside. There were no shelves in the refrigerator.

    The house is modern and beautiful inside.

    Entry steps appeared to be railway ties which is fine but the first 3 or 4 steps were not level and were ramp like making it difficult to get up at the beginning and the steps were uneven in couple of other areas as well. The exterior landscaping was disappointing and did not meet expectations. If we would have had a longer stay it would have been more of an issue. The aircon seemed to be programmed to go off during the night and some rooms were quite warm while one or two were quite cool.

    Interior space was very clean and spacious. Very pleasing deco. Kitchen well stocked with everything to cook with except rice cooker.

    The main bathroom shower has a digital shower valve which is confusing and didn't reach the desired temperature and the main entrance is not accommodating for handicap accessible individuals.

    Beautiful location with accommodating bedroom and bathroom facilities. Really enjoyed the shower in the hallway bathroom.

    The backyard could use some attention. The hot tub was very cloudy and could have used a good cleaning. The bathtub also would not hold water. The stopper would not stay in.

    The home was beautiful inside and very quiet and clean.

    The patio door lock was in disrepair & difficult to close & lock. The master shower drain was clogged & I had water up to my ankles & it leaked out the shower door onto the floor. The hall bathroom toilet clogged. There was a dirty pan in the cupboard

    We cooked our own breakfast. The decor of the home was lovely, the flat grill worked good for cooking steaks. The beds were comfortable, the hot tub was nice

    For a couple, it is very expensive. I wish they had the option to pay less (they could lock the extra rooms maybe?). Also, the cleaning fee is very high if only spending the weekend.

    The facility is wonderful. It made us feel at home. The location is great, only 5 mins from Joshua Tree NP. Very quiet neighborhood. The kitchen is full equipped. The bedrooms are very comfortable. The property replies very quickly.

    The house was freezing ❄️ and the heater wasn't working appropriately! I texted the owners a lot of times about it and they couldn't help. they told me to look for space heaters around the house which they didn't have! we ended up taking a long shower, just to get a bit warmer. the hot tub was not hot enough and the control screen was disabled to change its temperature! we even tried to use the bathtub to warm up and the plug was also disabled! so overall if you are planning on booking this place, I would strongly encourage you to take warmers.

    The house is nice and up-to-date. it is close to Joshua tree national park.
