Loved everything about our stay, with the minor exception of no lounge chairs were avaliable for the pool. We understand the owner was in the process of replacing the previous ones, but the photos show lounge chairs, and we didnt really have anywhere to sit and enjoy the pool. Otherwise, i cant say enough about the beautiful sunrises, and hiking out the back was perfect when we didnt want to go all the way into the Joshua Tree park

First off the pictures on the website accurately reflected the actual house and it's incredible views. It was a beautiful house with gorgeous views. It was clean and literally everything in the house worked as it was supposed to. On the first night the propane tank on the BBQ ran out and unfortunately the spare was also empty, a staff member was out to the house to replace and refill those tanks within the hour! Eddie the property manager was available and attentive to our needs. We will definitely be returning to this property in the future.

3 nights at Casa Altura

This property was perfect for our party of 4 (2 couples) while we visited Joshua Tree. No fighting over the best bedroom because they are both very similar, each with it’s own bathroom. The kitchen and living areas are spacious and light with large windows looking out over the desert. Loved the hot tub and pool too. And a convenient proximity to the National park. Best restaurant around was Kitchen in the Desert, 18 mins away. Great food and vibe. Would stay here again!

We had an amazing stay at Casa Altura.

He even left a bottle of wine for my wife's birthday.The house is in a prime spot with a great view, close proximity to restaurants/shops down the hill, and a quick drive to the park entrance. We loved it and will be coming back for sure!

Beautiful desert respite

This was our last stop on a week long road trip hiking at different national parks throughout Nevada, Utah and Arizona and it was a much needed respite! Such a lovely oasis in the desert, the views were great and the pool and hot tub were amazing! We took moonlight swims under the stars and early morning swims after watching the sunrise while sipping coffee. The kitchen was also super well stocked and cooking and eating a meal while watching the sunset was really special. I also enjoyed walking around the area behind the property looking at interesting plants and watching the bunnies and quail run around. The beds and pillows were really comfy, and we loved all the soaps and shampoos too. A wonderful stay!

An oasis in the Joshua Tree area

The property was just perfect for our visit to Joshua Tree! We spent two glorious nights enjoying Casa Altura. The views are spectacular, and the spa was perfect for soothing our tired bones after a day of hiking. Eddie was the most responsive host I have ever had for a vacation rental. If we ever find ourselves back in this area, I will definitely be booking this home.

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.
