Husband and proud father of three, and a radio personality & DJ at Mega 96.3 FM in LA, CA, I am excited to open our doors to guests from around the world. Our home was built with love and care, and I am excited to share its many comforts and special memories with you. From the cozy living spaces to the beautiful outdoor area, we hope you'll make unforgettable memories here. Come and experience the warmth of our Casa Altura for yourself!
Why they chose this property
We chose Joshua Tree as our family getaway home for a few reasons. Firstly, the natural beauty of the area is truly breathtaking, with its unique rock formations, diverse flora and fauna, and stunning desert landscape. Secondly, the area has a rich history and cultural significance, with several sacred Native American sites and a thriving arts community. Additionally, the peaceful and quiet atmosphere of Joshua Tree offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, allowing me to relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature. Lastly, the wide variety of outdoor activities available in the area, from hiking and rock climbing to stargazing and photography, make it an ideal destination for anyone looking to experience the beauty of the outdoors. Overall, Joshua Tree has everything I was looking for in a vacation rental property, and I can't wait to experience all that this incredible location has to offer.
What makes this property unique
Our home is a truly unique and special place, nestled atop a hill in the heart of Joshua Tree. As you step onto the property, you'll be immediately captivated by the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. With stunning valley views, majestic mountain vistas, and fascinating boulder formations all around, you'll feel like you're in your own private oasis. Our home is a sanctuary that offers a one-of-a-kind experience, allowing you to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in the peaceful beauty of the desert. Whether you're relaxing on the porch taking in the sunset, or stargazing under the brilliant night sky, our home will provide you with a truly unforgettable experience.
