About this property

Minutes to JT National Park, Hot Tub & Game Room

Newly renovated home in heart of downtown Joshua Tree and less than 8 minutes from the Joshua Tree National Park entrance.

Enjoy the crisp air and quiet evenings while you relax in the fully fenced, outdoor space that includes a hot tub, hammocks, a fire pit, and a lovely outdoor dining area.

Each room comes with a queen size memory foam mattresses and the master bedroom has a futon as well. The master bedroom also comes with a workstation with a desk, chair and Hi-Speed internet which makes for a perfect work-cation. The living room comes with a SmartTV and a basket of games for an evening full of fun.

Inside the kitchen, you'll find all the silverware, pots, pans, and plates you need to pretend like you’re going to cook yourself dinner from scratch! It also comes with a new Keurig coffee machine.

While in the backyard, you can lounge in the hammocks, sit by the fire, enjoy a nice dinner under the beautiful stars of Joshua Tree or relax for the evening in our hot tub. A brand new charcoal BBQ is in the backyard and it comes with some BBQ accessories, but please bring your own charcoal.

Looking for some friendly competition? Step into the garage for a fun game of ping pong or play some darts.

One of my wife and I's favorite snacks at night is popcorn with elote seasoning from Trader Joe's, and we make sure to keep this in stock at Casa Azul for you to enjoy it as well.

Parking: You can fit 2 or maybe 3 cars in the driveway. You can also park on the street in front of our house

Entry: There is a keypad located at the front door for easy keyless entry. The entry code will be provided to you 48 hours before arrival. The code is updated after every guest departs.

Internet: The house has reliable high-speed internet that I have tested from the numerous meetings I have taken from Casa Azul.

Coffee & Tea: We have an assorted arrangement of teas for you to choose from and Keurig coffee machine has two different flavors: Summit Roast and The Original Donut Shop Coffee (regular).

Fire Pit: We have a fire pit out back and ask everyone to please bring their own wood if you plan to use it.

Security: A Ring Flood Light security camera is located near the front door for your security. No cameras are located inside the property.

Pets - This property is pet-friendly, we allow well-behaved dogs under 40lbs, no more than 2 at a time, We do not allow pets on furniture or in the bedrooms, as a precaution to help keep the home clean for future guests. SORRY NO CATS ALLOWED

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.

Property owner had great communication throughout our interaction. Home was inviting and exactly as expected. It’s far enough away from the busier area to be a quiet place with not too much light pollution, yet close enough that a couple of us walked from the saloon to exercise off some good food.

Precisely what I was looking for in a trip to Joshua Tree

This was a great place to stay while visiting Joshua Tree with kids. Our favorite spot was laying in the hammocks in the backyard first thing in the morning and after a hike. The town had everything you need, and the house was ideally located.

Nice house for hikers

The check in process was easy. There was ample room for our group of three couples to have a place near the park and all the other areas like Pioneertown, 29 Palms, etc. the game room set up in the garage was nice. The beds were all comfortable.We wished the hot tub would get warmer as it barely went up past 99. But the owner was very responsive and friendly in our messages.

Our group of friends had such an amazing stay at Casa Azul! The place was beautiful and had so much to offer. We were celebrating a birthday and the host even left a celebratory gift to be found upon our arrival. I would recommend Casa Azul to anyone traveling to Joshua tree and cannot wait to return!

Quick overnight trip to Joshua Tree

The house was clean and well kept. Stocked with lots of games. Only feedback is to update the pots and pans as they are non stick and severely scratched. Also, the cleaning product used was extremely strong and made my pregnant wife a little nauseous.

What a gem!!!

Wow—what an incredible stay! From the moment I arrived, I could feel the care and attention to detail that went into this space. Everything was spotless, beautifully decorated, and filled with thoughtful touches that made it feel like home (and honestly, better than some hotels I’ve stayed in!).The bed was incredibly comfortable, the kitchen had everything I needed, and the location was ideal—peaceful. I especially appreciated the game room and spa and the hammocks…ESPECIALLY THE HAMMOCKS!!Mr Lee was so kind and responsive, making everything seamless from check-in to check-out. You can really tell they care about their guests having a great experience.I’m so grateful for this stay—it was relaxing, easy, and truly one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had. I’d recommend this place in a heartbeat and would absolutely love to come back.Thank you again for everything!

The perfect desert escape

Book your next stay HERE! The property was beautiful....exactly like the picture. The place was impeccably decorated (super Instagram-ey), the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. Also, shout out to the owners who made us feel right at home before we ever arrived. They literally thought of everything from yoga mats, hot tub towels and beyond. They were also quick to answer any questions we had. Overall, we had a blast. The property was within minutes of the national park, as well as gas stations and grocery marts. Would definitely recommend this place! And above all else it was so so clean. The fenced back yard would be great for those traveling with kiddos and/or pets too

We appreciated having a home base so close to the west entrance of Joshua tree National park. We enjoyed quiet mornings reading in the hammocks and soaking in the hot tub or watching a movie after long days in the park. The teens really enjoyed the game garage as well. The host was stellar at communication with recommendations and very responsive when we had questions. We were there for a week and he reached out midway to see if anything needed restocked (it didn’t because they had planned ahead). We enjoyed our time in Joshua tree.

Great property and you cannot beat the location to JT entrance. Everything I could possibly think of was provided in this house. The hot tub was lovely and the hammocks were *perfect* for stargazing. We enjoyed playing games like darts and ping pong when we weren’t out exploring. The house is a few miles from big box stores and great restaurants. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat. Such a lovely stay.
