About this property

Walt's Place: Original Midcentury Desert Getaway

This original midcentury bungalow is nestled in the La Quinta Cove. Designed by Walter White and built in 1958, "Walt's Place" is listed on the historic register. While it's been renovated, the original spirit remains. With a guest house in the back, it comfortably welcomes a group of 6—and sleeps up to 8. Hike the cove's trails. Meander down to Old Town La Quinta. Or just relax to birdsong in the yard while watching the sun rise over the surrounding mountains. This is desert living at its best.

To accompany the outdoor dining table, Walt’s place is equipped with a gas grill.

Amazing

Amazing home and views! Wake up in the morning, sit in outside in a comfy rocking chair and enjoy your coffee in the sun, or shade. The housevis perfectly positioned to enjoy the outdoors any time of the day. Situated in the cove, you are in a nice quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from desert trails. And yet, close to activities, events and dining. This home is nicely decorated, comfortable and well equipped. Amazing hosts!
