Our peaceful property is surrounded by native plants and wildlife, but is so close to town. You will feel so peaceful listening to the mourning doves each morning and watching the hummingbirds feed at dawn and dusk.
The stars are breathtaking. So enjoy our Space Deck in the backyard, especially during meteor showers and when the Milky Way is clear.
If you dare we have black lights you can take into the desert to see the scorpions light up at night. Just don`t take them home with ya

AC & Heater work great to make you feel as comfortable as needed while in the desert!

You`ve rented out our main house and the casita, so enjoy the house the entire property!

We love socializing with our guests but also respect their privacy if they want to keep to themselves. We are also always available via phone calls or texts to ensure we make your stay as amazing as possible! :)

Well of course the Joshua Tree National Park is a must visit! We are a 10 min drive away.

The Local JT town shops are a must visit and are only 5 mins drive. Twentynine Palms has great shops and restaurants as well.

There is plenty of parking on and near the property. Ride Share apps do not have as much availability but there are taxi services around that you can find online. However, be prepared to drive yourself to your destinations! :)

You`ll feel safe knowing we have a gate that surrounds our entire property. We have a lock on our gate and a padlock on all main entry doors.
So don`t worry about any coyotes, just keep the gate closed.

There is a dirt road that leads to Sapphire Haven, but all cars can drive on it.

About the host

Hosted by Zack & Bex

Host profile image
We are newly married with a love for life, adventure and everything else that comes with it! We spend half of our time in Huntington Beach and half of our time in JT, where Becca is originally from. We enjoy everything from traveling the world, house music, music festivals, CrossFit, meditation, yoga, hiking, surfing, creating experiences in the desert and so much more! We love to love people and spread smiles all over the world. Shoot us a message, we’d be stoked to meet you!

Why they chose this property

When we had the idea to purchase a home out in JT to be closer to Bex family, we never could have imagined finding Sapphire Haven. After a casual dinner with Becca's family one night they mentioned their friends were moving to Tennessee and wanted to sell their house. We at first thought it was a joke to go and check out their friend's home, but after showing up, we found out how magical this place could be. After 10 months of countless hours sharpening our handy man skills, sweating and getting used to the hot desert, Sapphire Haven was born! What at first was an idea for an Airbnb has turned into an event venue, a yoga retreat setting and wedding venue that we tied the know at in May of 2022!

What makes this property unique

Sapphire Haven is a magical place where everyone leaves better off when they arrived, simply put. It is a place where new beginnings start. From us getting married there in 2022 with 200 of our friends in family, to having a concert and campout with 60+ people where many people played for the first time, to multiple yoga retreats where people have never hosted an event before in their life. Sapphire Haven is the place to grow!
