Stay at the Sunburst - 5 Min. From Joshua Tree NP!
A few minutes from Joshua Tree National Park's main entrance and walking distance to the quirky town of Joshua Tree and the official park visitor center, the Sunburst is an eclectic home with all the amenities you need for a quick jaunt into the park (roadtrippers, we salute you!) or a week-long retreat with a private hot tub, a grill, and an outdoor chiminea fire pit. Enjoy some of the best starriest night skies and purply-pink sunsets in CA. We hope you love our Mojave home as much as we do!

All I can say is UNBELIEVABLE!! Every detail was so carefully attended too!! The house and casita are works of art. The grounds are beautiful. Loved the hot tub - unfortunately overcast our nights there- cannot imagine if the stars had been out!! Can’t wait to return in a different season and try the cold plunge pool!!

About the host
Hosted by Marissa Kozma
Hello!
My name is Marissa, and traveling (in VRBOs especially) is my absolute favorite! My experiences as a guest have been nothing but positive. I live with my husband Parker and we are originally from Toronto/Charleston, SC and Dallas. We are excited to share our home (and the Mojave) with you!
Why they chose this property
We are in a prime location — about a five-minute drive to the popular west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park and a short walk to the center of town with its shops and eateries. It is relatively quiet on a paved street in a residential neighborhood but we still see a lot of wildlife and can access local hiking trails! Nature is in our backyard so if you're looking to get away from it all (but not THAT far away from it all), this is the place to be!
What makes this property unique
Our home was built in 1952 and is one of the remaining original homes in the quirky town of Joshua Tree! It is historic and has a lot of character, which we have embellished since we moved in with landscaping and Mexican tile. We love color and antique finds so this is the opposite of the ultra-modern white boxes you typically see in the desert built by LA transplants. Our guests have said that it's better than the pictures!
