Welcome!

Welcome to our desert villa in Palm Desert, CA.  We are located 2 hours east of Los Angeles, and 20 minutes from historic Palm Springs, CA.  We are centrally located in Palm Desert, in Monterey Country Club.  Enjoy golf (choices include hundreds of courses in the Coachella Valley), tennis, and kid friendly pools inside the gated community of Monterey Country Club.  Shopping is 5 minutes away on the famous El Paseo Drive, along with many restaurants to choose from.  Rancho Mirage and La Quinta are the neighboring cities, with tons of shopping amenities, spas, fabulous restaurants and theatres.  It is 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and 1,800 + sq. ft. with designer furniture and finishes, located on the 8th fairway of Monterey Country Club.  Our villa also includes a brand new golf cart that seats 4 for warm evening cruises around the development with your favorite beverage. The pool is literally steps away and also includes a jacuzzi, heated 365 days a year.  Bring your laptops, the villa is also wired for Wi-fi.  Palm Springs is the closest airport and  is only 20 minutes away from Monterey CC.
