Amazing Stay!
We were a group of 6 who popped into town for golf and relaxation... couldn't have found a better spot. Close to everything you need in Palm Desert, this quiet, relaxing, and spacious home is like your own resort in the heart of the desert.

Weekend getaway of 3 branches of our family. The host was helpful and responsive, the property was great and as advertised, and the house was spacious. From pool, to putting green to swimming to movie room, everyone had something to keep them happy in a large group of 15 people. Would stay again!

Great yard and location.
We had a nice time. The property manager was always available and prompt in her responses I was worried before our arrival about the pool temp; as we had children with us that wanted to swim they made sure the poo was nice and warm when we arrived!! My mistake, in booking, was not noticing there are no on suite bathrooms. We had to share. We are family, so it was kind of ok. But just an fyi. Also, the pool is small. Four of the people that were supposed to be there, could not come. There were just nine of us. If the other family had been there and the weather was warm. It would have been a tight fit it the pool. The house is older. It was clean, which is super important to us!! It had everything you need!! The beds could use new mattresses. The location is so great! Pretty desert landscape just out of town. With everything you need 5 min away!! Again, property mgr is great!

A good time was had by all. However, there were several housekeeping / maintenance issues that were a little offsetting. Like dirty dishes in the cupboard and an end-of-life battery alert in the fire alert system. Expected some kind of compensation from owner or VRBO to recognize us for our coping with these issues, but it never happened.

What A Treat!
The Desert Castle lived up to its name this past weekend.. I celebrated my Bachelor party here with 13 of my closest friends and family. From putting green competitions, to hanging out in the pool/spa, to pool tournaments, to enjoying theatre quality popcorn while watching a movie, the Castle checked every box I had. Not only that, but this spectacular house comes with an even better Host! Emma is the most responsive Host I’ve ever encountered, and is very thorough, which made the process seamless. Whether you’re considering booking a house to celebrate a milestone or just looking for a quality getaway, you are in the right place!

Amazing House for Family Get Together!
We spend almost a week at the house, five families and friends (20 people total). We had an amazing time inside the house and in the backyard with the heated pool and hot tub. Tons of pool and yard games were a major hit with our kids. Had a movie night on Saturday in the house theater. Complete privacy was also a total win for everyone. Highly recommended.

Great Family Getaway
We knew it was going to be hot in Palm Desert in July so our family was looking for a property that would offer other activities onsite while sharing some family time together. The Desert Castle delivered with the great indoor space, a fun putting green, pool, movie room, and billiards table. The pool wasn't as big as we hoped, but there were floaties blown up in the garage for us to use and the kids and adults alike had a great time. Emma, the property manager, was very easy to get in touch with and she dealt with our questions quickly and effectively. Very close driving distance to great shops and restaurants too if looking to get out of the house for a bit too. Would recommend this property to others and would definitely return again.

Weekend at the castle
My family and I were looking for a place to gather for our father’s 70th birthday. We were looking for a place that would accommodate our large family and have activities for all. We came across the “Desert Castle” and were amazed at all the accommodations. After a few days we decided to move forward. Let me just say the home was picture perfect. The property was beautiful, clean, organized and fully equipped. The host was very easy to communicate with and answered all questions in a timely manner. We did not leave the property at all. The pool was amazing, kitchen was grand, and the theater was the cherry on top. I will be booking this property again in the future.
