The Desert Castle: A Private Theatre, Pool&Spa, Golf

The Desert Castle is a masterfully designed estate that combines exterior elements borrowed from a European castle with modern interior design that includes all the latest technology and amenities. Escape from the hustle and bustle of a busy urban center to this sanctuary located in a truly unique part of South Palm Desert, right next to world renown BigHorn Golf Club where rugged beauty of the Southern California desert is at your doorstep.

Rest in 5 spacious bedrooms each featuring a flat screen TV and modern décor throughout. We have something fun to do for everyone in your party, indoors or outdoors: Catch the latest movie or game in the state-of-the-art movie theater and enjoy fresh popcorn from our kettle popcorn cart. Play pool, foosball, children and adult board games and books, cook for the entire family in a fully outfitted kitchen with ample cookware, cooking supplies and silverware. Use two sets of washers and dryers to stay clean during your visit. 4 balconies with comfortable seating sets to enjoy the breathtaking mountain views. Powerful WiFi system (the best on the market) throughout will support all of your wireless devices for use in business and pleasure.

In the expansive backyard you will enjoy resort style pool and spa, swim or just relax on your float (heating fees apply, please ask host). Plenty of outdoor games: Cornhole, giant connect4, giant Jenga, Bocce ball and various of other toys and games. Cook using the state of the art outdoor kitchen with a built-in gas BBQ, cooling fans, refrigerator and plenty of cooking area . We offer many seating options outdoors including a counter level dining table (seating 12), dining table (seating 6), couches (seating 8), 7 loungers, 2 tanning chairs. At night, gather around the fire pit under the stars with string lights illuminating entire backyard or stretch and relax in our unique hammock nest (3 hammocks). For the golf aficionados out there, you will find a 7-hole putting green to hone your putting skills all while taking in panoramic mountain views (putters and balls available)

While it might feel like you are in the middle of wild desert, you are only minutes away from El Paseo, the “Rodeo Drive” of the desert with plenty of boutiques and fine dining. You are also a short drive away from other such amenities as the well-known zoo The Living Desert, shops, restaurants, and of course world-famous BNP Paribas Tennis Tournament and Coachella and Stagecoach festivals.

Great yard and location.
We had a nice time. The property manager was always available and prompt in her responses I was worried before our arrival about the pool temp; as we had children with us that wanted to swim they made sure the poo was nice and warm when we arrived!! My mistake, in booking, was not noticing there are no on suite bathrooms. We had to share. We are family, so it was kind of ok. But just an fyi. Also, the pool is small. Four of the people that were supposed to be there, could not come. There were just nine of us. If the other family had been there and the weather was warm. It would have been a tight fit it the pool. The house is older. It was clean, which is super important to us!! It had everything you need!! The beds could use new mattresses. The location is so great! Pretty desert landscape just out of town. With everything you need 5 min away!! Again, property mgr is great!

A good time was had by all. However, there were several housekeeping / maintenance issues that were a little offsetting. Like dirty dishes in the cupboard and an end-of-life battery alert in the fire alert system. Expected some kind of compensation from owner or VRBO to recognize us for our coping with these issues, but it never happened.
