Wonderful, memorable stay

Loved this property - so unique, clean and comfortable. The bed was so comfy and although it wasn’t quite warm enough to swim we enjoyed the hot tub and beautiful pool area with a gorgeous view of the mountains. Located super close to restaurants, shopping and activities and was a great place to come back to after visiting Joshua Tree. Host was very responsive and welcoming. The only bad part was having to leave. Look forward to staying here again in the future!

Mid-Century Mod Oasis

This property was cozy and welcoming. Everything was pristine and clean. We enjoyed early morning coffee on the side porch with views of the surrounding mountains. It was spectacular! The grounds of the Ocotilla Lodge are beautiful. They seem to actually take you back in time. We look forward to a return visit already!!

Ocotillo Adventure 2024

We had seen the unit the previous year, during Modernism. We knew we had to stay there as soon as possible, but that had to wait to 2024 Modernism. It was beyond amazing. Walking distance to Koffi, and Elmer's if you don't want to drive. Comfortable and fun. It made us feel like locals. Can't wait to do it again.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah & Rich

We LOVE the Desert and all the variety it offers year 'round! We split our time between Palm Springs, Kirkland Washington, and Chelan Washington. Rich loves playing his Blues harmonicas and sitting in on local jams, working on his golf game, and home remodeling projects. Sarah loves showing off the best of the Coachella Valley to friends and visitors, and travelling back and forth between SEA & PSP for real estate clients. Both of us love to try new restaurants, shopping local and we love consignment stores, exploring the region, and we are just trying to be the person our Jack Russell thinks we are by keeping his life fun and interesting! Our boy Hooch, age 13 1/2, is a good traveler and is always with one of us helping to share our day.

Why they chose this property

There is so much to love about the Ocotillo complex - the neighborhood and gigantic pool are tops! We belong to the Twin Palms neighborhood, and its wonderful to stroll with a beverage and our dog and look at all the cool MCM architecture - holiday lights are superb in this area. Also, its such an easy spot to be to walk or jump the bus to anywhere we want to go Downtown, so technically you don't need a car if you get a rideshare from the airport. Its not a party scene at this complex - definitely the place to relax and recharge.

What makes this property unique

The amazing champange cork shaped pool and flower shaped hot tubs are the bees knees - it's obvious this was the cool cat / Rat Pack joint back in the day, and its still fabulous today!
Fun Facts: Our condo has been on the Modernism Week Tours, and designer William Krisel even autographed the inside of our vintage kitchen cabinets about 10 years ago.
Our condo has the advantage of having an exterior entrance, not relying on an access gate or a long walk from parking, so its direct and easy access to/from your vehicle. Super spot to reset, renew, and get your relaxation on.....
