The yard is FULLY fenced and very safe, BUT, this is the desert, and there are many wild animals roaming around their natural habitat, as such, it is very important to keep a close eye on your furry loved ones at all times!
Please disclose if you will be bringing your furry friends with you.

This was very clean property and the host, was excellent, and a great communicator and excellent source of information! I would not hesitate to stay here again! It is very well situated to the Joshua Tree NP, just minutes away! The only reason I gave 4 stars in value for for money is that there was no washer or dryer. Had there been, it would have been a 5 stars rating! A great stay! Thank you!
Host was very responsive and helpful! Place was perfect for our quick overnight trip to JTNP. Close to the park entrance and very close to some great restaurants (recommend the Joshua Tree Saloon). The folded towels and washcloths on the beds was a very nice touch. Would definitely stay here again.
Great stay at Casa Azul! Host was outstanding with his enthusiasm, hospitality and attentiveness. The home had everything we needed for an adventurous week in JT!
The hot tub needed maintenance, the floors are very old, and it's obvious. In order to get to the backyard, you have to go out the front door. The BBQ is small, and you need charcoal. Despite these inconveniences, the property manager was very responsive to the tub not working and immediately proposed a solution. My friends and I enjoyed the ping pong table and the jacuzzi once it was fixed. We enjoyed our stay.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is excellent. The outdoor amenities are numerous and fun. The kitchen is well equipped and the overall house is very clean and nicely decorated. Parking is not an issue. The host, Lee, is extremely responsive. One of the best VRBOs I have stayed in.

Happy to hear it was one of the best VRBOs you have stayed in!
It was perfectly good place, the vibes was so welcoming and clean. We highly recommend the place for staycation. The hot tub make us feel good after exploring Joshua Tree Park.
Perfect spot for our family get away to Joshua Tree. The location is ideal, super close to the National Park entrance and close to dining and the Saturday farmers market.
Our stay was perfect! The location was ideal for visiting Joshua Tree and there are some great restaurants nearby. We really enjoyed the hot tub and hammocks in the back yard. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Above all, the host was gracious and responsive. Highly recommend!

Thank you for the review. It was a pleasure hosting you!
Excellent communication with the host, any questions we had were immediately answered helpfully and kindly! Lee also offered us an early Che k in as they hadn’t had a guest the night before, which was very helpful for our group. Fabulous hot tub (always a priority when we book!) and cozy home :)
Clean, comfortable, well appointed, excellent communication with owner, easy check in/out. Centrally located. Everything we needed for a comfortable overnight stay in Joshua Tree.

We had a wonderful stay. The place was clean, spacious and had amazing hosts. Highly recommend!
The house was perfect to wind down and have a home cooked meal after being in the park all day. The hammocks and ping pong were fun. Would brings bags for packing wet suits when leaving. Definitely would stay again.
