Very nice floor plan. The two dead trees at the front gate are not very inviting. The pool table room in the house was great. The back yard was a mess. Disabled fireplaces were a disappointment especially since "fireplaces" were noted in the property description. The door from family room to patio did not lock. Very noisy street was a distraction. Dishwasher leaks on floor. Property was very over priced for location and condition.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the floor plan and the pool table room.
Regarding the trees at the front gate, the property is currently being updated and two new trees are scheduled to be planted in the front. The existing trees were intentionally dried out prior to removal so they can be taken out safely without damaging the surrounding concrete, gate structure, or landscaping. Landscaping improvements are also ongoing as part of these updates.
As for the fireplaces, we’d like to clarify that the firepit in the master bedroom and the firepit in the pool room are both fully operational. The fireplace in the living room was intentionally disabled for guest safety and property protection after prior misuse. This decision was made specifically to prevent hazards and ensure a safe experience for all guests.
Concerning the side patio door, it is a French-style door system. To lock it, the handle must be lifted upward, which engages the locking mechanism along the frame. We’ll be sure this is explained more clearly for future guests.
Regarding the street noise, this is the first time we’ve received this feedback. The property is located in a cove and is typically very quiet, though we understand that individual experiences can vary depending on timing and conditions.
Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us continue improving the property and overall guest experience.
We just finished a two-month rental at La Quinta Cove and really loved our stay there. The house was huge with comfortable size bedrooms and plenty of indoor living space. The pool area is just off the living room and has a fantastic unobstructed view of the mountains where you can enjoy a beautiful mountain sunrise. The outdoor area is very comfortable and we found ourselves spending most of our time around the pool. The house is on a major street but you wouldn't know it once you walk past the front door. And even though it's a big street it doesn't get much traffic so no noise impact. Plenty of parking in the driveway turn around and on the street in front of the house. We liked walking the path just across the street which leads to the base of the mountains and hiking/ biking trails. The location is close to old town La Quinta but feels very remote so if you're looking for a tranquil vacation, this is a great place for you.
The rental was well furnished and stocked. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels and sheets. The kitchen was stocked with anything we could have wanted.
Sayed was always easy to reach and helped us settle into the rental nicely. Very informative and helpful on all the workings of the house.
